Son Hyunjoo struts down the pavement, inevitably taking so much attention. But it wasn't just her who's being stared up on. Beside her was Jay, silently following beside her with his hand on his pocket, his other arm hooked around Hyunjoo's shoulders.

They are now outside, taking a leisure afternoon stroll towards the square- Just as Hyunjoo requested.

Truthfully, she wanted to see the idiots' heads displayed on the pole, but she hid her true reason from Jay by simply implying that she wanted to know if there's someone, she knew that was killed at the welcoming party slaughter.

"It's odd for people to look at my way, angel. I don't think I could ever be used to your spotlight." Jay chuckled as he slightly bent down to whisper at Hyunjoo's ear.

"Why don't we just stay somewhere more private? You'd know about the list of the people killed once it's announced by the Byssbots every after class anyway." Jay enticed Hyunjoo, but the girl only shrugged it off.

"We don't have classes 'till tomorrow, I can't bear another hour of not knowing if people I know are either dead or alive." Hyunjoo insisted, walking despite the heaviness of Jay's arm that he intentionally did in an attempt to slow the girl down.

Jay was reluctant, but still followed Hyunjoo nonetheless. For some reasons, he kept his head hung low and he was silent during the whole stroll.

However, when they finally reached the square, an unexpected crowd hindered the way towards the tall poles of heads right at the middle. The commotion was big enough that there was a BYSSALS member overseeing everything from the podium at the very middle of the square; They rarely show up to crowds on a common occurrence.

It turns out that it wasn't only Hyunjoo that came up with the idea of checking whoever died at the cost of their misdemeanors last night.

Fortunately though, the poles were tall enough for Hyunjoo to see the heads even from a considerably far distance.

"You see, the poles stood in spaces divided by the BYSSALS. Left side heads goes to the onrs caught in a coup. The right side goes to the ones who went solo mission on their escape or whatever the fuck they got themselves entangled with the BYSSALS." Jay casually informed, hands in his pockets as he stood right beside Hyunjoo.

It seems like it was obvious how Hyunjoo was trying to find specific heads on the pole.

Thanks to this information, Hyunjoo was able to tell where the heads of her so-called confidants were. There they were, stuck on a single pole.
