36: Another Test

???'s POV

In the end, nothing changed even after I came to this school.

Well, maybe I never had any intention of changing. After all, I understand myself better than anyone else.

I know everything about myself, including my strengths and weaknesses. I also know that none of the boys or girls genuinely like me.

But it doesn't matter. It doesn't hurt me anymore. Because, for some reason, I want them to feel that way.

As I got out of the shower, I stood and looked at myself in the mirror, drops of water trickling down my skin.

A hint of disgust painted my face as soon as I saw the old wound on my side. Every time I saw that, it was like diving back into my disgusting past.

Why did I have to go through such an awful experience? Why do I have to suffer like this?

My life was destroyed because of that nightmarish day. I lost my youth, my friends, and even myself.

That's why I have to fix that mistake. No matter how much people would hate me, it'll be better than suffering like that again.

I don't need youth. I don't need friends. The most important thing is protecting myself.

I'll do whatever it takes because I'm a parasite, a weak creature that can't survive on its own.

Y/n's POV

After talking with Tzuyu, I returned to my room and rested for a while.

Jihyo was my roommate, but she wasn't there when I arrived.

A few minutes later, my phone rang. I looked at it and saw Ms. Irene calling me.

I got up from the bed and answered the call. "Hello?"

I waited for a response, but seconds had passed, yet there was only silence. I was about to end it when I heard a knock from the call.

[Come in.] I heard Ms. Irene's voice.

The sound of the door opening and closing was the next thing I heard.

[If this is about Y/n, I'm afraid I don't have any recent information.] Momo said.

[Indeed. This is about Y/n. From this day forward, I am dismissing you from spying on her, Momo.] Replied Ms. Irene.

[Huh? What's with the sudden change?]

[There's no need for you to know. You may now leave. I have other matters to attend to.]

The call then ended.

Looks like Ms. Irene kept her word.

I opened the tracker on my phone and searched for Momo.

This feature was convenient. I suddenly remembered when Mina was in danger. The tracker feature, which our school made, helped me save her.

I left the room and made my way toward Momo's location. I turned to a corner and saw her walking toward me, but she was looking down.
