MY CRIME - go kyungjun

14 - ghostly scene

"During the night, Cha Yu Jun was executed by the mafia. Cha Yu Jun was a doctor."

You sat up as your insides twisted. First Jin Ha, and now the doctor? We're fucked.

Jin Ha was a citizen. That meant all those pieces of evidence were all carefully set up and put together by the mafia. Did they really want him gone that bad?

The only one you could think of that could have such a grudge was Da Beom. Wait. Your whole friend group was targeted yesterday. The friend group that always tormented him. Could it be?

"All participants, identify the mafia and begin to vote."

Kyung Jun places an hand on your lower back. "Let's go, they'll start to question us if we stay here too long." he says.

You nod. He was right.

You both walk down to the lobby. You're met with two bodies covered with a white cloth. You're halfway down the stairs when you hear talking.

"We should..." Yoon Seo says. "move the guys first."

You wanted to laugh. Jin Ha? He could rot for all you care. You turn back around, and return to the cafeteria.

You take a seat on one of the chairs, Kyung Jun across from you. "I've been thinking..." you start. "All four of us were targeted yesterday."

He nodded, waiting for you to continue.

"The only person I could think of that could possibly hate us that much was Jin Da Beom." you say.

He raises his brows. "You think it's him?"

You nod. You take a deep breath as you gaze out the window, lost in thought.

"I can't help but sense something off about him." you admit. "He looks at me oddly, like Woo Ram, it's creepy." you grimace.

"Huh." He hums. "Let's just watch how today plays out, I can tell they don't trust us after Jin Ha's death."

Ding! You received a notification.

"Check the name of the game host." You click the envelope, and it reveals the name 'Park Se Eun'.

"Park Se Eun?" Kyung Jun mutters, a quizzical look on his face. The lights in the room start blinking. You both turn to each other, confused.

—

You're all gathered in one of the conference rooms.

"What's this?" Mi Na asks. She turns her phone for everyone to see. "Is this real?"

"Se Eun was the host." Yoon Seo speaks up. She's staring at nothing.

"But she's dead." Na Hee cries. "How?"

How can a dead girl be host thisgame?

"I bet it's all because of the game too." Jung Won says. "Anyway, thanks to Yoon Seo who figured out the host, our memories came back."

"But still." Yeon Woo says, worry written all over his face. "How could our memories disappear and come back?"

"This is crazy."

"Wait." Mi Na says. "Yoon Seo, you said you had seen a ghost before. Was it Park Se Eun?"

"Whatever." So Mi whines. She looks over to Yoon Seo. "So this is happening because of Park Se Eun, right? You were the one who found the picture. Is it possible you know more, but you're not telling us?"

"You and Park Se Eun were close!" She yelled, getting closer to Yoon Seo. Then she looks to everyone else. "We were just her classmates. We had nothing to do with her. Why are we playing this game?"

"Yes." Eun Chan spoke up. "I've barely talked to her."

"What's wrong with Park Se Eun?" Mi Na asked, bringing her hands together in thought. "Why is she trying to kill us after committing suicide?"

"Park Se Eun didn't commit suicide." Jung Won0 said. Everyone looked to her. "The runor says she was killed."

"Who killed her?"

"I heard that too." Yeon Woo added. "I heard someone pushed her."

"Isn't that just a rumor?"

"Yes." Da Beom quickly said. "The police said she committed suicide." There was that gaze again.

"What does that have to do with this?" So Mi yelled.

"Wait." Yoon Seo finally looked up from the table. "Why did Se Eun start this game?"

"She didn't commit suicide like the rumor says," she continued. "and she was trying to tell us that she died because of one of us."

"Are you saying..." A pause. "that one of us killed her?"

Every turned their gazes to So Mi. "Why are you looking at me?" she snapped. "How does that make sense?"

"Does it have something to do with the mafia?" Yeon Woo wondered. "Hey. Who were the mafias?" He was on to something.

"Woo Ram. Ju Won. Ye Won."
"The rest are unknown."

"Hey, Park Woo Ram killed Ju Young." Mi Na spoke up. "He said he wanted to kill her because Ju Young always disregarded him. Did he...kill Park Se Eun too?"

"Between the two, did anything happen?" Eun Chan asked. "Do you know anything?"

"We wouldn't know." So Mi said. "Park Woo Ram wasn't committed. Maybe he flirted at Park Se Eun too."

"Then...did all this happen because of Park Woo Ram?"

"If Woo Ram killed Se Eun, what about all the other mafias?" Da Beom asked. "What did they do?"

That was a good question. At least now you all had something to base off of when accusing someone. But there are only 10 of you left, you need to work now, and fast.
