(English) Last Summer of Club D
Another Summer Vacation for the D Club
For summer vacation, members of the D club went to the summer house of Choi Jinyeong, the head of the club, to finish filming a movie that they hadn't been able to complete the previous year. On the first day of their workshop, the lights suddenly went out while they were playing a game and something cut Yeonseo's face in the darkness. One student said there was something under the table, but the other students thought this was just an illusion.
Yeonseo Almost Died from Hanging
The next day morning, Hong Uijeong, a freshman, suddenly collapsed. Yeonseo sensed a stranger's presence in the hallway and followed the footsteps on the ground. When she turned the corner, she was pulled up to the ceiling by a noose around her neck. She almost died, but Minho heard her screaming and came to save her. A storm started raging that night.
Storm, Landslide, and a Missing Student
While the students were filming a night scene for the movie, Jisu ran into the house. She was covered with mud. Jisu said she and Yura had been coming back from the hospital but Yura disappeared in a landslide. The students in the house started to suspect that Jisu was responsible for Uijeong's collapse and Yura's disappearance. They locked her in a room, but they still had suspicions about one another. As the club members continued to hear a thump coming from somewhere in the house, they felt scared, thinking that Yeonhui, who had died the previous year, must have come back. Just then, Jisu, locked in a room, shouted in fear. The other students went to open the door of the room, but the house started quaking with a thunderous noise and they all fainted.
What Happened to Them Last Year?
After becoming conscious, the students searched for Jisu in the room, which was damaged by a landslide that hit the house. But she was not there. Meanwhile, they found Yura, who they thought was dead, buried in the pile of dirt. Although the D club members rescued her, she was unconscious. That night, Jisu took Yura hostage and threatened other students with a hunting gun. In the meantime, the conflict between Jinyeong and Jisu escalated and the hidden truth about how Yeonhui died so miserably during last year's workshop came to light.

(English) Park Esther (F), the author of Return to the RED HOUSE, was interested in school. With her sensitive writing style, she subtly shows the innermost thoughts and anxiety about competition and discrimination that Korean private school students often experience. Park had a question: if all the smart, distinguished students were locked together somewhere isolated from the world, how would they deal with emotional scars? Perhaps Park was more curious about why there were almost no mystery thrillers about high school students suffering under the world's hardiest studying schedule. Return to the RED HOUSE became a milestone in Korean school mystery books.
