~After the interview.

It was dark outside and was starting to get late.

Eunho: Thank you Seojin.

Seojin: Of course, anything to help you guys find the murder as soon as possible.

Eunho: Oh, that, right.
(He said as he stood up and walked towards his desk.)

Eunho grabbed a folder out of his drawer. And walked back to sit down next to Seojin.

Eunho: You asked about who our suspects were, do you know anything about our top three suspects and their relationships with your grandma?
(He asked taking out three pictures of three different people.)

Seojin looked at each of them. Then she slowly picked up photo by photo to see it up close. The first one was a picture of one of her grandmothers friend. Seojin remembered she would always come over and they would always drink tea and then leave to go to a street flea market together. Seojin knew it wasn't her, because she was the kindest granny ever, and she could tell by the way she acted towards Seojin and her grandmother.

The next photo was a picture of a man. Seojin was confused because she had never seen him before, and she didn't know what is relationship with her grandma was. Then it clicked, he was the man that her grandmother had been seeing. He loved Seojin's grandmother more than her actual grandfather, and he accepted her grandmother even after learning their history.

The last photo was a picture of a young lady, who was her 'aunt'. Seojin was confused and shocked of why her aunt would even be a suspect. She was never close to her aunt since she would always see her grandmother pitying her. And she was the one who stole her grandfather from her grandmother. Then it all clicked in her head. She held onto the picture so tight, that there were some crumble marks.

All of a sudden her head started to hurt! Seojin dropped the picture and pressed onto her head. The pain was so painful, that she didn't even notice the tears in her eyes.

Eunho was so shocked, he quickly ran towards Seojin, with eyes wide opened.

Eunho: Seojin! Seojin! What's wrong?

Seojin couldn't hear anything else but the loud buzz in her head. It started hurting so much that Seojin started crying and screaming.

Eunho was so scared and shocked that he quickly picked up his phone from the table and called for emergency down stairs. Since there was a hospital connected to their department.

Eunho tried to calm Seojin down, but she couldn't hear anything or control her own body at this point. As Eunho stood up to get a wheelchair he had in the corner of his room, he heard Seojin say something.

Seojin: Witch... Witch... Leave me ALONE!
(Then she collapsed onto the couch.)

Eunho quickly ran over and shook Seojin.

Eunho: Seojin! Seojin!

The doctor walked out of the room Seojin was currently laying in, still unconscious. Eunho quickly stood up and walked towards the doctor.

Eunho: Is she alright?

Doctor: She just needs some sleep. Do you know Seojin's history?

Eunho: No, she is just one of my patients.

Doctor: It seems like she had damaged her brain before, causing memory loss. And so the reaction you saw earlier was her memories all coming back at the same time, it was too much for her brain to handle, which is why she passed out. That may have happened due to a car accident. And why she was acting the way she did was because a memory of something she doesn't want to remember came back. 

Eunho: Thank you, doctor.
(He thanked, bowing, as the doctor walked away.)

Eunho slowly opened the door to see Seojin laying there. He approached her and sat down on a chair next to her bed. Eunho saw her phone on the table next to the bed. He picked it up, her lock screen was a picture of her and her grandmother. The only way to unlock it was her fingerprint. He gently lifted her thumb and placed it on the phone, the phone unlocked.

Eunho went to her contacts. There were only three people on her contacts. They were Grandma, Eunha, and Taemin. Eunho obviously couldn't call her grandmother so he called the other two.

About 10 minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Eunho stood up and looked at the door. The door slowly opened to reveal a tall masculine man with broad shoulders. Which was TAEMIN!

Taemin quickly ran over to Seojin. Then he looked at Eunho. Taemin bowed to Eunho, and Eunho bowed back.

Taemin: What happened?
(He asked as tears were already forming in his eyes.)

***

Taemin and Eunho went downstairs to get some coffee and to talk.

Taemin: What did they say about her condition?

Eunho: The doctor said that Seojin had already had previous brain damage, causing her to have memory loss and to pass out.

Taemin bit his thumb nail, thinking hard and trying to process everything.

Eunho: Do you know anything about Seojin's past?

Taemin looked up at Eunho. He hesitated for a moment.

Taemin: I remember Seojin getting in a car accident not too long ago. It was when she was taking her grandmother somewhere out of town.

~Flashback of what happened during that night.

Seojin was driving her grandmother to Busan, where they had placed her parents. (They currently live in Daegu). It was her parents two year death anniversary.

On that night, it was a cold and rainy night in mid-spring. No matter the weather, Seojin and her grandmother never missed going to greet her parents.

As Seojin was driving up the mountain hill, a fast car coming from behind started speeding up and hit Seojin's car from behind. Pushing her ALMOST off the edge of the mountain. Seojin stepped on the brake quick enough before they fell. Hitting her head on the steering wheel. Trying to catch her breath. She then turned to look over at her grandmother. Her grandma was laying there on the passenger seat, blood dripping down the side of her face.

Seojin: Grandma!
(She yelled, not having much strength.)

Seojin used all her might to take off her seatbelt. Her right arm was reaching for her grandmothers face, but it was too far away. As Seojin was so close to touching her, all her strength was gone. Her arm dropped down between her and her grandmother. Seojin didn't realize this, but a tear rolled down her eye as they closed.

Seojin's POV:

"Is this really how I'm going to die?"

"Everyday I've wanted to die, but I'm scared. I want to live."
