Heeseungʼs POV
The alarm rang several times, but I didn't really want to get up. I was still sleepy and tired. In addition to the storm I didn't remember exactly what happened during the night, but I must have slept little. I checked the time.
«Oh fuck it's already 7:30! I'll be late for school»
I sat down and took my sweatshirt in a hurry.
«I'll stay at home today»
Who the hell had spoken with that gruff low voice? I turned slowly to see whose voice it was and...
«Sunghoon!»
I jumped up, and I almost screamed like when you find some ugly bugs two inches from your face. It's impossible, it can't be true that he slept with me if until the night before he hated me to death. Was he jerking me around?
«Sunghoon, what the fuck are you doing in my bed?»
«Mmh Heeseung let me sleep a little more»
«Oh certainly, but first you answer my question»
«Ugh ok. You were basically crying because of the loud thunder, the door wasn't locked, so I walked in. I'll tell you the rest when you come back»
«Ok all right, then I'll go, see you later» he was already back to snoring.
I hurried to get ready and get out. I tried to walk fast and in front of the villa at the end of the street there were two police cars. I recognized the figure of Jungwon. I arrived just in time. Today's lessons were very boring. Luckily, the morning came to an end and I met Sunoo, smiling as always.
«Hey Heeseung-hyung, what's up?»
«All right, and you Sunoo, do you have something interesting to tell me? I'm way too much bored»
«I have just what you need hyung»
«Top tell me everything»
«Well, yesterday Jay phoned to inform me they found something left by the killer»
«Any trace?»
«That's right, it's ash. And outside in the school garden, not far from that window, there was a cigarette butt»
«Have they already had an idea of who the culprit might be?»
«No, not yet. Unfortunately, they have little time to focus on this case, Jay told me that almost every day someone in the neighborhood is killed»
«Oh my God, how are we going to be safe with a murderer out there?»
«Be careful, and watch your back. See you tomorrow hyung!»
Once we both left school, I said goodbye to Sunoo, who was going to eat at his grandmother's, and then I made the way home alone. All of a sudden, somebody pulled me and I found myself in an alley I had never seen before. I tried to escape but two guys held me down. In front of me was another one, all dressed in black, hooded and with a black mask.
«What did you just say Heeseung? How to stay safe with a killer on the loose?»
How the fuck did he know what I just talked to Sunoo about?
«Good question, you better not make wrong moves, if you don't wanna risk»
They sneered so obnoxiously, then he came at me, slapped me and kicked me so hard that for a moment I thought he had broken a couple of my ribs. Finally they all left. I knelt down in unbearable pain. When it got a little dull, I went back home, hoping that nobody would notice what had just happened. What did they want from me?
