그녀의 | Her

Now that I've grown up, the time has flown by but I wanna rewind. Even if I close my eyes and shout that I want to go back. It won't change, even if I'm only dreaming.

[Dasom Pov]

School had ended and the three of us planned to meet at Taehyun's home.

Taehyun brought us some cookies and tea. If I reconsider what I heard from Taehyun, I feel like Yeonjun's ability is interesting and the most powerful.

"Why don't we ask him to join us?" I suggested gaining a nod from Beomgyu.

"HELL NO! HE ALMOST CHOKED ME TO DEATH!! And he was expelled for molesting a girl, wasn't he? Someone like this is too dangerous!" Taehyun disagreed. My eyes widened as he showed me the video of the girl who was accusing him of molestation. But there was someone among us who watched us talk and wasn't believing the video.

"I've investigated that, and it goes deeper than that... A female student framed him for raping her. And her parents beat him up in school. He was released and cleared of all charges after the police investigated due to a lack of evidence. But the school still expelled him to preserve its reputation." Beomgyu shifted his gaze towards his phone and started scrolling as if he was searching for something.

"How did you know he was framed?" Taehyun questioned while crunching on the cookie.

"I got myself in the gossip group of that school, and heard about it there. Here, take a look." Beomgyu handed him the phone and we both started reading the texts.

[Texts]

I Don't Have A Name
I know about that. That girl transferred
to my school later and would brag about
how she messed up with a male student
she hates.

My Cousin Is In Morocco
Lmao!

Crappy Seven
That girl might look innocent.
But she's rotten deep down.

She always skipped class to mess
around outside and even stole stuff.
She was afraid of punishment when
Yeonjun caught her in the act. So she
framed him for sexual misconduct.
What an evil person, right?

Not So Intelligent
She stole my pencil case, last year!! ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

[End Of Texts]

No wonder he's so sensitive about girls and lying...

"So it seems like we have to start the investigation again. If we can't add Yeonjun to our group chat, how about we add Soobin and Kai?" Beomgyu suggested gaining a nod from both of us.

"It's fine as long as you're not letting Yeonjun join." Taehyun replied as he went to keep the empty dishes in the kitchen.

Why does it feel like more people with abilities are appearing around us after we obtained our Mate 2.0...... and these encounters.... felt more like it's fated instead of being attracted to those with the abilities...

"It's scary the more you think of it... So what did Kwon Minhyuk aka Inspector say about me getting attacked?" Beomgyu questioned with curiosity filled all over his face.

"He said that we might be targeted by a gang of criminals with phone abilities due to our investigation." I paused to sip on the water from the bottle. "He did say that he'll send someone to protect us in secret. But in exchange, we're not allowed to take action on our own again."

We reached the bus stop from where the three of us would part away.

"You can walk with me if you're scared, Kang Taehyun.." Beomgyu suggested only to earn a disgusted look from Taehyun in response.

"I'm going to the hospital as well. Call if something goes wrong." I told them and they both soon left in the opposite direction.

I had only taken a single step but stopped as soon as I heard a notification sound from my phone.

A message...

From an unknown number...?

iMessage
-------------------
Unknown

A fat man trying to catch a train
with a yellow suitcase.

I looked up and saw the same man who was looking at his watch as if he was getting late.

A fat man with a yellow suitcase? Isn't this message straight up body shaming?

The bus for route 107 is red and white.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? I turned and saw that same bus arriving at the station.

The car and the man went bang,
and the yellow box is now red.

[End Of Texting]

Why is this user texting me all that?! I looked towards the bus and the man who started walking. Before I could even understand what the message meant... it was over. The man with the yellow bag was crushed by the bus. I couldn't look at the scene.... I wanted to help but I just couldn't look at the blood which covered the whole place.

- Crap, it seems someone was runover!

- There's been an accident!

- Call the ambulance!!

Was the person texting me, behind all this? What the real hell? The message foretold what happened? Is it... the work of someone with phone abilities too?

My attention went to a little boy who was sobbing while sitting with his head in his knees. What do I do? I'm not that good with kids, and I'm afraid to approach him as I think instead of calming him down, I might end up making him cry even more.

"What's wrong, little boy? Did what happened scared you?" I bent down to his level and finally started my act of calming this kid down.

"N-No." He answered while sobbing even more.

"Were you separated from your family?" I questioned while ruffling his hair. I can't just let a kid be left alone on the street when I know there's a killer roaming around the city.

"N-No." He answered while calming down a bit and rubbing his eyes gently.

"Then why are you crying?" I questioned, in confusion.

"Because... you're going to die... I'm crying for you."
