"Gahhh why are these branches so pokey!" Minseo complained in frustration as she and Seokjin trod through Greyhound Oaks.

The night breeze caressed Minseo's skin that was only covered by a thin satin blouse. Goosebumps crawled up her skinny arms and her body shivered, attacked by the cold sombre night's wind. As if on instinct, her palms immediately wrapped themselves around her forearms to shield her away from the icy night wind. But to no avail, her teeth still chattered and her body still shivered relentlessly.

Why is the night so cruel to his moonchildren?

They forgot to bring a torchlight so they were solely depending on the dim light emitted by the moon, causing Minseo to stumble and trip over a few rocks.

"Minseo-ah why are you so clumsy."

"Shut up, I wouldn't be here freezing if it weren't for you!"

"I would take of my sweater for you y'know, if I weren't dead."

"Well can you try?"

"Wait a sec," Seokjin removed his sweater and extended his hand, trying to pass it to Minseo. Minseo reached out her hand to grab the sweater but went right through it, as if it were thin air. Disappointment etched itself on her face.

"I'm not surprised. Even your sweater is a spirit."

"I'm sorry, let's just get to the tree as fast as we can so you can go home and shove your non-existent butt in the oven."

They strolled for another 5 minutes and were met with the tallest tree in Greyhound Oaks.

The Ghoul tree.

"My mother used to take me here to pray, believing spirits all stayed in this tree. Now I guess she'll come here to visit her apparent suicidal son instead." Seokjin said sadly, a solemn look appearing upon his perfectly-sculpted visage. He missed his family, his friends, and his heart yearned to be with them again. To make them smile.

Making others happy always makes me happy.

However, instead of making people happy, now he was the reason for their pain. His death has carved a significant scar in his parents' hearts, causing them to blame themselves for his death. For their negligence seems to be the apparent reason for his 'suicide'.

I'm sorry.

Tears welled in his eyes as his vision became blurry, a frown etched itself upon his beautiful visage, melancholy ever so prominent on his face. But that frown quickly turned into a serious stare as he knew there were more important matters here. He's had enough time to reminisce his loved ones, grieve and depress over his death already. Now is the time for revenge. whoever did this to him- no. them. Needs to be stopped.

Minseo broke the silence. "They said you hung yourself from the highest branch up there," she pointed to the tall branch that appeared to be bending a little, probably due to Seokjin's weight.

"Do you know how to climb a tree?" Seokjin asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Um no."

"Let's climb up there, get a rough idea of how my killer brought me up that high."

"Aren't you a ghost? You can just teleport there right?"

"Wouldn't be as fun. you're coming too by the way, don't worry i'll make sure you won't fall."

"You're a ghost. I can't even touch your hand!" Minseo exclaimed with a horrid expression. This girl wasn't a daredevil, there was no way she'd ever do something this risky.

"I'll guide you then. It's easy don't worry."

"And what if i fall off huh?"

"Then you'll be like me."
