There's nothing more I want now. I can't even tell if my heart is beating. Instead of having forceful conversations with others, I'd rather enjoy the awkward silence with you. In a world full of lies, the only truth is you.

◖⁠⚆⁠ᴥ⁠⚆⁠◗

Why did I never notice him? His voice is so pleasant. Even after being with him and the boys.. I feel like I don't really know them better. He scared me for a minute.

His voice in real life and thoughts is really different. I stared at him going away. His thoughts don't really seem like the killer's thoughts but it does have some killing intent in it.

"Hello!" I was shocked by the sudden greeting. Beomgyu again?! I need to avoid him at all costs until I find the killer. Right now everyone else is a suspect for me, even my friends. I walked out of the classroom that was already empty since the others went to eat lunch.

"Min Dasom, Stop!! I know you're calling every person and reading their thoughts through your phone. I know that you want to find the person. I know you use Mate 2.0 your superpower is to hear thoughts. You thought that no one would suspect if you just call and hang up-" Wait?! Was he stalking me all day? But even if he did, he wouldn't know whom I called and what I did on my phone. Moreover, he wouldn't know if they picked my call up or not.

"You-" He interrupted my sentence.

"I finally found a Mate 2.0 player like me. We both have super powers! We can work together. We can even become heroes." He explained, grabbing my shoulders and pulling me closer.

"Heroes....?"

"Yeah!"

"What bullsh*t!" I yelled pushing him away.

"Where were those heroes when Bahiyyih got attacked? Where were those heroes when the victims were calling for help?" I questioned again being all furious.

"Th-That's why we'll be powerful if we team up! I'm an information genius-"

"Enough!!!"

"It might just be a fun game for you while it's a game for me too. A blood soaked game with no retries. So I suggest you drop those childish thoughts." I completed, before starting to walk away from the class.

"You don't want another tragedy like that, do you? Bahiyyih and those innocent victims.... But there's only so much one person can do. The fastest way of finding the killer is to work together and reduce the amount of possible victims. I'm sincere about helping."

Why did I stop after hearing it from him? He wasn't wrong tho. My abilities are limited.

"Ok I'll work with you." I agreed, finally turning back to look at him. He walked up to me and pulled me into a hug. His books fell. It's funny because his books were titled as '36 Tricks To Convince Others' and 'Art Of Speech'.

"Your books fell." I informed, before pulling out the hug.

"Ha... thanks, these are pretty good. Some of the tricks are great."

"I believed you. Huh?" I huffed before walking away again.

"But I really wanted to help. It's just that I'm not good with words." He held my right hand from behind making me stop.

"ENOUGH! FIND SOMEONE ELSE IF YOU WANT TO PLAY YOUR HERO GAMES! I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!" I yelled before jerking his hand off.

.

.

.

"Are you having trouble with this problem? Need my help?" Beomgyu spoke while solving the equation for me.

"No need." I replied uninterestedly.

"Why are you standing alone? Do you want to talk to me?" I just gave him a death glare and walked the different direction.

.

.

.

"Why are you eating that crap from the cafeteria? I brought this for you." He insisted while repeating the same words "believe me" I threw that plate away since I wanted him to leave me alone. "Sorry." With that I left the cafeteria.

He followed me around for the rest of the day. He should just give up because I ain't believing him now.

.

.

.

I can't trust anyone right now. Even if it's my friends. After my half day's investigation, Kang Taehyun's thoughts are the strangest. He keeps on repeating the same line "I'll kill her." He isn't definitely talking about me...maybe...or maybe not....

It's class time...

"If A=0 then fx=2x-3, as one function..." She wrote it down on the board and called out some students names to solve it.

Everyone's phone should be off...

Should I call Beomgyu and check up on him? Huh? Why am I thinking about him all of a sudden?

Let me just confirm it.

"You aren't serious about the tests, are you?" Miss. Jiwoo yelled, taking my phone away... more like she snatched it away from me. Why did I even take my phone out during class. Now I gotta listen to a whole damn lecture.

.

.

.

"Take your phone after the tests or tell your parents to get it!" She instructed me while putting my precious phone in her trashy locker.

I can't tell mom about it, she'll beat the shit out of me... Why is this so hard?! So I'll have to wait until next week to get my phone back?

"If you're confiscating it, confiscate my phone instead!" The sudden voice from behind made Miss. Jiwoo as well as me, shocked.

"Give Dasom's phone back, I'll take the punishment instead." I turned around and was astonished by the person.

"B-Beomgyu?!" This guy can do whatever it takes for him just so I could believe him. Don't tell me Miss. Jiwoo is going to give my phone back and take his phone away. Can his plan really work out?
