[25: PLAN IN MOTION : TRUTH]

Sunghoon sighed as he stared at the ceiling. He hated the hospital with a passion.

"Uhm.. are you Park Sunghoon?" A soft voice asked. Sunghoon sat up and saw a teenage girl standing at the door way. He immediately recognized she was the cashier from the convenience store.

"Yes I am." Sunghoon replied. "I'd like to thank you for what you did that day." She said. Sunghoon smiled a bit, "you're welcome." "I hope that you have a smooth recovery." She said. Sunghoon looked at her uniform, "You attend SOPA?" He asked. The girl nodded. "And you have a job?" Sunghoon asked. The girl nodded again.

Sunghoon scratched the back of his neck and pulled out his wallet. The girl tilted her head in confusion. "Here's 500." He said, handing her money. "I can't take this." She said, chuckling nervously. "I mean you technically don't have a job right now, it's burnt down. So take this..." Sunghoons words trailed off. "Oh! I'm Kyujin." She said. "Kyujin. Take the money." Sunghoon said.

Kyujin hesitantly took the money from Sunghoon and bowed at a 90° angle before rushing out. "Was that the cashier?" Cheonsa asked, walking in. Sunghoon nodded and gave Cheonsa a big hug.

Cheonsa tilted her head but hugged back. "I love you so much." Sunghoon said softly. Cheonsa smiled a bit. "I love you too." She replied, before checking her phone. "I have to go to class. I just came to check on you." She said. Sunghoon hugged her tighter, "You can miss class today."

Cheonsa chuckled, "I've already missed a few days 'Hoon-" "It's college they don't care." Sunghoon said, burying his head in the crook of her neck. "You seem emotionally detached." He said after a long pause of silence. "Do I?" Cheonsa asked. Sunghoon nodded.

Cheonsa sighed and prayed with his hair, "It's not like that." "Let's take a nap together." Sunghoon said. "I have to go to class." Cheonsa said. "You've never cared about class so much but fine." Sunghoon broke the hug and laid on the hospital bed, rolling up in the blanket. Cheonsa sighed and left the room.

Hyunjin paced around the room while fiddling with his pen. Seungmin watched him silently.

"I've been getting it wrong this whole time." Hyunjin said. "What do you mean sir?" Seungmin asked. "I got a copy of the book. I know all of his weaknesses. But I'm not doing something right." Hyunjin said.

He grabbed the book off of his desk and flipped through the pages. Seungmin watched him and bit his lip.

"If a demon kills a human or brings a human back from the dead, they will combust into flames and immediately be turned to ash. The power will transfer to the victim unless they reject it." Hyunjin said, as a sly smirk appeared on his face.

"What do you have in mind sir?" Seungmin asked. "I'll kill the girl myself." Hyunjin replied. "How will that get you the power?" Seungmin asked. "He's going to kill me and bring her back obviously." Hyunjin said. "But the power will go to her." Seungmin said. "And I'll kill her again and the power will come to me since I was the other victim! Are you dense?!" Hyunjin yelled. "Sorry sir.." Seungmin sighed.

Hyunjin smiled again and clapped his hands together. "Let's put this plan in motion."
