5.53pm

“Beat me all you want but when the clock strikes 12, you’re going to lose your beloved member.”

The directornim laughed as Shindong gave him another hard punch to his stomach. He fell backwards towards the wall and started spatting out blood. Heechul squatted down and forcefully lifted the directornim’s chin.

“What do you mean by that?!”

“It’s exactly 2 months since Sandra died today. You know what they say about the restless souls? They’ll be dragged to hell when the clock strikes 12. But, no one likes to go to hell alone.” The directornim wiped the blood away, glaring at the other members under his fringe.

“You killed her!” Henry kicked his foot. “You’re the one who deserve hell! Not her!”

“Of course I killed her.” Directornim laughed. “I killed her. Again and a-ing-gain.”

“Your Ryeowook, he seems like a nice guy, a decent guy to fall for traps easily. And I was right. Sandra wanted revenge, you see. And she almost haunted me to my death. But I made a deal with her. I promised her someone younger, someone with fresher blood, someone who would go to hell with her and take half of her sufferings there. And of course, who else than your pathetic little member. Sandra liked Ryeowook the second he stepped into the house. Sandra is going to take him with her and there’s nothing you can do now, boys.”

Zhou Mi tugged on Heechul’s shirt. “Hyung, we don’t have much time. We have to find Sandra’s body and bury her by tonight.”

Siwon nodded too. “Where did you hide her body?”

“I’m not telling you.”

“Tell us!” Shindong punched the directornim’s face. “TELL US NOW!”

“I WON’T, IDIOTS! EVEN IF YOU KILL ME NOW AT LEAST I WON’T GET DRAGGED ALONG WITH SANDRA TO HELL!”

“WITH OR WITHOUT SANDRA, YOU’RE STILL” Heechul hit the director hard in his stomach. “GOING TO ING HELL!”

Siwon pulled Heechul back. “Hyung, he’s not going to tell us. We can’t waste our time. Come on. We’ll just have to find it ourselves.”

“We’ve still a few hours to go.” Shindong glanced at his watch. “We can do this, guys.”

Heechul nodded and then glared at the directornim. “What are we supposed to do with him though?”

“I’ll call the police.” Zhou Mi waved his phone and then looked at the other girls the directornim was hanging out with earlier on before they busted in. “And you better get out of here or you’re going jail with him.”

“Come on, let’s go.”

“AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!”

The members zoomed straight into the house, not even giving a second glance back at their parked car. It sounded like Ryeowook screaming. Heechul burst through the doors and followed the screams and paused, confused out of his mind when he saw Ryeowook hiding behind Kangin while Donghae and Eunhyuk laughed their off.

“Wha.. What’s going on?” Zhou Mi asked, panting.

“Ryeowook got scared when he saw the spider.” Donghae laughed. “You should have seen his face!”

“H.. Hyung, are you feeling better?” Henry touched Ryeowook’s forehead. “Did Sandra possessed you again today?”

Ryeowook gave the members a bright smile, one that the members hadn’t seen a long time. “I feel great today! So light and free. I don’t know why but I really think that Sandra left me.”

“I don’t see her or hear her around anymore.” Ryeowook calmly said. “And I feel so much healthier and brighter than before.”

It was true. Ryeowook’s eyes were bright, his smile was sincere and wide, he looked healthy and his skin was even glowing! Ryeowook didn’t look at all like how he used to the past few weeks But… If Sandra had left then… Who did she brought back with her to take her pa
