Locker no.1 // Jake Sim 심재윤

Carnival wow wow~

It was soon the day of the carnival.Jake and I were mutual now,acquaintances.I wouldn't call us friends yet.We didn't talk much compared to our first encounters,just a simple greeting like "hey".It's not like I bump into him every time I go to the locker.

Strangely,after our first actual encounter with each other,we seem to make eye contact more often.Back then,we barely acknowledged each other's presence.
He was still himself though,confident and egotistic,barely smiling and remaining emotionless.

"Welcome all to the annual carnival.Firstly,we would like to thank everyone for taking part in making this event happen.I promise you that today will be full of fun and excitement.Without further a do,let the carnival begin!"

Confetti rained down,painting the sky rainbow as the colourful banners swayed with the wind,to the rhythm of the loud blaring music.Cheers and claps blended into the music,adding to the excitement in the atmosphere.Neon signs pointed at multiple directions,attracting attention and dilemma on where to go first.

Mini game stalls were set up in the first block,most were there to play games while waiting for their turn for the treasure hunt at the classroom block.

The treasure hunt took place in the 2nd block,requiring students to search high and low for objects in order to exchange for a piece of the map in order to escape.Only when the map is completed will they know where was the exit.Too make it more challenging,all the other exits will be locked and a time limit is given.If the time is up the game will be over.

Afterwards,the food stalls were opened.The aroma of sweet and savoury delights filled the air,making you drool.Trays after trays,placed on the tables,ready for grabs.Piping hot ramyeon,sizzling sausages,crispy chicken.Freshly baked donuts,sugar coated churros,the wide variety made it irresistible and mouth watering.One bite and it melts in your mouth,coating it entirely with all the goodness.

The sun was starting to set,darkness enveloping the school.Flickering,the beautiful fairy lights lit up,illuminating the area,creating a fantastical and magical scene.

"Sunoo hyung!"

Sunoo,Yuna and I looked towards the direction of the voice.

"Jungwon,what's wrong?"

He panted,catching his breath before straightening up right to tell us.

"I lost my phone."

"Huh?"

"I can't find it.I think I left it somewhere.Can you help me find it."

"Aish,where did you lose it"

"I forgot...I told the rest already.They're searching for it here and at the council room."

"We'll go to the other blocks to help you find"

"Thanks hyung."

"Y/n,you search the 2nd block while we search the 1st.okay?"

Before I could even say anything,he took Yuna's hand and went off,leaving me alone.I guess I'm supposed to search the whole 2nd block for his phone,alone.I doubt it's even there.Jungwon didn't really go to the 2nd block cause he was at the front booth,over looking the field.

The sky was pretty dark already and i was quite scared to enter the empty block by myself.

I opened the entrance,slowly peeking my head inside.Turning on my flash,I gulped before entering.To be honest,it looked similar to the haunted houses shown in movies.So quiet,contrasting from the noise outside.Music could still be heard playing in the background.The faded beats and syncopated melody,playing a familiar tune,my favourite song,drunk-dazed.However it did not help me feel better,actually,feeling even more afraid.

Curse you DJ for playing this song,Curse you Nishimura Riki.

My eyes darted left and right,cautiously scanning my surroundings.The feeling of something lurking made me nervous.Paranoid.Heart beating fast,I tightened my grip on the only source of light.

*Swish

I shone my light at the sound of movement.

It was just a sweet wrapper.I sighed,reassuring myself.

Observing my surroundings,I realised where I was.

My locker.That means I had walked pretty much tried looking around the whole area of the block.I should turn back,there's nothing here.

Then...

"Ahhhhhhhhh"

This chapter was a bit short and the cliffhanger...
