"THE SHADOW and THE NIGHT CRAWLER"

Previously...

Baekhyun and Ethan spend their nights together.

"Please be mine, I'll do everything for you!" Baekhyun said, while he was on top of Ethan and they were both naked making love.

And his sister became even more obsessed with the Sigbin creature.

The Continuation...

"Yes, Hal-abeoji. His skills are the same as the creature that we are trying to find. I can feel that this Vigilante will lead us to the creature called Sigbin." She said and her grandpa agreed with her explanation.

"Well, if that's the case, do everything, my grandchild. You need to help your brother with this expedition. And sad to say your brother seems not interested in this expedition." Her grandfather said.

"Hal-abeoji, give him time." Jin Ae said. The old man just sighed and said at the same time.

"I hope one of you will replace me in the company, but before that, we need to make sure that the luck of the family will continue by having at least one Sigbin." Her grandfather said and because of what she heard, Jin Ae's desire to get that creature grew even deeper. His grandfather was about to leave when he stopped because of what she said.

"Hal-abeoji, what if I'll capture the creature will you give me the spot for becoming the next CEO of our company?" Jin Ae said. Her Grandfather laughed at her and said at the same time.

"You're making me laugh Jin Ae. Stop making an illusion, no woman in our family history has caught that creature and I prefer men will be the next CEO." Her grandfather said and immediately left.

"I'll prove to you that I am worthy and I'll claim my rights at the throne." Jin Ae said while she was holding a greenish serum.

Meanwhile, Baekhyun finally finds the house of Ethan. And immediately he knocks on the door.

When the door of the house opened, he saw Ethan who had obviously just woken up.

"Hi good morning, rise and shine!" Baekhyun greeted him and when Ethan saw him, he immediately closed the door.

"Did I say something or my greetings is not good?" Baekhyun said.

Ethan was shocked at what he saw outside of his house.

"How did he find me?" Ethan said while holding his chest as this rapidly throbbed. Suddenly another knock on his front door and he saw Baekhyun still standing outside of his house.

"What he's doing here?" Ethan said and slowly opened the door and greeted Baekhyun.

"Good morning rise and shine also, what I mean what brings you here?" Ethan said while nervously smiling at Baekhyun.

"I just want to see my wife," Baekhyun said and smiled at him.

"He's out of his mind Ethan, he calls you, his wife. don't react, maybe it's the wrong house." Ethan said on his mind and gave another smile at Baekhyun and said.

"What are you talking about, maybe you're in the wrong house. I don't have no companion here, and especially no woman here whom you call, your wife." Ethan said while smiling.

"You went to the wrong house" Ethan added.

"My wife has a hickey on his neck," Baekhyun said while pointing his finger to Ethan's neck.

"OMG! I forgot!" Ethan said as he remembered what happened last night with Baekhyun and he immediately took his shirt off and wrapped this around his neck.

"And he has a hickey on his chest as well," Baekhyun added while smiling at him. When Ethan saw it, he panicked and immediately closed the door but Baekhyun immediately stopped the door held his hand, and said at the same time.

"You'll be mine now and you can't escape from me," Baekhyun said as he brought his face closer to Ethan's face and kissed him quickly. Then Baekhyun enters his house immediately.

"Hey, you're not welcome here!" Ethan said but Baekhyun successfully entered his house.

While at a police station where Akihiko was working.

"Aki, did you know what happened to the victim?" His colleague said.

"Yes, the criminal was still free. Did we have the autopsy report Because I need to check it." Akihiro said then a policewoman approached him and gave the blue folder to him.

"This is the autopsy report of Mrs. Feliciano the last victim of the Night Crawler." The policewoman said.

"Thank you, Olie," Akihiro said to the policewoman.

"Are you guys available later, Michael will treat us later at the bar." The policeman said the name Mario.

"What's the occasion?" Olie asks.

"His son graduated at the university as Magna cum laude," Mario said.

"I'm in. How about Aki?" Olie said, while Aki still remembered what he saw last night. About seeing his best friend Ethan and the K-pop idol Baekhyun. He followed them when they left the bar that night and he saw everything that happened inside the car of Baekhyun.

While he was thinking about what he saw, his friend interrupted what his doing and said at the same time.

"Are you okay Aki?" Olie asks.

"Yeah bro, you, okay?" Mario added.

"Yeah, I'm okay, what did you guys say?" Akihiro said.

The Berbalangs are mythical creatures in Filipino culture, described as ghouls who eat human flesh. They feed by digging up corpses from graveyards or by hunting living humans using flight and other supernatural powers. They are associated with the culture of the smaller towns of Mindanao. The lore of Berbalangs has similarities with that of Aswang creatures.

One night, a group of children came home late at night because they were selling their wares in the market. As they crossed the road to their houses. Suddenly a creature blocked their path and it growled terribly. The monster immediately grabbed the kids but they quickly ran in a different direction.

The oldest one immediately hides in a big tree.

"Lord, help us." The girl said while she was hiding in the big tree but she didn't know the monster was on her back and slowly approached her. When the girl looked behind her back she felt something creepy, and she was terrified of what she saw, the monster immediately grabbed her neck and she was strangled by the monster. And a loud cry echoed all around.

The next morning, Aki's team was investigating the crime scene and Aki saw his friend Ethan roaming around at the crime scene, he immediately approached Ethan.

"E, what are you doing here?" He asks.

"Hi, Aki. Nice to see you again. I'm just roaming around and I saw this scene. What happened?" He asks and smiles at the same.

"Ethan, I know what you are planning, stay away from this case. I don't want you to be involved in this. Let the cops do their job." Akihiro said.

"Okay, cool down Aki. What's wrong with you? You always raise your voice at me. When I call you one time, you hang up on me. And now this? Did I do something to you?" Ethan said but Akihiro just gave him a poker face and said at the same time.

"No, I was very busy at this time. Please, listen to me at this time Ethan. Stay away from this." Akihiro said as he walked away but Ethan stopped him and said.

"Whatever I did, sorry but please don't give me a treatment like this. You're my best friend." Ethan said. Because of what he heard from Ethan, he smiled and he said, "I'll treat you later at the café, the same place later. Sorry E, I'm so stressed right now."

"I understand Aki. See you" Ethan said.

"But please stay away from this, we don't have any idea what type of creature we are dealing with right now," Akihiro said.

"I can help, I can do research," Ethan said while smiling. Akihiro took a breath before he said something.

"Okay, I know you, you're hard-headed. In which way you will help me?" And Ethan immediately replied.

"I'll help you as the shadow and Ethan."

"No, you will help me with this investigation as Ethan, is that clear?" Akihiro said.

"Yes sir," he replied at the same time he gave Akihiro a salute.

On the other side of the story,

"My child, you're Hal-abeoji wants to talk to you." His grandmother said. and Ethan hugged his grandma and said at the same time.

"Is this about finding that creature?" and his grandma nods her head for confirmation.

"Hal-abeoji!!!" Baekhyun shouts and his sister approaches him.

"Brother, can I talk to you in a minute?" Jin Ae said.

While at the old mansion where this was located at the heart of the forest. A naked man standing at the veranda and he said at the same time.

"This hunt is not easy! When I can face him!" He said. and a woman with a kimono appears and replies.

"Mōsukoshi mattekudasai, anata mo kare ni aimasu. Seikakuna toki ni. (wait a little longer, you will meet him soon. At the right time.)" The woman said.
