Clues and Deaths ➳ Jungkook

Chapter 6: Forgetting Something

Aries' POV

I sat still on my seat, even though class was already over, watching Jenna walk away with her friends over to the cafeteria, forgetting her books and bag that still rested on her chair.

The crowd in the room quickly lessened second by second and before I knew it, I was already alone in the brightly lit room. Making me able to do my mission in peace.

I slowly took out the numpad keyboard that I ripped of my old Nokia phone I had in elementary out of my bag, and placed it in between the tiny pink science notebook in front of me.

I then took out my red pen that sat quietly in the pocket of my shirt and messily wrote the words 'Forgetting Something? - Z' on the page, smirking evilly while I closed it.

I carefully placed the notebook back in her bag and zipped it up, before walking outside, catching up with my friends.

Jenna's POV

Classes had ended in the blink of an eye, which was a first. I was already getting used to the one second becomes a minute rule in class, but I guess that streak had thankfully ended today.

I grabbed my bag which was laying down on the floor and slung it on one of my shoulders, making my way out of the room and straight to the school gates. Hyuna, Sana and Jihyo all went home earlier since their classes ended right before mine, meaning that I had to go home alone.

I didn't mind though, I mean, I didn't have to go through some scary narrow alleys to get home I just had to walk straight ahead to get there, passing through tall trees and small houses that were at the side of the roads.

While walking, I started fiddling with my phone, playing some games as I took more steps, making my mind disappear into the world of Candy Crush. My senses immediately jumped back to me when I realized I had bumped into someone, making me fall flat on my butt.

A hand was placed in front of my face I grabbed it and was pulled back up gently. "Be careful next time, Miss." The man said, as I took a glance at his face before saying sorry. 'He looks familiar' I thought, I was about to ask him who he was but sadly he had already walked away.

A frown was visible on my face because of my unanswered curiosity, but I decided to just shrug it off and walk back home.

I reached my destination a few moments later and unlocked the door, closing it with my butt right after I entered. I quickly made my way upstairs and started to do Sir Jaebum's project, which was something that had to with geography or some boring stuff like that.

It took me a few hours before I finally finished it, and it was really tiring. I decided to give myself a nap before I heard a ding which came from my phone. I grabbed my phone that sat on my study table and checked, one text from Jungkook it read, making me slide it open and check it.

jungkook: heyyy jenna :) did u copy today's notes at science class?

jenna: uhh yeah, why? :)

jungkook: could u pleasee send them to me, pretty pleasee?

jenna: suree

I walked over to my bag and got out my notebook, I felt something hard in between the pages, so I flipped the pages to check what was in there. Only to find a numpad keyboard that looked like it was harshly ripped out of an old phone. Below it, the words 'Forgetting Something? - Z' were written.

Memories started to quickly flash through my mind as I remembered the note I got from my locker yesterday, the color of my face slowly draining. I tried to remember the clues which were given to me, '6275' and '1132'.

I heard another ding from my cellphone, thinking that it was another text from Jungkook. I swiped it without checking and found out that it was from an anonymous person.

anonymous: tell us your answer once you find it out, jenna ;)

With shaking hands I picked up the keypad and tilted my head in confusion 'What am I going to do with you?' I thought as I stared at it.

jungkook: ayy jenna, u okay?

jenna:yeahh *2 attachments* here are the notes :)

jungkook: omg thank u, u're a lifesaver!! :))

After my short interaction with Jungkook, I shut off my phone and started to focus more on the clue.

Numpad?
6275?
1132?

I stared at the keyboard frustratingly, the numbers repeating in my head.

6, MNO
2, ABC
7, PQRS
5, JKL

'...Okay, Mnoabcpqrsjkl, is not a name.' I thought to myself as I tried to think deeper.

1132, is the other clue, I stared at the numpad for like an hour, failing in answering it, I was close to giving up when I thought.

1 means first letter, 3 means the third while 2 means the second.

In 6, MNO the first letter is M. In 2, ABC the first letter is A. In 7, PQRS, the third letter is R, and in 5,JKL the second letter is K. Join them all together and you got

Mark...

I quickly opened my phone to reply back, but then thought 'Why should I?! This might be some new kid prank.'

I groaned in stress, thinking that I had wasted hours of my precious life on a stupid prank.

I glanced at my clock and saw that it was already 11:50PM, I had to sleep. I turned off the lights and made myself cozy on my bed before drifting off to slumber.
