On their rooms.

Each rooms consists of 5 bed.

The organizer strictly said that the given group will also be at the same room. Everyone agreed to the organizer's term and proceed to their respective rooms. Since it's still 5 pm Ethan tried to visit's Luna and Elain's room. The moment he open the door he saw all the club members were already there comfortable owning the room.

"What's this? A meeting or what?" Ethan said.

"You know if you don't like here, just go" Bella said and Everyone agrees specially Dong-Yul.

"HEY! That's rude!" Ethan said then went beside Luna.

Suddenly Don-Yul also went beside her right side. Ethan and Dong-Yul look to each other sandwiching Luna between, They glare to each other and trying to talk by their cold gaze.

"Luna!!, I saw a little pond there can we look together? I am actually scared if the gate is really lock" Jae suddenly pop up in nowhere with Yumi. Jae is looking to Luna like he begs to go with her since he is still awkward toward Yumi. "Jae, is it really good to asked her at this time? She looks busy talking to-" Yumi got cut to what he was saying when Luna try to speak. "I will go with you" Luna said, she really felt uncomfortable to be in between with Ethan and Dong-Yul, she is kind of thanking Jae saving her. On another hand, Yumi smile but disappointed to have a solo time with Jae. Their night was so chaotic and the day has come.

On the event, all student gather and went to their designated tables, there they can see a rope, four sleep mask and one map. The Mc give them 10 minutes to prepare the players before starting the game. Ethan sigh and clap his hand to gather all the attention then he looks to Jessie. Ethan place his both hands to Jessie's shoulders. "Listen Jessie, you are the only person in this group who has the good sense of direction. Trust us because we will trust you" Ethan pep talk Jessie. Ethan looks to Steven, Yumi, Yuri and Dylan. " Guys we need to follow each Jessie's command okay?... We are all connected by the rope so if anything happens to one another let's do our best to help. Team work is the Key" Ethan said then look to Dylan.

Ethan went to Dylan and tap his shoulder "since we all know each other except you and Steven, we would like to know you guys better. Your position will be in the middle" Ethan reassure Dylan. "Jessie will be our core and Dylan will be our second core. Dylan will be the first to move and Me, Yuri, Yumi and Steven will support and follow the movement." Ethan said. He put his arm to a stretch stance for preparing and start to tangle the rope to him and pass it to everyone. The minute they finish preparing, Ethan said a last reminder "Remember to calm down and focus to Jessie's command." Ethan said and everyone's agreed.

The flare gun has been fire as a signal.

The challenge has been started.

"forward" Jessie said while he was holding a map. Everyone charge forward "Stop, slow forward" Jessie said as he was dragged unintentionally by them resulting to make him about to fall. "Careful" Jessie said, so everyone try their best to walk fast but careful.

Jessie saw a barricade ahead from them.

"Stop" Jessie command and everyone stop.

"Left"

"Another left"

Jessie look to the map again then command. "left" Jessie said. After he felt satisfied to their direction he command to go forward.

Everything went smoothly as they cooperate each other, but suddenly.. "Stop!" Jessie said but everyone was late to react making Yumi on the left side fall to a dig hole. Yumi was able to grope the rope from his waist and try to reach a rock to make him in a stable position. "unmasked! Let's help Yumi" Jessie command and everyone take off their sleep masked and saw how badly were Yumi condition. Ethan look around to see any near trees on their location. "This tree will do, untie yourself in the rope and tie it to the tree" Ethan command.

Jessie lend a hand to tie the rope to the tree. They all look to the hole where Yumi was hanging " Why would a 10 feet dig hole exist here?" Steven ask with shock. They start to pull Yumi out of the dig hole and save him, as soon as they finish everyone sit on the muddy ground " This resort was newly establish, since this resort is far more vast.. We can expect to see some unrenovated building or a house here. These holes were common so be prepared" Dylan said. "Before we leave… I clearly saw someone bellow me… I know it a person" Yumi suddenly speak and went to peek at the dig hole.

Everyone take a peek but they all can see was mud. "You sure?" Yuri asked. "Of course I heard a groan down there, looks like a woman" Yumi described. Instead of agreeing to Yumi, they suddenly felt chills on their bones. "Maybe those dig holes are all façade? Maybe it was intended to burry a person? " Ethan said making everyone started to get scared. Yumi stand "That person will be dead If we just talk here… anyone want to help?" Yumi asking for an assistance but Ethan, Dylan, Steven and Yuri avoid his gaze terrified. Yumi sigh "Ghost aren't real" he said.

