chapter 4

"Somebody help!" Jisung shouted, his voice breaking as he and Jeongin struggled to support Eunbi's lifeless body.

"Eunbi? EUNBI, what the hell?" Soobin cried out, panic flooding his veins as he saw his sister's pale face.

"What happened?" Beomgyu asked, rushing over, his eyes wide with fear.

"Call an ambulance!" Soobin screamed, his voice desperate.

"Everybody back up! Give her space!" Beomgyu commanded, pushing the crowd away as they began to gather.

"It's her neck, something bit her. She's losing so much blood," Jisung stammered, his hands trembling as he tried to stop the bleeding.

"Bi, please, open your eyes. Look at me!" Soobin begged, shaking Eunbi, his voice cracking with fear.

Hyunjin stood at a distance, his face pale as he watched the chaotic scene unfold. Fear gripped him, and without a word, he turned and bolted into the night. Soobin noticed Hyunjin's abrupt departure but was too focused on Eunbi to react.

Hyunjin ran all the way home, He burst through the door, and found Suho waiting for him."What's going on?" Suho asked, concern etched on his face.

"Someone was attacked tonight, Suho, and it wasn't me," Hyunjin replied, Without waiting for a response, he dashed upstairs to his room. As he entered, he heard a soft caw and turned to see a crow fluttering into the room, his gaze shifting to the balcony, where a shadowed figure stood.

"Minho," Hyunjin muttered, his voice heavy with recognition.Minho's lips curled into a smirk. "Hello, brother."The crow perched on the balcony railing, cawing ominously. "The crow's a bit much, don't you think?" Hyunjin said, his tone dry.

"Wait till you see what I can do with the fog," Minho replied, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes.

Hyunjin's expression remained cold. "When did you get here?"

"I couldn't miss your first day of school," Minho replied sarcastically, stepping into the room. "Your hair's different. I like it," he added, his gaze lingering.

"It's been 15 years, Minho," Hyunjin said, his voice taut with the weight of their shared history.

"Thank God," Minho chuckled. "I couldn't take another day of the '90s. That horrible grunge look did not suit you. Remember, Hyunjin, it's important to stay away from fads."

"Why are you here?" Hyunjin asked, his patience thinning.

"I missed my little brother," Minho replied, his tone deceptively warm.

"You hate small towns. They bore you. There's nothing here for you."

"I've managed to keep myself entertained."

"You know, you left someone alive tonight. That's very careless of you," Hyunjin said, his voice edged with disappointment.

"Ugh, that could be a problem... for you," Minho responded with a sly smile.

Hyunjin shook his head, his disappointment deepening. "Why are you here now?" he asked again, his tone more insistent.

"I could ask you the same question," Minho said, his voice smooth. "But I'm fairly certain your answer can be summed up in one little word: 'Jisung.'" A knowing smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.

The ambulance arrived swiftly, taking Eunbi away, with Soobin accompanying her.
