| Chapter 24 "Hello?" Eric said into the phone. "Hello?" the other side answered. "Is it Grace?" Eric asked. "Yeah. Eric hyung?" Grace asked. "Yeah. Are you ok by yourself?" Eric asked. "Yeah, of course," Grace said. "How's everything right now? Is Kang Ta ok?" Kang Ta again. Couldn't she just think about someone else for a second? "Yeah, he's ok right now," Eric answered. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous that Grace liked Kang Ta, although Kang Ta was a good friend of his. "That's good," Grace said. "Are you alone by yourself? Do you need someone to go over?" Eric asked. "No," Grace said. "It's ok. Take care of Kang Ta. He's so depressed now." "…ok…" "Talk to you later then," Grace said. "Bye." "Bye." *********************************************** "Does everyone who's in SM know about these stuff?" Alex asked when Eric returned inside the room. The rest of the people shook their head. "Woo Hyuk originally knew everything but after Celeste came out, we decided not to tell him and Kang Ta about these stuff," Christina said. She just came over with Lami. Alex nodded. "I suggest that you people don't tell them also," Alex said. "Don't forget about Grace," Lami said. "She also doesn't know about these stuff because she just came into our group after Sharon left." "I think that you should tell her. At least let her have an idea about it so she doesn't get into some kind of danger. Like H.O.T and the rest of the people, she's part of a group in SM," Alex said. The rest of the people nodded. "The reason that we didn't tell her was because we…found out that she also liked Kang Ta," Eric said. Alex looked at him. "She was a fan before but afterwards, she got accepted into the group. After she knew Kang Ta in real life, she liked him even more," Hee Jun explained. "I don't see why you wouldn't tell her though. I think that she could handle it," Alex said. "Then I'll call her over," Eric said as he went outside to make a phone call to Grace. *********************************************** There was a knock on the door that the rest of the people were in. Eric opened the door and let Grace in. "Hi," Grace said. "We called you here because we want to let you know something," Hee Jun said. "About Sharon?" Grace asked. Everyone looked at her in surprise. "I know about it already. You people think that she's a killer right?" "Did you tell her, Eric?" Min Woo asked. Eric shook his head. "He didn't tell me," Grace said. "There were rumors all over the company already. It's pretty hard for me not to know about it." The rest of the people then nodded. "That's true. People were always wondering about why did Sharon suddenly leave," Christina said. Grace then nodded. She suddenly saw Alex and was a little shocked. "I thought that…" Grace said as she pointed at Alex. "He's not Kang Ta, Grace," Lami said. Grace then looked at Alex again. True. There were some differences between him and Kang Ta. "You sure look like him though," Grace said. Alex smiled. She then looked at the rest of people. "What are you people going to do now?" "Would you think that Celeste is Sharon?" Hye Sung asked. Grace looked at him in surprise. "You people think that Celeste is Sharon?" Grace asked. Some shook their head and some nodded. "But why? I don't think that she would have the heart to kill her oppa and the person that she loves." "That's true…but the Messengers of Death does not have any feelings," Alex said. "How do you know about all these stuff?" Grace asked. "I'm from the Messengers of Death," Alex answered. Grace looked at him. "But I'm Brian's friend." "Oh," Grace answered. "What would you people do if she is Sharon?" The rest of the people looked at one another. *********************************************** The next day. "Shin Ji? Where are you going?" Tiffany asked as she looked at Shin Ji who was walking out the door. Shin Ji, Tiffany, and Mushi lived together. "I'm going out to look for more things," Shin Ji said with a wink. "Why?" Mushi asked as she gave out a yawn. "Because we have a little mystery here," Shin Ji answered. The other two girls looked at her questioningly. "You heard what Christah and Esther said right? That Celeste is too close to Kang Ta." "You're going to give him another letter again, Shin Ji?" Mushi joked. "No. I'll send him a bomb this time," Shin Ji said. "He actually became happier after he saw that body. Doesn't he even think about Sharon now?" *********************************************** "Kang Ta oppa?" Celeste called out. Kang Ta looked up at her. "Yes?" Kang Ta asked. "You seem to be happier these days," Celeste said. "Is that good or bad?" Kang Ta asked as he studied the expressions on Celeste's face. "Good. Of course good," Celeste answered. "None of us want you to be unhappy." Kang Ta nodded. "Sorry to let you people worry these days," Kang Ta said. "Can you tell Jae Won to come in for a second?" "Ok," Celeste said as she hurried out and called