The Kim twins

Chapter 22: Fake play date.

Harley talked to Sohee, she explained what was required of her and what were the expectations. Sohee didn't have to think twice about it. She genuinely liked Harley, and the thought that someone could use Jin, was not sitting well with her. She wasn't that close to Harley, yet, she liked the twin. Even though she acted all tough and cold, Harley had a heart of gold. Harley did small things for her roommate, things the girl really appreciated. Things like, having the room cleaned, leaving clean towels in the bathroom or helping her with homework when she was stuck, a gentle smile when the girl would feel sad. Or the time when Sohee was sick and Harley gave her medicine and brought her food. Plus, Sohee would rather have Harley as friend, rather than an enemy. The twin could shred one to pieces if she wanted.

Harley found the copies of a journal, under her pillow. Based on the details written on the pages, it was a small story about the founders of the university. She didn't understand much from it, if she was to be honest. It wasn't something new. Jimin had already explained a bit the history of the place, so she already knew about the murders, yet she failed to see the connection to her.

Why would someone live those pages stuck under her pillow for her to find? She took the pages and went straight to Jin. Jin's mind was amazing at times. He was rational, logical and he saw patterns in everything. He was the best at solving such a puzzle.

"Hey bro." She greeted his brother as she entered his room. "I found this under my pillow." She handed him the pages.

Jin read the papers and narrowed his eyes. "Here says that the university was founded in 1887 by Min Jungyon, Kim Jihoon and Kim Kandae." Harley nodded with her head. It was nothing new. "They were also the first teachers to ever teach. It started as a small building, but grew as more students enrolled. All three were poor, so they combined their savings to start the school. As time progressed, they started arguing about who should win what. So it started their downfall."

"Anything else?" Harley asked, she was chewing her nails. Something still didn't add up.

"It says here, that Kim Jihoon started to be jealous on his friends because they manages to be more influential than him, and with influence came power. Power that Jihoon wanted to have."

"Freaking hell. This sounds like a kdrama." She sighed.

"Jihoon killed his friends in cold blood and kept everything for himself. It also says that there is a letter, a paper of some sorts, like a contract who proves who the real owner is. The killer has it." Jin continued with his explanations.

"Is there a proof that shows that Jihoon committed the crimes, or is he said she said?"

"Apparently, whoever has that contract is the real murderer."

"Anything else?"

"No." Jin put the pages in one of his books. As long as no one knew it was there, it would be safe from stealing. "The question is, why would these pages be left to you?"

"Do you think there is a connection between us and the murderer?"

"Hardly. This happened in 1880's. Why would be relevant now?" Jin didn't see the reason for it. It happened a long time, most of the heirs might be dead by now.

Harley shrugged, she didn't know, but she wanted to know. "What if, and I'm going on a stretch now, what if the families of the deceased are still fighting to get their hands on this university? It makes a lot of money. With money comes power. With power, one might think is invincible."

"All valid reasons." Jin agreed. "Well, I say let's check it out. If we find something, good. If not, still god. No harm no foul."

"Should we talk to Jimin?"
