She never expected that her actions and decision will lead to this predicament and now she is traumatized and cannot help but lock herself into her room.

While the investigation is going on they are in dead end as to how can a single girl manage to kill 5 adolescent boys when she is known to be small and weak and so why the investigators discern that there is a third party involve that help Kim to avoid getting assaulted but they still no clue as where the whereabouts of Kim as she vanished nowhere to be seen.

4 years have passed and the incident of the infamous public school still is being investigated but the perpetrator has still not found even a single clue of Kim's whereabouts is never been found, the three girls have been release and now they are in college specially Serenity.

Serenity finally manage to get over her trauma and enter in the society again, she have change as she is now become a good student, she doesn't bully someone anymore or being a bitch in fact she is advocating an anti-bully campaign as conciliate for what she have done in the past, she also wanted to become a teacher.

Even tho she is now a good person, have many friends and a supportive family and a now she is a big sister there still a crippling anxiety that's haunt her wherever she is, the fear of someone is watching her every movement.

She takes medications as to calm herself or else she will be crazy but her crippling anxiety is getting trigger whenever she spotted a red color. Her palpitation will rise and she will sweat franticly if she see the color that traumatize her.

One day Serenity is walking her dog on the park as her mother is tending with her little brother and so early morning she jog at the local park with her chihuahua. Before she gone home she go the nearest convenient store to buy snacks for her movie marathon that is schedule today.

While she is in the opposite sidewalk of the store, she see the convenient glass window and spot someone.

Her body temperature rises and her whole body is shaking, there seating in the glass window is someone that supposed to be missing and someone that she knows well.

She can't believe her eyes and grip her hand strongly on the leash of her dog.

Her hand still shaking reach for her medication inside her purse but when she look again at the convenient store the person that she knows too well cannot be seen anymore. She let a big sigh of relief and her breathe become steady and she think 'maybe I only mistaken that she was there.' as she comfort herself but the anxiety is still there so she hurriedly gone to the store and buy the snack that she wanted and go home, that's what her plan.

When she gone inside the store is oddly quiet, the only person is the cashier and she is just there sitting not minding the customer, what a lazy worker.

She look at the pile of products and goes to the snack section but something that caught her eyes and trigger her anxiety again...

There is a pile of product that align perfectly in a single stack... What triggers her is the color of the products, its all red and there is a single note in the top of the stack that you can clearly see without even taking the red note 'found you'.

Serenity got alerted, she dash out of the store without buying anything, her heart almost jumps out because of extreme palpitation she grab the leash of the dog with all her might and dash towards her home, she didn't even realize that her dog is being drag in the asphalt and now is bleeding furiously but she doesn't notice it as she wants to go home as fast as possible.

When she got home she hurriedly go inside her bedroom even her mother got surprise of the action of her daughter.

She cover herself with blanket and shut off herself from the outside world again. The dog of them has been killed in the process.

After an hour of her shutting herself in her room she heard a knock on the door that made her jump with her heart that how nervous she is but she calm down when she heard the voice of her mother... That's supposed to happen but the next word of her mother made her mind in full alert.

"Serenity, you have a cute guest she said she is your friend, I never knew you have a cute friend like her... If you are done on what you are doing please come out... Kim is waiting for you." Her mother unknowingly said that with a happy tone.

But Serenity is lost for words, the supposedly a missing person is here? why she is here? Why she knows our house? What she wants with me? Anxiety rises and the palpitation of her heart jump into the highest, she can't think clearly anymore but her inner thought even her shaking stops when she heard a very cutely high pitch voice that she so knew about.

"Do you like red?"
