In a small and rural village, a DRONE (with first person point of view) flies around, and it stops above an estranged pension. After staring at it for a while, it turns back and flies away back to a farmhouse. Inside the farmhouse, KIM BUM (19) catches his drone. On the wall, a small projector is projecting what the drone has been recording. When BUM’S FATHER arrives at home, Bum just pretends to be asleep.
That night, Bum is operating his drone to look around the pension again. Bum spots something on the second floor of the pension, which is Yeon-suh’s bedroom, and tries to go closer. However, his father takes off the goggle and forces him to stop using his drone. Off to the broken goggle, Bum curses and runs to the pension.

CUT TO: Inside an Internet Cafe located on a busy street, NAKYUNG (20) is searching through a map to find a bus terminal located in a rural village.
Next to her, MIOK (18) is searching about a club that explores haunted houses. We cut to Nakyung and Miok standing in front of an abandoned house at night with other explorers. When they are inside the house, AH-IN (18) suddenly appears from dark and warns them to leave the house right away. Miok tells Ah-in that Nakyung is still inside, so Ah-in goes back into the house to search for her. When Ah-in spots Nakyung, she recognizes her. Ah-in warns her to walk to the door without looking back, because there is a strong evil spirit behind her. Nakyung seems skeptical about all these spiritual things, but listens to
Ah-in.
FLASHBACK: On a busy road, Ah-in is sitting down alone and listening to music. All of sudden, Yeon-suh sits next to her and offers her to sleep at her house. Yeon-suh takes her to a small apartment where she shares with Nakyung. Both Nakyung and Yeon-suh are very nice to her, so Ah-in begins to open up her to them. Ah-in even tells them how she can feel the spirit of the dead people.
Back to present, Ah-in is in her own home, and wakes up after hearing her drunken MOTHER coming in. Mother informs Ah-in that her father will be out from jail so she should live with her aunt for a while. Ah-in resists living with her aunt, and demands her mother to give back the money she gave earlier. However, Ah-in’s mother has spent all the money gambling. Ah-in goes back to Nakyung’s apartment, where she finds another girl HYESUK (18) getting accused by Nakyung and Miok for stealing their money. Nakyung tells Ah-in that she got a phone call from Yeon-suh a few days ago and Yeon-suh wanted to live with Nakyung and Ah-in again, like the old times. Since then, Nakyung has been suffering from bad nightmares. When Nakyung brings up Yeon-suh’s name, Ah-in bluntly tells her to forget about Yeon-suh.
