"Deiji, are you going to tell me?" He had been patient throughout the whole journey. But now Sungchan was falling more and more curious.

After asking the old lady the way to a mansion in front of a vineyard, he did not expect it to be this huge. It was a whole valley away from the village. He began to wonder more and more as to what business Deiji has with this place and how it is related to her parents.

"Are you sure we can even be here? It looks like a private estate?" he cautiously whispered, while looking at every corner past the greenery beside them. He was sure that the owner would not be pleased to see two teenagers trekking through his or her well grown farm of vine grapes. Rolling her eyes, Deiji finally took a step outside the long row of fields and stood in front of the mansion. "It's fine. Trust me"

Gulping, Sunghcan nodded and followed her lead to the front door. It was bigger then she actually expected it to be. From afar on the other side of the field, Deiji wasn't even able to see the building. But as the two hiked through, she spotted it . . . it was tiny.

That was until she got closer. Along with that, it carried this dark aura that screamed for no one to enter. But that only made her want to know even more with full awareness that this was the exact aroma any illegal site beholds. "So this is the headquarters," she said to herself.

She still couldn't get her head around the fact that they disguised it as a wine producing farm. It surely would not be a suspicious site a police officer would check out. However, it was quite isolated. Probably a necessity a gang would require.

"Headquarters?" a confused voice from behind her repeated.

Nodding, Deiji bit her bottom lip in thought and exhaled. "If I am correct, this is the place aunt eun tak was talking about. Hopefully, it's still owned by them"

"Owned by who?"

Placing her hands on either side of her hips, she excruciatingly turned her head slightly over her shoulder to connect her sight to the boys wavering orbs. 

Slowly, the etches of her lips lifted up with a cunning gaze glinting deep in her eyes. "A gang," she whispered sinisterly.

It was as if she said a forbidden word because Sunchan was sure that the crows screeched out and flew past the tall pine trees into the blue clear sky. The whole scene was too similar to one that would be spotted in a horror movie. Specifically when the sound of a guns are shot in the air. Snapping his head back to Deiji he instinctively reached his hand out to her. "I don't know if you are joking or not but I know you're not that reckless."

"I'm not lying" she darkly spoke out making his hand that rested on her shoulder tremble. Eyes flickering back and forth from her hand that reached towards the door, he looked to the mansion above. "I want to go home"

Shrieking in annoyance, she nudged him off. "Stop being a wuss"

"You've got to be crazy to think this place is safe. It looks like a haunted house. I doubt anyone lives here" sending an unamused expression, Deiji faced him completely. "Clearly someone does, because look" she pointed to the field in front of them. She did not need to finish the sentence for him to get what she was saying.
