"I'm lost. I don't know what's going on anymore," Hoseok blurted out, hugging his own knees in horror.

"I think... we're all barking at the wrong tree. We've been so caught up by saving our own skin and was too scared to even find out what truly happened." Taehyung commented, hands placed under his chin, going through his laptop.

"What truth are you talking about? We tried. We searched the internet, past documents and even went to the library in case they published about it on a book but nothing about Janice Zamora." Yoongi gritted his teeth. The lights flickered a bit at the mention of the girl's name.

"She must've killed all of the authors who wrote about her and took down all of the articles to erase her existence." Jin cluck his tongue, shaking his head. "She may be a little girl but she's really smart and unfortunately, a psycho."

"Yes nothing about Janice but what about her family? The Zamora had quite the reputation back in the past century. Surely, there must be something written about them in here..."

"We also checked that before, still nothing. There's nothing on the internet about the Zamora family. I guess they figured out what horror shits happen to you when you know about their family and decided it was best to not post anything on the net." Yoongi shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know if this will help but earlier at their mansion, I found this lying on the living room. I figured it might be something important so I took it." Hoseok spoke, retrieving a old newspaper from his bag before handing it to Namjoon. Namjoon scanned the paper and blinked, "Here's the only source saying about the Zamora family! If we get lucky, this might be a step closer to the truth, nice job Hoseok."

"Well what does it say?" Jimin softly asked.

"The Zamora earns unbelievable fortune after first born child. Their business have gone way more successful than those of their ancestors. It is said that their first born child is their very own lucky charm. Lucy Zamora and Ryan Zamora had started their business in South Korea and it spread throughout in every country."

Jungkook spoke, "Ryan? Is Ryan the father of Janice? Then how come he isn't on the photo from before?"

"I don't know but doesn't it seem weird?" Taehyung raised an eye brow.

"Listen to this," Namjoon gulped. "The Zamora's business continued to grow until January 23, 1860, Ryan Zamora mysteriously disappeared, two years after he was wed to Lucy."

"He disappeared, like vanished to thin air?" Jimin widen his eyes. "That can't be possible right?"

"If you don't believe that then you will probably won't believe this either. Apparently, not only Ryan had mysteriously disappeared. All of the past Zamora family history, their husbands went missing two years after their wedding date."

"So, every Zamora who was wed had their husbands disappear two years later. Wait, why husbands only?"

Namjoon looked at his friends in horror after reading which made Hoseok more anxious regretting that he asked. "Guys... The Zamora family had a rule that they followed for generations, and that is to give birth to one child, a daughter."

"That's one weird rule don't you think?" Yoongi scoffed, hands running over his hair. "This Zamora family is one messed up shit."

"Wouldn't that be genetically impossible? Like, you can't choose the gender of your child, that's absurd!" Jin shouts frustratedly. "What would happen if they had a son?"