Jae Won. Seconds later, Jae Won came into the room. "Kang Ta hyung?" Jae Won looked at Kang Ta who was sitting in front of his computer. Celeste was still sleeping in his room at night but in the daytime, he stayed in his room and Celeste usually stayed in the living room. Kang Ta looked at him. "Close the door," Kang Ta said. Jae Won did as he is told and sat in the chair that was next to Kang Ta's. "I want to ask you something now…Tell me what you think…" *********************************************** "Celeste? What happened?" Yu Mee asked as she helped Celeste to sit down. "Kang Ta oppa wanted to talk to Jae Won oppa about something," Celeste said as she slowly sat on the sofa next to Yu Mee. Yu Mee nodded. "It's good that Kang Ta oppa is getting better now though," Yu Mee said. Celeste nodded. "He's a really nice person to be so upset all the time," Celeste said. "Yeah he is. Too bad that he has to lose the person that he likes," Yu Mee said with a sigh. Celeste didn't say anything. *********************************************** "What do you think, Jae Won?" Kang Ta asked after he told Jae Won what he was thinking. "I think that it's possible," Jae Won answered. "What are you going to do then?" "We'll see about it," Kang Ta said as he stared at his door. *********************************************** Chapter 25 "Since you can't finish the mission in time, my good teacher, Clouds, I would now take over the mission," the letter said. "Rain," Clouds said as she crumbled the paper in her hand. *********************************************** "That's what he told you?" Everyone looked at Hee Jun as Hee Jun's eyes widened to a bigger size than what his huge eyes are at already. "Are you sure you heard him correctly?…That's impossible…He told you that?…Ok…Bye." He hung up the phone. The rest of the people looked at him. "What?" The rest of the people then stared at him. "What do you mean what? What happened?" Min Woo said. "Don't get so hyper," Hee Jun said with a smile. "Don't get so hyper? Of course we'll get hyper if you don't tell us what happened!" Christina said. Hee Jun then patted her gently on her face. "It's bad for you girl," Hee Jun said with a sweet smile. Christina then blushed. What's wrong with him today? He's usually not like this… "Moon Hee Jun! You better tell us what happened already," Eric said. "Ok, ok," Hee Jun said. "Stop getting so hyper people. This is what happened. Kang Ta told Jae Won that…" He then told the rest of the people what Jae Won told him over the phone. "What do you think, Alex?" Brian asked. Alex smiled mysteriously when suddenly his face became stern. "Watch out people," Alex said. "Get ready to run. Run for your lives." "What happened, Alex?" Brian asked. "Don't ask now," Alex said. "Is there a back door in here?" Brian nodded. "Take all the people out from the back door." "What about you?" Brian asked. "I have my own way out," Alex said. "Quick. He's almost here." "You-" "Shut up and go," Alex said harshly. He then pulled Grace over. "Just stay with me and don't say anything later." Grace's eyes widened. "You mean that I have to stay here?" Grace asked. Alex nodded. "Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to pretty girls," Alex said with a charming smile. Grace blushed. The rest of the people immediately did as they were told and ran out the backdoor. Less than two minutes after the last person ran, the front door slammed open. "Alex. What a great time to see you?" the first guy to come in said with a chilling smile said. There were about five guys behind him. Grace shivered at the sight of this man because there was this evilness and coldness about him that scared people. "What are you doing here, Rain?" Alex asked with his usual smile. "I just got a report that the people from SM were here so I came to check," Rain said. He then noticed Grace. "What have we got here? Your little lover?" Grace looked at Alex. Alex stared at Rain and smiled. "It's none of your business Rain. Isn't killing the people from SM the mission of Clouds?" Alex asked as his hold on Grace hardened. "She didn't get it done. She's spending too much time and the client is getting annoyed," Rain said as he continued to look at Grace and Alex. "You know that the Messengers of Death cannot love anyone right?" "What I'm doing is none of your business, Rain," Alex repeated. Rain the looked at him and started laughing. "Oh yeah! I forgot that we are both men," Rain said as he continued to laugh. Grace turned even redder when she heard him say this. "I understand. I'll pretend that I never saw this. Especially when you're at this age." Alex just smiled coldly at him. Grace buried her head into him already. Why did she have to meet up with these embarrassing things? "Are you ready to leave now?" Alex asked without smiling anymore. Grace just noticed that Alex looked kind of cold when he's not smiling. "Ok, ok. I'll leave you to your own business," Rain