[ 1.5 ] Sight
Touching Heaven
3 weeks after Sohee's release, the 4 ghosts were to meet at the small playground, only to meet a dozen demons.
All demons were there, except Chinhwa.
It was then, that Sohee realized the grief in all of their eyes. They all looked death-strucken, as if mourning for a loved-one. Xiumin had once told her, that there were hundreds and hundreds of demons in the world,
but now, it seemed, that they were on the brink of extinction.
All the demons looked like normal people, and there was no way to tell that they were a demon, unless you measured their strength.
Demons were made for one thing; to kill.
And to kill was their only purpose, therefore; they had only the necessities they needed, unlike those "magical power" stereotypes on television.
Demons could live forever, as long as they were touching blood or bleeding. You can never tell, if they have a small splinter in their skin, or a huge nail in their back.
Demons were only strong enough to kill an average human, they had dreams to find killers, and a vibrating tracer in their wrist to find ghosts.
And that was it. Nothing fancy, and demons only wished they were like the vampires in Twilight.
Sohee stared into the eyes of the 12 remaining demons, and she couldn't find Minzy either.
There was an extra person, a lonely eerie-shaded boy who just sat on the swings and listened to everybody. His name was Hyuk, and Wonwoo instantly bonded with him, for they both shared the same misery of having been rejected by a loved-one they were forced to leave behind with lies.
"Pssst." Someone had whispered to Xiumin. He turned around to find Siwoo, a ghost he hadn't seen in years. The boy seemed cheerful, but Xiumin knew that boy couldn't hide the misery inside of him.
"Where are the other ghosts?" Siwoo asked, tilting his head in confusion.
It was then, too, that Sohee realized there were only 6 ghosts in the world.
They all introduced themselves first.
Sohee remembered each of their names and the slight description she learned from their conversations.
The conversation began with 5 words.
"Chinhwa is to be destroyed."
