*Abandoned warehouse

Yerin woke up tied up on a chair in a room. She tries to free herself, but to no avail, she feels weak, like the rope that tied her up is absorbing all her strength. Suddenly, Joker comes out from the dark corner of the room

"so, our sleeping princess have already awaken? I begun to think i will have to get your prince charming, or princess charming to kiss you to wake you up" Joker says with a mocking tone

"Who are you? Are you Hwang heulin's henchman? Why am i here?" Yerin asks, annoyance is clearly show on her face

"whoah, calm down princess, one at a time, Let's just call me Joker, you already know that right?" Joker says

"for your other question, no, i am not his henchman, he doesn't even know that i exist, and i am here to wait for your girlfriend to show up" Joker continued

"What do you want to do with Eunbi if you are not with hwang heulin?" Yerin asks

"let's just say, i am trying to make a level playing field for both of them, and of course, this will be the best entertainment for me" Joker says while smirking

"you kidnap me to make it a level playing field for both of them? how is that possible?" Yerin clearly confused by Joker's previous statement

"not both of them, all of you. Eunbi vs Hwang heulin will not be a great battle, but with you guys, anything can change" Joker says while laughing

"you are weird" Yerin says

"What do you expect from a man named Joker?" Joker chuckled

a loud bang can be heard outside

"ah, looks like your princess charming and her have come to save the damsel in distress. let's see if she took my advice" Joker says wearing a huge grin on his face

Yerin just look at him, confused by what he says

Joker help pull Yerin to stand up, and pull her towards the door

"Hello Eunbi-ah, is SinB still inside?" Joker says while looking at the group

"Joker, let go of her" Eunbi scream at Joker, anger and frustration is evident in her voice and face

Yerin look at Joker to see that once friendly man that he was has changed into a coldblooded face that they see everytime he attack SinB and Eunbi

Suddenly, a whip like water comes from behind and cut the rope that tie Yerin's hand and attack Joker

Joker have no choice but to release Yerin and avoid the attack

Yerin immediately run toward Eunbi while Eunha appear behind Yerin protecting her using the water that she bring on her back

Yerin immediately hug Eunbi

"are you okay? He doesn't hurt you, does he?" Eunbi asks while patting Yerin's head

"I'm okay" Yerin answer

"Stay back, i got this" Eunbi put Yerin behind her and nod at the rest of her friends before looking at Joker

"you are going to regret this Joker" Eunbi says preparing to fight

"MAKE ME" Joker scream and prepare to attack

Suddenly, Eunbi disappear into a flashes of light and running around Joker to find a opening and hit him using her speed

Joker stagger a little before looking at Eunbi

"Impressive, so you finally take my advice, or is it SinB?" Joker says while grinning looking at Eunbi

Yerin heard Joker's statement and look at her friends

"What does he means? what happen to SinB? Why does Eunbi become so strong?" Yerin asks them

"SinB sacrifice herself to power up Eunbi's light power, She is no longer exist" Sowon answer, devastation is evident in all of their faces

"But, why? wasn't Eunbi realy care about SinB? why does she let her go?" Yerin ask her friends again, confusion took over her

"SinB is the one sacrificing herself, of course Eunbi try to stop her, but what can she do, she knows that she needs every single power up to save you" Eunha answer

Yerin feels sorry for Eunbi, she have to let go of her best friend to save her

the battle between Joker and Eunbi feels one sided since Eunbi make sure not to use any technique or power that Joker might counter. She only uses her speed to run around before attacking him. although Joker is cornered, he keep his smiles looking at Eunbi

Suddenly, a spear of light appear behind Joker and Stab him right in his heart

"well done Eunbi-ah, you have grown up a lot" Joker muttered to himself, but failed to escape Eunbi's ear

"Thank you for releasing the curse that Heulin put on me, my little Eunbi" Joker says while looking at Hwang Eunbi, his daughter.

Joker feels his curse is disappearing together with his life, a curse that Heulin put that make everyone he knows forget what he looks like and makes him do all Heulin's bidding for him, the only way to dispel the curse is death by Eunbi's light.

Eunbi realised what she had done at the final moment and rush to Joker's side "DAD!!" She screams, surprising everyone that are there

"Why? Why i didn't realised it soon?" Eunbi begin to cry

"You can't Eunbi-ah, It's Heulin's curse that did this" Joker explain everything about the curse to his daughter

"Don't blame yourself Eunbi-ah, it's Heulin's fault that this happen" Joker continued before taking his last breath

Eunbi can't help but feel frustrated and devastated because she have to see two of her closest die in front of her, moreover, she took her father's life with her own hand.

"D-dad, n-no, no no no no, please, no, please dad, wake up, i'm sorry dad, i'm sorry" Eunbi says while looking at the dead body of her father

She cries her eyes out while Yerin and her friends just stand there stunned by what just happened. Yerin is the first one to snap out of it and rush to Eunbi's side to hug the girl, trying to calm her down.

The rest of them just sit there, unable to comprehend what just happen

They stay there for the rest of the night before Eunbi decide to bury her father and gather everyone together

Yerin stays by her side all the time, holding Eunbi's hand.

With determined tone, Eunbi says to them "We have to continue what we are planning, Hwang Heuling have to be stopped by all means"

Everyone of them agreed. Yerin feels something is off with Eunbi, but decide to agree for now and ask her when they are in private

"Eunbi-ah, can i talk to you? only both of us?" Yerin asks

"Sure" Eunbi replies

They get to a secluded place to talk

"Are you okay Eunbi-ah? I can't help but feels like something is wrong" Yerin ask, concerned with Eunbi's well being

"I have to, it's something that both of them ask me to" Eunbi says, clearly not hiding anything from Yerin

Yerin looks at Eunbi, sadness and loneliness clearly still linger in her eyes.

"Let's take a 3 days off before we attack Heulin, we will still have 3 days anyway after that" Yerin suggest, to give Eunbi time to recover

Eunbi nod and tell the rest about her new plan to take a few days rest
