Ever wish you could go back in time and undo your mistakes? If only you hadn't drawn that clown face on the Bratz doll your best friend got for her eighth birthday, she wouldn't have dropped you for the new girl from Gangnam. And back in ninth grade, you would never have skipped soccer practice to hit the beach if you'd known Coach would bench you for the rest of the season. If only you hadn't made those bad choices, maybe your ex-BFF would have given you that extra front-row ticket to an s fashion show. Or maybe you'd be playing goalie for the national soccer team by now, with a Nike modeling contract and a beach house in Jeju. You could be jet-setting around the pacific instead of sitting in geography class, trying to find it on a map.
In Seoul, fantasies about reversing fate are as common as girls receiving Tiffany heart pendants for their thirteenth birthdays. And eleven former best friends would do anything to travel back in time and make things right. But what if they really could go back? Would they be able to keep their twelfth best friend alive...or is her tragedy part of their destiny?
Sometimes the past holds more questions than answers. And in Seoul, nothing is ever what it seems.
Presenting "Killer", the FINALE SECTION of MURDER MYSTERY
------------------
"You guys are gonna be psyched when I tell you all," Kim Jisoo said to her best friends aside from Kim Seokjin. She straightened her sea-green eyelet T-shirt and was about to say something until Lalisa Manoban asked fixing her blonde curls, "Where is Jin though? You forgot him?"
"Listen, what I will tell you, is gonna stay between the ten of us, we cannot trust Jin," Jisoo said, hoping the others would believe us. "Did I heard that right? You are telling us we cannot trust him, out of all the people, you?" Yoongi asked, not believing Jisoo's words, wasn't she unofficially dating Jin?
Jisoo had called the ten to meet her in the school cafeteria while Jin was busy with Suzy, confirming some doubts related to the play.
"Guys, Jin is most probably XOXO," Jisoo blurted, the statement-making the others choke on their coffee. "What do you mean?" Jimin asked, wiping the corner of his mouth.
"I went to his house yesterday, we were practicing---------------------they all were pictures, of all of us, except him, being stalked. Literally everything, from some of us kissing each other to meeting secretly, everything was there, we all know XOXO has been stalking us for years, it has to be Jin," Jisoo explained the entire situation, the others listening to her attentively and understanding everything.
"So it was Jin all this time," Hoseok said, burying his face in his hands. "We cannot be sure," Namjoon said, noticing how serious Hoseok sounded. "Remember what Somi used to say," Jennie said, hoping one of them would at least remember. The ten said it together,
"Nothing is as it seems,"
"But Jin has the whole proof, literally pictures of us, he is stalking us, isn't that XOXO's task, Jin is xoxo," Lisa stated, trying to make a point. Jungkook who sat next to Lisa whispered, "He is not the only one betraying people,"
Lisa looked at him, thinking he found out. She stood up from her chair and said, "I need to go, I have to submit a file,"
Saying that Lisa left the classroom, her heels clicking on the floor as so many thoughts rushed through her mind. "Hoseok, no offense, but she is acting way too uncanny," Namjoon said, observing Lisa's behavior. The others nodded in agreement, "We cannot trust Lisa as well," Rose blurted out, grabbing the others attention once again.
"What?" Hoseok asked, and then again, Jungkook and Rose began their story, and they even had proof this time. Jimin and Yoongi now thought of it, on Minnie's party Lisa told them that the four are not meant to be trusted, Jin said that the four are betraying them, were they perhaps making sure no one suspects them?
"So we cannot trust Jin and Lisa," Taehyung concluded, as the others nodded hesitantly. The air became awkward once again, the sound of students chatting now seemed non-existent, the others drifted into their thoughts. The school bell rang, bursting the thought bubble of the nine, indicating that the class was about to start.
"See you guys later," Jimin said as the others nodded. The others walked incessantly, but Hoseok remained there. Jisoo kept a hand on his shoulder, and said, "You are not the only one whose crush is being suspected,"
----------- 8 PM: GRILLE RESTAURANT
Rose stood in the line of the grille restaurant, her parents weren't home tonight, meaning it would be just her and Alice. "2 plates of Jokbal please, and kindly pack it," she told the person who stood on the counter, and then someone unexpected stood in the next row
"Oh hi, Rosie,"
She turned her head, and there stood Eunwoo, the person who killed her best friend. It was pathetic how he was a criminal and was moving freely on the roads of Seoul, he was going to marry someone, and was going to have a child, and his wife probably didn't even know that she was living with a murderer all along. The thing that hurt her the most was that she know he was a criminal, but couldn't do anything.
Rose stared at him for a second, without any reply, and thankfully her order quickly arrived. Immediately putting the cash on the counter, and walking out, her steps got faster than usual. But, she stood there frozen when she heard him call out his name. Closing her eyes, cursing the environment, and then opening them, she turned around. He had a small packet in his hand too.
"Why do you always stare at me like that? Have you still not forgotten what happened between us three years back?" he asked, bringing back immense flashbacks. Oh, how did Chaeyoung regret every second of it. She continued to stare at him, emotionless.
"Hey, that was past okay? Now stop staring at me like I am a murderer or somet-" he couldn't complete his sentence when she spoke, "But you are,"
He looked at her, his breath-stopping, words not moving down his throat, feeling parched. She spoke up again, "You know Eunwoo, you cannot hide from the past, you stay hidden for a year or two but one day, the seeker finds you. You can never hide your past, the things you have done,"
"I do-don't understand what you are speaking? Are you into horror movies these days?" he said, feeling anxious.
She smiled, bitterly, "You will understand when I will show the police the video of you killing her,"
"W-w-what video?"
"You are not the only one who knows how to betray people," she said, turning her back and away, but she stopped and said, "And no, I don't watch horror movies. I don't need to because my life is already one,"
