Hyunjin's pov

"Hey, Jeongin, are you going out?", I ask him, when I see him getting ready. 
"Yeah, I'm going out with some friends."

"Oh, cool. What friends?"
"From school. Uhm Kim Suho and Lee Chinsun", answers.

Suddenly I hear a glass crashing behind of us.
We both turn around and see Soomin. She just dropped her glass of water. She looks so scared. She just stares at Jeongin, she looks like she just saw a ghost.

The girl's hand starts shaking.
"W-what did you just say?", she asks.

"Uhm, I just said that I'm going out with my friends from school, Kim Suho and Lee Chinsun. You okay?"

She seems to be so relieved, she breathes again.
"Why do you ask? Is something wrong?", I ask her. I have no idea why she just acted like that.

Does it have something to do with Jeongin's friends? I don't know. Why was she suddenly so shocked? What made her react like that? Or did she misunderstood something? I have so many questions.

"No, no, it's fine", she waved it off.
"Do you know Suho? He has a lot of friends. Or Chinsun?", Jeongin keeps asking. He seems just as confused as I am.

"No, no, it's not important. It's fine."
She goes off to clean up the mess she just made.

Soomin's pov

My heart literally just dropped to the fucking earth core. I was so scared for a moment. I literally thought I'm out of here.

I didn't knew how to act. I thought they found out for a moment. And that would be my end. What do I do if they find out? I don't know.
I really have no idea. It felt like the biggest relief when Jeongin was talking about something different.

"Hyunjin, we have a problem", Chan says.
"What do you mean?", he asks confused.

Chan gives Hyunjin his phone.
I also look over his shoulder.
And my jaw drops.

Chan shows us an article with leaked photos from me and Hyunjin. And there are rumors about us dating.
They are only showing us two together, but it's nothing bad. And you can't recognize me.

"What do we do now?", I ask.
"I mean, you guys are dating", Chan shrugs.
"Yeah, but nobody is supposed to know that. I didn't even tell Jieun!"

"But do you want to lie? What if it comes out?"
"Yeah, we will just be more careful. I really don't want anyone to know."

"Are you sure? You need to be really really careful."
"Yeah."
"Hyunjin, what do you think about that?", Chan asks.

I look at him. I completely forgot he's there. He didn't said a single word the whole time. I don't know if he's even listening to us.

"We should tell them it's a lie and that she's a friend of mine. We're not supposed to date anyways, the dating ban goes until March anyways and I really don't want any trouble."

Chan nods.
"Okay, so I'm gonna tell manager Suho that he should pass on that you guys are friends. But really, be careful."

We both nod.
"I really want the best for you guys." He lays his arms around both of us. I had to smile. He's cares so much about us, it's just too cute. He's like an older brother.

Hyunjin's pov

I couldn't really focus on what Chan told us today. I don't know why, but I still have to think about how Soomin reacted a few days ago when I was with Jeongin.

It just doesn't leave my mind. Something doesn't sit right with that. Soomin looked so terrified. I feel like something is fishy about that. I need to figure out what.

Jeongin talked about his friends. Kim Suho and Lee Chinsun. Chinsun. This name seems kinda familiar. Where do I know this name from?

Mhh. I have no idea. Where could I know it from? I don't know anyone with that name. Any celebrity? Not that I can recall. Where do I know it from? Maybe from the Tv or-

I suddenly remember.

I know where I saw it.

I run into my room and take the newspaper that's laying on the ground.
I search the article with the killed businessman. And there is the name. One of the daughters that also got killed. Her name is Song Chinsun.

Wow.

And what now?
That doesn't really help me.
I mean, it can be a coincidence, it's literally just a first name.

That's kinda disappointing.

Maybe when I ask Soomin again she will tell me what was wrong. But maybe that's also not helpful. I mean she said it wasn't that big of a deal, so why would she say something different now?

And she will think I'm a weirdo because I still think about it. She will think I am obsessed with her and overthink every single situation. And then she will break up with me and-
I should really stop.

I sigh and look at the article again, just because I was a little bit bored.
The Song-family got killed. Just like Soomin's.
I read the article another time.

Soomin told me about her family, that one time on Christmas. It was the only time she really talked about her family. But as I remember she talked about an older sister.

The Song-Family also has two daughters, the younger one is Song Chinsun, 17 years old and the older one is Song Eunsun, 19 years old.

And she talked about a maid, so they must have a little more money. That also fits with the article.
These are a little too much coincidences.

What if Soomin really is Song Chinsun? What if it's really her. It could be possible. The murder happened back in September and that was also the time she came to us.

But why would she lie about her name?
And why didn't she tell us about her family?
But maybe she's not Song Chinsun.
I mean it's a little bit too much fantasy.

There's still so much that doesn't make any sense.
Chinsun is supposed to be dead. And Soomin is pretty much alive. She can't just come back from the death. It's impossible. So it's also impossible that she's Song Chinsung.

And I also don't really want to believe that she's another person.
Soomin would never lie like that to all of us. She just doesn't seem like a person to do that.
