~ HANBIN POV ~

I pull up in front of a usual looking house. Is this where Min Hyo is?

The wind is very cold as I open the door and climb out. I told Chanwoo to get me a thick coat, but he only got me a thin jumper. Aish ...

As I get closer to the house, it does seem sort of creepy, as if it's hiding a secret. 

"Yes, this definitely is the house. Definitely." I talk myself into believing it.

The house groans as the winds hits it in a gust, and I lose my footing and almost fall over, but grip onto the letterbox. The box is made of rusty metal and it also moans and I put my weight on it, precariously leaning over. I slide my hand over the top of it; propping myself up to begin walking again when a stinging sensation hits my palm.

I lift my hand to my face and look closely. A small bead of blood makes it's way down my wrist. I put my tongue to it and taste that strange metallic taste of blood. 

Something catches my eye in the window of the house ... almost a silhouette of a person ...

I begin walking up to the house again, straining against the wind. I reach the door and knock my knuckles against the wood.

No reply.

I knock again, this time harder and more forced. I know they're in there! I saw them!

Again, no reply.

"Ya, I know you're in there! I just saw you!" I yell, knocking angrily on the door. "If you don't come out this moment - I'm calling the police!"

The door opens and I fall forward and glance up to see the one and only Hyuk standing over me.

"Hello." He says quietly, smiling. "I've been expecting you."
