"This is so weird," Hobin muttered as he saw Jina roll on the floor all by herself, seemingly hitting something invisible. He could not see the spirits so he only saw Jina was fighting something invisible. Beside him the twins were also watching with curiosity.

"How long do you think it'll take sis to kick that poltergeist's ass?" Minyoon asked as they saw their sister being thrown against a wall.

"I'd say, ten minutes," Yoonmin replied when Jina landed a kick on the invisible entity. Or what looked like a kick.

"Do you think the poltergeist will throw her up and down like a yo-yo?" Hobin wondered as Jina threw the invisible entity against a shelf, causing it to knock over.

"Or like badminton?" Yoonmin suggested when the ghost pushed Jina on another shelf.

"Shouldn't we do something to help?" Minyoon wondered.

Jina punched the burnt poltergeist on the face which would have hurt any living person like a bitch.

"Nah, she's good," Hobin said.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STOOGES DOING?" she screamed. "GET RID OF THIS BITCH ALREADY!"

The three of them turned to Junho who was sitting on the floor, flipping through the pages of a book. He looked up when he felt their gazes on him and cleared his throat.

"Jina, can you keep her occupied for five more minutes?" he asked. "I need to draw a circle and a star before starting the ritual and burn the page in it-"

"DOES IT LOOK LIKE I HAVE FIVE MINUTES?" She shrieked, narrowly dodging a kick. She was bleeding from the lips and her eye was swollen as well.

"Well, you'll have to stall her," Junho muttered as he drew a small circle with a star in it. "Oi Yoonmin! Gimme the salt and the lighter."

"I'm Minyoon!" Minyoon frowned. He took out salt from the bag of supplies and gave it to the old man who took out a lighter and a few wooden sticks first. Junho lit the sticks on fire, creating a small bonfire to conduct the ritual.

The poltergeist saw what he was doing and was about to attack him but Jina jumped on her, punching her hard.

"Oi, doc and twins!" Junho yelled. "Don't just stand there! Help me read this text!"

"Didn't you bring your glasses?" Yoonmin scowled.

"I forgot!" Junho claimed. "How was I supposed to know that you'd get kidnapped by the ghost instead?"

"Why is this thing written in fancy calligraphy?" Hobin frowned. Behind them, Jina was still struggling with the poltergeist and cursing at them for the delay.

YOU JACKASSES-"

"You're doing great, sis!" Yoonmin said offhandedly, still trying to read the text. "Ancient scholars wrote this. What else did you expect? Printed copies?"

"Old people are weird," Minyoon muttered. "I think this says...Oh you who are harming humanity…"

"No, I think it says 'Oh you who are harming humans and humanity,'" Yoonmin claimed.

"That looks more like the word 'spirit' there," Hobin stated. "Oh you spirits who are harming humans and humanity…"

There was a murmur of agreement amongst them. Jina, already annoyed by their casualness, screamed.

HURRY UP!"

"Figured it out!" Hobin said, ignoring her. "Oh you spirits who are harming humans and humanity, I damn you to the depths of purgatory until your soul is purified and your legacy untarnished."

He handed the book back to Junho who nodded and began the spell. Rachel let out a scream, throwing Jina off guard but she managed to extract some salt from her pocket and threw it on the spirit's eye. The poltergeist yelped, temporarily blinded.

There was a movement on the ceiling and everyone looked up to see that the Song's were beginning to fall. The twins lunged forward as the couple fell on them.

"AHHHH!" Seohyun screamed as they fell.

"OUCH!" Both brothers yelled when Seohyun and Yohan fell on them, scared but unhurt.

Rachel was now standing up but Jina tightened her grip around the poltergeist's legs, not letting go. But Rachel was now dragging her body, enraged to see that her parents were alive. She was crawling forward to reach out to them but Junho had begun the ritual.

"Oh you spirits who are harming humans and humanity, I damn you to the depths of purgatory until your soul is purified and your legacy untarnished," he chanted, throwing peach powder into the fire. The fire was burning brightly, the flames turning into a dark reddish hue.

The twins managed to grab the couple and pulled them behind the flames but the poltergeist continued to approach them, dragging Jina behind her.

Hobin picked up a bit of salt and sprang forward. He threw salt at the spot where Jina was being dragged, managing to hit the poltergeist a few times.

"Oh you spirits who are harming humans and humanity, I damn you to the depths of purgatory until your soul is purified and your legacy untarnished," Junho continued to chant. "Oh you spirits who are harming humans and humanity, I damn you to the depths of purgatory until your soul is purified and your legacy untarnished."

Suddenly, the poltergeist was thrown aback. Jina yelped when Rachel was pulled from her grasp, getting kicked on the face in the process. Hobin was about to help her when something strange happened.

A sharp pain jabbed his head as if he was stabbed by a knife. He was finding it difficult to breathe and the air around him was suffocating him. The flames which burned behind him were hotter than usual and he clasped his heart as if trying to catch his breath. Jina, still reeling from the kick, noticed Hobin's strange behavior which went unnoticed by others.

Several images began to rush into Hobin's head and he closed his eyes. The figure of a small, scrawny boy was flashing in front of him. Hobin found himself staring at the boy who was staring back at him with his innocent eyes as if pleading.

A dark shadow was forming behind the boy, its raven-like wings spreading far and wide but the child did not seem to notice. Hobin knew who the boy was. He saw the boy in his dreams several times.

"Save her," the boy whispered. "Fulfill the promise you made…"

It all happened in the blink of an eye. Hobin felt as if he was about to fall back when a hand came out to grab him. He felt a soft touch on his palm, pulling him to safety.

But in an instant, a new image flashed into his mind. The face of that tiny girl with chocolate brown eyes and hair was now in front of him. Her beautiful eyes were flooding with tears as she looked at him.

"You're really bad," she sobbed. "Why would you want this? Why do you want to leave us?"

Leave? I don't want to leave. I want to return.

The words came into his mind before he could stop them. Why was he thinking like that? Where was he going? Where was he returning?

"I will return," he promised. "And when I do, I'll find you again. Until then, take care of yourself. Don't let the bad guys get to you. Study hard and become an amazing Lady Cop! And we'll meet again."

Am I saying them? Who is she? Why am I making this promise to her?

And why the hell is my heart aching in agony?

"No…" she whispered. "Don't go...Please…"

She wept but his cold hand reached out to wipe off her tears. He did not speak but kept on smiling until he vanished, leaving her completely alone.

….

"Hobin!" Jina's voice brought him back to the present. He slowly opened his eyes to see her only to find himself staring at the same set of chocolate colored eyes which he had been seeing in his dreams. Their hands were intertwined together. Hobin looked from their locked palms to her face which was full of worry for him.

Only seconds ago, he watched those eyes cry for him.

Jina had noticed that Hobin was acting a little strange and was about to fall back. She rushed to hold him and stop the fall. At that moment, he opened his eyes and it felt as if he was seeing her for the first time. A slow smile formed on his face.

"Found you…" he whispered.
