’Ghost?’
Rayen’s lips twitched.
’Aren’t we the ghosts here?’
Besides, it was already six in the morning. Would ghosts still be roaming at this time of day?
Well, technically, they were considered ghosts, so ghosts do indeed roam around at this time of day, but still...
Seeing the doubt in Rayen’s face, Yeo Haru grabbed him by his arm.
"It’s true, brother. We... We saw a ghost lady inside!" Yeo Haru frantically explained.
Beside him, Iris also shivered in fear.
"....." Rayen was even more speechless. "Are you really sure what you saw was a ghost and not a staff member or maybe the others?"
"That..." Yeo Haru muttered, gradually calming down.
Xi Huan interrupted, "It’s impossible to be one of the other members. No one among us has long hair anymore."
"Hmm..."
"I told you, what we saw was a ghost. Right after we came in, someone else opened the door behind us, but suddenly, the person disappeared before our eyes." Iris was almost rapping as she spoke.
"You didn’t see what they looked like?"
The three of them shook their heads.
"It was too dark to see," Yeo Haru explained.
"We just saw she has long hair," Xi Huan followed suit.
"And she was wearing a long white gown," Iris also said.
"Fine. Let me in and see."
Stepping forward from the group, Rayen held the handle of the door.
"Brother, be careful."
Rayen nodded.
What was there to be afraid of? Is there something even scarier than seeing a rotting corpse hanging on a ceiling?
Recalling that scene, he shook his head.
Liam had really done a great deal on tempering his mind, that damn guy.
Just as he opened the door to the practice room, he was greeted with the cold, dry air from the air conditioner. However, there was nothing inside — It was still the usual, slightly dark practice room.
"There’s nothing here," Rayen reported.
"We told you already! She disappeared before our eyes!" Iris exclaimed.
Beside her, Xi Huan and Yeo Haru simultaneously nodded their heads. Watching the three of them, Rayen’s already throbbing head seemed to hurt even more.

Just then, Ren and Liam also arrived on the floor.
"What’s going on here?" Ren asked, yawning.
Xi Huan immediately reported to the two what had just happened.
"A ghost?" Ren’s sleepiness immediately dissipated.
"Yes."
Gradually, Ren’s lips turned up, then he laughed out loud, turning to the pale Yeo Haru.
"Hey, didn’t you say you want to think of some content for the next vlog?"
Yeo Haru tilted his head in puzzlement.
Was this really the time to think about the vlog?
"What do you think about ghost hunting?" Ren asked, unusually spirited.
Yeo Haru blinked. But then, he gradually realized what Ren just said.
With eyes shining, Yeo Haru exclaimed, "Good! Let’s do it!"
At the side, Rayen watched dumbfounded.
’Didn’t we come here to practice?’
However, Ren and Yeo Haru didn’t mind them at all. They were already engaged in a serious conversation.
"Wait, I’ll take a look at the shop to see if they have any ghost hunting devices."
"Sure!"
The two busied themselves.
Rayen sighed. He decided to ignore them and just step inside. But then, his collar was suddenly tugged from behind.
"Where are you going?" Ren asked.
Annoyed, Rayen cursed. "Beep. Let go. I’m going to practice."
"No. You stay here."
Just as Ren said that, a book page had already appeared in his hand. Ren read it with his eyes.
"Perfect." As he said that, the device manifested in his hands, sleek and dark.
Rayen gritted his teeth as he was yanked back behind the group.
Yeo Haru was already setting up the camera, but Ren turned back to him.
"Let’s wait for the rest before we head in," Ren said.
Yeo Haru nodded.
Five minutes later, Adrian and Mr. Big News finally arrived. When they saw the other six gathering in front of the room instead of going inside, a frown gradually formed on their foreheads.
Adrian glanced at Liam. "What’s happening?"
Liam shrugged. "Ghost hunting."
"....."
Mr. Big News blinked in confusion.
’Aren’t we the ghosts here?’
He had the same thought as Rayen did earlier. But before he could even voice it out, Ren also mentioned what he was planning to do with Yeo Haru.
Thinking he could laze around some more, Adrian didn’t stop either of them.
"Lead the way, Eyeliner Babe."
’It’s definitely not a good idea to make this lazy ass lead us...’
With Adrian’s permission, Ren indeed led the way. Meanwhile, Yeo Haru activated the camera with a serious face.
Facing the lens, he whispered to the imaginary fans, "Today, our scaredy bro found a ghost."
Despite her pale face, Iris found a chance to kick Yeo Haru in the foot.
"Ouch!"
Iris glared at him, seemingly hissing like a cat.
Meanwhile, Rayen was shaking his head inwardly at Yeo Haru.
’Weren’t you also scared earlier?’
Ren ignored the two, not letting them ruin the good atmosphere. As he opened the door to the practice room, he pointed his device toward their front.
"Hello, is anyone there?"
Ren’s voice echoed in the dark room, but the device remained silent. He gestured for the others to go in as he stepped inside.
Meanwhile, Rayen followed behind the group. Before he went in, he glanced back toward the elevator, seemingly waiting for something.
’Didn’t they say they would wait for everyone?’
Just before the door could fully close, Rayen followed the others inside.
"Is anyone here?" Ren spoke with the air again.
The device remained silent. Of course it would. At this point in their life, Rayen would be a fool to even believe scary ghosts exist.
But watching this scene, Rayen was reminded of the horror livestream that he once watched. The Ren with them right now really seemed like a professional ghost expert just like in those livestreams.
As Rayen passed by the door frame, he suddenly felt a cold stream of air passing him. He rubbed his arms to ease the coldness.
The others also seemed to feel the same as they repeated Rayen’s actions.
In the darkness, aside from the sounds of their footsteps, no one made a sound. Ren also shut his mouth as he continued to watch the device in his hand.
Xi Huan grabbed Iris in fear. The two trembled, hugging each other. However, Xi Huan was still grinning from ear to ear.
Was she really afraid or was she enjoying this?
Once again, Ren spoke, "If there’s someone here, you can talk to us. Do you have any grievances? Any regrets? We’re not here to harm you."
Just then, a low groan resounded in the room. Everyone halted in their place, stiff.
"My grievances..." A raspy voice said, followed by a dark figure slowly standing up in the corner.
But before it could even finish...
"Ahhh!!!"
A scream resounded in the room — it was Xi Huan. Iris’s knees buckled as Mr. Big News caught her from behind.
"Where? What? Where’s the ghost?!" Yeo Haru panicked, sweeping the camera everywhere.
As the scream faded away, the lights of the practice room were turned on.
"My grievance is... You just woke me up."
