Mr. Jeong-ho a detective, was in charge of Su-ri's case and after failing with interviewing the other students it was now Ye-jun and her friend's turn.

"that's absurd," Ye-jun said.

"I don't even remember it" Ji-Ho mumbled.

".." So-Jin stared at him with crazy eyes.

"Why are you singling us out," Ye-jun asked with a smile. "Didn't you push Page down the stairs?" he said. Ye-jun's smile faded "I want you to tell me how you bullied her" bringing a pen to the notebook he awaited an answer.

"Do you believe we bully her?" So-Jin said with a laugh.

"I don't know anything," Ji-Ho said with her head down.

"Sir we're good friends with Page"Ye-jun assured "We play pranks on each other al-" He cut her off "Pranks" he questioned, "Then what pranks did you pull to make Su-ri commit suicide".

"Do you have proof?" So-Jin asked "Would you be here if I didn't" So-Jin became quiet.

"It was her choice to kill herself I had nothing to do with it. She didn't wanna repeat the course, her mom forced her to take lessons and her grades were terrible" Ye-jun explained "Maybe it was too much pressure" she said in a mocking voice. "Do you not feel any type of remorse" she stared at him "Maybe it was good that Su-ri died how else would her mom get a big payout? if she sues she might get even half a million yuan and even if Su-ri didn't die and went to college it would take her mom years to sadly earn that much so she should be grateful".

____After school the next day

Ye-jun and her friends ended up getting suspended for pushing her down the stairs but they were gonna come back only for the exam so Page was kinda happy. Page realized nowadays Ye-jun's smile always appeared in the back of her mind and gave her the creeps. She shook her head and continued walking home BUT stopped as she saw Ye-jun's friends propped up against the wall of her house So-Jin was holding a cage full of rats. At first, she thought it was her mind playing tricks but when she turned around to run away Ye-jun appeared from around the corner.

"You called that cop on us didn't you why don't you just follow in Su-ri's footsteps," Ye-jun said. Page held her backpack to her chest "DIE" Ye-jun yelled taking the knife from behind her back and swinging it at Page. Page used her backpack as a shield and pushed her away. She ran past them as they chased her down the stairs that led to a parking garage. "why are you in such a hurry to die" one yelled at her.

Page knew there was no way out of this. She hurries and places her backpack on correctly and dialed Mr.Jeong-ho's phone number he gave it to her for emergencies and this was one of those. "Stop running" She heard. Page felt hopeless as her phone went to voice mail "Shit" She cursed she didn't know what to do when she was met with two paths. She looked around and saw a trash bin being the last safe decision she hurriedly jumped in there.

There was a small peephole she could look out of and see Ye-jun and So-Jin run past. Page sighed as sadness washed over her. Why did this have to happen to her? She watched as Ji-Ho stood there trying to catch her breath. all of a sudden Page's cell phone ranged making her eyes fill with tears. She hurried and shut it off. She looked back out the hole and saw Ji-Ho staring at the trash bin. Before Ji-Ho could make a move Ye-jun and So-Jin came back. Page squeezed her eyes close as tears escaped from them. "Let's just go to her house she'll come back eventually," Ye-jun said as her friends both agreed and followed her back.

Page sat there and cried thinking about where she went wrong.
