Haneul

I slept absolutely late because I wasn't able to keep my head clear from my thoughts. It was already morning when I finally drifted off to sleep.

I was just deeply concerned of how today would go. Especially if we were to successfully drive Wonho away.

I sat up straight on my bed and looked at the clock right beside me. It marked 3pm. I've overslept and missed out a lot.

Taking my phone, I proceeded to call Kihyun to check up on him.

"Hello, Eul-ah? I've been waiting for you to call me since this morning. How have you been?" He asked.

"I'm sorry, I overslept. I'm all fine now, but how's the plan anyway?" I asked.

"I got the exact details to where his body is buried. Quite a bit far indeed but I'm coming over there." He informed.

"Thank you so much. Can I come with you, though? I'm really worried." I said.

"You don't have to. Just carry on with meeting Wonho. We only got one shot at this. If ever anything happens to you, just contact me." He assured.

"But what about you? Please make sure you'll get there safe."

"I will." He spoke before hanging up the phone.

I sat still and looked at the time. In order to be sure, I needed to give Kihyun allowance to get to the place. I deeply breathed out and started dialling Hyungwon's phone number which I knew was with Wonho.

"Hello? Why are you calling Haneul-ah?" He asked with Hyungwon's voice.

"Won- I mean, Hyungwon-ah, could you please tell Wonho to meet me up later? I woke up quite late and I don't see any signs of him around the neighborhood. I'd like to have a house date with him.. particularly in your body, if you'd allow?" I spoke, almost messing up a little bit.

"... Why sure. I don't see any problem with that at all." He spoke with a hint of delight in his voice.

"Thanks. I'll be meeting Wonho around 6pm. You need to give me some time to get ready and to fix the house a bit." I said.

"Alright, see you." He immediately slipped.

"Hm?" I accidentally hummed loud enough for him to hear.

"Well, I mean Wonho would see you later, and so will my body. So, see you." He rebounded.

"Sure. See you both then." I said as I then turned the call off.

Kihyun

I parked my car seeing that I have arrived at the destination. The place was wide and vast, several tombs scattered everywhere. It was noticeably old and the place had a gloomy atmosphere.

Without wasting time, I began my search of looking for Wonho's tomb.

I walked around trying to read every name written, trying not to miss a single thing. However, I looked ahead and saw that it was going to be tough work.

"I should've brought someone with me, this is actually tough." I started to feel the pressure.

As I began to start searching once again, I suddenly heard the sound of a car arriving. I froze and looked ahead, trying to see who it may be. The person stopped the car and came out, hurriedly then approaching my direction.

"Wait... Lee Jooheon?" I whispered to myself.

He ran fast towards me, looking as if he was up for something urgent until he finally stopped right infront as we were now facing each other.

"Yoo Kihyun, is it?" He asked me.

"Yes. What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Look, I followed you around when I saw you in your car. I was just about to come here too because of what you have brought up about Wonho. However, I was close to backing out. But then I saw you, and I knew you were headed to this direction." He explained.

"I see... Since you are here anyways, would you like to let me know where his tomb is?" I asked.

"Surely. I brought these, too." He took something out of his pocket and showed it to me.

"Is that... holy water and a book of prayers?" I asked, frowning a little bit.

"Come on, it may help. You're dealing with spiritual matters anyway. I'm active in my church and Wonho knows it. I may be able to ask his soul to go to peace. As his friend." He raised his eyebrows and spoke eagerly.

"If you say so. Let's go, we don't have much time." I gave him a nod and started walking ahead.

The clock marked 6pm, and I have already groomed myself up to be presentable towards Wonho. I looked at myself in the mirror and slowly let out a deep sigh.

I walked out to the kitchen to get the popcorn I had prepared for the two of us. As I was placing it onto another bowl, I felt a creepy presence lingering around my place. I mustered up the courage to slightly look behind me, both left and right, but there were no signs of any person being around.

Suddenly, my phone started ringing and so I rushed out of the kitchen to answer the call.

"Hello?" I asked, starting to feel a little sweaty from the chills I got because of the eerie feeling.

