Chong jangmi
The girl from my chemistry class, aka the prettiest in school.
I'm surprised she even knows my name, based on the fact I'm a more quiet girl and we've never talked.
What the hee hee. A dead body? Really? She's not kidding? At school? How?
"Wha- are you sure its a human body? Not anything el-" "yea im sure, I gotta go now" and with that she ran off.
God, what's with her
I was going to the coffee shop near our school to clear my head, when a police officer blocked my way.
"Excuse me ma'am, are you going to this school? "
"Yes officer, why? "
"Come with me please, we have a few questions. "
He leaded me to the school garden where they placed a table and two chairs.
I sat down and he started asking me thousands of questions.
"Where were you on Saturday between 11 am and 2 pm? "
"I was at home, cleaning "
"Is there anyone that can prove your whereabouts? "
"My mom and sister are currently on vacation, I live alone. "
"Okay ma'am, you're free to go. Thank you for your time. "
"Wait, can I know what happened? "
"You'll get informed as soon as the case is done. Have a nice day. "
"You too"
I quickly left the place not wanting to talk to any more of those scary officers.
I arrived at the coffee shop and ordered. Then just scrolled on my insta feed.
After I got my coffee and chocolate cake, I went back on my phone to check my notifications. There I saw an unknown number texting me.
Unknown

The game has just begun, sweetie.

What in the world?
I texted all my friends asking If they know this number, none of them recognizing it.
Who could that be and what do they want from me-
This somehow didn't make me feel safe any more so I decided to go home.
Before I left I got another notification.

Attention: all students of the harang high will be excused from school for the next three weeks. Student's may stay at home and wait for further information. Stay safe, high school institute of LA.

At least I have some more time to process this...
And, if jangmi was right, and they did find a body, who did they find?

5th day of isolation at home.

I walked up to the fridge to get another yoghurt to devour when I heard the doorbell.
I went up and opened it, only to see jisung-
"What are you doing here? "
"Hey, I just wanted to check up on you. You haven't answered my texts, nor received them. "
"Oh, sorry I needed some time away from it. Come in"
We both went back inside and sat at the kitchen table.
"Have you heard about the incident at school yet? "
"Kind off, some police officers asked me numerous questions and were not allowed back in school"
"One of my classmates in chemistry told me they found a dead body. I doubt it's true tho. What I find concerning is, whatever happened that day at the janitors office, happened only one hour after we left the school. "
"I know, I was so confused. You didn't tell him we were there tho- right? "
"Of course not dummy. I just said that I was cleaning at that time which wasn't even a lie." "Good, if they find out, well be suspects number 1."
We got ourselves cozy in my bed and watched a few horror movies.
It was around 11 pm when he left to go home.
Next morning,I woke up to see thousands of messages from jisung.
Sungie<3
Y/n, the police is here.
Are you there?
Wha
They wanna take me
Y/n
Help
Please
Omg
They said I killed the staff!
Y/N!

what.... He didn't do anything
So the body was the staff, huh....
I sat down on my table,took out my notebook and immediately started writing down everything I know so far about the crime.
-Saturday
-between 11am and 3pm
- staff member: victim of crime
-found at the janitors office
-most information from jangmi

It's important to always hold details as soon as you get them, to not miss out on information when needed.
If i don't act quickly, jisung will be in jail in no time.
I grabbed my keys and went to the school.
When I arrived I saw that surprisingly nothing was locked,nothing was being secured or anything.
I went inside and to the janitors office.
I wasn't expecting for the staff to still laying there lifelessly, I more like wanted to get some footprints or hair or any type of clues.
But I saw nothing.
Everything was clean and normal,as if nothing had ever happened.
I was mostly surprised at the wall infront of me.
This wall used to have a big hole in it,by a kid who randomly had an anger burst and threw his chair at the janitor.
I turned to leave but then,I saw someone infront of me.
It was a black dressed person,barely taller than me.
A mask covered their face.
"Having fun peeking into the schools private stuff?"
"Who are you."
"You'll know soon enough sweetheart "
With that,the person I recognized as a male,based on his voice, left leaving a picture fall on the floor.
I picked it up and scanned it with my eyes.
It was a normal picture of a basement.
What the heck?
Was this the person who killed the staff?
I ran home and scribbled down all the new gained information.

