Jin Ae thanked the members for the ride and made her way back home. She felt tired and drained out after having those flashes whose meaning she still couldn't decipher.

Not wanting to break her head on it any further, Jin Ae directly went and plopped on her bed. Within no time she drifted to sleep with the exhaustion helping her with it.

It had been 2 whole days since Jin Ae had last been summoned anywhere. She hoped today to be another one of those days, but sadly it wasn't. She was back on her job.

She was now summoned into a busy suburb street. The traffic was buzzing and so were the people. If her memory served her right, this was Gangam. She walked around the place waiting for the soul to find her but suddenly all of this felt too familiar.

A car, A convenience store and a lady in her forties.

!

Jin Ae cursed internally. This couldn't be happening,this wasn't right. She was finally feeling comfortable with her abilities and then suddenly someone decided to drop this bomb on her. It was as if she was in a stupid video game and just had leveled up. She could now have a glance at the future events.

Quickly concentrating back on the task in hand, Jin Ae tried her best to recall her flashes but to her displeasure there wasn't any clues that would further help her. All she saw was a car , convenience store and a lady nothing more, nothing less. She was now supposed to connect the missing dots but how?

Was the lady going to get into the taxi and have an accident?

Was the taxi driver destined to die and not the lady?

What was the purpose of the convenience store in her flash?

 

Several thoughts popped into her head like the annoying notifications on a cell phone.

"What in the world do you want me to do!?" - Jin Ae yelled at the sky in exasperation and right at that moment the lady got into the convenience store while the taxi halted at the side. The driver kept the engine running and got out of the taxi making his way towards the convenience store, his hands hiding something beneath the shirt.

"He is going to kill her, isn't he?" - Jin Ae questioned herself before running towards the convenience store hoping to change the destiny written for the poor souls but sadly she was too late. The bullet had already passed through the lady's head. The taxi driver shot her at point blank range before running away leaving the lady to drown in her own pool of blood.

 

"I knew my time had come." - the lady's soul replied standing behind Jin Ae looking at her own lifeless body.

"Oh my god, you scared me!" - Jin Ae yelped at the cold contact with the soul.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you." - the lady cooed, the grace with which she spoke reminded Jin Ae of those high society women who always moved with elegance and sophistication, never committing a single error.

"Did you know him?" - Jin Ae turned to face the lady whose forehead had a small hole on it from which blood kept oozing out covering her white mid length dress,red.

"Yes" - the lady replied with a weak smile - "I was just thinking how long I had until he found me."

"Why!?"  - Jin Ae questioned, baffled that the lady already knew her killer but didn't do anything about it.

"I'm the reason his 3 year old daughter is dead. I killed her and fled from the scene." - the lady explained.

"You killed his daughter?" - Jin Ae stumbled over her words, fear crept inside her at thought of standing beside a killer.

"It wasn't intentional" - the lady commented when she saw Jin Ae take a step away from her - " I had a bad fight with my husband and was driving rashly through the street when that little girl came out of no where and  hit my car. I panicked at the sight of blood on the road and fled from there but her father had already noted my car plate number. He lost his daughter few days later. I tried to compensate his loss with money which was foolish of me but that was all I could do at that moment but sadly that flared him more. He put a case on me but you know, no one wins against the powerful people of the society. I had all the evidence against me deleted and just like that I won the case. Few days later I started receiving death threats and obliviously I knew it was him but I didn't do anything about it because I knew I hadn't played fair and maybe I deserved whatever was coming to me." - the lady explained her whole situation to Jin Ae who had mixed reaction on the story but decided to keep her opinion to herself.

"So tell me, what is the thing you want me to do for you?"- Jin Ae questioned, getting down to her business straight away.

"I want you to hand in all the documents and evidence I had hidden back to the man. I want him to reopen the case." - the lady confessed.

"But you do know that it's of no use now. He is probably going to prison on the charges of murdering you." - Jin Ae said with a confused expression.

"At least his sentence will get reduced if the jury gets to know his intention of murdering me." - the lady argued and surprisingly keeping aside all the bull she did, this thing did make sense.

