It's the annual color night at Aiepathy Academy. Every year they hold it grandly and decorate the night with beautiful dances and songs choreographed by them. Lights were glimmering on the stage. When all the chief guests arrived on the red carpet, the whole hall was filled with parents, students, well-wishers, and the audience. Showing their charms and talents, they announced the winners of each category.

So, it's time to announce the all-around winner. The announcer, Maria, the most popular announcer in the country, gladly welcomed the winner, Seon Yeri, to the stage to perform her grandiose ballet. "We welcome the all-around winner of the Aiepathy academy, Seon Yeri, to illuminate this colorful night."

After a huge round of applause, the stage curtains closed while the sweet piano background sound started to play. The stage curtains slowly opened with Seon Yeri spotted with the lights in the middle of the stage. Her hands and body perfectly moved according to the rhythm of the piano music. Everyone was calmly watching the soothing dance she was performing perfectly, while the owner of Aiepathy Academy scolded his daughter for not being able to get to that place.

"You pathetic creature, why can't you be at the top of this academy and protect our family name?" Kim Jieun gritted her teeth when she heard her father's whisper yell. Inaudibly, she mumbled, "She won't be at her place for so long." while an evil smile slightly decorated her face.

She slowly stood from her seat without anyone noticing she went backstage. Before Yeri finished her ballet, she came to the middle of the stage while spinning like a fairy. Jieun's evil mind noticed the metal bar which was hanging on the back of Yeri was attached to some ropes behind her. "Bye-bye, dear dancing queen." She took her pocket knife and cut one rope slightly and burned another rope with her lighter.

In the next split second, the metal bar crashed onto Yeri's legs and she cried in unexpected pain. The whole audience gasped and stood there like statues while Jieun secretly went back to her seat. The emergency team called an ambulance and took her to the hospital, and the rest of the audience went to their homes, not disturbing the investigation.

The owner of Aiepathy Academy, Mr. Kim, helped investigators who were already rushing backstage because Yeri was the daughter of an Army General. "Our helpers are always very alert about the security of these things, as this is a dance academy. I'm sure this is not a fault of theirs as they usually check them more than five times a day. " Mr. Kim tried to explain the guard of his company to investigators.

"We are well-known about that Mr. Kim, but this is not a kind of mistake by helpers. Someone intentionally did this to Miss Seon. Look at those ropes. One was cut with a sharp object, maybe a knife or something like that, and the other one was burned. " The investigator showed the ropes to Mr. Kim. They collected other evidence and when they were about to leave to get fingerprints. Mr.Seon arrived at the place.
