SK Mansion
Everyone went separate ways to find Jennifer after the gunshot was heard.
Now, the hall was a mess. All the people were running towards the exit, pushing and pulling each other. Some fell down on the floor, some kept going running for their lives.
Half of the people had already left the hall by now.
" Oh my god! Where is Roseanne? Roseanne??" Mrs.Park shouted while Mr.Kim was trying to find Charles and Roseanne.
" They should be somewhere here." Mr.Jeon said following them.
" I thought I saw them at the bar. Where did they go now??" Mr.Kim said pushing some people on his way.
Mrs.Park dialed Roseanne's number but she didn't pick it up. She kept on calling her continuously panicking.
" Norman, where is Jay?" Mr.Jeon asked as he came towards them.
" I just saw him at that bar for a brief moment." Norman said pointing at there, " Dad wait a minute."
He spotted Harley passing by them.
" Harley!!" he shouted. Harley turned and came towards him.
" Have you seen Jay??" Norman asked panting.
" No, I was just searching for him. He was with the group.I can't find them."

" This is a mess. Where's Victor??" Mr.Son shouted to his bodyguards at the other side of the exit.
" He left after the gunshot,sir. We don't know where." they replied.
" Aish that brat!!" he massaged his temple, " Let's go before the mess gets bigger."
They nodded and followed him to the exit.
Meanwhile, Victor was rushing to the corridor which was now dark and empty. Where is she?? he thought to himself searching through all the corridors.
Suddenly, He heard a sobbing of female near by him and followed the sound. The female was sitting on the ground, covering her face. He gave a sigh of relief, recognizing her.
" Are you alright? How long have you been here?" He quickly hugged the sobbing female.
" Victor!! im scared." she said while crying on his shoulder.
" Its ok, its ok." he calmed her down while picking her up, " Let's go home." They left the hall quietly as he covered her face.

Julia and Gerald decided to look for Jennifer at the hall. All they could see were people running for their lives but no sign of Jennifer.
" God, where the hell is she?" Julia put her hands on her waist.
Gerald just looked through the crowd and gave a hopeless sigh.
Meanwhile, Liliane and Brent were near the exit door, just to make sure if she was leaving from there.
" Damn, your friend really is something." Brent said annoyed.
" Well, i know that nicely." Liliane focused on every single people leaving the hall.
Charles had lost Roseanne way earlier when they decided to look together. She looked really panicked so she disappeared herself somewhere in the crowd.
"Why are there still people??" he said frustrated and decided to go to the corridor but it was too dark. He searched for his phone in his pocket but realised it wasn't there.
" Aishh, where did i leave my phone??" He returned to the hall towards the bar they were in before.
Ezra was struggling his way through the crowd.
" I swear this girl always ends up annoying me."
Just then he saw Irene again in the crowd. But she looked like she wasn't going to leave. He quickly went towards her.
" You! Did you see jennifer??" He pointed to Irene.
She just rolled her eyes, folding her arms, " Weren't YOU the one who said not to follow her??"
" You can't be trusted."
" Obviously, i can't! what if I know where she is. You think i'll tell you??" she replied, giving a smug look.
" Don't test my patience, Irene."
" Oh, So you really believe me??Thats weird."
" Have you seen her or not?" his eyes turned dark and serious.
Irene locked eyes with him and spoke after a pause.
" No."

The corridor was quiet and dark. Jay had his phone's flashlight on. He opened all the doors that were on the way. But with vain since Jennifer was still nowhere to be seen.
He kept going forward and opened a door. There was still no one. He reached a little further and saw a slightly opened door. He rushed there and opened it. This room was different then the rest of the rooms. There were very few furnitures. Like only one table on the middle with an old book shelf at the back.
He saw tons of files scattered on the table. Curiosity took him over and he went inside. These files looked suspicious to him. He looked at all the files pointing his flashlight on them.
One of the files took his attention. 'Dxl courier'
" Dxl courier? The company the killer used to work at?"
He opened the file hurriedly reading through the pages.
'Dxl courier, one of the most trusted courier company to deliver your packages! Established on 1990, with the aim to....'
He kept on reading but found nothing important. He turned the page and read through it too.
'The company shut down due to finding of illegal drugs...'
He read on then turned the page again. This time something caught his eyes.
'Company founded by Son Shihyung....'
" Mr.Son??" he scrunched his brows.
Suddenly, he heard a loud scream of a female. He turned around and decided to look for the sound. Turning to the file once again, he put it down and left the room. Once, he got outside he saw a woman had fallen down across the corridor. He picked her and helped her to the exit.
Meanwhile, Roseanne was also walking through the corridor at the other side. She was desperately looking for Jennifer all over the place. Her phone's flashlight was on too.
Mom calling...
It was almost the hundreth time her mom's call had been ringing but she ignored it. She opened that door and this door but still no sign of Jennifer. She walked a little further and again her mom's call came. She sighed and decided to take the call. Just as she was going to pick the call, her heels stepped something on the floor. It was like she stepped on liquid, but thicker. As she looked down, it didn't look like water but rather it looked like—
Flashh. All the lights came back to life and the whole mansion was now lit again.
-Blood. No....it was blood.
Roseanne's eyes slowly followed the pool of blood and saw a man. A lifeless man lying on the ground. He was shot.
She stepped back three times still not looking away from the body. Her eyes were wide and terrified.
Jay arrived at the moment and saw it too.
" Oh my godd!" he turned back instantly.
All of her friends arrived there and stopped suddenly after seeing the view. They were all wide eyed and speechless. Roseanne fell back down expressionless but jay hold onto her.
But the most shocked out of the all was, Charles.
He stood infront of the body, not taking his eyes off of it. Disbelief all over his face.
" Bobby?" he whispered trembling.
