Accidental EnCOUNTER | Slow Updates

Chapter 12: Interlink

Waiting for their members to wake up are draining them both mentally and physically. They had a feeling that Kanghyun's recovery will not be as fast as Yeon's. Nonetheless, Yonghoon forced Harin and Dongmyeong to eat so that they have energy. They are not aware of Hyeonjun's activity so it's better to be alert than stay in despair. It'll do them no good.

With Kang Joon in the picture, he tries to track Hyeonjun on his own. He already had some intel on his background so he can start there. He opens up the box where he kept his files and started researching again in his office. Both parties were not keen on resting as they feel the tension rises.

In the eyes of a cop, a killer is on the lose. In the eyes of a Counter, an evil spirit is on the lose.

Yeon was disturbed yet again with her past memory, so as Kanghyun while they remain unconscious on the hospital bed. They were in pain not only physically but also mentally.

Yeon's mind was filled with darkness, it was like she was running away from something. It was as if she's trapped in the same nightmare repeatedly. She kept running but goes back to the same place. The building. The one she took a photo on her phone. The moment she realizes was the moment she opened her eyes. She was scared... but of what?

She took a glance of the room but it was quite difficult because the room was dark. She could make out that there's two people on the sofa and one beside her on the hospital bed, probably Kanghyun. That leaves another one. She sat up on her bed and saw that there's one more on the floor, wrapped up in what seems like a sleeping bag.

She finds her phone beside her and take a quick glance. It was 3 a.m. It was way too early to wake up the others. She ended up tries to sleep again but the picture of the building is running through her mind. She had no other idea to make sense of it than sending the picture to her senior, Kang Joon. Knowing she won't get reply immediately, she decides to go to Yung.

"Giwook."

"What are you doing her noona? You should be resting now." He looked worried but Yeon figured she had enough of feeling clueless. She wanted to know something. Something that her past self would tell her.

"I wanted to ask you something. Please don't tell this to the other Counters." She begged him and he relunctantly nodded. "What's this about noona?"

"My memory, Giwook. I've had enough of bad dreams chasing me in my sleep. It's trying to tell me something Giwook but I can't make sense of what it is! It's frustrating. Being a Counter, I thought I could remember but... just like Mo Tak sunbae... I remember none that's important to why I'm here."

"Noona-"

"Giwook, can't I go back to my past? Can't I just survive the hit? Can't I-" Her voice starting breaking as she witheld her tears from falling down. "Seeing your reaction that I can't, is there anyway that I can remember it back?" She quickly wipes her tears before Giwook took notice of it.

Giwook looked at her while holding her hands and said "There... is a way."

Kang Joon was at the police station where he slept throughout the night as he was lazy to go back to his house. He was awaken when he heard footsteps of the other officers entering in the station. He quickly went back to change before returning.

There has been a number of cases he had covered before but the one he met that morning was unexpected. This was brutal. Upon receiving the files, he caught on something similar which had happened before... the same building was showed.
