Chapter 3

Minho’s Room

Minho went to the room at the top floor of the science building. There’s a small room there where he would always make his Art pieces…be it painting, sculpture…it’s his private space. He loves the privacy it gives him. No one dares go there specially that people think it’s haunted. But Minho enjoys the solitude…he likes it there…

“Minho..are you here? If you’re here…please tell me now or I’ll leave in 3..2…1…ok, you’re not here, I’m leaving.”

Ahhh that would be Lee Joon. He’s the only one who knows he goes here. But what can he be doing here? He hates creepy places…he won’t go here if it’s not urgent…

Minho left the room and went by the stairs.

“Hey, Lee Joon!” called out Minho

“Dude! You should’ve made a sound!” said Lee Joon

“I’m in the middle of something, make it fast.” Said Minho

“Something happened…We were kicked out of the office. Art’s club does not have an office anymore…And L said he needs to talk with you.” Said Lee Joon

Minho gripped the stairs handle but it did not show in his face.

“Tell L I’ll be there.” Said Minho

-------------------------

L asked every art piece be brought to his family warehouse. It’s not a good place to exhibit art works, but it will protect the pieces from weather.

“That’s the last of them. Good thing everybody helped out.” Said Hara

Lee Joon was looking around… “We’re still lucky your family has this warehouse.” Said Lee Joon

“They can’t kick us out like that L…we need to file a complaint. WE are a legitimate club of the University. We deserve an office. We have complied with every rule. They should too. ” Said Hara

Hara is simple minded. She should understand that Politics overrules the written rules.

Minho entered the warehouse.

“Hara, Lee Joon, can you guys check that everyone gets snacks…I just need a moment with Minho.” Said L

“Umm…sure…Let’s go Lee Joon.” Said Hara

----------------------------

Minho noticed the a small box in one corner of the warehouse. He opened it to see his painting inside.

“I know how precious that is to you. So I had it stored specially.” Said L

Minho bushed his hand on the painting “Thank you.” Said Minho

“You knew this might happen, right?” asked Minho

L nodded “But not at this extent…I thought she’ll start slowly…but she’s really impatient.” Said L “can’t blame her though…she only has a few days left.”

“What’s gonna happen to Art’s club?” asked Minho

“We’re still a legitimate club. But we have to postpone all the activities and meetings we originally set inside the office…we need to find a new place…” said L

“And by the looks of it, Top Hill will not allow us to get any room for our club activities.” Said Minho

“Yup, that’s true. It seems that’s the case.” Said L

Minho took a deep breath looking at the painting.

“She said it’s got to be you…she said you had the heart of an artist…she said that by just looking at that painting.” Said L

“Just until the end of this week…You’ve got to find her someone else after this.” said Minho  

“You know that’s going to be hard. She chose the best among our club…how can I offer someone else after you?” asked L

“You always say that in Arts, there is no best…That each one has their own style.” Said Minho

“No Minho…that applies to everyone else except you. You’re the best artist this club ever had.” Said L

“Then that’s it then, find someone else to replace me after a week, L. I don’t want to end up like Taemin.” Said Minho

------------------------

Sulli doesn’t know why she’s in front of a warehouse. She just followed some Art’s student and saw that they still have a way to secure the Art works. That L President is not easy. It seems the Art’s club has more backbone than the others.

If she did this to the science club, they would have already begged her.

Sulli noticed someone going out of the warehouse….Minho Choi?!

Sulli silently followed him. The way is familiar…He’s going back to school?

Minho went up the science building. Sulli is curious…Science building? Why?

And then he was going up the top floor…

No…That’s the haunted floor!

Sulli doesn’t know what to do…She sat by the stairs…she’ll just wait for him until he goes home..But after an hour of waiting there…Sulli got really impatient.

Sulli went up the stairs…each step felt like the wooden stairs is creeking. Why is this top floor never renovated?!

Sulli went up…cobwebs everywhere….There is almost no light…Why does this floor need to be this creepy?

Sulli tried to push the fear away

“They are just rumors…rumors…this is not haunted…it’s just old.” Thought Sulli reminding herself there is nothing to be afraid of.

Sulli noticed a lighted room…The door is partially opened. Is he here?

Sulli took a peek of the room. And she saw that it’s a small room….It has an unfinished painting on the wall. And then she
