The little monster was dramatically getting bounced around in the backpack while In Seong ran. It popped its head out to see why In Seong was running. It saw Eun Yoo behind him, along with a little girl. The monster decided to make some noises but In Seong ignored them as he turned the corner. He stopped short, seeing Eun Hyuk standing there, blood dripping down his face.

Eun Yoo slowed down, walking in front of In Seong. In Seong was still confused about how Eun Hyuk was alive, if anything, he should have turned into a monster. He stayed behind because he didn't want the others to know he was symptomatic. In Seong stared at Eun Hyuk, expecting to hear some sarcastic comment or some comment about him following Hyun Soo like a lost puppy.

Jin Hee slowed down, coming up to her brother's side. "That's not the same person you knew, oppa," Jin Hee jumped along with In Seong. In Seong thought that Jin Hee stayed behind with the others, but apparently, she was just like him. In Seong should have known that Jin Hee would follow. "I'm sorry." Jin Hee lowered her head.

In Seong knelt in front of her. "Why are you sorry?"

"I'm a monster." Jin Hee wiped her face with the sleeves of the jacket. In Seong noticed the last name on the jacket.

"It's okay, Jin Hee," In Seong reached over, wiping a few stray tears she missed. "I'm just surprised." There were days he thought Yeong Su would become a monster because of his anger and hatred towards everyone.

Jin Hee rocked on her feet. "I was forced to become one." In Seong tilted his head. "Some crazy doctor experimented on me, and others, turning us into monsters." In Seong pulled Jin Hee into a hug again.

Now In Seong understood why Jin Hee was crying so hard when she saw him again. In Seong wished that Jin Hee wasn't there to begin with, but it didn't matter now. In Seong pulled away, "What about eomma and appa?"

Jin Hee shrugged. "I went to the hospital with my friend and her parents, she had an allergic reaction. After a couple of days, the people there went missing and the day I was taken, they had already killed twenty people." Jin Hee said.

In Seong sighed, wiping Jin Hee's cheeks. "Well, you'll be staying with me, okay?" Jin Hee began to smile. Then her smile fell. "What's wrong?" In Seong asked, guessing what the problem was.

"You're turning into a monster." In Seong nodded. "That's a bad thing."

In Seong looked back at the bus, impatiently waiting for Hyun Soo to free himself. "Not really." He turned his attention back to Jin Hee. "Not every monster is like that asshole who attempted to trap Eun Hyuk and Hyun Soo. Some of them are like Hyun Soo, who helps and keeps us safe." In Seong said.

"Who's Hyun Soo?"

In Seong took a deep breath. "The guy I like, Jin Hee." Jin Hee looked towards the bus; a concerned look came across her face. "Yeah, I know." In Seong turned sideways to look at the bus. "Hyun Soo needs to figure out how to get out himself." In Seong thought about it briefly upon seeing the bus again and Eun Hyuk standing there. Hyun Soo needed to free himself - there was nothing they could physically do to help him.
