Chapter 19: New repeat
.......
"That reminds me. Don't you have any questions to ask, Y/N? I'm sure you're confused," You heard Nayeon's voice once your eyes shot open, starting a new loop.
"Huh...?" Your voice is filled with fear, and your eyes are begging for help. Sweats beading on your forehead and your body trembles.
"Hm? What's wrong? You look afraid," Sana is right behind you, moving her head to look at you over the shoulder.
ーI have returned... My respawn point is resetting. From Nayeon's dressing room to here... I am still stuck on June 19 but... does this mean it's not over yet...? Give me a break.
"Did you scare them, Sana?" Jihyo scolds.
"I did not!" Sana fights back with a pout.
You weren't paying attention to the ladies in the practice room. Your thoughts were still lingering previously on the Night woods with Mina and Chaeyoung.
You look at your hand that was blown up by a poisonous spike.
It terrified you how you still remember vividly how it happened, giving you chills way down your bones and extremely shivers.
Once that, you are reminded that the deadly spike was from someone in Jackson Cult.
Jackson Cult.
You have started to hate them. For killing Mina, which Mina didn't deserve to be killed.
"Y/N?" Jeongyeon comes forth to your back to grasp your shoulder, giving you buddy support.
Upon glaring at your hand in a dark expression, you bring it over your eyes. "Please tell me..."
"What is it?"
"Someone from Jackson Cult uses poisonous spike to kill human... Who is it...?" You ask in a low tone.
The four ladies stare at each other in confusion and use their minds to help you.
"Isn't that one of the Leaders of the Cult?" Nayeon guesses, who's stroking her chin.
"Yeah, but I can't tell because there are two new leaders of the Cult... ah, don't tell me..." Jihyo realizes.
"I haven't met the Jackson Cult leaders in my life," Jeongyeon confesses that she can't help.
"It's her, right? That woman who had an endless needle with her, and can turn into any kinds of creatures on her will?" Sana gives them a hint.
"One of the Original Leader... I know who she is now. She's that half human, half demon, am I right?" Jihyo answers.
ーHalf human... Half demon... I'm pretty sure Chaeyoung mentioned her name... What was it again...?
"Shin Ryujin?" Jeongyeon seems to know her.
You blink and finally composed yourself with a calm expression, looking strong and fierce.
"Why do you ask?" Nayeon questions, as if reading your mind. She thought you had seen her face to face.
You wanted to explain everything to them but you can't. The time will stop and your brain will toast, burning your flesh to rot. It's not fair, to be the only person to know what was happening in your past trials, knowing you're not the one to fix all these.
"I'm in agony..." A sob escaped from your throat and sits on the floor, putting your head on the knees as if escaping reality.
"Aww, you okay~? Need help?" Sana appears sitting next to you in proximity. Her high pitch voice made it possibly hard to be depressed.
