The sky turned dark blue. Hyemi stared in the sky, "They've probably woken up." She looked toward Changmin. She assumed he was looking for somewhere to hide. Hyemi bent down and tied her boots somewhat tight but just enough for her feet to breathe.

Hyemi took out a flashlight. She had to find Haknyeon and Miyeong before anybody else got to them. Without Changmin noticing, she sneaked away. Trusting a man like him was too hard for her.

Suddenly, there was a stench. The odor came from one of the houses smelling like iron and blood. She opened the broken door only to reveal Sunwoo's corpse. Holding in the disgust, she looked for a towel. She found a cloth and rested it over Sunwoo's body.

A puddle of blood rested on the wooden planks but so did a soaked cloth. Hyemi looked closer. Although it was covered with Sunwoo's blood, she could tell it was Miyeong's clothing. Judging by his skin color, he died a few hours ago.

Hyemi gulped the lump in her throat and bowed respectfully to Sunwoo. "Thank you." She lastly said before leaving.

A silhouette in the dark was visible. Hyemi's eyes widened and took the gun in her pocket. She held it up, leaving her index finger on the trigger.

"Hyemi?" She heard a familiar voice. It was Haknyeon.

She sighed in relief and walked toward him. "Did you find it?" Haknyeon nodded and handed her a box of poisons.

"Are you planning to kill them..?" Haknyeon asked softly. Though he disliked them, he didn't want them to die.

Hyemi sighed and looked at the poison. "Do you know how I got this poison?" Haknyeon raised a brow.

"It was in my father's safe. I like to believe he didn't want to kill me as a child but everything on his desk was a plan to kill my mother and me." Hyemi placed the poison back in the box.

"Sometimes you have to kill the people you love to protect yourself." She said before closing the box.

"So you're killing them.."

"Depends. I'm not trying to be remembered as a serial killer," she chuckled. "I only got away with the trial before because I was young and there wasn't enough evidence."

"My lawyer told me to not end up in jail and kill others. Maybe he'd see me now that I'm older knowing I'm going to kill a few men." Hyemi sighed. "In simplier words, no I won't kill them. Maybe I will kill Sangyeon but that is all unless they want to challenge me."
