1: The Joker Plots A Murder

Ring...

The phone rang, producing a loud sound which caused the woman to hiss in annoyance. She turned around and faced her 16-year-old son with a 'so-done' expression.
All he did was just shrug at the woman and pick up the call. Once he was done, he wore his slippers and ran towards the door.

"Where are you going this late, Ron?" The woman asked being completely puzzled at his sudden hurriedness. It wasn't very common for anyone to go out so late after midnight at their house but where was this boy going so suddenly?

"Oh, mom! Jiwoon has called me to his house. You see, I had accidentally left my project's homework at his house yesterday. I need to submit it tomorrow so I need it." He smiled with a bubbly expression.

"So late? You know, it's not good to roam about so late! Can't he bring them to school tomorrow? You can collect it from him tomorrow aswell, right?" She suggested while focusing on him. She was worried for him...

"N-No, mom... I need to make some changes to the homework or else the teacher will scold me. Ugh! You won't understand it! I'll explain to you later!" He scoffed carelessly and ran out of the house before she could even utter a letter.

...

The moment he came out of the house, all his smiles and bubbliness disappeared into thin air. Instead, he started to have a void expression on his face and smirked a little.

He soon turned towards a dark alley and entered it recklessly, not caring about anything.

He suddenly stopped and dialed a specific number. The person picked up the call in a single ring and Ron wasn't even a bit surprised.

"Hello." A cold voice spoke on the other side of the call and Ron smirked. He took a deep, cold breath and started speaking.

"Did you finish your part, Jiwoon?" He questioned with a slight obviousness in his voice. The person on the other side just chuckled and answered. "Yeah... I'm already done. I'm still here waiting, come out."

He nodded to himself before cutting the call and walking further. He soon came upon a particular street where all kinds of people were present. Thugs, mafias, murderers, rapers, and all kinds of dirty men but he didn't care. He was a part of them...

His footsteps soon stopped infront of a dark abandoned building which was more like a secret meeting point of some specific thugs. He soon looked around and spotted an old man walking towards him. The man soon reached him and folded his arms at him with a slight smirk plastered to his face.

"What's up, young man? What're you doing here?" He questioned while Ron just gave him a blank expression. His next words made the old man chuckle.

"Where are the girls?"

"Oh boy... You really are very impatient, aren't you? Just wait for some more time and you'll get them soon. You can do whatever you want with them afterwards." He bit his lip and smiled at the boy while all he did was show no emotions.

"Good. Because I don't like delays." He replied while the old man shook his head as if finding it amusing. He soon advanced closer to the boy and whispered something in his right ear which made the boy widen his eyes in shock and surprise.

"Cool... I'll pay you extra for this! I hope they reach me soon then. I'll be taking my leave now. Just be sure to deliver the girls on time." He grinned wickedly and the old man nodded. Soon, he felt an arm snaking its way around his shoulder which made him blankly stare at the person.

"You're finally here, Jiwon." He spoke out looking at his friend. Jiwon nodded and looked back at the old man before speaking.

"So now that our work is completed, we'll be taking our leave. Be sure to do your work or else..." He threatened the old man and he just nodded reluctantly.

...

"What the fuck." Ron muttered. He already bid goodbye to Jiwon and was now going back home through the alley he always uses but something was off... He felt as if someone was behind him... Following him.

"Fuck it!" He gathered up all his courage and finally turned around only to witness a silent, foggy street with no one on it but him. He was all alone...

"I'm probably going crazy..." He shook his head in deep thoughts and proceeded to walk further. His head was lowered down all the time but still, a slight feeling of another presence lingered in his mind...

He ignored it and walked faster but oh boy... it was too late.

He suddenly felt a cold sensation around his form and his throat started to burn as soon as a hand wrapped around his neck. His heart beating very fast and he tried holding the person's hand but surprisingly, something weird happened... He couldn't touch the man's fingers...

"S-Stop..." He croaked out through his parched tongue. By now, his throat was practically being choked by god knows who. He, again and again, tried to get a hold of the person's fingers but like always... His hand passed through it. It was like an illusion. He could feel it, see it, but not touch it.

Suddenly, his whole body got lifted off the ground and he continuously tried to gasp for air while his legs were shaking and moving aggressively as evidence of his desperation.

His eyes rolled back and his body was abruptly thrown to the ground with a loud thud. He started to cough repeatedly and some blood escaped his mouth. His throat was on fire and he could no more feel his neck. It was completely numb...

He quickly turned around and his eyes widened when he saw the figure before him. Even though it was dark but he could see very clearly...

A man whose face was painted in different colors...

The man was wearing colorful clothes and big fangs protruded out of his mouth. Even though the colors on his body were bright, he looked extremely creepy...

Ron's blood became completely cold and there was only one word that left his mouth at that time.

"A J-Joker..."

Instead of tears, blood drops left the 'joker's' eyes and he grinned like a psycho, advancing towards the boy which caused him to crawl backwards but it was too late.

The next thing he knew was, him being floating in the air while his breath got sucked out of his lungs unabling him to even shout. He felt a rush of coldness gush through him when he started to have goosebumps and he soon fainted, not knowing that this time, it was a forever fainting.