"I'm here." The caller responded.

"Hyungwon?" I asked, recognizing the familiar voice.

"It's Wonho." He answered.

"Oh.. that's great." I said, even if I was starting to feel anxious.

"Aren't you going to open the door for me?" He asked.

"Ah, hold on." I ended the call and headed out to the door.

Twisting the doorknob, I pulled the door which revealed Hyungwon's tall physique. Everything was him, except for the dark eyes which meant Wonho still held him captive.

Wonho gave me a smile, and went in for a hug which I hesitantly accepted.

"I prepared us some popcorn and chose a movie to watch already. Why don't you settle down on the couch first? I'll bring the popcorn to you." I said as I broke off the hug and eventually walked towards the kitchen.

I grabbed the bowl and suddenly felt my phone vibrating with a message.

I quickly checked to see, and it was from Kihyun himself.

"We still haven't found it, Eul-ah." The message read.

"Alright. I can spare you some more time. Wonho and I will be watching a movie. Stay safe and keep your guard up on it." I immediately texted my reply back.

Hurriedly, I shoved my phone in my pocket while walking towards Wonho who was carefully eyeing me. I sat beside him and grabbed the remote to control the volume of the television.

"What are we watching?" He asked.

"Romance.." I looked at his eyes.

"Don't you have horror?" He smirked.

I looked at him, feeling my expressions getting a bit down and unsure.

"I was just kidding you. I like the idea of you clinging on to me when you're scared." He smiled.

"Ah.. I guess I'll play this movie now then." I faked a smile back, trying to conceal the fact that I was uneasy.

Kihyun

"I found it!" Jooheon started exclaiming.

"Yoo Kihyun! Come beside me!" He called out.

I hurriedly rushed towards Jooheon, ready to see the proof of Wonho's death.

There it truly is, where Wonho's body lies.

I looked at Jooheon as he was starting to recall painful memories of his loss for Wonho. There was a visible frown on his face, and so I decided to keep silent to let him have his moment to talk to Wonho in peace.

As we were watching the movie, it felt as if only 40 minutes had passed. I wasn't able to concentrate, knowing that a lot of things were running down my mind. I tried to mentally shake them off to become conscious of the present again. I had to do well and give Kihyun more time.

However, I began to feel Wonho staring at the side of my face. We were positioned close together, almost cuddling as he had his arm wrapped around me.

Slowly, I decided to look back at him to see if he was really looking indeed.

Eventually, I met his eyes.

"Why do you look at me like that? Weren't you paying attention to the movie?" I asked.

He kept silent, still gazing upon my face.

"... Why do you feel so distant to me even if we're close together?" He eventually spoke up.

I was surprised by the words he had said. I was searching my mind for words to answer him with, but he spoke a bit more.

"Haneul-ah. I love you. I want to be with you... forever." He spoke slowly, meaning every word he had said.

He then looked at me, as if expecting me to return the words he spoke.

However, things happened fast and before I could even make myself say the words he had been wanting to hear, Wonho quickly went in for a kiss.

I remained frozen, knowing that it physically was Hyungwon's lips on mine. It was the only thought I had in mind, and at that moment, I was wishing it was truly him. Wonho and I continued to share a deep kiss as he was leading me on and had his gentle hands cupping my face.

But suddenly, Wonho slowly broke apart from me as if in realization.

I looked at every feature on his face, wondering what was wrong. And there, I got my answer. Upon noticing one important detail, I felt great shock as I have immediately noticed the change in his eyes.

And at that moment, finally, I knew it was Hyungwon.

"Chae Hyungwon!" I called his name.

He still held onto my face, as our eyes were now looking at each other. I felt the connection with him, as it was truly him I was hoping for. At that moment, a tear escaped his eye.

Without having to do anything yet, I unlocked the mystery to getting Hyungwon back, and successfully destroyed Wonho's plan of claiming his body completely. He was not able to make it to five complete days.

However, something was not over just yet as I had noticed something right behind Hyungwon.

I slowly looked behind him, and there...

I found Wonho in rage.
