— Nightmare part 1

      Ji Hui held a the bag he had given to Kim Dokja that was now smung over his back as Pancake walked beside him. Kim Dokja had arribed and the first thing he did was hand over the bag. Then he began gibing out things that he claimed fell out of the sky after he prayed at the samyeongdang statue.

No one believed him but Ji Hui didn't care because his back was packed full with snacks as per his request.

He was satisfied.

"Be prepared. We will be at Chungmuro soon." Kim Dokja said the further they walked inside the tunnel.

"Welcome prison? What is this?" Yoo sangah asked at the new Sub-scenario.

"It is coming. Everyone, please keep your mind straight."

Ji Hui couldn't say anything as a haze fog covered his vision. The fog covered his whole body and none of the other members could be seen let alone heard.

Ji Hui looked around and found that he was in an familiar place.

The place that he wanted to go back too.

「 Bambi... 」

Ji Hui could see his a familiar face that sent chills down his spine. The person that caused his father's demise.

「 Uncle did this for your own good right? 」

「  You didn't see nor hear anything... 」

「 Uncle didn't do anything wrong. It's all for you.. 」

The man that was once called his uncle ran his finger across his cheek with a sick smile on his face.

「 You don't want uncle to go to jail do you? 」

「 So don't tell mommy or daddy.. 」

Ji Hui could feel the nausea coming up his throat. He was frozen in place and couldn't move. The scene changed to his father's corpse on the ground as his uncle was being held by the police.

His mother cried over his father's corpse but Ji Hui couldn't move.

「 Did I tell you to stay quiet? 」

「 Now your daddy is dead and it's all your fault but don't worry uncle will always love you. 」

「 I'm the only one you need. 」

Ji Hui crouched down and held his head. He did shed tears—no he couldn't shed tears. Even him taking his own mother's life couldn't compare to fear that his uncle had on him.

His sick smile as he was taken away in handcuffs couldn't be erased from his mind no matter what he tried.

He could never forget that day.

Ji Hui had been holding on to the guilt of not telling his father what his uncle did but he didn't want get his uncle in trouble but he knew that it was wrong so he decided it was better to confess.

So he did.

Ji Hui had told his father how he had heard his uncle conversing with someone about framing his father for embezzlement and then how he planted evidence inside his computer as if he had done it. He Apologized to his father for not telling him sooner but his father didn't blame him and said he would speak with him.

But he didn't know that it wouldn't end well.

Ji Hui had been resting in bed when a loud commotion had woken him up. He rushed downstairs to find his Uncle on top of his father's corpse holding a knife drenched in blood.

His mother cried out desperation but his uncle gave her q cold glare and raised his knife about to end her life as well but Ji Hui couldn't let that happen.

"Mom!"

Both eyes turned to him but his mother was faster. She rushed toward him and hid in the bathroom and called the police but he couldn't hear his uncle calling the nickname he'd always call him.

The time went by in a flash and by the time Ji Hui came to be again his uncle was now in handcuffs and his mother held his fathers corpse in desperation hoping for her husband to come back.

But it had been too late.

He'd never awaken again.

「 Bambi... 」

Ji Hui clenched his head against his knee as the man's voice he couldn't move—he couldn't move.

「 Bambi... 」

Ji Hui knew this wasn't real but it felt real he couldn't move. That voice never failed to send chills even when his uncle sent letters he couldn't bring himself to read them.

He had just forgotten him.

Why is back.

「 Bambi... 」

"He isn't real..." Ji Hui muttered to himself.

「 My dear Bambi... 」

Ji Hui had almost clenched his nails into his flesh. Kim Dokja and Lee Hyunsung had been both trying to snap him from it but it seemed to have a hold on him that they couldn't wake him up.

「 Bam– 」

"JI HUI!" Kim Dokja's shout had finally reached him and Ji Hui instantly looked up at him adjusting to the brightness of the room.

"Are you okay?" Ji Hui had begun adjusting and regaing control of his body but he felt pancakes worried nudge on his side.

Ji Hui didn't speak but clenched onto pancakes neck with force and Kim Dokja could only look as he checked the rest of the group.

[ The Constellation 'Empress Mother' is distressed. ]

[ The constellation 'Secretive plotter' is worried. ]

[ The constellation 'The red cloak' is disgusted by your uncle. ]

[ The constellation 'Emperor of the abyss' is worried. ]

....

Ji Hui didn't even glance at the continuing messages. He couldn't deny he was still shaken up at the sight of that man again and his disgusting voice.

Kim dokja along with the rest of the group were worried about Ji Hui.

They had never seen him like this.

It was a new experience that they couldn't help but worry.

—

I am gonna explain this a bit more. Ji Hui's uncle was obsessed with him, not in a sexual and love type. He just wanted Ji Hui to depend on him and need only him and become the only 'parent' in his life. He wanted ji hui to be entirely depen on him alone amd not just be 'uncle'.

So he wanted to plant crimes so Ji Hui would be taken away and he could gain custody over him.

But Ji Hui's father found put (because Ji Hui told him) and threatened him. But he didn't take him seriously but he lost all control when Ji Hui's father said that he could no longer see Ji hui.

So he decided to kill him and then he would kill his mother and frame it as a break-in gone wrong but it obviously didn't work out.
