"What? are you crazy? No way in hell are we going in there!" Handong exclaimed.

"Come on guys, it's just an old house." Sua rolled her eyes. "Tell you what, if one of you go in, I'll buy that person anything they want." She grinned widely. The other four other girls looked at each other, giving looks. Then, the eldest finally sighed in defeat. "I'll do it." she said.

"Unnie?" Dami shot her a look.

"Splendid! Now, what do you want?" Sua clinged her arm around the girl with a smile on her face.

"A light pink beret." The brown haired girl smirked.

The individual sighed. "Should've seen that coming." she said. "Here's a flashlight." Sua said and pushed her away from the road. "Now, don't die okay?"

"Gee, I sure hope not." Jiu rolled her eyes.

"Oh, and stay calm. They say the ghost can sense fear."

Jiu glared at her before walking off towards the house. The presence of the old building gave her chills, or maybe that was just the cold breeze hitting her. The girl wore a light pink sweater, jeans and round glasses. She thought that since it wasn't the cold seasons it wouldn't be cold outside, but for some strange reason that place was freezing.

The girl quickly ran into the house, due to the fact that she might die of coldness if she stays out. She slammed the door shut, stopping any wind from coming inside and sighed in relief. Then, her eyes was focused on inside the house. It was dark, and old. They really let the place go, but for some reason she felt like she has seen this place somewhere before. She crept into the house as quiet as she could, she felt the halls trapping her in and she could almost feel the people's eyes following her from paintings, but it wasn't as big of the deal as the horrid smell.

Follow the red trail, Jiu. She thought to herself. An old, dried blood trail that strangely lasted for so long despite the year of the girl's death. She shines her flashlight towards it, and shining it to the things around her from time to time. Then finally, she reached a room. A bedroom, the walls were grey and dirty, some of the pictures have aged away, and here was only a single bed on the room, with roses and vines if thorns on them which grew probably from the age, a gold mirror, with some toys and a wardrobe. Then, the bunny, sitting at the middle of the bed.

Jiu swiftly grabbed it, holding it in her hands and observing it closely. "That wasn't so hard." She said to herself.

Suddenly, the door slammed shut, JiU quickly turned around, alarmed, to see a girl. A dark aura was surrounding her as she walked closer. Her eyes seemed as if they could pierce into your soul, it was light blue and it almost seemed like a cat's eye. She wore a white dress, it seemed old, and plain. Her hair black and loose, but had a small braid surrounding it like a crown.

JiU walked back to the bed, hugging the bunny tightly, shutting her eyes close and accidentally dropping the flashlight. The girl came closer, and closer. To the point where she was leaning to JiU.

"Don't touch him." The words were deep and serious.

Jiu dropped the bunny, then and there, and the ghost pulled back. The ghost didn't really stare at the girl. Her eyes were more focused on the bunny. The girl grabbed the bunny from the group and caressed it's head gently.

"W-Who are you?" Jiu stuttered while asking.

Then, the girl looked at her. Jiu hugged herself with her eyes closed when she saw the girl's eyes.

"You..." She tilted her head. "Have we met before?"

Then Jiu opened her eyes, furrowing her eyebrows at the ghost. "N-No."

"Minji...?" She said softly. Too softly. The girl's eyes softened, and the piercing blue slowly faded to a beautiful ocean color as the dark clouds around her disappeared and her feet was finally touching the ground.

"M-Minji?" Jiu stuttered and stared at her in confusion.

"Y-You're back!" The girl had a small smile on her face, as tears formed in her eyes. "Minji!" The girl's arms wrapped around Jiu tightly as tears dropped down her chin. "I've missed you."

Jiu froze. She could not think properly. She had no idea what to do. Then, the girls eyes shot open again, and immediately let go. "You... You can't stay here!" She yelled. "Please, go. Before he comes!"

"H-He?"

"Go!" The ghost yelled again, then the old lights in the room flickered, and everything shook. Jiu ran out of the room as fast as she could, forgetting completely about the rabbit. The brown-haired girl ran out the door and gate, to see her friends staring at her in shock and confusion, then she collapsed in their arms.
