15|Burn It Away

It was the next day with a few more rounds of exams left to finish. The skies weren't sunny and clear, instead they were gloomy with dark clouds pouring heavy rain. The lack of sunlight was because it was all being shrouded by the thick clouds that made the atmosphere dark.

To Class 4, the ghost was kind enough to not disturb them again in the day throughout their exams.

When afternoon came, the sky was still gloomy with rain, which was now accompanied by thunder and lightning. The air turned cold which had students rubbing on their hands and arms for much needed warmth.

Their exams were now finished but they weren't permitted to leave their classrooms yet, much to their dismay.

It was quiet. Just the mild sounds of their chatting. The peace was soon disturbed by an eerie distorted humming voice. Heads quickly turned around the room to see who was humming in such a haunting way.

"What is that?" Junkyu asked.

"What is it this time?" Hyunsuk whined upon realizing the ghost was in action again.

"Who-who's humming? Stop that! It sounds creepy enough already." Jeongwoo blocked his ears.

"I think it's coming from the lockers." Haruto pointed.

Only Junkyu had the courage to get up and check. He started opening every locker, those that were unlocked. Each one that he opened contained normal school stationery supplies and books. Everyone watched with fearful anticipation of where could that humming even possibly be coming from. Junkyu soon reached his own locker and once he opened it he held his breath as he looked at a headless stuffed animal inside. He took it out with shaky hands. The humming increased in volume once he found it.

"What's that?" Jihoon asked carefully.

Junkyu screamed when he saw a drop of thick red liquid pour out its decapitated neck. He threw it to the floor and backed away.

"Stop it! Stop it!" Junkyu screamed.

The stuffed toy landed right by Haruto's side. He picked it up and realized it was a koala stuffed animal that Junkyu owned.

"The ghost is going too far." Jihoon hissed once he recognized the stuffed animal too.

Junkyu started crying as the humming continued. He stood up and took the stuffed toy back and threw it to the floor. He repeatedly stomped on it, hoping to end its awful sounds.

Junghwan secretly smiled and finished recording everything.

The humming came from a tiny recorder he implanted on the toy he decapitated. He was intent on getting content for his viewers.

Jihoon soon got up and pulled Junkyu away from the toy. He held him close in an embrace and comforted his best friend.

"Jihoonaa..." Junkyu cried.

"Shhh... it's okay. It won't hurt you. I'll protect you Kyu." Jihoon muttered to his friend.

Hyunsuk watched with an ache in his heart the intimate display between the two. It broke his heart how close they were. However, he shoved his jealous feelings aside, thinking he can't jump into conclusions as Junkyu was in need of comfort just right after what he experienced.

The headless stuffed animal had now stopped humming. The recorder inside was now broken because of Junkyu's harsh stomping. The red liquid from it splattered to the floor creating a grueling scene.

Doyoung had stood up from his seat to see the aftermath. He grimaced in annoyance and disgust from the mess that was made. He quickly ordered the assigned cleaners for that day to clean the mess up.