"Alright then." - Jin Ae extended her hand to seal the deal but instead of a purple light been emitted at the contact of the two hands, there was a green light and in a split second Jin Ae was back in her room lying on the bed, her eyes wide open, wondering what just happened. She quickly examined her wrist for the symbol that used to be imprinted there after every deal but there was none.

She quickly got up from her bed in search of the lady who just died.<

Chapter 31: Jeo Sung is so shady and always give me wrong impression most of the time. For an odd reason, I am seeing him in inhuman way like he is dangerous to be around her and he's using her for her own benefit. Jeosung is a complicated character tbh.

Chapter 31: * stares at all the new twists and turns with wide open eyes O_o*

Hmm...one thing for sure, Jeo Seung is definitely not a MORTAL!
All the ghosts bow down to him?
Who is he or What is he??? @_@

I feel so bad for Jin Ae. She had a really terrible day. Although I don't totally trust Jeo Seung with her, I'm glad he was there for her at the end and that she let out all her emotions with him. I hope she feels better with time.

And whatever Jeo Seung said about the miracles, blessings and curses in disguise, he seemed to have a point in that.
But what did he mean when he said that he was with her since her father's death and will be, till her last breath?....it gives a shivering feeling to me.
Does he mean to be some guardian to watch her over..?

But again! Than he also warned her NOT to trust him or his words!
What is he exactly playing at.... @_@

And this new addition Keres! She seems like a intriguing character! She may feel like a kid, but does posses darkness. What does she want to possess Jin Ae's soul??
That too she called him brother and also spoke his uncertain death?
Now Jeo Seung's life is on the line??

Wow! This chapter has definitely plunged me into questions!! But I'm surely enjoying it! ^^
I like how you are showing more and more of Jeo Seung's character, but in a steady manner.
Also, the whole mention of miracles, devils and ghosts seem to really set the story in a good supernatural set! :D Well done!
THANKS A LOT FOR THE UPDATE AUTHOR-NIM!^_^
ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE LEFT ME WITH MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS I AM REALLY DIGGING FOR MORE! XD



I know the past couple of days have really been difficult for us...
It was a really unfortunate incident to occur and as you said, those particular words have certainly left a different imprint on our hearts.
Stay strong author-nim! And don't worry about the story. Take your time to get back in the form.

Chapter 31: Writing has been difficult for me this past week as well. SHINee was one of my first kpop groups because of the Boys Over Flowers ost and that drama had been my second kdrama. The group meant a lot to me. I'm not a huge fan of SM as a company but the artists under them were all my favorites so Jonghyun's passing has thrown me off balance for a lack of a better term. But I'm slowly feeling myself get back to normal, especially because I've been spending time with loved ones. I really loved this chapter especially because we learn more about Jeo Seung and the little girl who we now know is Keres. This is putting me on the edge of my seat!

U wrote the emotional paet so well. Kudos to you :')

Chapter 30: NOOO!!!NAMJOON!!!!
Get a grip on your thoughts!
Damn! He has given rise to so many MISUNDERSTANDINGS!!

Seriously, this was the most angst and dramatic chapter ever! Strangely....I like it..:P....

But it was heart-wrenching to see all of them getting hurt thought! T^T
Silly Namjoon! He has no idea about Jin Ae's and Yoongi's world, but instead comes up with such theories....even when she told him the truth...I was expecting him to blow-over like that!
Feel really bad for his heart though...he seems so ignorant of the truth and so broken now...
(I was clutching my hair at his assumptions>_<)

And poor Jin Ae, as if her life was not already messed up, now has to deal with these new chaos!
His words sure did seem like bullets ripping her apart from the inside...
And he didn't even here her confession!

While Yoongi is like always! Trying to hush his pain out even if he is dying from the inside in doing so.>_<
Although I'm glad he didn't say anything harsh to Namjoon in anger! He seemed to handle the situation well...
I hope things will turn around for him.....

And last but not the least..Jeo Seung has appeared! Wonder what he is up to with the other guy....:/

The feels of this chapter really got me though!! O_o
You really topped the drama author-nim!! Good Job! ^_^
I seriously would love such more drama from you....But right now, I so want the things to clear up between them!!
(But I'm ready for drama....:P)

Thanks for the update!!<3
