Kibum stepped into the halls of what is bow known as Dialisk Hall. His friend, named Hyukjae, followed him with a cold voice.

"Kibum, you actually know that visiting this restricted area is not a game," said he. Kibum smiled.

"Hyukjae, don't you be afraid of what the elders say. Relax, the thing they refer to as the Phantom won't appear."

Hyukjae looked at Kibum. He whispered, "The Phantom is real! My mother saw-" "Don't believe what your mother says! Why, have you seen him?"

Hyukjae swallowed an amount of saliva, for at these words, a black figure emerged behind Kibum.

"Kibum, the Phantom is real. He's behind you," Hyukjae pointed behind Kibum with a shaking finger, chilled to the bone.

Kibum turned around slowly, eyes closed, praying that Hyukjae was only joking.

As he opened his eyes slow as a snail, his pale face met a dark head, with eyes staring at him.

"KIBUM-"

...

Hyukjae ran home crying.

When he opened the door, he found his parents fighting.

"Where did you go?! And please stop crying! You're not a baby anymore!" his mother shouted non-stop, pointing at him.

He just waited for the newspaper next day, as he usually did.

The headlines just kade him cry again.

He read part of the article:

"Body of child found lifeless in Dialisk Hall"

"Kim Kibum, 15, found lifeless in the middle of Dialisk Hall. His clothes were ripped apart and his head had a face with no more eyes, torn ears and a bleeding nose.

"Experts say that the Phantom came and did this to him."

Hyukjae kept reading till the end - his eyes just won't stop.

"His marks the 897th kill of the Phantom for this year."
