park sooyoung (joy) and kim yerim (yeri)

extra: bae juhyun (irene) and son seungwan (wendy) and kang seulgi (seulgi)

the next day, seungwan wasn't at school. when yerim asked juhyun and seulgi about it, they just shrugged. she guessed seungwan didn't tell them. 

yerim was worried, though. sooyoung wouldn't dare to murder sooyoung in school, but in her own home, seungwan would surely be murdered. she would have to rush to seungwan's house after school. 

all day, yerim was biting her lip and jumping her leg up and down. she couldn't shake what sooyoung had told her. 

"you have 24 hours to say goodbye to seungwan." 

she shivered, getting weird looks from juhyun and seulgi. "yerim, are you okay? it's eighty degrees outside and you just shivered," seulgi said, feeling her forehead. "you don't have a fever. you should go straight home and rest, okay? don't hang out at the mall, because you might get sick."

yerim nodded, not saying anything. juhyun continued to stare at her, as if to analyze her state of being. this made yerim nervous. if juhyun found out, juhyun could kill her too. 

the final bell rang, and yerim walked out of the school until she got to seungwan's neighborhood. she ran as fast as possible to seungwan's house, hoping she wasn't late. when she got there, the door was open. 

yerim's face paled as soon as she opened the door. chunks of seungwan's hair littered the ground and the remaining hair on seungwan's head was crusted in crimson blood. her face was tainted with purple and black bruises. yerim saw a bloody spoon on the floor, which must've been used to strike seungwan's face. 

seungwan was standing on a chair and a noose was tied around her neck, matching the height to where seungwan stood. if sooyoung took the chair out from under seungwan, seungwan's neck would immediately snap and break. 

yerim's mouth covered her mouth as she choked back a sob. "sooyoung, please don't do this."

sooyoung turned to her, no wounds apparent on her body. "seungwan deserves this. she murdered me, now i murder her. yerim, i told you that you couldn't stop me."

the alarm on yerim's phone went off, and sooyoung smiled at yerim. "say goodbye to seungwan."

sooyoung kicked out the chair from under seungwan, and seungwan hung limply from the ceiling. 

"no!" yerim screamed, horrified of the murder she had just witnessed. 

sooyoung laughed at yerim's terror. "why are you so scared? i told you 24 hours in advance. yerim, i am warning you again. you have 18 hours to say goodbye to seulgi." 

sooyoung vanished, leaving yerim to sit there and cry.
