Gu Won and Ji Hu walked from the streamer's room he rented out. "You must have charged up well. Your powers are back." Ji Hu said.

"I know. I worried for nothing." They stopped with Gu Won getting a call. Ji Hu looked at Gu Won's face, seeing a smirk appear. He placed a finger to his lips before taking her wrist. They teleported once again; this time they were in Gu Won's office. He was still on the phone with Mr. Park. "I put it on the shelf." Gu Won answered Mr. Park's question.

"I can't find it." Ji Hu bent down slightly, trying her hardest not to giggle at the child-like nature. "By the way, the sound quality is insane. It's as if you're right behind me." Mr. Park said.

"I am right behind you." That's when Ji Hu lost it. Mr. Park spun around, exclaiming upon seeing Gu Won and Ji Hu behind him. Ji Hu had to sit on the edge of the couch, trying to catch her breath.

"I'll never get used to this." Mr. Park complained.

"Why can't you find the book? It's right-" Gu Won stopped, realizing that Mr. Park wasn't playing with him. His precious book wasn't where he left it. Ji Hu exhaled, wiping her eyes after that good laugh. "It's not there. I could've sworn I put it there." Gu Won said.

"I told you. It's not there." Mr. Park said.

"Are you sure you didn't misplace it?" Gu Won asked.

Ji Hu moved along the bookshelf. There was a book that stood out from the rest on the shelf. It didn't match any of the other books on the shelf. Ji Hu picked it up, opening it to see what Gu Won was hiding from her. Ji Hu looked through some of the pages of the book, giggling at one of the pictures of Gu Won from several decades ago. "Jeong Il Won, Jeong I Won, Jeong Sam Won..." she read aloud, making sure Gu Won and Mr. Park heard her. "As in one, two three?" She questioned as Gu Won took the book from her. "Hey, I wasn't done!"

"Everyone around me seems to have sticky fingers." Gu Won put the book on a high shelf where Ji Hu couldn't reach it.

"I guess next name will be Sip Won like 'ten won.'" Mr. Park laughed at Ji Hu's joke.

"I don't think so."

"But it is. Pal Won is eight, Gu Won for nine, Sip Won for ten." Ji Hu smirked playfully.

"I will never go with that name." Gu Won said.

"Why not? I like it, it rolls off the tongue nicely. Sip Won, Sip Won. Jeong Sip Won." Gu Won closed his eyes, groaning softly.

"She has a point." Mr. Park said. "Our foundation is all about tradition. Keep the tradition alive." Ji Hu laughed, holding up her hand for Mr. Park to high-five her.

"Good one, Mr. Park."

"Thank you."

"I shouldn't have started with the name Jeong Il Won." The laughter between Mr. Park and Ji Hu died pretty quickly.

Ji Hu decided not to tease Gu Won any longer. There would be other times for that. "So, what's the title of this missing book? I can help look for it." Ji Hu said.

"The title is simple "Demon."" Ji Hu nodded until she turned around to Mr. Park, head tilted. "It's green, and there's an eye-like thing on the spine."

Ji Hu pointed to where the book was previously. "Oh, the book that was... there..." Ji Hu lowered her hand. "Yeah, he was so protective of it when I tried to take it off the shelf. I assumed it was his diary or God forbid a log of all the people whose deals ended." Ji Hu explained. Ji Hu looked at the bookcase. "What kind of book is it?" Ji Hu asked.
