The boys sat down in chairs outside, listening to Hyunjin talk.

"Soojin was my older sister. I was coming to surprise her here with a new pair of shoes she has her eyes on..."

"And what happened then?", Jeongin asked.

"People crowded the locker rooms. I wanted to see what was happening. I didn't expect to see my sister's body on the floor. Her throat was cut, and her face slashed beyond recognition."

The boys gasped in shock.

"She was beautiful, talented, the star of the school. They were jealous..."

Jisung held his hand.

"I blocked this place out of my memory as soon as I left. I didn't want to remember. My parents blamed me for it."

"Why? You weren't even here?", Chan said.

"Exactly. They said if I had been here sooner...she would still be alive."

"Hyunjin that's pure bs, those cheerleaders probably would have killed you too!", Changbin told him.

Hyunjin sighed.

"I know. But mom and dad didn't care. Soojin was their everything. She was top tier compared to their son who did nothing in his life."

"So they felt like she was more important? That's terrible.", Felix said.

"When Soojin died, my world died too. But they didn't care. They might as well have had no kids left. It's not like they cared about me. I'm sure their pretty little daughter was far more valuable."

Hyunjin stood up.

The boys all stood up as well.

"I need to talk to her."

"I'll go with. Jisung you stay out here this time.", Chan said.

"Are you sure?", Jisung asked.

"Listen to him baby, you almost got drowned by a ghost.", Hyunjin replied.

"That's true."

The boys wished Chan and Hyunjin luck as they left to go to the locker rooms.

As they got closer, they noticed the air felt warmer, more at ease.

"Hmm. Usually ghosts make you cold.", Chan said.

"But Soojin is special.", Hyunjin said smiling.

Eventually, they reached the locker rooms.

Walking inside, humming was heard.

Chan recognized the melody as the song "Sherlock" by popular group Shinee.

The two got closer to the source of the sound. When they turned a corner, they saw her.

Soojin was dancing around the locker rooms, her uniform blowing around. She seemed happy.