Jessie stand up and tied the rope again to the tree then he went to peek the hole. "I'll go down. I am experience for rock climbing.. Though this in not a mountain or anything.. I can still see a pattern." Jessie said. Everyone look shock as Jessie start to talk normally, that was his longest word he speak. Jessie look to Yumi "If anything happen just support the rope and pull it out of the hole." Jessie said.

Climbing down.

Jessie safely reaches the bottom and can clearly saw a hand, he hesitated but help the person the minute he saw the hands move. Jessie saw a woman covered with mud, He examine the woman first. The woman is wearing a formal attire, more like the woman is a boss on some company. "Ma am? Can you hear me? We are going to leave in this hole okay? Please trust me and cling to my shoulders" Jessie said and didn't think about the mud that will transfer to him too. Jessie carefully tied himself to the rope together with the woman. Jessie carefully climb while Yumi and others support Jessie by pulling the rope slowly.

The minute they escape the dig hole, Jessie gently lay the woman on the ground. They saw a beautiful woman wearing a formal attire. "Wait…" Ethan went to the woman "Aunty?... Aunty Kumiko??" Ethan rush and held Kumiko in his arms. "Why are you here? What happen to you? Did Jae or Red know about this?" Ethan said in shock.

Kumiko look around and tug on Ethan's shirt. "Why are you here?.... " Kumiko asked in concern. "The school prepare some event here for clubs" Ethan said. Ethan stand and look to everyone.. "I am sorry guys but can we lead Aunty Kumiko to our room? She really needs to rest.." Ethan said shyly. Everyone sigh "You don't need to asked us that, after this we will continue the challenge.. Okay?" Yumi said and Everyone agreed. They hurriedly lead Kumiko to their room but Kumiko said that she will stay at the comfort room since she is full of mud. "Aunty.. You can borrow my extra clothes. Here so that you can rest to Ethan's bed after cleaning yourself" Yuri offer her dress to Kumiko.

Kumiko looks to Everyone. "Thank you everyone, I'll definitely pay my debt with you guys" Kumiko unintentionally smile with elegance. Even though her skin is covered with mud, they can saw that she has a fair skin. Since Kumiko was drench out by the mud, they can clearly saw Kumiko's body shape, the minute they saw it all the boys averted their gaze to something trying to respect their Kumiko.

"You mention Jae's name.. Is that Jae's big sister?" Yuri asked.

"That's his Mother.. " Ethan explain.

Everyone was so speechless, they would never thought that Kumiko is a Mother. "She just look 26 to my eye!" Yumi said and Others agreed except Yuri. "Hey! Talking about the age, specially a girl is kind of rude!" Yuri crosses her arm. "Aunty doesn't mind talking about her age though, by the way she is already 40 years old" Ethan said. Ethan understand their reaction since Kumiko was very beautiful ever since, he think that maybe it runs on their family's blood. Since Jae and Red may have a different Father but their appearances are beautiful.

After leading Kumiko to their room, They tried to finish the challenge even though they expect that they will never win. Reaching the line, They were the 10th group which is the last group finishing the challenge, since they were the very last, as a punishment, they didn't get anything. They are all interested to Kumiko rather than the price so they immediately clean their selves and went to the room. Apparently they have lots of questions. Before Ethan went to their room, he talk to Jae that they suddenly found his mother in this resort. Jae greed to come along to see her Mother's condition.

Jae rush and open the door. Everyone looks stunned as they saw Kumiko's real appearance. Kumiko have a long hair chestnut color with a pointy nose and a kissable lips. Everyone went back to reality as Jae shouted Mother. "Mother!!.. What happen?" Jae look so worried and hold his Mother's hand.

He suddenly stop and look to her Mother "Is it because I still not going home? But Red is there so… you don't need me" Jae said. Kumiko shake her head as a no "Red didn't come home, he is staying at the hotel". They all went silent and find their places to sit.

"Aunty.. What happen to you. Why are you at that dig hole in Wang's property?" Ethan asked but in a gentle tone to not freak her out.

