As Shanelle arrived home from the shoot, she immediately went to her room, took a bath and went out. She saw Chihoon at the kitchen cooking something. She smiled because she didn't think that he can look even more handsome wearing an apron. She went near him. "Monster Chi, is it because you've lived for many years that you already mastered how to cook porridge? Is that for me?" She said but the guy didn't answered him.
She grins widely at what she's seeing. "I see. It's your first time making it, right? I knew it. I have a special place in your heart," she said giggling and took one bowl and took a sip.
Her face immediately reddens as her taste buds realizes the taste of the porridge that Chihoon made. It's the worst taste she ever tasted.
Chihoon is watching the girl's reaction. "It's my first time doing it so it might taste bad."
Shanelle controlled herself not to vomit infront of him. She smiled awkwardly at him then runs fast to the ref and drinks water. She finishes one bottle then walks weakly near him. "On which planet did you learn to make dark cuisines?"
Chihoon took the cookbook and reads it. "It says here what is needed is rice, water and salt then cook for one hour. What did I do wrong?"
"How many scoops of salt did you put there?"
"The book says on the less side, so I put less than the rice."
Shanelle's upper lips twitched at what he said. "Seriously? Do you know that the amount of salt you put in there is enough to preserve me so that I won't rot for 200 years? Even that dummy Gabrielle knows..." She stops when she realizes what name she uttered. She pursed her lips the shakes her head. "Nevermind. Just clean your mess here," she said and left him.
Chihoon shrugged his head then started to clean the kitchen. Suddenly his phone rang. He reads the message. A photo was sent where he is standing on an old antic wall which he thought was taken more than 100 years ago. He smiles. He thought that he is nearing in finding his enemy.

"Boss, I already sent to him the picture of the painting and the location of the meeting tomorrow," the guy said to his boss.
"Good. Tomorow we will pull the net. It must be done perfectly without anything amiss."

Five meters from the filming site, an avid fan of Shanelle is secretly watching her as she is shooting a scene. "Woah, she's really beautiful." He is busy looking at him when her sister grabbed his shoulders. "S-sis? What are you doing here?"
"And you really have the guts to question me? What are YOU doing here?! Come here!" She piches his ears and pulled him.
"Ah, sis! It hurts! Ahh!" The guy screams at what his sister did.
"You cut class again! Last time you cut class to sit at the hospital whole day and now it is to stalk an artist?!" She spanked his shoulder. "Aron James did you know how many times you failed your college entance test?! Can't you be serious for once?!"
"Sis, that's not it. I'm just guarding my love for my idol. You know guarding love," he said imagining being with his idol.
"Guarding love?!" She spanked her brother's shoulder many times. "Did you know that you're like a stalker in what you're doing huh? Are you a pervert? Are you?!"
"Ouch! Ok! Ok, I'll go home, stop spanking me!" Aron James said as her sister continously spanked him.
"Go! I'll really kill you once I'll see you near here again," she said. Her brother then runs fast away from the place.
At the filming site, Shanelle was currently sitting down beside Jam while waiting for her scene. She tilts her head when she felt Chihoon's heartbeat. Monster Chi is within the sensing range, she thought as she feels her chest. She looks around to look for him, but she can't see him. He's not here to visit, right? Don't tell me, he's here to laugh at my acting skills? Shanelle, don't be scared. Show him how good you are, she thought again.
She then went to the shooting venue with Jam holding the umbrealla for her.
"Okay, 3, 2, 1, Action!"
"Did you forget that you changed me into a monster? Moreover, don't you know how much I have done for you?" Shanelle said delivering her lines.
"Since you have done so much, this part doesn't matter anymore," the actor said full of emotions. He held Shanelle's right hand and cut it with a knife.
"Ahhh!!!" Shanelle loudly screams because of so much blood that drips from her hand. Her hand is really cut. The actor used a real knife.
The knife suddenly fell down from the actor's shaky hands. He shakes his head many times because he didn't know that he is holding a real knife.
"Why does it bleed? What happened?!" The director stand up while the staffs run towards Shanelle to do first aid.
"It's really bleeding! How come?" The staffs are in the state of panic because of what happened.
"Take her to the hospital! Quickly!" The director screams at the staffs so they quickly helps her in going to the car.
On the other hand, Chihoon is walking to where he will meet the painting owner. He stops at an unopenend establishment where no people can be seem anywhere. He entered the place and he see there's no one around.
He opens a glass door and entered inside. He walks around to look for that person he is going to meet. Until he stops at an elevator. He pushed the button open and went inside.
Suddenly, he felt a sudden pain in his chest. His heartbeat is not normal. "Shanelle..." He uttered because she might be in danger. He pushed the button to open the elevator but it didn't respond. He pushed it again, but still it didn't open.
He started to feel that there's something bad going on. A steel door suddenly went down to block the elevator door to be opened. Then the elevator started to shake, and cold air started to fill the elevator. He knows that his weakness is cold temperature. He might die or return to dormancy when he's within a cold surrounding.
He tried to punch the elevator door, but it didn't even budge. He looks for his phone, but there's no signal in it. What the hell is happening? He thought. He tried to open the elevator door, but when he opened it, a steel door is there blocking his way outside.
The elevator room started to be cold. He knows it. His body is not immune to cold. His body will eventually weaken until he dies. He tried to lift the door from the ground, but because of the cold atmosphere, his strength is starting to fade.
There he realized that he has been trapped by his enemy. He looks at the ceiling where the cold air is coming from. Then he saw te CCTV there. He's watching me, he thought.

