''How are you going to find Ulturi's sword ?'' Y/n asked walking alongside Yeon.
''It is..... With me.'' Yeon said speaking in rhymes but y/n understood him.
''Oh my--
How are you going to get that then ?''
''It's not exactly easy but no one knows myself better than me.''

''How did you know I was here ?'' Y/n asked a little guilty of the act she pulled up.
''Remember the old man I bumped into as we entered this place, I came across him again, just he wasn't old anymore. I joined two and two together, it wasn't that difficult. And--'' He said stopping right in front of the door to the room.
''You will not do something like this again, y/n. You are my responsibility here. So please, dont do anything dangerous while im gone.'' He said with a soft look but firm words as they stepped in the room.

Yeon put on his coat and suddenly started sneezing not knowing it was the work of Rang's spirit passing through him again and again. The younger thought he might give a sign or a clue to Yeon but it didn't work.

''You always got sick even as a kid. Were you just born to torture me ?'' Yeon said kneeling beside Rang's unconscious body.
''You bastard. Is that what you say to your dying brother ?'' Rang's spirit spoke.
''Please hang in there until I come back. I will never give up on you.'' Yeon then looked at y/n who gave him a reassuring nod.
''Dont worry, i'll be here.'' Y/n said when the older waited for her expecting to hear more.
''And I won't do anything dangerous, I promise Yeon. Just, come soon.'' She said as Yeon patted her head and walked out.

After a few minutes y/n felt something in the room. A weird presence around her. It was Rang's spirit, who couldn't help but think about knowing the truth of her even in that state.

''Is anyone here ?'' Y/n said as she got up looking around the room but she could see no one.
''That's weird, I certainly felt something.'' She said rubbing her hands because she suddenly started feeling cold. Regardless, she went and covered Rang in a thick duvet because of the sudden drop of temperature in the room.

''Maybe I should go and ask for the girl to check. It's getting colder and colder for some reason.'' Y/n muttered to herself as she walked out of the room, Rang's spirit following her.
''Where did she go ?'' Y/n stopped when she heard a loud crying sound from nearby. She sprinted towards the sound to see the same little girl crying who she saw earlier with Bang sak.
''No, you cant go there. You'll get in serious trouble. Yeon isn't here and I cant do anything in this state.'' Rang said panicking but not a word reached y/n's ears as she stepped closer to see what is happening.

The thing she witnessed made her go pale. Bang sak took the lifespan of the little girl making her skin wrinkled and old. He called the kid 'food' for him and when y/n finally connected the dots,
''He wasnt sharing his lifespan.'' Y/n whispered loud enough for Rang who was standing beside her to see and hear everything.
''He was taking it.'' The gumiho completed her sentence.
''I have to tell Yeon.'' They both spoke in sync making Bang sak's head turn their way as y/n managed to quickly hide behind a tree.

''Wait a minute, can he hear me...?'' Rang spoke only drawing more attention.
''There you are.'' Bang sak said as he in a wink came closer to Rang's spirit.

Y/n couldn't see what was going on because her back was facing the scene that was playing, she held her hands closer to her mouth not even making a sound of her breathing

Y/n couldn't see what was going on because her back was facing the scene that was playing, she held her hands closer to her mouth not even making a sound of her breathing.

''He cant see me, he can hear me.'' Rang thought to himself.
''Darn, I lost him. Bring his body to me. And yeah, dont forget the girl.'' He ordered his men as Rang finally breathed after they all left.
''Y/n ? Where did she go ?'' He said looking around but she was nowhere.
He then hurried to follow after Bang sak and his men that reached his room. They were all taken by surprise to see the room empty, including Rang.
''Find them, no matter what.'' Bang sak commanded.

In a different room, y/n carefully laid down Rang's body along with the help of the gisaeng's.
''Is anyone there ?'' A voice called out from outside of their room and everyone looked at each other with terror in their eyes. Y/n looked at them with assuring eyes as one of the girls stepped out of the room.
''How may I help you ?'' She asked.
''Im looking for some people and I have only one room left to search.'' Bang sak spoke.
''These are gisaeng's quarters. Please leave.'' The girl denied them entry in the room.

But Bang sak was too adamant on what he wanted,
''That's too bad, because I must search this room.'' He said walking up to the girl.
''Are you sure ? Even if I say i'll call madam ?'' That made him retreat his steps.
''Search carefully. Im sure they're here at Myoyeongak.'' Bang sak left with his men as Rang entered the room and breathed a relief to finally see y/n.

''Thank you so much for helping us.'' Y/n thanked all the gisaengs and Rang understood why his body was here.
''It was a customers request and madam gave us permission too.'' One of them said.
''Could you please look after him for a moment, i'll be right back.'' Y/n said getting out of the room, reluctantly leaving Rang alone.

''Why do you keep moving every now and then, this place is not a garden what if that demon sees you ?'' Rang babbled after y/n.
''I cant just sit there and wait for Yeon to come and die at Bang sak's hands. If he has asked Yeon to bring Ulturi's sword it is definitely not to kill himself.'' Y/n went on talking to herself which proved advantageous to Rang. Her feet paused when she looked at the little girl who was now looking like an old woman in a childs body.

She walked closer to the girl and sat beside her as she looked at her feeling hatred for the father who abandoned her.
''What is your name ?'' Y/n asked sweetly to the kid.
''Juk hyang.'' She replied but she wasn't looking at y/n but Rang's spirit beside her.
''Yah, can you see me ?'' Rang spoke surprised when the girl replied,
''Yes, I can see you. Are you a ghost ?'' Y/n felt confused with what was happening.
''Juk hyang, who are you talking to ?'' Y/n asked clueless.

''To the ahjussi behind you.'' She said pointing towards Rang's spirit which y/n couldn't see.
''But, there's no one behind me.'' Y/n spoke now feeling a little creeped out.
''Tell her, it's me, Rang.'' He relayed to the little girl.
''He's saying his name is Rang.''
''What ? But how--''
''He says, there's not much time.''
''But how can you see him and not me ?'' Y/n asked flabbergasted.
''My grandmother was a shaman.''
''That makes sense but why---
That jerk stole my gifts.''