"I can't explain…but they started to find me and trying to force me to stay in one place.." Kumiko said. "I escape somehow when I fall from the dig hole." She added. "Mother, why they suddenly do that to you? " Jae asked. Kumiko open her mouth and about to say something but she didn't continue. Kumiko stand "I-I need to go..". Kumiko look to Yuri and give her a privilege card from her company. "I have a clothing company, if you need to buy any dress please consider to drop by at 21st Century, that is our brand name. Please give that card to the staff and said that I give it to you, they will assists you and all you take will be free, so don't try to hold back when you visit there Dear" Kumiko pat Yuri's head and smile warmly. "Thank you for helping me" She said then open the door.

"Mother? Where are you going this time?" Jae hold Kumiko's right arm.

"I-I'll go home okay?.. Can you wait until the event ends?" Jae said.

"No one is really at home from the start." Kumiko bitterly smiles to Jae. "I am leaving.." Kumiko said and able to let go of Jae's grip. Silence filled the room as Jae watches her mother walk away bare footed. Jae silently sit beside Ethan. " I won't understand anything of no one explain it to me, Is It because I run away? Do I suddenly lost my family?" Jae asked to himself. Everyone didn't say anything.

The door slam open.

They saw a tall guy with a chestnut hair same with Jae.

Red scanned the room and saw Jae, He went rush towards him and hold Jae's shoulders. "I heard Mother is here, Where is she?" Red looks so agitated making Jae worried. "Why-" Jae got cut out when Red shouted. "WHERE'S MOTHER?!". Jae closes his eyes as this is the first time heard Red shout in an Anger manner. "She left… she said she didn't-" Jae stop saying anything as he feel disappointed and hurt when Red leave and won't let him finish talking.

Red hurriedly run outside and search for her mother. Then suddenly it flashback to him when he was talking with Dong-Yul. He remember Don-Yul laughing while he show his small laceration wound at his left arm to Red and laughingly said that he accuse Red's mother did this to him. Now all the butlers and body guards were in high alert for finding Kumiko. The event was stop as the news reach to the teachers that one of their student were badly injured due to uninvited guest which they were referring to Red's Mother. Red suddenly saw Dong-Yul at the pond with a cast on his left arm.

Seeing Red's agitated makes Dong-Yul laugh. "Judging from your expression, it seems you haven't find your Mother?" He arrogantly asked. Red was so furious and hold Don-Yul's collar "Shut your mouth or I am really going to kill you" Red said so furious looking down to him. Dong-Yul laugh "As if you're going to kill me, if you really want to kill me you could have done ….it ….be…before.." He slowly said those sentences because he saw Red didn't budge to what he was saying. As if Red was telling the truth that Red will really kill him. Dong-Yul felt the chills rush through his whole body.

Dong-Yul gulp and try to regain dominance to Red and tell him "What's even the problem? You said that you want your Mother go to jail?.." He said and smirk.

Red lose his grip and let him go. " You should be grateful to me since I helped you, wounding myself and blaming it to your mother.. Wound it the police investigate your Mother? And dig until they found out about the small killing of your lovely Mother" Dong-Yul try to tidy his shirt and flick some dirt. "I just help your Mother reach the Police and go to jail" Dong-Yul chuckles "well the difference is She got caught, Different from what you wanted that she will admit her doings" He added. Dong-Yul went towards Red confident this time "Do you really think that your Mother.. A killer, would admit to what she did?.. Even a thief would think that's crazy!" Dong-Yul tap Red's Shoulder while laughing.

The time Dong-Yul done that, Red snapped and about to throw a fist from Dong-Yul's head When suddenly Luna Throw her sleeper towards Red's Head. Red stop and look to the Direction where the slipper have been thrown. This time Red is silently in rage with a furious aura, Dong-Yul felt that so he silently give way. Luna walk towards Red not even bothered and slaps his Ex's Face harder. Red didn't budge as he was clouded with anger so he didn't even register to his mind that he is already looking to Luna.

Luna sigh.

She ready her hand to punch Red this time. Luna didn't hold back and throw his heavy punch to Red's right face, Red lost his balance due to the force and fall to the ground. He hold his bleeding lower lip, then he suddenly look up and recognize Luna. Red suddenly throw a big smile and laugh as he saw Luna, making the situation go awkward. Suddenly they heard a lot of steps and saw Ethan and others running towards them. Luna put her hand on her waist.

"Don't worry, Were going to find Aunty" Luna said.

"whoa.. So cool" Yuri whisper to Jae and Jae agreed proudly.
