Chapter 14

"Who?", Wendy gasped but laughed.

"Jungkook!", Seulgi whined and took Wendy's blanket to cover her own face.

"That's nice Seul, finally someone who-"

"Don't dare to finish this sentence!", Seulgi interrupted her best friend.

"So it's not nice?"

"No."

They both stayed silent for a moment. Wendy carefully asked: "And what did you answered?"

"I said I need time", Seulgi replied honestly. She wasn't sure if this was the right decision.

"But you said-"

"Yeah, that I don't have feelings for him. Of course I don't have. But I didn't want to reject him. He is like a really good friend to me. A friend you can easily talk with and make out at the same time..."

Wendy chuckled a bit and patted her best friend's back. "At least one person is lucky now."

Although Wendy whispered her last words, Seulgi clearly understood it.

"Who?"

"Hm?"

"Who is lucky now? Do I have a second admire?" Seulgi looked at her with big eyes.

"I don't know", Wendy answered and shrugged her shoulders. But she was smart enough to see through her innocent eyes.

"Son Seungwan, what on earth has happend?", Seulgi pressured her and got closer to her with narrowed eyes.

"Suddenly so curious and pushy Kang?" Wendy smirked and raised one eyebrow.

"Perhaps..." Seulgi hopped around like little child who would get his christmas presents.

"So, it's just that Jisoo asked me about two hours ago if Chiwoo was your boyfriend. I said that he is just your brother, and she seemed to be pretty relieved."

Seulgi immediately stopped to move. Why the hell did Jisoo, the suspicious and most mysterious girl at the school, wants to know if Chiwoo was her boyfriend?

Since she didn't respond, Wendy continued. "Maybe she has a crush on you."

"I don't think so", Seulgi stated, looking straight into Wendy's eyes. She couldn't stay silent anymore. She was first too scared of Irene's sister, and to be honest, she felt bad since she haven't even told her best friend about the recent events and how strange Jisoo really was.

Wendy still looked at her with an indefinable expression.

"Okay Wendy. Please promise me that you won't tell anybody about what I will tell you now." The girl just nodded and squinted her eyes. Seulgi knew she could trust her.

That was the point where she told her everything. About Jisoo's strange interest of the goblets, her night walk with Irene and Chae and at last the fact that she wasn't in her dorm as the fire-alarm started.

During her entire speech, Wendy remained silent to catch everything her best friend told her. After Seulgi ended, she sighed.

"Wow, that's hard."

"True. And this is not the whole thing. Now I even question if Mina or Irene could be somehow involved in the fire." Seulgi looks down to her hands. She felt bad. Pretty bad.

"Okay Seul. At first you shouldn't blame yourself for your thoughts. I would totally think the same if I were you. But can you tell me again what has happened after your little ramble?"

"Sure. I just entered the building with Chae and Irene as I noticed a movement behind me. I told them that I come later, and then I turned around the corner and saw Jisoo holding one of the goblets."

Wendy touched her chin as she analized what Seulgi said.

"And then we meet Mina at the entrance of the girl dorms."

"So, let us think twice about this scene. As you, Irene and Chae left your dorms, everybody was still there", she started.

Seulgi nodded.

"Then you walked to the tomb or whatever. In this time, both Mina and Jisoo had to exit their dorms. And after you returned with Mina, Jisoo already had to be in her dorm back."

"But you can't be sure if Chae really noticed her or not. It's easy to create a fake body out of pillows and blanckets, and it was dark outside." Simultaneously she thought about Mina creating a doll out of her stuff to deceive them.

"Yeah, but I still have confidence in Chae. And besides, Jisoo had enough time to return due to the fact that you all met Mina."

There she was right. In general was this all just so demotivating. This few information wouldn't help them at all. Seulgi sighed and leaned back. Wendy opended her mouth.

"I think we can exclude Mina of your sus list. Yeah, I agree with you that her night-walks are pretty strange, but I know her even longer than you know her."

"Could be. But how the heck couldn't we hear her footsteps or the noises of the door she caused during the time?", Seulgi asked and tilted her head.

"Mina is smart. And to be honest y'all sleep like little babies." Wendy grinned and received a soft slap of her best friend.

"But I can't explain this thingy with Irene and Jisoo. Both seem pretty normal to me." Her gaze switched to the opposite side of the room, Irene's corner. Seulgi had the same expression, at least of Irene.

"Maybe you should just ask them. I mean, it could be total coincidence that they were outside the dorms during the fire. And this thing with Jisoo and the goblets... I believe there exist a plausible explanation too. Just ask her."

Wendy gave her a little smile and patted her shoulder.

"And this problem with Jungkook: Just tell him the truth. It's better for both of you."

Seulgi heavily breathed out and nodded again. "Thank you Wannie." She took her friend into a tight hug. She was really happy to have her. At least she could trust one person of this school!
