January 11, 2020 (4 months before the murder)
The five boys had been walking around the newly built Crown University. The giant sinkhole in Seoul was still a problem, but it had calmed down a lot more and people could walk past it without getting sucked in. About 100,000 people had died or gone missing from it.
Taehyun was talking to Beomgyu about an exam while Soobin talked to Yeonjun about murder documentaries. It was a weird interest that Soobin had, but he was always a fan of gorey things. Hence why he watches horror and murder documentaries so much.
And Kai? Well, he was alone. Just in his own world. Except, he had been staring at Taehyun the entire time. Taehyun noticed it, but didn't really question it. Maybe he was just lonely since everyone else was already talking to each other.
"And he would always show the police where he buried the victim's bodies in a yellow raincoat. He was dubbed The Raincoat Killer. It's such an intriguing case!" Soobin said with a smile on his face.
"The fact that the concept of murder helps you calm down is really concerning to me.." Yeonjun said in a sarcastic manner. Was he being sarcastic? Not really. But if you're talking to someone that's calmed down by murder, it's probably best to watch your words.
"It would be cool to be on one of those documentaries." Soobin pouted.
"No it would not! Victim or assassinator, I would not want to be on there!" Yeonjun exclaimed.
"Just think about it! The Manipulator. That's such a catchy title I want it!"
"Oh dear.."
They all continued walking until Taehyun just suddenly stopped in the middle of the hall, staring off into space.
"Tyun? What's wrong?" Beomgyu turned around to look at Taehyun, wondering what he was staring at. When he looked forward, he saw a group of 4 guys hanging out.
Minho, Hyunjin, Jeongin, and Jisung.
Jisung.
Taehyun had never fixed things with Jisung, and he wasn't sure if he was ready to. Risking another argument? No thanks. That's how he was cursed in the first place. Certain boundaries were crossed.

"So you're telling me that you're willing to just leave all of us behind because YOU feel stressed out about society?!"
Jisung and Taehyun were arguing right outside a library about something as petty as Taehyun getting ready to move to the UK.
"1, it's not like I was given much of a choice. My parents are making me do this for their business!" Taehyun yelled back
"So now you care about your parents?!"
"I always have!"
"NO YOU HAVEN'T!"
The tone in Jisung's voice kept getting angrier and angrier. What was Taehyun even doing wrong?
"Even if I was given a choice, it's better than living here where everything I do is constantly criticized!" Taehyun scolded, "Everyone is dependent on ME because I haven't been cursed. All the weight was put on my shoulders because of everyone else's problems. I was always there for you when I couldn't even be there for myself, Han Jisung!"
Jisung rolled his eyes and he scoffed, "All you ever think about is yourself, pero usual."
"ALL I EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WAS YOU AND YOUR HAPPINESS GOD DAMMIT!" Taehyun yelled with tears threatening to spill from his eyes.
"Just think of the last time I ever did something for myself. Treated myself to a nice hangout, going out with friends to relax, even ranting about my own personal problems to you."
"I- well.."
"EXACTLY! You can't think of any. Because it never happened! It was all for you."
Jisung just stood there in silence, still clearly pissed off. But what could he possibly say to that? Absolutely nothing.
"Please, Jisung," Taehyun said, the tears finally falling down his face, "Just let me have this one moment for myself.."
"No."
"Huh?"
"I said no!" Jisung yelled out.
"Because you're fucking selfish! Everything you said just now was all about you. Kang Taehyun. You never thought about Hyunjin, or Minho, or Jeongin, or me."
"Are you fucking serious right now?"
"I am serious! What happened to the promise we made?! That you would help me no matter what?"
"And you never helped me at all! Not even once! That time my mom got into a severe plane crash? Where the hell were you?! Where were you to make me feel better? There was no one there to wipe my tears. I was taking care of myself."
"I would've rather died in a plane crash like your mom than deal with the likes of you."
Taehyun's eyes went wide after hearing what Jisung just said, giving him a loom that screamed 'is he serious right now?'
"What the hell did you just say?"
"Your parents neglected you because of how selfish and bratty you we-"
Before even being able to finish his sentence, Jisung felt a painful sting on his face, and it started to turn red quickly.
Taehyun slapped him.
"Don't you dare talk about my family and my background like that ever again. You don't have the right to and you never will!" Taehyun was full on screaming at the other now, clearly fed up with his behavior.
"MY BACKGROUND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU SINCE ALL YOU EVER WANTED TO DO IN MY LIFE WAS RUIN IT!"
Taehyun's left eye was burning a bright yellow as tears were falling down his eyes.
He was cursed.
