Chapter 157 - Taking the Blindfolds Off

"Hello," Ye Rim came in putting on a stern face, after changing shoes and taking off her coat. She had really stopped to eavesdrop before coming in, and even put her ear to the door. She didn't want to interrupt any romantic moments right?

The singer had heard part of the conversation, from the moment Eun Ha said that her father was a military man who traveled a lot. In addition to the strange feeling of jealousy for not being the first to know about these things, and the surprise of realizing that her unnie's relationship with the teacher was deep enough, the singer was alarmed and intrigued by the information. It seemed that Eun Ha and his French Teacher knew something about supernatural creatures. They had a name for what was sucking Yuna Zhang. And they suspected that their mother could have been a victim of these creatures too! 

The eccentric millionaire who spent his time as a French teacher, and her unnie, looked at her strangely.

"Were you talking about my mother? Saying that her story looked like Yuna Zhang's story?"

"Ye Rim, you got it wrong ..." Eun Ha started to justify herself, but Ye Rim just waved her hand,

"No, unnie, I'm not mad. Not shocked either. I'm actually a little shocked. But I want to understand better. I," she looked at both, "saw two of these creatures that my mother has seen. Recently. And I ... I exorcised them. One of them was with Yuna Zhang!"

Eun Ha came running towards you,

"Ye Rim, what are you talking about?!"

"The shadows that my mother spoke of. They're all over the place, aren't they? Do you think…" she was unable to continue on this path, imagining that her mother could have killed Eun Ha's mother under the influence of this monster. "What I want to say is that I believe you, I have seen very strange things, and more and more. I've seen shadows following people in a hospital, but I thought I was crazy. I also saw a shadow that looked like a person climbing on top of a closet and running away from me through the bathroom. And on the day of Eun Ha's fashion show, I saw a shadow ... A creature made of shadow, actually, that was on top of Yuna! But the shaman Mon Bin taught me a prayer to 'cut off' the supernatural, and then the thing jumped from her to the ceiling ... but then it ran away. And there was the day in the Octagon, when the Ukrainian fighter became a werewolf in front of me!"

Ye Rim blinked, realizing that she had spoken quickly. Eun Ha looked at her, open-mouthed, and Professor Shin looked alarmed. Ye Rim then realized that he should have sounded crazy.

"You were talking about it, weren't you? You believe me, don't you?"

"Jung, you better calm down Miss Nam," said Professor Shin, standing up with the distinct intention of leaving.

"Professor Shin!" Eun Ha protested, in a high-pitched voice.

"Don't you want to talk privately?" he seemed surprised by her unnie's reaction, and Ye Rim turned to Eun Ha, confused, "Weren't you talking about this?"

"Well, it's a theory, based on…"Eun Ha collected her thoughts and tried to explain, "There is a theory on beings that feed on negative emotions. That's what we were talking about, Ye Rim."

"But ..." Did she hear it wrong? She saw that the Professor looked annoyed, and Eun Ha nervous. "You were saying my name, and about my mother and Yuna Zhang."

"Did you really see these things, Ye Rim-ssi? And you… did you see a werewolf in the Octagon?" asked the man.

"I went after you in the Octagon, and I saw a werewolf!" Ye Rim spoke louder than he should, seeing her unnie's friend's arched brow and uncomfortable expression.

"Jung, I really think you should talk to Ye Rim -ssi alone."

'Am I sounding crazy, or are they making me look crazy? What secret is that between them? Why do they look at each other like that? They were talking about the same thing as me! ' Ye Rim thought, watching the exchanges between teacher and student.

"Do you think I'm crazy like my mom?!"

"No, Ye Rim! Calm down! Calm down! I think you just got us wrong. You are experiencing a lot of stress. I'm going to make some tea and then we…!"

"Don't treat me like crazy!"

Ye Rim was so sure of what she had seen and gone through, that the expression of horror on her unnie's face made her crumble. Turning on her heels, and with tears in her eyes, she left.

"So, the police were here asking questions about a boy who asked for help at the gate of the house. I don't understand, this story is very confusing, grandpa," Jun Hyeon was having dinner with his grandfather at his mother's house.

Mr. Go tried to explain for the second time,

"Mrs. Young was very embarrassed to tell me, and apparently only did this because the police insisted on talking to one of the family. The police were here twice because a boy said he was attacked right outside our gate. Not only is the story worrisome, but there's also an aggravating factor, which is why I called you here, my son. Your mother would be furious if she had to deal with this, and maybe even fire Mrs. Young."

His grandfather was again losing track of the information. No doubt his mother would lose her temper if she had to deal with the police.

"Halabeoji, would you prefer that I call Mrs. Young to tell me? She is a good employee, she has been here for many years, but Mom would really be upset if asked to testify. She is very busy! What did Mrs. Young do to this boy? "

"You know that every now and then a charlatan or another comes around saying that he has messages from his sister."

The doctor shivered. It was not a few times that good or bad people tried to talk to their mother, saying they were sensitive.

"Was that boy a sensitive?"

"Mrs. Young said that two weeks ago, in the early evening, someone rang the doorbell. He answered and was a young boy, with a bruised face. At first, she was afraid of being a scam and an attempted robbery. Then this boy said that a man had attacked him, and that he had brought a girl to our home. A girl he described as Ji Hyeon, she said," Mr. Go paused dramatically, watching his grandson's reactions.

"What do you mean, with Ji Hyeon?" the surgeon's voice cracked when he asked.

"He spoke of the burnt face, the height and Mrs. Young thought he was talking about her. Then she thought he was one of the scammers who used to show up here years ago. And called the police. When the patrol came to the scene, they found no one on the street, and left. However…"

Jun Hyeon was getting anxious about this strange story. Making quick calculations, he concluded that these events happened on the same day he had a seizure in the park, thinking he heard his sister's voice near him.

"What did the police say and why did they come? Did they find someone?"

"The boy went to report the attack that same night. According to police, the boy found this woman, whom he didn't know her name and seemed disoriented, on an avenue about 10 kilometers from here. He, who is a delivery man, gave that woman a ride. Upon arriving in front of our house, a masked man with a stick attacked him. While he tried to defend the woman, she ran away, walking down the street. The attacker abandoned him and went after her. It was then that he got up and rang the intercom. That's what the police said to me, son. See, I'm shaking. This story is horrible, but… why would a charlatan go to the police?"

"Didn't they say anything about the street cameras? Nothing? What about our private cameras?" The idea that his sister was alive was absurd, but the event was also absurd, as was something inside him that said he wasn't crazy. He should check this out.

Mr. Go stood up, "Come on Jun Hyeon, watch it with me again. The police asked for a copy, but we haven't taken it to them yet. If your mother finds out, Mr. Young knows she'll be fired. But understand, she couldn't have known before seeing the recordings ..."

Jun Hyeon held his breath inside his chest, preparing for an unpleasant surprise. Upon reaching the security screens, Mr. Go showed the footage files they prepared to be sent to the police. 

Only two cameras were filming in front of the house. And around 7 pm that night, someone carefully pushed them were carefully out of the way.

"Someone meticulously planned it..." Dr. Kim grunted, shocked and angry. "But one of our neighbors must have better images."

"What should we do, son?" Mr. Go knew this was a serious matter, and perhaps he could even guess the thoughts of his only grandson.

"I'm going to the police, I need to know more about it," the grandson replied.

At that moment, a message arrived on your phone. Glancing the screen, Jun Hyeon raised an eyebrow, surprised,

"Oppa, I need you! I'm in a cab, going to your apartment!"
