YEONJUN was sitting in his car, listening to the radio—trying his best to find Spider-Kid in the streets. She left so abruptly, the officer didn't have any time to ask her any questions.

Some time ago—when they were still in the mysterious woods—Yeonjun's co-worker called and said how a high-school student: Hwang Hyunjin was missing. It seems like Spider-Kid also found out about that and told the chief to drive to Seoul. It was all so confusing and scary, the black haired man was clenching his jaw from so much uncertainty. It was no wonder that those black clothed men—that Spider-Kid calls vultures for some reason—were behind these dangerous schemes. Yeonjun sighed and leaned his forehead against the wheel, thinking back to every bit of information he and his acquaintances gained from so much research. Soobin, Taehyun, Kai and Beomgyu were all trying their best to investigate every corner of the city. They also checked the same cave—but since Spider-Kid and Yeonjun were the ones to be hanging—literally—there, they knew more. The chief asked Beomgyu to find anything he could about the venom and the younger agreed. Spider-Kid would find Hyunjin in no time—Yeonjun knew that—however, he had to put in as much effort as he could.

"Meow~," The chief's eye twitched, looking at the cat sitting in his passenger seat. It was looking at the black haired expectedly, swishing its tail. Yeonjun stared at it for some time and sighed, raising his hand and scratching its chin.







Meanwhile, Haerin was running through a sewer, trying her best to find Hyunjin. Her feet were sliding against the disgusting liquid, making her rethink her life choices. How did this start and why is it so dangerous now? The feline shook her head and gritted her teeth—she would find the athlete bo matter what. Concerning facts invaded in Haerin's mind, her confident facade was slowly crumbling underneath her shaking legs. She gulped and looked around, trying to see or hear anything that would hint to the boy's disappearance. It was all so weird and unsettling, Haerin didn't have a good gut feeling about any of this.

She finally saw a space with some lights illuminating near it. The feline's brows furrowed and she slowly approached that place, her breathing erratic and orbs shaking from what she might see.

"Stop moving around!," A voice made Haerin falter, so she stood in the corner, peeking inside and widening at her eyes from the scene in front of her. Hyunjin was being held hostage, his shirt was taken off—the only thing seen was a growing gray spot, which was gradually increasing—seen by the cat's naked eye. "You're making this worse for yourself." One of the vultures whispered loudly enough for the hero to hear.

The athlete had a tape on his mouth, his wrists and legs were restricted. Hyunjin's eyes were glistening with tears, he had a red nose and the gloomy atmosphere didn't help the guilt slowly eating Haerin alive.

The black haired boy was trying to say something, but his voice came out muffled. "Shut up! I told you, stop fighting against it."

Fighting against what? Haerin narrowed her eyes and that's when she realized what was going on.
