Hi everyone - this is just background story. It is needed. So I will hope you will be patient. 

Gaelin stared up at the compound. The air was misty and you could barely see more than ten feet ahead in any direction. A large forest surrounded the compound and there was the ocean to the east. This place was like death.

“The old Jung compound,” Hoseok said, but how could anyone forget this place. It had been shut down ever since that incident. “I vowed never to come back here.” He shoved his hands into his pockets and shrugged, “Kaja.” He walked toward the large iron gates.

Gaelin, Yoongi and Soo-hyuk silently followed at a close distance. Behind them were Minjae and the two judges.

“I am going with Hoseok oppa.” Gaelin said and followed Hoseok. He waited for her at the bottom of the stairs and they could see the pair talking quietly as they walked up the stairs.

“I will just check Gaelin’s room and then retire. See you tomorrow.” Soo-hyuk left as well.