"Boss this building is not yet open to the public. There won't be anyone coming in or out," they guy told his boss who's busy watching the weaking Chihoon inside the elevator.
"Increase the distance. Don't let anyone get near the place," the boss said. "The less people know about this, the better it is."
"Okay boss," the guy said and left the place.
The boss drinks wine as he is looking at Chihoon. "Arrogant monster. After you will freeze to death, I'll drain your blood again. Let's see if you still can be arrogant," he chuckled lightly.

On the other hand, Shanelle has been treated at the hospital and her wound has been dressed . The director was so mad because of what happened.
"What the hell happened huh?! You're the prop director! You're supposed to prepare the dagger with a sealed blade, how come it was real?!" The director screamed at the prop director's face.
The prop director shakes his head. "Director, that's not the knife that I prepared. I didn't know anything about it."
The director massages his forehead in annoyance. "You are the prop director. If you don't know, then who will? Should the lighting director know? Or the sound director?"
"M-maybe this was done by some crazy fan or some actor that has a grudge against Miss Shanelle, Director," the prop director said with shaky voice.
"You---"
"I'm here now Director," Shanelle said as she is walking side by side with Jam to where the director is. "Don't get mad at her anymore Director. Maybe she didn't really is behind what happened."
"Are you okay now? How about your hand?" The director asked worriedly.
"The wound is not deep. The doctor said I just should not wet this with water yet. But what I'm worried about is the shooting---"
"Don't think about that. I'll just film with the others. Just rest so that you will recover faster. I already called the police to investigate what happened. C'mon you go home now."
"Thanks Director. We'll go home," Shanelle said and walks with Jam towards the car.
While they are on their way home, Shanelle feels weird the way her heart beats. Why is my heart beating fast? What does Monster Chi doing? She thought.
She didn't know that inside the elevator, Chihoon is already feeling really cold. He was also being surrounded by ice smoke because of the very cold temperature. He can't do anything but to hug himself and just wait for his death.
Shanelle continuously feeling her chest because of the fast and loud beating of her heart. When the car passed by a place, she felt the sudden fading of Chihoon's heartbeat. "Stop the car," she said to Jam that the guy did so.
She opened the window and looks at the place. I don't hear any heartbeat sound. Could it be that Monster Chi is within hundred meters? She thought.
"Shanshan, do you want to go outside?" Jam asked.
Shanelle just shook her head and sits properly. "I want to go home now and rest."

On the other hand, a suspicious person entered the hospital where Shanelle was treated and picked the cotton balls that was used to clean Shanelle's wound.
________
The boss is busy watching how Chihoon fights the coldness of the elevator room. He saw him looks at the camera and suddenly punches it causing the screen of his laptop fades and he can't see Chihoon anymore.
"You didn't want me to see how you panic huh? Then let's just see each other tomorrow."

At Park's residence, Shanelle is currently sitting down the sofa while watching the news where the incident that happened to her was being featured.
"We heard that Miss Shanelle Park was injured on location due to someone switching the prop knife with a real knife. Thankfullu it was just a scene scratching the palm. If it has been a scene piercing the heart, we can't imagine the consequence."
"Yes indeed. It was an unlucky year for Miss Shanelle. We suggest for Miss Shanelle to find a master that will help her calm her fate."
Shanelle scoffed and just switched off the TV. "What? Unlucky year? I've lived for 23 years and every year was my unlucky year. And what's the problem of fans nowadays? Didn't you have money to treat your mental problems? Can't you just take a crazy pill and pervert pill three times a day?" She just lays down the sofa and tries to sleep.

"How many times will I tell you that I didn't do that to Miss Shanelle. You arrested the wrong person," Aron James said as he is being interrogated at the police station regarding what happened at the filming site. "Miss Shanelle is my goddess, why will I do such thing? I just went there to pick up some props to post on social media but I didn't switch the knife."
The two police looks at each other then sighs because they can't get any useful information from the teenager.