said. "See you around, Alex." "I don't wish to see you," Alex said. Rain then took one last look at him before he walked out of the door. *********************************************** "Why do I have to meet up with these stuff?" Grace kept mumbling after they left the house. Alex then caught up with her. "Hey! That was kind of exciting wasn't it?" Alex said with a grin on his face. Grace looked at him in disbelief. "You call that exciting?" Grace almost screamed at him. Alex laughed. "You don't like adventure?" Alex asked. Grace decided to ignore him and walked away. Alex then caught up to her again and pulled her arm. Grace didn't know that he was going to pull her over so she almost fell. Lucky for her, Alex caught. "Can't you just leave me alone?" Grace asked. "Why?" Alex asked. "I thought that we have to look for the rest of the people together." Grace looked at him. He smiled again. "I know where they are. Get into my car." Grace then followed him to his car. "How did you know that Rain was coming?" Grace asked once they were in the car and driving. "Nothing much to that. I'm part of the Messengers of Death remember? If my reaction is not quick enough, I would be dead a thousand times," Alex said. "You got a thousand missions?" Grace asked as she rolled her eyes. Exaggeration. "Probably more than that," Alex said seriously. Grace looked at him. "I joined the Messengers of Death for more than five years already. If you count that every day, I would get a new mission, isn't it possible?" "You get a new mission everyday?" Grace asked. "More than one sometimes," Alex said with a short laugh. "You can't believe that you're sitting next to a killer and talking to him, right? We have to make sure that we finish our mission as soon as possible every time we get one. The slowest that it ever got was this one that Clouds got. She usually gets about three missions a day because she could finish one in less than an hour." Grace's eyes widened again. "She's that skilled? I mean, she doesn't need to plan it out?" Grace asked. "She plans it out as she's getting closer to her enemy. I don't know what got her to be so slow on this mission," Alex said. "I heard from one of the people that it's because this involves the person that she loves and cares about." "You mean…that's it's possible that it's Sharon because Woo Hyuk is her oppa?" Grace asked. Alex nodded. "Everyone is at the same time afraid of her and hates her," Alex said. "I have nothing against her though. She never really harmed me in anyway." Grace nodded. *********************************************** "Hello? Tony? How's Woo Hyuk?" Hee Jun asked through the phone. "Be careful, you people. They just sent more people after us…Yeah…We almost got attacked by surprise…Ok…See you people later." "How's Woo Hyuk?" Fany asked. "He's still the same…He seems a little better though," Hee Jun said. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "You guys! You know that he got with Chibi!?" The rest of the people got a lot happier by the news. "Really?" Sea asked. "Yeah! Tony just told me that. He said that that girl Hanna is getting pretty angry about it," Hee Jun said. "Yeah. We all could see that that girl likes Woo Hyuk," Eric said. "Oh well," Eugene said with a smile. "He's still with Chibi now." "That's good though. I always thought that they should be a couple," Hee Jun said. The rest of the people nodded. "Are we going to go to Woo Hyuk oppa's house now?" Boa asked. Hee Jun shook his head and suddenly laughed. "How about we go there, let the killers go after us, and then blow up Woo Hyuk and Tony's house?" Hee Jun joked. "Great idea. And let Woo Hyuk and Tony go after us," Jun Jin said. The rest of the people laughed at the thought of this, despite the fact that they were really kind of afraid that the killers were really following them. *********************************************** "I told you that it would never work," Clouds said to Hanna. Hanna was complaining about Chibi and Woo Hyuk. "I thought…Woo Hyuk was so nice to me. Who would have ever thought that he and Chibi would become a couple!?" Hanna said. "What are you going to do about it?" Clouds said with her usual cold smile. "Make them separate," Hanna said as she crossed her arms in front of her. "You think that you can?" Clouds asked with a cold laugh. "You know how stubborn oppa is." Hanna looked at her. "I don't care," Hanna said. "If I fail, I fail but I'm going to try." "It's your choice. Tell you one thing: I'm not going to help you in your plan," Clouds said. "Because you feel that that girl is your friend?" Hanna said angrily. Clouds shook her head. "Because I don't want to touch these kinds of stuff," Clouds said. "I'm part of the Messengers of Death." "But you already broke most of the rules, Clouds. Need I remind you of them again?" Hanna said with a smile. Clouds looked at her coldly. "You know that I have to ability to get rid of you," Clouds