Author's Note: Hey guys, I know that it's been a long time, and for a New Years resolution that I'm hoping to fullfill is to try to update more frequently. So I hope that you enjoy the your New Year and leave please leave a comment at the bottom.

“He’s what?” he asks me incredulously. So I decided that I was gonna tell Jaeseop what I saw last night, but I think he finds it hard to believe based on his outburst. I guess telling him that his ‘not-so-secret’ crush is the boyfriend to some psychotic, crazy person is a little over the top.

“I said, ‘Kiseop is mental and/or possibly crazy,” I said for what felt like the millionth time.

He let out a long sigh while putting his head in his and falling back on the couch. “Are you sure that you didn’t see something else? Maybe he was visiting somebody. Or he could’ve volunteered there or something.”

“I know that there could be other options as to why I saw that but I know what I felt. And it was dark. Malicious. Maleficent. Downright evil even. Whatever it was, it almost made me sick to the core.” Even thinking about it made me shiver.

“Okay, let’s say he was crazy and was sent there. Have you ever thought that he could’ve been release because he was cured?”

“Well when you put it that way…”

“See now everything is resolved.” He got up and went to the kitchen. I soon followed after him with a thoughtful look.

“But that still doesn’t shake off the feeling that he doesn’t seem like a nice guy,” I told him. “I mean even you should feel something off about him right.”

“I’m not here to be prejudice or anything.” I gave him a ‘are-you-kidding-me’ look before he continued, “But yes, I felt something weird when he’s around, but I’m not saying that it makes him evil or anything.”

“Ugh,” I groan before looking back at him in the eye, “fine how about we meet at Gangbuk Institute later tonight and investigate?”

“They won’t let us in one: we don’t know anybody and two: it will be too late for visitors.”

I gave him the look one more time, “Duh, that’s why we are witches.”

I turn on my heel and made a bee-line upstairs. “Where are you going?” I heard him yelled.

“I’m getting ready for my date!” I shouted back as I headed into the shower.

After three hours of preparing I finally got downstairs to find Jaeseop flipping through the Book. I walk over to him and look at the page he was on: Mortuos Suscitate (trans. To Raise the Dead).

“Hey, you know that this won’t bring him back right?” I ask him sadly.

“I know,” he said as he closed the book. “It’s just so hard because I knew that I could’ve saved him.” At this point he was starting to tear up. I was following close behind. “He was so young, and I failed him as a brother.”

I couldn’t take it anymore, I jump on him and gave him a big hug. I guess it’s my turn to comfort him. “I know you miss him because I do too. He was my brother as well.”

Pulling away I stared into his eyes. “But you can’t use this spell without thinking of the repercussions. Myunggie wouldn’t want that.”

Looking at the clock, I saw that I should be heading to the museum about now. I stood up and turn to my brother. “I have to get going now. But remember to meet me at the Institute at midnight, okay?”

“Yeah, but until then I’ll be researching the building’s structure and stuff.”

“Alright. I’ll see you later.”

I open the door to the museum and handed the maître-d my invitation. I was surprised and amazed by everything that Kris has done for me. He sent a limo to pick me up and drive me, and the decoration for the exhibition of this new object.

I was walking around greeting random people when I was pulled aside by Kris himself. I soon found myself up against a wall in a dark hallway away from the public eye.

“What do you think you’re doing?” his face was inches from mine. “I saw you out there flirting with those men as if you’re still available.”

I just scoff at his childish assumptions. “Please those men couldn’t even get me if they tried.”

Staring into his eyes, I grabbed him by his tie and pulled him towards me. I felt his lips begin to move against mine as I comb my other hand into his hair. His hand secured themselves around my waist as I felt his tongue begin forced into my mouth.

Our tongues began to battle each other before he removed his lips from mine’s and resume attacking my neck. My mind was about to wander off when I felt a cold shiver running down my spine. And not the good kind.

I push him off me and look around us. There was nothing around us. This thing is getting out of control. Kris’ voice woke me up from my stupor.

“Hey, you okay? You look scared.”

“Uh,” taking one more glance around, I said, “yeah. I think that you should find your parents. Don’t you need to be there for their presentation?”

“Oh, right. Thanks for reminding me, babe.”

With one more peck on the lip, he left me alone in little daze. I took a minute to prepare myself before I walk towards the gathering of the new exhibit. I manage to get a spot up front to see the Wu family talking about a new and rare discovery.

I wasn’t really listening until something caught my attention. “…found the key to lost world; one that is to possess the strange and mystical powers. Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to present to you, the Draco Clavem.”

‘Oh, no.’

They took the blanket off the hidden item to reveal what I had feared the most, the key.

I place the last blueprint map that I had found in the back of my school library. Not even going to question why I found that there. Nope. Not one bit.

I began circling the exit ways in case we need a quick getaway. I was just about to change to a different map when I notice something off.

Each map was given a compass key at the bottom right corner. They all pointed the same way, but the room numbering and stairways all contradicting each other. “Constituo,” (trans. Rearrange) I whispered.

I watch with calculating eyes as the all the blueprints’ sketches begin to glow and move around quickly before the prints began to look right.

That’s odd. Why would the architect build a building with plans that didn’t make sense? Unless…

“…it was sabotage,” I finish aloud.

“No, it was to slow you down,” a deep voice whispered behind me.

I couldn’t even get to react before I felt a cloth being placed over my mouth before everything went dark.

I ran outside as quick as I can and grabbed my phone and dialed for Jaeseop hyung. I heard Kris yelling for me but I manage to get away faster. I ran and ran until I made it home. Boy do I need to work out.

I ran up into my house where I began yelling at Jaesep hyung. “Oh, boy. Do you think that you shouldn’t answer me when I called for you like five times? I am so furious at you that I--  Jae-hyung? Hyung, are you there?!”

I had apparently came home to an empty house. I search everywhere but I couldn’t fine him anywhere.

I stumbled into his studies upstairs where I found a bunch of things thrown around. I found what appeared to be blueprints to Gangbuk Institute. The odd thing was that a floor seems to be missing. Counting them all I found out that it was the fourth floor.

What could be at the fourth floor? Another clue? Or is that where Kiseop, or whoever it is, is keeping Jaeseop? Better safe than sorry.

Changing into another pair of clothes, I took my car and sped to the institute. When the building came into view I prepared myself for the next for the worst.

“Hang in there, Jaeseop Hyung.  I’m coming for you.”
