"Jackson-aa, do you hear that scream? It sounds like Eunha...". Hani stops while looking at Jackson worriedly. She managed to find Jackson when he runs away from the school gym sitting on the floor doing nothing but crying.

"I hear nothing. It's just your hallucination, you're too scared. You have to calm down." . Jackson says as he pats Hani's shoulder and continues to walk in front. Hani shrugs her shoulder then follows behind slowly but she heard the screaming again. 'It's definitely Eunha!'

"You seriously don't hear anything, Jackson? It is so loud. We need to find her."

"Go by yourself then. I'm going back to the entrance"

"Urghh, fine!". Hani groans and walks away from Jackson. She follows the screaming sound that echoed through the hall. The screaming sounds near from her directions. When she walks past a room, she heard the screaming again. "J-j-jebal jebal. Let me go... aaahhhh!".

"Eunha--...". She's just about to walk to Eunha but Eunha was getting pulled by something. Hani saw the 'thing' but she hesitates to help Eunha even though she screams everyone's name loudly. Her legs start to walk backwards by itself then she turns around and runs away from the room quickly. As she was running, she stumbles down the stairs by a hand pulling her ankle suddenly. Hani's lying on the floor while holding her scrapped knees. She puts her palm on the injured knees to stop the blood from flowing out too much. When the bleeding stops, she stands up slowly trying not to feel so hurt and walks slowly. When she's walking, she heard the same screaming from before, but she only heard someone screaming her name to be exact. She turns to look at her back and see the thing that scared her the most chasing her from behind. She starts to run slowly as her injured knees can't support her weight that much and falls again. She hugs her knees tightly and puts her head in between while shaking. "G-go away!"

"Hani-aa, Hani-aa, are you alright?". Hani slowly looks up and look at the figure in front of her. It is Eunha.

"Eunha? Eunha-aa! I'm sorry for r-running away from you...". Hani starts to touch Eunha to make sure that it's the real her and hug her tightly while crying.

"What happen to you? Are you okay? I was so worried when I saw you running away from me.". Eunha asks worriedly and travels her eyes to Hani's scrapped knees. "Oh my god! Hani-aa, your knees bleeding!"

"It's okay, I'm fi-" "No, you're not Hani, let me help you stand.". Eunha cuts Hani's words and puts Hani's hand on her shoulder to help her walk. They walk slowly to an empty classroom for Hani to rest. They walk to the corner of the classroom then Eunha puts Hani down the floor carefully.

...

"Thank you, Eunha-aa.". Eunha just nods her head at Hani. "You should be more careful.". Eunha states as she look at Hani's injured knees. When she's about to clean the blood, she heard someone talking outside the class.

"Hani, wait here. I will check outside". Eunha stands up but sits down again when Hani pulls her hand.

"Hajima... don't go, Eunha-aa. You heard wrong. There's no one out-"

"Hani-aa! Eunha-aa! Where are you?!"

"They are here for us Hani! I will call them for help". Eunha quickly walks outside the class before Hani could stop her from going out. When she walks out, there's really no sign of people outside, 'Hani's right'. She turns her heels and walk inside the class again but to her shock, Hani's struggling on the floor while holding her neck gasping for air.

"Hani-aa! Yah, what are you doing?!". To Eunha, it seems like Hani chokes herself because Hani's hands are on her neck. Eunha tried to pull away Hani's hand but failed.

"E-eunha-aa... h-h-help m-me...". Plead Hani while looking at Eunha with red eyes. Eunha tried to help Hani again but this time, Hani's neck start becoming so red and her hands on her neck is even stronger than before. After a few minutes of struggling, Hani loosens her hands on her neck and her head starts to move to Eunha's side with eyes open. III-V is written on the wall behind Eunha, the place where Hani looks at.

"Is what Kyung and Namjoon talked about true? No way... H-hani-aa! Wake up, you fool! Don't leave me!". Eunha puts a palm on her mouth crying loudly. Hani's dead in front of her just the same as Jooheon's death. She slowly closes Hani's eyes with her shaky hand then walk slowly step by step out of the room. Her weak legs give up until she crouches down near the wall and bawls her eyes out for her dead best friend. She stops herself from crying and walks to find everyone.
