Darker Twist | All of us are dead

╰┈➤ Chapter 06

The next days were pretty uneventful with the occassional pestering of the guys who drags her away to somewhere over the rainbow every chance they get. However, she decided to not say anything because they were always giving her snacks. Who would be in their right mind to decline free snacks from your friends?

How she found herself roaming around the school during class hours is something Hye-wol didn't know too. She just have the sudden urge to walk around the building.

"Pst,"

That's the pst again but Hye-wol ignores it for the nth time. She doesn't want to respond, she's not a dog to respond with that calling.

"Yah!"

The voice was getting louder as her pace increases. This guy keeps pestering her and she's not even happy about it.

But a hand suddenly grabs her from the wrist before she felt herself got pulled inside an empty classroom. Hye-wol yelp when she lost her balance and stumble inside, "Yah! What's wrong with you?!"

She didn't even know why Yoon Gwi-nam keeps following her like a lost puppy since 5 minutes ago. As far as she knows, they didn't even have a civil conversation. So him acting like this infuriates her. But that annoyance slightly mellows down after seeing the beat up appearance of the bully. There's a cut on his cheeks and bruises littered on his face that is slowly getting darker, his white long sleeves that he wore like a coat has a spot of blood on the collar.

Gwi-nam's backstory was scarce but she did include him being physically beaten by the leader of the bully group, Son Myeong-hwan when he didn't get what he wants. That's like the start of his antagonist arc and revengeful side. It was messed up but she didn't know that they were real people living the fictional world she wrote.

The bully suddenly trusted a small first aid kid on her hand, the huge logo of the school gleamed under the fluorescent light. Hye-wol was dumbfounded, "Did you just steal a first aid kit in the school infirmary?"

"Tsk, just do your job," Gwi-nam snap at her.

Hye-wol's forehead creases, "What job? As far as I remember, I don't have a job."

Gwi-nam raises his hand in an attempt of smacking her which made the lass to flinch. However nothing hits her. The bully clears his throat, awkwardly lowering his hand, "Just patch up my wounds and I'll let you go." he said weakly.

Hye-wol roll her eyes but still oblige. She open the first aid kit to start patching him up, "You know, there's an infirmary for a reason. Why do you have to pull me against my will. It's not even that bad." she purposely dab the cotton ball soaked with antiseptic on a particular deep gash on his elbow, resulting for Gwi-nam to hiss.

"Fuck! Be gentle!" the bully curses at her, glaring, but Hye-wol responded by making face.

"Be gentle," the lass mock, "I'm not your fucking slave."

Gwi-nam's expression fell and morph into anger, eyes glaring daggers and that's when Hye-wol realizes who she's talking to. She gulped, hurrying in unwrapping the band-aid and sticking it on the gash. When she's done, she haphazardly throw the trash inside the box and stood up, "Bye!" and then she zooms out.

"Yah! Shim Hye-wol!"

Yoon Gwi-nam unnerved her. He's really living his character arc and Hye-wol is a massive coward so when she heard the heavy footsteps running after her and Gwi-nam's yells for her name, she squeals, "Please don't chase me!"

"Then why are you running?" The bully yell after her, his voice echoing on the hallway.

"Duh~ because you're chasing me!" the lass responded in a matter-of-fact tone.
