Detective Chad's POV

(Next day)

"No one will talk?"

We are currently in the conference room. I called the eight of them after what we found out last night. No one is talking nor confessing about what happened.

Last night, Chan, Jeongin, Minho, Hyunjin, Felix and Changbin asked why are we there. We asked them back about the prank they pulled for almost two weeks. I have a lot of questions I want to ask the but I stopped myself from asking, I wanted everyone to hear everything.

Hana wasn't talking at all when she got out of the computer room. I don't know what happened but I think something is going on with her. We wanted to ask but she seems to be confused and wanted to stay quiet.

"Fine. Everything was a prank. Everything that happened from the first body Hana saw to Sunwoo and Hyunjae. They are all alive" Chan

"Where are they?" Katana asked

"Out of this place, having fun. They have always wanted to leave this place, so we pulled a prank and helped them" Seungmin

"I told you all not to continue this" Hyunjin said

"Why? You also had fun when Hana cried" Jisung laughed

"What did you say?" Hyunjin glared at him

"Remember? When J was found dead, Hana cried, you and Jeongin even cried with him" Jisung

Jeongin laughed "I look crazy"

"Do you all even feel guilty for what you did?" Hana finally talked

I noticed them all looked away from Hana as she talked. All the smiles faded as they heard her talk.

"You all have been playing with everyone here! Do you all know how much we struggled to find out who is the killer?! Yet you are all playing with us! You all bribed the man in the security room and made it look like you are all playing and no one is dead. Can you all even tell the difference between a dead body and someone pretending?"

"Can you tell the difference?" Changbin asked

"It seems like you can't. Are they some good actors and actresses?" Jisung laughed

"How can you all laugh and have fun? While others were scared and afraid. I don't mind if you pull prank on me... but this thing that you all planned, wasn't just for me, but for everyone" Hana

"Why are you all doing this?" Katana asked

"We were bored. You know it's been so long since the killer killed someone. It was before Ashika arrived, right?" Chan

"It's boring and no fun if we will study only" Jeongin laughed

"The killer don't kill anymore, so we do it for him" Changbin faked a smile

"Give me the list of students who joined this stupid prank"

Seungmin stood up and handed me the paper "You are welcome"

Class 2-A:
Bae Sumin
Park Sieun
Song Hyunjoo
Lee Juyeon
Kim Sunwoo
Bae Jacob
Kim Younghoon
Ji Changmin
Moon Kevin
Choi New
Son Eric
Lee Hyunjae
Ju Haknyeon
Lee Sangyeon
Lee Minho
Lee Felix
Bang Chan
Seo Changbin
Han Jisung
Yang Jeongin
Kim Seungmin
Hwang Hyunjin

Class 1-A
Yoon Seeun
Lee Chaeyoung

And another two students from a different class.

I looked at the paper of the victims and crossed out their names once I read their names on the list of those who joined the prank.

Shim Jayoon
Jang Yeeun
Yang Ari
Professor Trina
Professor Eli

"Yoon, J, Ari, Professor Eli and Professor Trina didn't join?"

"They don't want to join" Seungmin

"Who would ask the Professors to join this stupid prank?" Changbin laughed

"What do you mean Ari didn't join?" Jeongin asked

"I have crossed out the names of those who joined the prank from the list of victims. There are five victims who didn't join the prank"

"J didn't join?" Minho asked

"Check it again. That can't be" Hyunjin

I checked the papers again and crossed it out in red pen this time, but the it has the same outcome from earlier.

"You all said Ari joined?!" Jeongin shouted

"Is that why you were okay the next day? You thought your sister is still alive?" Hana asked while glaring

"So, you all didn't believe us when we said the killer visited Hana? That's fucking crazy. You all think those victims were pretending to be dead?" Katana glared at them

"I tried asking J and Yoon to join but they refused. They wanted to be close to Hana" Hyunjae said

"That is why Yoon and J were not scared when they left the room" Hana whispered

"Ari probably knew something. She knew that the killer is real, rhat is why she was so scared" Jeongin

Felix stood up and pulled Chan's collar "You fucking said J joined! Where is she now?!"

"Why didn't you tell me?!" Hyunjin shouted

"She doesn't want to tell you all since she thought you guys will be mad at her" Chan

"No wonder it looks weird when we saw the body first there. We thought any of you bribed them to join with us" Seungmin

"There is no way. We should check those who left. We have to make sure they are alive" Jeongin said as he panicked

"Call someone to check those who left and the real dead bodies" Felix told Hyunjae

One of these eight probably is the one playing. It might be someone acting to be grieving or someone who is acting to be shocked.
