Hers

"It's you" said Heeseung with a trembling voice.
"Are you sure?" asked Jayoung?

Heeseung nodded. He looked terrified.

"What? What did I do?" asked Sunoo, completely lost.
"You... you bit me" slowly whispered Heeseung as his hand reached for the wounds on his neck.
"What?" he asked. "No, I didn't."

"You did say that it was in a dream" said Sunghoon, trying to calm things down.
"Yes, but.." started Heeseung, realizing his dream couldn't be proof that it was Sunoo.

"If it wasn't Sunoo, who was it?" he mumbled.
"Want me to check everyone's teeth?" asked Jayoung.

Heeseung hesitated at first, but then nodded and everyone stood in line in front of her, one by one opening their mouths for her to check their teeth.

Niki went last.

"I don't see anyone here with weird teeth" she concluded. "I think you've been bit by a spider or something like that."
"But.. but two bites aligned like that.. it can't be a coincidence" mumbled Heeseung.
"Are you questioning me?" she asked, out loud and very clearly.

The dining room went silent and tension rose.

The other boys were in shock that Heeseung had dared question Jayoung, the woman who had given them shelter and food. The woman who had saved them.

Her gaze was piercing Heeseung's heart and suddenly it didn't feel like such a good idea to contradict her.

"No, no, of course not" he caved in.
"That's what I thought" she replied, in a lower, yet still articulated voice.

Sunoo took a deep breath. Perhaps he hadn't weird teeth as she had called it, however, he knew he had bit Jungwon.

He had just had a flashback of it while he was in the ceiling room.

As Sunoo tried to organize his thoughts, he felt eyes on him. Jayoung dismissed everyone and they somehow all obeyed her, except for Sunoo.

"Let's talk" she said.

"Why did you cover for me?" asked Sunoo.

He didn't even need to inquire wether she knew about his deed or not. He simply knew she was aware of everything.
Because she always knew everything about them.

She stayed silent as if she was trying to decided what to answer.

"Very well" she said. "It'll soon be over anyways so why don't you I just cut through the chase, right?" she said.

Sunoo unconsciously held his breath.

"I covered for you because you were... working for me" she said.

Sunoo frowned.

"What do you mean working?" he asked.
"Means that... I needed something done and you did it for me" she explained without explaining anything.

Sunoo's head bursted with pain. Something was wrong.

Once again he saw himself attracted to this hidden ceiling room. He didn't know for how long it had been calling him.
Years? But it felt like it was the first day.
