"Are you okay? Didn't you get hurt?" Kwangsoo asked her once they got to where she was.

"No." Hyesung answered.

"We're the ones who got hurt." Sehun stated.

"It's cold. Warm yourself by the heater." Jaewook told the actress.

"We would like to ask you a question now that you are alone." Jaewook started saying after a few moments.

"You know a magician called Charming, right? We know you do." Sunmi told her.

"Yes. Please tell us honestly." Kwangsoo added.

"We know that the two of you are lovers. We even have a picture." Jaewook said as they showed her the photo that they found on the chest.

"You took a lovely picture with him." Jaewook commented.

"Yes." Hyesung finally admitted to knowing the man.

"There is a problem." Jaewook told her.

"What kind of a problem?" She asked.

"During a rehearsal, Mr. Charming disappeared like magic." Jaewook informed her.

"Are you saying he is missing?" Hyesung clarified.

"Yes, we even went to Mr. Charming's house. He is nowhere to be seen." Jaewook revealed.

"Maybe you have an idea of where he could have gone?" Sunmi asked her.

"To be honest, I was in love with two people." Hyesung admitted.

"What?" Jaewook and Kwangsoo both said.

"Who is your other boyfriend?" Kwangsoo asked her.

"I was in love with Charming and Charming's best student, Hyunwoo." Hyesung revealed.

"Uh, no judgement or anything. But, how is it possible to be in love with two people at the same time?" Sunmi asked her.

"While the two of them are alike, they have different charms. I fell for their charms." Hyesung explained.

"That's why she is good at acting." Kwangsoo told the others.

"Oppa!" Sunmi scolded him for saying that.

"We were supposed to meet after the performance today. Recently, he came to my house and left this." Hyesung handed them an envelope. Jaewook opened the envelope and pulled out a single sheet of paper.

"It's a stage design. What is this?" Jaewook thought out loud. Sunmi took the paper from him.

"These plans show the exits the magician and his assistant need to take for the trick to be successful. For a magician to perform his magic trick, he needs to follow the marks on the floor to disappear from one spot and move to the other." Sunmi explained to everyone.

"Perhaps someone stopped Charming from appearing once again." Jaewook suggested.

"That's right." Sehun agreed.

"That person must know this design. Someone who knows about how this magic trick works." Jaewook told them.

"There is a high possibility that person is Mr. Charming's best student." Sehun stated.

"No. We're forgetting someone else. Someone who was involved performing the trick itself." Sunmi told the others.

"Magic Girl? No way. Sunmi-ah, she doesn't look like the type to do something like this." Kwangsoo defended the girl.

"I'm not saying that I'm 100% sure it's her, just that we shouldn't take her out of the equation just yet. We don't know what she could be capable of." Sunmi told Kwangsoo and Jaewook, and Sehun agreed to her words.

"How he disappeared is still a question we haven't answered." Sehun said and everyone nodded. Sunmi recalled all the clues they found so far and ran through scenarios in her mind. She remembered the peculiar thing she noticed that morning about the marking tape being in the middle of the floor instead of being at the side of the panel where it won't be as easily seen.

"There must be some kind of problem in the secret tunnel he was about to use during the performance." Sunmi stated out loud as she shook the stage plan that was still in her hands.

"He didn't have this with him. That means he might not have been that familiar with which route to take." She continued saying.

"Then we should go back there to check the floor plan." Kwangsoo suggested.

"Right." Jaewook agreed and they all headed off back to Sunmi's car.

"Aein, I'll drive us." Sehun reminded her and she nodded at him with a smile. Soon after, they were on their way back to the Magic Performance Hall.

-- Magic Performance Hall, Ilsandong-gu, Gyeonggi-do --

"We should go to the performance hall." Kwangsoo suggested.

"Yes. We don't have much time left." Sehun added.

"Right, there isn't much time left." Kwangsoo said as they entered the hall.

"They are getting ready for the show." He added once he saw the staff moving the chairs and tables around and making sure everything was perfect.

"Yes, I guess so." Jaewook told him. Sehun positioned himself on the stage and began comparing if the floor panels that opened earlier were the same ones that were marked in the floor plan.

"Sehun, can you find out anything from that?" Kwangsoo asked him.

"I'm just looking at it. Besides Xs, there aren't any other marks on this floor plan." Sehun informed him. Kwangsoo got up to the stage and stared at the panels, trying to find anything that could be different.

"Wait a minute. Why are the tiles over there and here marked?" Kwangsoo asked.

"Those are the tiles that will let them drop down." Jaewook answered him.

"But that mark is different from the mark over here." Kwangsoo told them.

"You're right." Sehun told him as he and Jaewook also walked to the center of the stage.

"We should figure something out from these marks, but I have no clue what they are." Kwangsoo said as he walked to the back of the stage to where the entrance to the secret panels were.

Sunmi wasn't paying attention to what they were saying. She was busy running through scenarios. Suddenly, she smelled something weird.

'No way. Is that blood?' She thought to herself as she went near Sehun.

"Oppa, do you smell anything weird?" She asked him and Sehun looked around, sniffing before shaking his head no. Sunmi led him to where she was standing earlier.

"What about now?" She asked and Sehun sniffed around again. This time, he picked up a faint metallic-like scent. His eyes widened.

"Is that-" He started saying.

"It smells like blood, right? I think there's another trap door near this area. That mark that Kwangsoo-oppa said was weird, I found it weird this morning too. It's usually fixed in a corner of a panel so that it isn't that clear to the audience. Like the one on the right of the stage." Sunmi gestured to the marking tape that was at the si
