It was as if her whole existence was that of a butterfly - beautiful, carefree, joyful. Then it all fell apart and that beauty, carefree nature, and joy dissipated into the never ending abyss.
Cue the betrayal of a moth.

A spark died in Chisoo's chest as she set her guitar case outside her bedroom door. She looked at it for a moment until she heard people coming up the stairs, then she looked up at see Haknyeon, Younghoon, and Sangyeon.
Younghoon stopped in the middle of the hallway. "Why are you putting your guitar out here?"
Chisoo shrugged and fixed her backpack strap. "Makes me nauseous when I look at it."
She walked passed them and down the stairs, while Haknyeon picked up the guitar case and lugged it to his bedroom.
"Did she play the guitar or something?" Sangyeon questioned as he leaned against Haknyeon's door frame.
"Yeah, and she's good, too," the younger shook his head. "It was also the last thing she received from her brother."
"Brother," Sangyeon mumbled to himself. "Do you have any videos of her playing?"
"Younghoon does."
But Younghoon already had his phone out and had picked a video. It was his favorite - one where Chisoo was smiling while she did what she loved, covering 'AuRoRa' by ONEWE. As Sangyeon watched the video, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed for some reason. Maybe because he didn't expect such a different person compared to the one he 'knew', albeit, not well.
Younghoon turned his phone off and looked down at the guitar case. "I told her she should pick it up again, but she was against the idea."
"She should," Sangyeon stuck his hands in his pocket, frustrated for a reason he couldn't place. "She's really good."
Chisoo slammed her locker shut, the noise echoing through the semi-empty hallway. She gripped the piece of paper in her hand as she read it over and over again.
'Yoo Family Murdered in Fatal Car Wreck?'
Did everyone around her really think she would murder her whole family?
She pushed her hair back and crumpled up the suggestive message. How many more were there?
The bell for lunch rang and she hurried off to the lunchroom. Her pace was quicker, angrier, than it ever had been, and Sangyeon almost panicked when he saw her making a beeline for the table he was at.
Haknyeon and Younghoon watched from their corner of the cafeteria, not worried too much. Chisoo wasn't much of a talker, and she definitely wasn't one to cause a scene. Or at least they thought.
