7. D-Day (Detention Day)

It was 5 AM when Jieun's eyes fluttered open, only to realize she had hardly slept all night.

Thoughts of escaping from detention kept her awake, occupying her mind with desperate strategies. 

Determined to make it through the long day ahead, she forced herself out of bed and quietly approached Yeongja, her roommate.

She got ready and gently shook Yeongja's body to wake her up, "Yeongja, Wake up." 

Yeongja groaned in annoyance and replied to her "Ugh! What do you need bitch?"

Suppressing her frustration, Jieun smacked Yeongja's arm and spoke in a firm tone,

"You better drag your ass to get ready. We have detention at 6 AM. If you don't want to get in trouble, I suggest you move quickly." she said and left the room.

Yeongja heaved a deep sigh and got ready for the detention.

Jieun was sitting in the dimly lit room more like an attic when Yeongja stormed in, her face bore annoyance and frustration.

She took a seat next to Jieun's chair. Suddenly, Headmistress Kwon barged in, "All right, I see everyone is present. Mr Choi will keep an eye on you, I'll be back at 1 PM." she said in a firm voice and exited while locking the door. 

"Ugh!! This is abuse, what if we have to pee?" Yeongja asked in annoyance. Jieun just pointed to the restroom which was situated at the corner of the attic.

"What about food? Are they going to keep us starving?" Jieun asked looking around to see if there was something to eat. 

"Fuck this shit! It's embarrassing. It's all because of you! I've never been into detention until you came along." Jieun just rolled her eyes and got up from her seat to find ways to escape. 

In the shadowy and cramped confines of the attic, Yeongja and Jieun searched through forgotten relics and dusty artifacts, their curiosity overshadowed only by their subtle bickering over their discoveries. 

"Yahhh you bitch, can you be a bit more careful with that?" Jieun chastised, peering over Yeongja's shoulder as she rummaged through an old chest containing old documents.

Yeongja rolled her eyes. "Relax bitchass, I'm not going to break anything. These documents are so old that they'll crumble at the slightest touch." 

As they explored, they stumbled upon a peculiar rug that seemed out of place amidst the attic's disarray.

Intrigued, they tugged at its frayed edge, revealing a hidden trapdoor below. 

Jieun glanced at Yeongja. "Should we even be doing this? What if we get in trouble?" Ignoring Jieun's caution, Yeongja grinned mischievously.

"Come on, live a little. Who knows what secrets are waiting for us down there?" 

The trapdoor creaked open, revealing a foreboding staircase spiralling into darkness.

The flickering torchlight cast ominous shadows as they descended, their steps echoing in the chilling silence.

At the foot of the stairs, they entered an expansive chamber adorned with ancient artifacts and cryptic symbols etched into the walls. 

A sense of foreboding hung in the stale air. "Looks like we've stumbled upon something quite enigmatic," Jieun whispered, her voice echoing eerily.

Yeongja scoffed. "It's just old stupid junk. I don't see anything special about it. It's just a bunch of old artifacts that someone forgot about."
