Hana's POV

(Next day)

"Hana!" Ari shouted

I saw a guy walking towards Ari who is trying her best to survive, I hurriedly stood up and tried to stop the killer but he threw me to the wall.

"Hana! Wake up!" Katana shouted

I slowly opened my eyes and found myself in a white room, with Katana and J sitting beside me.

"What is happening?"

"You were having a bad dream. You were talking and crying. Are you okay?" J explained

"I am fine. What happened? Where is Ari?"

"Ari? Were you with Ari?" Katana asked

I nodded "Jeongin sent her to me and asked me to let Ari stay with me for the night"

"Ari and Isa were found dead this morning" J answered

"What do you mean? She is not-"

That wasn't a dream? The killer really went to my room that night? How come?

"Hana, do you remember anything?" Katana asked

"We were sleeping. Then, I heard Ari shouted my name from
the bathroom. It was so hard to see since the power went off. I just saw a figure of a guy coming towards Ari. I tried my best to stop the guy but he threw me to the wall and I hit my head. I-I don't remember anything"

"Hana, no one knows about what happened in your room. No one knows that Ari was in your room last night. I think the killer doesn't know that Ari was in your room and wanted to see you that night, since everyone knows that I will be staying with J that night. I think he is not there for Ari, but for you. Since Ari found the body first, he killed Ari because she was there" Katana said

"She was found in the laboratory room along with Isa's dead body" J said

"Hana?" Detective Chad entered

"She just woke up" Katana said

"May I know what happened? Katana said you were tied and blindfolded, unconscious" Detective Chad

"Ari was in her room becaue Jeongin sent her there. The killer went to Hana's room without knowing Ari was there as well. I think he wanted to see Hana and Ari saw him. So, he killer her" Katana

"No wondr it looks like Ari tried to defend herself. Not just that, Ari and Isa's time of death were different" Detective Chad said and showed us a picture of the two "Ari died hours before Isa did. It seems like the time gap is big, I am not sure but I think there are two killers. One who killed Ari and the other one who killed Isa"

"I don't understand"

"If you will see, the killer never used roses years ago while the recent deaths have pink roses. He would rather repeat the flower and find a new one. He never used any kind of rose. Isn't it odd?" Detective Chad

"How come there are two killers? The other one is pretending while the other one is the real killer?" J asked

"The original killer stopped when Ashika arrived here. He never killed anyone when Ashika was still alive even after Hana arrived. For no reason, two bodies were found a a day after Hana arrived. Those deaths when Hana arrived wasn't because of the killer, but someone pretending" Detective Chad

The real killer uses other roses except for pink roses.

Who is the pretending?

All I can hear is his loud cries from the inside of his room.

It's breaktime but Jeongin isn't even showing up. He didn't attend our classes and didn't go out. They said Jeongin cried so hard when he saw Ari's body.

I am currently leaning on the door, waiting for him to finish crying so I can go inside and comfort him. I know it'll be hard for him, since Ari is his sister. I just don't understand why does the killer have to kill everyone?

Nothing will happen if I will stay here and wait for him.

I opened the door, myself, and went inside. He is leaning on his bed as he is sitting on the floor. Tears are falling from his eyes while staring out of nowhere.

"It's lunch time" I said and sat beside him

He closed his eyes "Sorry, you were hurt as well"

"It's not her fault or your fault. The killer did that for the second time. He tied me and blindfolded me on the floor. I think he was there for me not for Ari"

"Everything is a mess" he whispered

I caress his back slowly "It's okay. You can always cry when you can't take it anymore. It'll be hard for you to accept it, but it's better to move forward and remember her in many ways. I am sure Ari won't be happy to see you crying and making yourself suffer"

"I am scared that I will lose everyone around me. I am scared to see myself fighting alone" he whispered

Jeongin is the same guy in my dream. He doesn't want everyone to leave and suffer. Will he sacrifice again? Like what he did in my dream?

"I have to go. Just tell me if you want to eat. I'll go with you. I'll excuse you to our Professors. I am here always"

I stood up and was about to go-

He held my hand tight "I-I'm... sorry, Hana. Forgive me, please"
