"This isn't my money!!"  Her laugh shakes out into the sparse woods as the ash begin to blow. Nabi's breath hisses as her eyes contemplates if her vision's vivid. Who could've imagined one would turn a blind eye to their family for money. Nabi feels a lump in her throat. Swallowing it quickly she gains back conscious and eyes the flaring premises gleaming beside her. Ignoring the fucked up girl's conditon she panics. The wretchedness gushes back as she runs to rescue, again getting tackled by strong arms. 

"Let go!!! We must save them!!" She exasperates but his grip again forces her back.
"I said calm down and just look at her." He propels to make her look and the new sight again confuses her. 

"Hahaha, my money. . ." Song-Hi shuts down and begins malfunctioning as she visions her mother and sister trailing towards her. Behind whom stood Chan and the others. Nabi glances back at Hyunjin, skimming through his assuring eyes then turns back. Song-Hi swore she could feel her heartbeat down her toes, as her mouth rippled. And then the stammer begins.

"M-mom..."

Her mother couldn't even fathom to believe her eyes. Her own blood steered for greed rather than family. Her brain felt piercing through her skull and it made her wince. 

"It was her father's illegal money, she kept it hidden. She deceived her own mother, planning to keep it for herself." Hyunjin says her head jolts at him.
"Seojin-ah. I had no choice. ." She pleads to the younger sister while her mother watches her build excuses, silently, sickeningly. 

"Mom. . .I can explain. ." And there she feels a blaring sting on her face as her head cocks sideways. She snaps back wide-eyed. "Hey!!" Her eyes burn hot. Jolting her younger daughter's hand she gushes pass without sparing a glance to the desperate colleen.
"Don't go!! Don't. Don't go!!" She yells pointlessly, kneeling down, wailing aimlessly yet her mewl wasn't so convincing. Her eyes crawl back to the fake cash.
"Where's my money, by the way?" Gazing up, she asks. Grace couldn't have been more angrier. She steps forward.

"Wasn't yours to begin with." She bends down glaring at the other's shameless mien, before her sending her off with a painful punch. Grace doesn't register her feet moving going back in angst. Hyunjin signals the others, getting nods and follows the other.

The fire still blared, roared through the night sky as both walked through the undulating, shady grass. The ashes filled the air as their eyes dilated upon the illuminating shimmer from front.

Both their gazes met at the same time, Hyunjin spoke first. "Just this evening, I found out about it. Her dad managed to smuggle the illegal money before his arrest. For her real daughter, but his biggest mistake was giving it to her. She planned to keep it for herself, not even informing her biological mother." He stood, eyes glazed with flame as he looked at her. She gazes back at the blare. Losing filial feelings would be the biggest of the loss one could ever bear.
"So. . .where's the actual money?"

"Right there only, buried deeply." Her eyes wander to the spot, spotting Minho and Changbin carrying two axes.
Amusement shines across her face.

"So, it was just a trickery?"

He smiles.

"I told you. People lose their mind when they're threatened with what they have. When they think they've lost what they have."

Cold goosebumps smear beyond her skin as she astonishingly cackles into a smirk, attaining one from the other too as he gazes at her fondly. Both their gazes shifts to the smouldering gleam once again as it shone through the skylines, with satisfactory beams.
