Among Us

67

Seungmin's POV

"Are you sure? I thought you are on the same floor as Hana" Jisung said

"That's what you thought but no"

"I heard Hyunjin is staying on the 50th floor and owns the Penthouse" Chan

"Obviously, yes. I heard it from the staffs and he is alone there. He is supposed to be staying there with Hana but Hana's brother refused to let Hana live on the same floor with any of us. He thinks that Hana will be safe if she is not with us"

"What? That could be dangerous. We all know that being alone can also lead to danger. We don't know who to avoid so it's safe to stay together" Jisung

"I know but Jungkook wanted that so we don't have anything to do with it. Besides, we can still monitor Hana from time to time"

"Even us, we suspect one another. How someone can trust us? I don't understand why am I living my life like this?" Chan whispered

"Kim Seungmin" my Father called as he arrived on the floor where I am at

"Good evening, Mr. Kim" Chan greeted and bowed, Jisung did the same and smiled at my Father "How are you?"

"I'm alright, I guess you all can't leave each other? Still, staying in the same place, entered Sanxia Academy, after what happened that night" Father smiled

"Yes, we are still friends trying to find out the real traitor" Jisung

"Jeongin is gone. Isn't he the traitor?" Father asked

"Father, I guess you want to talk to me? Shall we talk then?"

He nodded "I'll see you two when I see you. I just have to discuss something with Seungmin" Father smiled at them once again and bowed "Thank you for your time"

"We are glad to meet you here, Mr. Kim" Jisung smiled and bowed, same goes with Chan.

They both smiled at us and signaled me that they will go upstairs to our friends, and I should follow after. I nodded at them and watched them enter the elevator.

"You entered Sanxia Academy, moved in Sanxia Penthouse, had a fight and even received a punishment? What are you up to?" Father

"Something just-"

"Seungmin, I am not stupid not to know everything. Do you think I will let you just because you wanted to find the killer? It's not easy. It's dangerous for you all. Can't you just let it go? Can't you just stay away from them?" Father

"Father, being one of the main suspects led me to a very horrible life. I have money, I have everything I want but no one wants me aside from my friends, aside from the people of Sanxia. If you are telling me to live ny life away from them I had to face everything alone. Everyone thinks I am the killer, how am I supposed to face those people? Do you think denying and avoiding them will make a change? I want to clear my name. I want to live a peaceful life without getting asked or blamed for what happened"

"Seungmin-" Father

"Why can't you just let me?!"

"It's dangerous! I don't want you to get hurt!" he shouted

Still, I'd rather lose myself than lose them.

It's hard...

"I'll see you next time" Father gave me a smile but his eyes were full or worries "Take care" he got in his car and it drove away

After the crazy talk with him, he finally let me stay at Sanxia. I know he is worried but that won't change a thing. I need to move fast and save us all before it's too late.

Hana got out of car and sighed as she watched it drove away. Whom did she talk to? This late? Was it her brother? Or her Mom? She should be staying away from other people because it's dangerous for her.

"Hana"

She looked at me "Hey, why are you here? Did you just-"

"My Father came and talked to me. So I waited for him to leave. How about you? Whom did you talk to?"

"Ah, it w-was a friend of mine. She wanted to invite me on her birthday. I refused but she insisted so we had to talk that long because she wants me to go" Hana giggled

"Do you wanna get some ice cream and snacks?"

She nodded "Sure, I am also planning to buy some"

We both left the Sanxia Penthouse and walked to the nearest convenience store. It's late and only the streetlights were giving the lights. No one is around. It's only us. Finally.

"How's your Grandmother?" she asked

"Ah, she is fine. She kept asking you after what happened"

Then, another awkward silence.

"Are you and Felix in a relationship or..."

"We are not in a relationship. I don't know who started that rumor but it wasn't true. I was shocked too when I heard it" Hana pouted

"Must be someone who hates you? Ace?"

She looked at me "A-Ace? Why would it be him? I mean yeah he hates us, especially me but he would never start a stupid rumor like that"

"I see. You know him very well"

"I am used to him and been watching him the whole time" Hana giggled

"Hana"

"Hmm?" Hana

"If ever I will ask you something. Will you say yes to me?"

"It depends on what kind of question are you going to ask" Hana

"It's something like-"

She smiled "To become your girlfriend?
