"No..no..no." Panic started to rise in Sooheon, he called Chanmi back to back after the call had dropped. "Come on please answer." He tapped his fingers anxiously on his lap. The call didn't go through again and it was sent to voicemail. He knew that these seconds would turn into minutes and hours eventually, he needed to find another solution before Chanmi woke up and things would get worse for her.

Sooheon rushed to call Soyeon to explain the whole situation to her. She picked up at the first ring. "Hello?" Soyeon said. "Soyeon you have to help me, Chanmi isn't answering her phone. I was talking to her minutes ago. We were trying to find the anonymous person that was threatening her and the call dropped." Soyeon paused for a moment to process everything she heard. A lot of questions ran through her mind. She didn't know where to begin. "I can't believe what I'm hearing, where was she? Where are you?" Soyeon worried for them. "She was in a classroom, looking for the anonymous person and she shouted two times to see who was inside. The call dropped shortly after the second time." Sooheon explained. "I'm at home and I know I should've been with her. I thought of calling her to hear what was going on." Sooheon regretted not being with her and the realization hit him that she could've been in danger either way. "Let's go over there and save her." Soyeon insisted. "Okay, I'll be on my way." Sooheon responded and ended the call.

Chanmi slowly blinked, opening her eyes. Her vision blurred, however she noticed a figure was sitting in front of her and that figure was one of the anonymous people. She was sitting face to face with Gwi Nam. She wanted to scream and shout. Ask him why he was doing this to her. The blindfold still wrapped around her mouth not allowing her to speak; she could only breathe through her nose. "You're awake, that took you forever." Gwi Nam teased with a mischievous grin. Shut up. Chanmi muffled under the blindfold in disagreement to his comment.
"That was easy though, seems like you're a quick sleeper." His smile widened and then it shifted to a serious expression. "Listen, I'll take the blindfold off your mouth but you need to tell me why you're at this school. That's all we ask." we? 
Gwi Nam walked closer to her and crouched down. He reached behind Chanmi's head and unfolded the blindfold, removing it from her mouth. Chanmi exhaled. Gwi Nam took the blindfold and sat down to face her. "I'm waiting." Gwi Nam said. "The same reason that you made me pass out." Chanmi glared. "You told me to haunt you and I did. You didn't think I was capable of that, did you?" Gwi Nam smiled knowingly. "So tell me, why are you here?" He repeated the question adding more desire. "You killed my brother! I know he never jumped out of that window it was YOU who pushed him out! You had no right! I moved here to find his killer and it turned out to be easier because now I'm sitting in front of him. All it took was a few words that tied me to you!" Chanmi shot intensely and powerfully at Gwi Nam, she lashed out the emotions she kept in the deep pit of her soul since the hardest days of her life. "So tell me, why did you kill him?" Chanmi confronted, referring to the previous question. Gwi Nam paid no attention to her, he got distracted by the footsteps he heard coming from the hallway.

Sooheon and Soyeon marched into the school, they were ready to find Chanmi. "Chanmi!" Soyeon called. "Chanmi!" Sooheon called. Their voices bounced towards them. No response. "This way." Sooheon directed Soyeon to the path that leads to the classroom.

"Answer me! Why did you kill my brother?" Chanmi wouldn't take no for an answer, she wanted Gwi Nam to admit that Park Wonseok's innocent blood was on his hands. The closure she craved for and then vengeance. Gwi Nam avoided confessing, avoided the small piece of guilt that nagged at him.  That wasn't me. He could hear the footsteps getting closer and defeat overcame him. Gwi Nam escaped the classroom. "Osung we  need to leave!" He warned Osung through his phone as he ran to the front of the school.

Sooheon and Soyeon saw a shadow running out the front doors. "It's them!" Sooheon ran faster to catch up to the anonymous person, thinking that Chanmi was there too. Soyeon tried to chase them down and Gwi Nam got away.

Chanmi panted. She had reached the front of the school and found Sooheon and Soyeon standing near the doors panting also. "Guys." Chanmi said. "Chanmi!" Soyeon's eyes lit up. "Did anyone hurt you?" Sooheon searched her face. Her outer parts of her mouth looked pink. "I passed out, that was it."  She told them. They were concerned then and that increased now more than ever. "We should leave it isn't safe here. We will figure the rest of our situation tomorrow."