said. Hanna shrugged. "I don't really care," Hanna said. "But I would fight to the end if you try. At least I lived a life that I wanted. Unlike you, Clouds. You love a man but you can't tell anyone about it!" *********************************************** Chapter 26 "What was the meaning of that, Rain?" Clouds asked. "What do you mean, teacher?" Rain said in an obviously fake way. "You know exactly what I'm talking about," Clouds said. "I didn't do anything," Rain said. "I'm just trying to help you." What did he hate the most? This beautiful yet cold girl who happens to be his teacher and at the same time younger than him but also has a higher rank than him. "Sure," Clouds said. "I am," Rain said. "You think that I'm trying to do something else? What else would I have in mind other than helping you?" Clouds looked at him coldly. "I'm warning: Lay your hands off of my mission," Clouds said. "I think you got that wrong," Rain said as he tapped his temple. "I think that you mean lay my hands off of Kang Ta and Woo Hyuk." He looked at Clouds again. If people could kill with their eyes, Rain believed that he would be dead a thousand times already. "Admit it, Clouds." Not even calling her teacher anymore. "You fell in love with Kang Ta and you don't want people to hurt your long-lost oppa." He laughed. "You forgot that the first rule of the Messengers of Death is to forget all of your feelings? If you still have the feelings, you'll fail in every mission that you get. That's all I have to say for now, Clouds. Hopefully, I would see you again." *********************************************** "So it's true that now Rain is also after us," Hee Jun said. "Yeah," Alex said as he nodded. "You people should be careful of him also. He might not be like Clouds but he's trying all he can to take the place of Clouds." "But what are we going to do? Run away all day long?" Min Woo asked. "I didn't tell you to do that," Alex said. "Try not to stay together in one place. He would most likely try to get all of you in one blow." "That means that we should separate a little more," Jun Jin asked. "Not separate to the point that there would be no one to help you when there are killers after you," Alex answered as he shook his head. "Then what are we suppose to do? We can't have too much people and we can't have to less people," Hee Jun said. "Then we take a number right in the middle," Alex said calmly. "I suggest that we separate into groups of around five people." "How are we going to separate it then?" Hye Sung asked. "It doesn't matter. As long as we are not alone and we have not all the people in one group, it would be ok," Alex said.* "Grace would stay with me though." Everyone looked at him. He smiled and said, "You people forgot that Rain saw her with me already? He wouldn't try to harm her." "He can't anyway," Brian said. "With you beside her?" *********************************************** "Eric hyung? Are you upset because you didn't get to be in the same group as Grace? She's with Alex so she's not going to be in any group," Hye Sung said as they walked out of the place that they were at a few minutes ago. Eric looked at him, turned red, and immediately shook his head. "He likes Grace?" Kim asked. "No!" Eric denied. "We all know that you like Grace anyway, hyung," Fany said. Eric turned even redder. "He's getting embarrassed already," Kim said. "Let's just don't talk about it now." Eric looked at her gratefully. *********************************************** "Kang Ta! Do you mind if we move into your house?" Hee Jun said as he walked into Kang Ta's house. It was Yu Mee who opened the door. Kang Ta was sitting at the sofa. Kang Ta looked at him with surprise. "Move into my house?" Kang Ta said with a laugh. "Why move in? Your dogs kicked you out?" "No. I just want to be closer to you," Hee Jun said as he started to pretend to be a girl and walked toward Kang Ta. Kang Ta jumped up and ran the furthest that he could away from Hee Jun as the rest of the people laughed. "Ok," Kang Ta said finally. "You could move in here." He then looked at Christina, Jun Jin, and Sung Mi. "Don't tell me that you people are moving in also." They all nodded. Kang Ta then sighed. *********************************************** "You know what happened, Sharon?" Kang Ta said to the picture again. "Hee Jun, Christina, Jun Jin, and Sung Mi are moving in. I don't know why but I feel that there has something to do with the killers again…" He touched the picture gently and smiled. "I'm going to find you one day. I want you to come back to me…and I'll never let you go again…I love you…" *********************************************** "Are you people going to sleep in the living room tonight?" Kang Ta asked. "I guess so," Hee Jun answered. "Where else do you expect us to sleep in?" "Outside the door?" Kang Ta suggested. Hee Jun aimed the pillow at Kang Ta but missed. "The girls could sleep in my room with