....

Mrs. Ahn was throwing away trash bags when she noticed her new tenant entering the building.

"All good, Doctor Ohm?" she asked Hobin. The latter stopped to chat with her.

"Yes, Mrs. Ahn," he replied with a smile. "Why are you out so late?"

"Don\'t ask!" Mrs. Ahn complained. "I\'m just so fed up nowadays. I\'ve been clearing out old junk from previous tenants for the past few days and it\'s exhausting! Look at this!"

She pointed at a box full of what looked like stale food and expired animal food which stank like hell. Hobin wrinkled his nose in disgust.

"What\'s that?" he asked, feeling a little nauseous.

"That\'s junk from a rotten git!" Mrs. Ahn complained. "He actually used to live in your flat. After the Lee family moved away, he came to live there for a month or two. But he was always bringing really ferocious animals to his apartment. Cats, dogs, wild birds and what not. I once saw him bring in a snake! Can you imagine that?"

"Anyways, the animals made a lot of mess in the building," she went on. "So I told him to leave. I don\'t mind house pets but he was letting them run around loose. The Kim family downstairs own a Golden Retriever and I never had any trouble with that gentle little thing! But the tenant in question, Shin Changseob, was just the worst!"

"He does sound like a pain," Hobin winced. Thank god the animal stink from my apartment is gone, he added in his head.

"He was," Mrs. Ahn agreed. "Anyways, I\'ll have to clean these out. The trash collectors will take it from here."

"Good night Mrs. Ahn," Hobin smiled and went back into the building. Once he reached his flat, he turned on the lights and took off his coat. Slumping on a bean bag, he laid back and closed his eyes.

The image of his brother and the Tinkerbell dancing together was circling around his head. For some reason, seeing them together was causing a strange pain in his chest. His heart was beating too fast for his liking and his insides felt as if his guts were being twisted in a cruel manner.

Hobin had flirted around with a lot of women but those were just harmless stuff. He was never serious about anyone nor did he ever commit himself in a relationship because he did not want to end up hiding his secret from a person who might fall in love with him. It would be unfair to that person.

Tinkerbell was the first person outside his family to know about his powers. Maybe it was their shared experiences of being born with abilities beyond their control or their perceptions of the world around them, but he felt a connection with her.

Even though the Kang\'s considered him to be a part of their family, Hobin had unconsciously held himself back from being fully open to them. 

Was it his recurring nightmare about the monstrous man abusing a little child or was it the visions he had about the raven wings on his back, but Hobin knew that he was much different from his mother and brother. It was not just his abilities which made him different; it was something else. But what was it? It was yet to come.

Which is why when Jina revealed her powers to him, he finally felt relieved. There was someone in the world who had accepted him with an open heart and understood the pain he went through to keep his abilities hidden every single day. She was someone he could share his frustrations and exhaustion with. Also, he could listen to her rant out her feelings about her powers. 

So seeing Jina with Siwan was making his heart ache. 

"Ugh, I\'m being an idiot!" he scowled at himself. "It\'s not like I\'m losing a girlfriend! She\'s more like a little annoying pet!"

His phone was ringing in his coat\'s pocket but he ignored it. He was in no mood to talk to anyone at all. 

Meanwhile, at the party venue, Jina was annoyed. She had been trying to call Hobin for over an hour but he did not pick up at all!

After Song Yohan\'s accident, the rest of the party was cancelled. All the guests were rounded up for questioning but the CCTV camera showed that Yohan had tripped and fell off the stairs. Before that, he was talking to a man in a brown coat who had a very distinctive toad-like appearance with several blisters on his face. Yohan took an envelope from that man before dismissing him and was walking along the stairs when he tripped out of nowhere.

That was what the other people saw. Only Jina could see Rachel\'s figure on the camera, pushing her father off the railing.

How many more people is she going to hurt? Jina wondered. 

She was in the security room of the hotel with Woohee. Jaebum was at the ballroom, questioning the witnesses. Everyone was shaken up by the incident. Mrs. Jung was yelling at the cops but once they threatened her with arrest for tainting a possible crime scene, she went mum.

"Where\'s the envelope which Yohan had?" Jina asked.

"It\'s still in his breast pocket," Woohee sighed. "The paramedics were in such a rush to take him to the hospital. We\'ll need to ask the doctors to keep it safe for us."

"Ugh, if only this dumb guy would go there and pick it up!" Jina gritted in anger, trying Hobin\'s number for the umpteenth time. Siwan was at the hospital but Jina could not disturb him when he was busy tending to Song Yohan. Jiwoon, Chanmi and Dahoon were outside the Song\'s residence, keeping an eye on Hyojin.

"I\'ll go myself!" Jina finally said. "That envelope must have evidence in it and I\'ll have to check it out."

She paused before adding, "Keep an eye on the Jung\'s. Especially the girl, Sera."

"Why her?" Woohee asked.

"She went to Rachel\'s school and was apparently a victim of her bullying," Jina stated. "My brother told me about it. She might have a good reason to want Rachel dead."

Woohee sighed. "Kids really don\'t know when to stop, do they?" she asked in a wary tone.

Jina\'s mind wavered back to Rachel. "They don\'t," she agreed.

With that, she headed off towards the hospital to grab the envelope before it fell into the wrong hands.
