Although the door was fully closed, Momo couldn't shake off the cold current of air that seemed to follow her while she cooked, cleaned, danced, and even showered. She felt eyes on her while she was doing the most basic tasks, and when she didn't sense someone (something..?) watching her, something similar to the shattering bulb happened- a tap ran boiling hot, the fuses all blew at once- she couldn't figure out what was happening.

Momo never believed in ghosts. Her life in Japan was very boring, and it stayed that way when she moved to Korea too. She lived in small apartments for most of her independent and adult life while her current home was her first whole house- a whole haunted house, that is.

Jihyo didn't die there. She actually doesn't have a clue why she ended up with Momo. She felt an energy; it pushed her further and further away like 2 batteries when turned around appropriately- 2 negatives. Although she was being repelled and travelling got more and more difficult the closer she got, Jihyo persisted. She travelled until she couldn't go on- the repelling energy forcing her to not only stop, but to start travelling backwards and away from the power source.
Suddenly though, after a while, the repulsion stopped. She could go as close as she wanted to the house that she found to be the cause of all the push-backs. As Jihyo did finally get closer to the house, she found a van. And boxes. And people. And a very special Hirai Momo.

From day 1 Jihyo wanted to enter the house and see what drew her to it after a while- it was like the power pushed her away to a certain point before drawing her to it... Like proving she wanted it enough to endure the harsh pushing and shoving and resisting just to find what was pushing. She never found out what pushed her away. But she discovered that Momo pulled her in.

The breeze pushed over the Japanese girl as the blanket got slightly blown up.
Jihyo was once again in Momo's arms.

They layed for a while and Momo fell asleep while Jihyo played with the buttons on the remote. A sudden and loud noise from the TV blared out a woke Momo up from her sleep with a jump as Jihyo accidentally pressed onto the infomercial channel.
"What the fuck?!!" Momo screamed and called Sana.
"Sana... Sana I have a ghost."
"I told you there was something wrong with your house. What's their name?"
"How in the fuck would I know? I don't want to know!"
"Ugh I'll be over later."

"Coming!" Momo ran to the door and opened it, Sana lifting up to present the box she brought.

"No. I'm not doing that."
"Come onnnn..." Sana teased, carefully shaking the board intriguingly, "Don't you wanna know more?"