Celeste if they want. There's enough space." He then looked at Celeste. "Is it ok with you Celeste?" "Sure. Why not?" Celeste answered with a gentle smile. *********************************************** "Did you notice that Kang Ta is getting a little bit normal?" Christina asked Hee Jun in a low voice. Kang Ta was in his studio and Celeste was in the bathroom. Hee Jun nodded. "I wonder what made this big change. He's still nice to Celeste and everything but not what he was like when he first saw her," Jun Jin said. "Maybe he figured out that Celeste would always be different from Sharon," Hee Jun said. The rest of the people shook their head. "That can't be. Remember when we told him that, he didn't even listen to us?" Jun Jin said. The rest of the people nodded. "How weird though," Christina said. "Isn't he afraid that we might try to make Celeste go away or something like that?" Indicating herself and Sung Mi. "He's not afraid when he made us take Celeste out last time," Hee Jun said. The others nodded. "I wonder what made him change," Sung Mi said. *********************************************** *These are the groups that they would be as follows. They would seldom go in any other order during the time that Rain is after them (chilhyun1979: If there is a change, I'll indicate it but most likely it would not change): First: Hee Jun, Christina, Kang Ta, Celeste, Jun Jin, and Sung Mi Second: Woo Hyuk, Chibi, Tony, Audrey, Andy, Gina, and Hanna Third: Jae Won, Fae, Min Woo, Christah, Dong Wan, Lami, and Brian Four: Eric, Kim, Esther, Hye Sung, Fany, and Poyan Fifth: Alex and Grace Chapter 27 "Eh? Kang Ta? Where are you going?" Hee Jun asked as he looked at Kang Ta who looks as if he was ready to go out. Kang Ta looked over at him. "I'm going out for a walk," Kang Ta replied. "Are you sure?" Hee Jun asked. He remembered that they were not suppose to go out alone. "Can I go with you, Kang Ta oppa?" Celeste asked as she walked out of Kang Ta's room. Kang Ta looked over at her with a look of reluctance. At the end, he gave in, but all of the people who were there saw that look of reluctance on his face. Hee Jun, Christina, Jun Jin, and Sung Mi looked at one another. "Ok. But are you sure you want to go?" Kang Ta asked one last time. Celeste gave a definite nod. Kang Ta then nodded and said, "Do you need to change or do you want to go out like that?" "If you want me to," Celeste answered as she lowered her head. The rest of the people thought that they kind of saw a sign of annoyance from Kang Ta when she said that. "I don't mind," Kang Ta answered with a smile. "We can go out like this." "Ok," Celeste said with her usual smile. *********************************************** "Kang Ta oppa?" Celeste asked. Kang Ta looked at her. They were in his car. "Are you getting annoyed with me?" "No," Kang Ta said as he turned his attention back on to the road. "Are you sure?" Celeste asked. Kang Ta shook his head. "Yeah. I'm sure about it," Kang Ta said with a smile. "Oh…ok," Celeste said with smile. Kang Ta then brought her to the beach. The same one that he shared with Sharon the night that she told him her secret. "Are we by the ocean?" "Yeah," Kang Ta answered as he looked at the ocean. "Don't you like it here?" Celeste slowly nodded. "It's nice here," Celeste said. Kang Ta smiled. However, he suddenly saw something a little distance that his whole facial expression changed. "It's her," Kang Ta whispered. "What are you saying oppa? I don't understand. Who's her?" Celeste asked. Kang Ta suddenly got up and ran toward the left side of Celeste. "Kang Ta oppa!?" *********************************************** "Sharon!" Kang Ta yelled out as he got near to the girl that he just saw. However, when he caught up to the girl and the girl turned around, it was someone else. "Sharon? I'm sorry. But my name is not Sharon, Kang Ta oppa," the girl said with a smile. "My name is Shin Ji." Kang Ta looked at her. The way she dressed, the way she put her hair, the way she walked…She was copying Sharon. She must know her…He knows it. "You know where Sharon is," Kang Ta said. It was not a question. It was a definite sentence. "No I don't," Shin Ji said with a smile. Let's see what you are going to do now, Ahn Chil Hyun. Kang Ta stared at her. He didn't believe one thing that she was saying. Shin Ji could see it from his eyes. She stared back at him. "Your girl is waiting for you over there," Shin Ji said as she pointed at Celeste with her free hand. Kang Ta was grabbing her other arm. Kang Ta looked over and saw Celeste still sitting on the sand, looking with unseeing eyes in their direction. "She's not my girl," Kang Ta said. Shin Ji looked at him and laughed. "What are you laughing at?" Shin Ji stopped laughing and looked at him straight in his eyes. "Ahn Chil Hyun. You're telling me that you brought a girl to a place that you brought your last girlfriend to and this new girl is not your girlfriend? Who