1. The murderer is unknown and according the Seokjin, there are no clues to finding him or her.

2. Sunwoo was murdered at 11:59 pm on June 4 and according to police reports and wreckage, the house was set on fire.

3. There are no suspects as of now since Sunwoo didn't have many enemies.

4. We know for certain Sunwoo's death was not suicide and the scars on his arm were not made by him.

5. Sunwoo does not remember anything about his killer but remembers all the events that played right before his death.

6. Sunwoo is a spirit/ghost and Ashlyn can see him and no one else can, including The Boyz. Whether the murderer can see Sunwoo or can't, is a mystery.

"What else?" I asked, pulling the marker away from the board and flexing my wrist.

Sunwoo bit his plump red lips, deep in thought, while I reviewed what I remembered from the day Sunwoo had died.

"I am 19 despite the fact I d...died when I was 16." Sunwoo said, stuttering over the word 'died'.

I wrote that on the board before sighing.

When Sunwoo had woken up in a burnt out house with no traces of marks or bruises on his body, he had no idea he was dead. He never saw his body being taken away because he had woken up in the morning on June 5th, leaving him to wander out of the house without the knowledge of no one being able to see him.

"I realized I wasn't a human anymore when I walked through a person." Sunwoo had explained to me.

"I yelled out loud and no one heard me. I started running around all the streets I could remember and I went to every single person I knew, including The Boyz." Sunwoo swallowed and I noticed the corner of his eyes tearing up.

"They couldn't see me or hear me and it broke my heart."

I felt myself become sadder and sadder as Sunwoo had explained his story, reminding me of how I had ignored him myself when I first saw his figure.

I regret doing that.

"Do you remember anything from that day?" Sunwoo asked me.

I looked up, my thought not in my mind anymore as I watched Sunwoo's careful eyes scan my face.

"Actually, we can go downstairs to the security guard and ask him to give us footage of the night you died. We can see what time you left my house after dropping me." I said.

Sunwoo's eyes lit up and he quickly nodded, standing up and holding his arm out to me before realizing he couldn't touch me and retrieving it back.

"Oops, I forgot haha." he chuckled awkward.

I giggled before standing up and walking out of the apartment.

We both headed downstairs choosing not to take the elevator but then, I caught sight of Kevin walking up the stairs.

"Oh Ashlyn! Hey!" he gave me a warm smile at the sight of me.

Sunwoo froze up next to me but relaxed at once when Kevin paid no attention whatsoever to the ghost.

Sunwoo just gave me a thumbs up before continuing to walk downstairs, leaving me alone with my best friend.

"Hi Kevin." I said, returning the warm smile he had given me.

"Where you going?" he asked.

I bit my lip, for some reason not wanting to tell Kevin what I was trying to do.

"Just going out for a walk. Where are you coming from?" I quick fired a question.

"I was over at Jacob's house last night so I was coming back from a sleepover." he said, letting out a light laugh.

"Oh nice, see you later then." I waved and Kevin smiled again before leaving.

As I continued downstairs, I missed his curious look towards me before he continued to his house.

Catching up to Sunwoo, I called out his name before quickly placing my hand on my mouth, remembering how people would probably think I'm crazy if I was yelling the name of a dead man.

Sunwoo laughed at my face expression while I rubbed the back of my neck, shrugging sheepishly. After the moment passed, we were both standing in front of the security guards desk.

"Excuse me?" I asked, a little timidly.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" The man asked, not really looking at me.

"I need security footage from June 4th, 3 years ago." I said as confidently as I could.

The man looked away from the phone he had been looking into and glanced towards me. Seeing only a teenage girl standing there, he scoffed before shaking his head.

"I was hired recently so I don't have access to those sort of things." he replied and then looked at his phone again.

"Do you know who was on duty that night?" I asked, refusing to leave without that footage.

"No. I'm a new guy!" He exclaimed, finally dropping his phone and glaring at me.

"Jeez fine." I replied, rolling my eyes before walking outside, Sunwoo following closely behind.

"Where are we going?" he asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Police station. They should have the footage." I replied.

I called a taxi and we got on it, heading towards the station.

"How do you know they will give it to you?" Sunwoo asked once we were seated.

"Seokjin-" I stopped talking when I noticed the driver look up frantically.

Rolling my eyes again, I pulled out my phone and held it against my ear, pretending I was talking to someone on it. The driver sighed in relief before looking back at the road.

"Seokjin is there and he will listen to me when I ask him." I replied.

Sunwoo nodded and I put my phone away, noticing this conversation was coming to an end. We sat in silence and before 10 minutes had passed, we were at the station.

"Ms. Lee! I didn't know you had an appointment today?" the same woman from last time exclaimed at the sight of me before grabbing a paper and checking it for my name.

"I don't have an appointment today but I need to see Detective Kim." I said, crossing my arms.

"I'm sorry but-" the woman was cut off by someone's voice. 

"Let her in!" Seokjin yelled from the other side of the room. 

"O...Oh okay!" The woman stuttered before writing something on the paper and pushing me towards Seokjin's office. 

"You know the way." she said to me before rushing of to another person who had entered the station. 

I shrugged before walking into the office, beckoning SUnwoo to follow me. Once I was inside, I took a seat on the chair while Sunwoo walked behind Seokjin and leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. 

"What can I do for you?" Seokjin asked, causing me to look away from Sunwoo. 

"Oh right." I said before sighing. 

"I need some footage of the night Sunwoo died."