Next day

I got myself ready to go for a walk,after having numerous calls with my specialist friends, who could possibly help me in this situation.
I arrived at my favorite park,my safe place.
I listened to some music and remembered the night i sat at this bench with jisung.
I hope he's okay...
I relaxed myself and just as I was about to fall asleep, a ball hit me.
I looked down at it,then up to see whose it was.
There was a kid waving at me and I was ready to throw it when I read something on it.
'Tic tac tic tac y/n' wh- I looked at the kid and it was gone.
Okay what- confusion overcame me as I quickly went back home.
At home I fell onto my bed,exhausted.
I looked at the ball again and suddenly a shiver crawled down my spine.
In a heartbeat, I grabbed a box with the name 'my favs <3' and opened it.
I pulled out a letter written by my dad, two years before he passed.
I held both of the items together and sat in shock.
They were identical. And worst of all, the balls letters had the same small mistakes my dad would always make.
I always tried telling him to fix it,but he said it's what presents his personality and let's me always find out who wrote his letters.
A small tear started to roll down my cheek,making the now wet part at first warm,then cold from the air blowing against it.
He's .... Alive??

Next day

Yesterday I cried for hours, before falling right asleep from exhaustion.
I wasn't able to get out of bed the whole day.
My dad used to be my safe place. He was my everything and now seeing him apparently being still alive,brought all the bad memories back.
Jisung still couldn't answer me,not that I thought he could anyways.
I checked my notifications anyways and saw I got another message from the unknown number.
Unknown
I see, you're pretty fast with catching on to my clues.
Meet me at the school's library in one hour.the door's open,as you know;)
(Seen)

Is this,my father? I slowly got out of my bed,not ready to meet the man I've held for dead for years.
I arrived at the dark school library and saw a small candle in the corner of the library.
I went over and saw the figure sit there.
I sat down too.
Scared,I asked him" what do you want from me"
The person started laughing and slowly pulled their mask off their face.
"It's not me, who wants something from you. But my boss. Don't think you're going to get out of this easily,she's a hard one when it's about things she wants."
I looked at him in complete shock.
"Wh- Chan? What are you doing here"
"You really didn't identify my voice the other day y/n? I must say,I'm quite hurt" he said, pretending to wiping tears away as he held his chest.
"Are you behind all this? Did you kill the staff ??? I can't believe you"
"Woah woah woah calm down I didn't do anything yet. Just sending messages"
He smiled at me innocently.
"Wait,but if you didn't do it? Who did it"
I was so confused I didn't even try taking any hints he was sending me.
"You're real Slow today,damn. My boss.don't worry,you'll get to meet her soon enough but for now you gotta have to stay here."
"Oh hell nah man,it's mad scary in here and dark,plus why should I trust you and stay with you NOW?"
"sounds like a you problem,anyways I'll check up on you in an hour. I'm glad you didn't take your phone with you,taking it away from you would've been a fight with a hungry bear."
He giggled and left the library.
Is he nuts or something? As if I'm staying in this madhouse.
I got up to leave,but soon realized this dude has locked me in here.
Ofc he did.
Like a pouty kid,I sat down and waited for time to pass and things to happen.
I wonder how mom and ji-ho are doing....
Days passed and I was still locked up in this place, I did get enough food from Chan and the bed he made me was quite comfortable but there was no way I'd volunteer to stay here any longer.
I got up and reached for one of the windows.
Carefully,I cut the glass with my keys and broke it open.
Luckily the library was at the first floor so I could jump out easily.
When I went to go around the corner to leave, I heard chans voice,on a phone call.
"Yes I got everything under control.she's much more patient than you thought.
If she keeps behaving that way,getting rid of her will be a child's game. Our deal is still up eh?"
"What do you mean what deal, after I got rid of her from jisung,I'll get to have her."
"Hm that's what I thought.see you then."
What? He was planning on separating us and date me? Or was he gonna kill me and use my body for whatever comes to his crazy mind? Whatever it was I was not gonna let that happen to myself.
When I saw him enter the school again I quickly ran away from that place,as far as my legs could take me.
I arrived at a hotel and checked in for 4 days.
At least I was safe now, or so I thought.....