are you trying to lie to?" Shin Ji said. "Anyone in their good mind would not believe you. You have forgotten about Sharon already, didn't you? Now, you only care for that girl over there." Kang Ta looked at her and kept shaking his head. "I never forgot Sharon. I don't care if you believe it or not. I didn't. I never forgot her and I never would," Kang Ta said. Shin Ji looked at him. "Can you please tell me where she is right now? I want to see her…please…" Shin Ji saw that he was about to cry already. "I don't know where she is," Shin Ji answered. "I knew her since she was young, like Audrey." Kang Ta looked at her, still not believing her. "You could ask Audrey if she knows a girl named Shin Ji. She knows me also." *********************************************** "Audrey," Tony called out. Audrey was in the living room with the rest of the people. There are a total of seven people in the house including Hanna. Tony had the phone in his hands. "Kang Ta wants to talk to you." "Ok," Audrey said as she took the phone over. "Hello?" "Hello? Audrey?" It was Kang Ta. "Yes?" Audrey asked. What does he want this time? Don't tell her that…? "I don't know where Sharon is." He asked her that question almost every week since Sharon left. "I'm not asking about that this time," Kang Ta said. "Do you know Shin Ji?" "Shin Ji!? Where did you see her? I haven't seen her for years already!" Audrey said over the phone. "So you know her? She knows Sharon also, right?" Kang Ta asked. "Yeah," Audrey answered. "We were great friends at that time! We didn't see her for a long time…We lost contact when she came back to Korea. You should have seen how upset Sharon was at that time. She thought at that time that she was again left with one friend again." Once the words came out of her mouth, she knew that she made the wrong move. "Is it possible that Sharon would go look for her?" Kang Ta asked. "Not really…I'm not sure if Sharon even found her yet. Besides…we all saw the news on tv…Did you really see her? Do you know where she lives and everything?" Audrey asked. "No," Kang Ta said. Audrey could hear the sadness from his voice again. *********************************************** "Kang Ta?" Hee Jun asked. He was sitting next to Kang Ta who was sitting with the phone in his hands. Kang Ta came home all excited and then he suddenly got upset again. What's wrong with him these days? "She's not there. Where could she possibly go?" Kang Ta mumbled to himself. "Kang Ta?" Hee Jun called again. "Hello! Hee Jun calling! Would Kang Ta please reply if he hears me?" Hee Jun called again. "Maybe she found Shin Ji after she left. Is that possible?" Kang Ta kept talking to himself. Hee Jun stood up. "KANG TA!!!!! DID YOU BECOME DEAF AFTER YOUR LITTLE WALK?" Hee Jun practically screamed. Christina and Sung Mi were already laughing hard with their hands over their hands over their mouths to prevent the sounds from escaping. This was probably the first time that Hee Jun actually had someone ignore him and it's actually someone who he was worried about. Maybe this is the real time that he should start worrying. Finally, Kang Ta looked up. Hee Jun thought that Kang Ta finally came back to reality. "Maybe I should see if she would go to the beach again," Kang Ta said to himself again. Hee Jun then fell into the chair behind him and covered his face with his hands. "Christina…" Hee Jun called out. "Yes?" Christina asked as she tried to control herself from laughing. "Don't you ignore me also, ok?" Hee Jun said. "Ok," Christina answered. "Hey!" Sung Mi protested. "Why just her?" "Because I didn't know you for that long!" Hee Jun answered. He got back some of his spirits again. "So mean," Sung Mi said. "At least you got Jun Jin," Hee Jun said. Sung Mi blushed. "What are you talking about? I knew him about the same amount of time that I know you people…" Sung Mi was saying. "But you spend more time with him," Hee Jun said with a big smile. *********************************************** "She still loves 'Sharon'," Hanna said to Clouds. "Yeah," Clouds replied. "So what are you going to do?" Hanna said. "It seems as if the news didn't help. He still thinks that 'Sharon' is alive." "It's none of your business, Hanna," Clouds said. "Just trying to help you. You know how fast Rain is. If you want to know, his next attack would be sometime this week," Hanna said. "There's a rumor out saying that Rain said that if he fails, it would be your fault because you helped the people from SM. If he gets their lives, that would prove that you do not have the ability to maintain your reputation and he should take over your place in Messengers of Death." "I don't care," Clouds said with a cold smile. "He could do whatever he wants but if I don't want it to happen, it never would." "You should be careful though. Everyone knows that he's after the mission but he's also after your life." *********************************************** |
