"Du, du, du,du~"

I froze hearing that same tune. He was in the kitchen––Uncle Dan was in the kitchen. I closed my eyes, praying hard that he would not find me in this cabinet. That was when I heard his foosteps walking past the cabinet I was in, heading towards the backdoor.

"Hmm..." I heard him say.

I internally cursed realising that he must have noticed that one of the panels on the door was removed. Out of a sudden, I heard a ringtone of a phone somewhere in the kitchen. I immediately cupped my mouth, preventing a gasp from escaping. I knew right away that it was Miss Lee's phone ringing.

"Miss Lee, where are you~ Your friend is calling you~" Uncle Dan sang.

I felt so jittery hearing him mentioning her name. However, there was no response. The phone was still ringing making me extremely anxious. I really wondered who had called her.

"Miss Lee~"

"You know what, let me tell you something since you're probably listening. You must be wondering why I'm here, right? Well, it's because you touched my brother's dead body––he doesn't like anyone touching his dead body," Uncle Dan said.

I instantly gulped.

"That's also the reason why Mr Kim and the six boys are dead, hah," he continued, letting out a laugh.

My eyebrows knotted into a frown hearing what he had just said. The person who had killed my friends and Principal was just standing in front of me, confessing it.

"But that one boy is lucky, very lucky. Am I right––

Jimin?"

My heart suddenly skipped a beat upon hearing my name. Even though I was hiding in a cabinet, I could somehow feel that Uncle Dan was looking directly to the cabinet I was in.

"But don't worry, I won't kill you. I'm here for Miss Lee so Miss Lee, where are you~"

I heard his footsteps getting further away from the cabinet I was in. Then, I heard him knocking on the wall––or a door. It was then when I realised he must be knocking on the door of the store room Miss Lee was in. I became shaky.

I was shivering uncontrollably hearing Uncle Dan knocking slowly on that door, trying to intimidate Miss Lee, who was inside.

Should I go out to help?

Before I could do anything, I heard the sounds of the door being forced open violently. Seconds later, I heard Miss Lee screaming before I hearing noises. It sounded like they were attacking each other violently since the wooden floor was creaking so much and there was constant slamming against the wall.

I had no idea what to do.

"Uncle Dan, please stop––"

Then, a loud, sharp shrill echoed in the night.

Right at that moment, I covered my ears in fear as I heard her screaming in agonising pain. Afterwards, she fell to the ground with a loud thud. Tears started streaming down my eyes as guilt took over me.

I didn't do anything to save her.

Seconds later, a familiar siren could be heard from a distance. Since I was still afraid, I stayed still in the cabinet, not wanting to come out yet. But from the gap below the cabinet, I could see blue and red lights shining on the floor.

For the second time, they're late. Just too late.

I was still in the cabinet, when I heard some movement in the kitchen.

"Where am I?"

I froze hearing Uncle Dan's voice. Then, I heard him shrieked in disbelief.

"Ommo––did I do this again?!"

"No, no, Miss Lee!" He exclaimed, kneeling down beside her dead body.

He started sobbing. Out of a sudden, I heard the front door broke open.

"Freeze! Hands up!" A familiar voice could be heard.

I knew right away it was Taeril, recognising his low, raspy voice. I heard him gasped afterwards. Then, more foosteps could be heard entering into the house. Uncle Dan was told to stand up and soon after, he was handcuffed. Once I found that it was safe, I slowly opened the cabinet door before getting out. Uncle Dan was in utter shock seeing me and so was Taeril.

"Jimin, are you okay?" Taeril asked, approaching me.

I just nodded before turning to face Uncle Dan, rage and anger was evident on my face. I lost my shit and went ahead to bash him up.

"This is for killing my friends and Miss Lee!" I yelled at him as I punched him in the stomach.

Uncle Dan did not retaliate and just allowed me to bash him. Taeril and two other Police officers had to pull me away from him forcefully to stop me from attacking him any further. I instantly broke out into tears.

Everyone that I'm close to is gone...

Uncle Dan was then sent out of the house and brought into a Police car. Afterwards, I watched as paramedics carried Miss Lee's dead body on a stretcher and out of the house. I cried uncontrollably.

Did I cause this?

Minutes later, Taeril brought me into his Police car and drove me to the Police station.

I guess I'll never leave that place.

"Jimin, can you tell me what happened back at Miss Lee's house?"

I stayed silent, looking down to the floor.

Wasn't everything obvious just now?

"Jimin, you have to answer," Taeril demanded.

I looked up to him before shooting him a glare.

"You know, this wouldn't have happen if you were early," I uttered.

"Pardon?"

"Forget it," I said.

"Jimin––"

"Can you stop?! I don't want to talk to you anymore. Go and ask the killer yourself," I slammed my fist on the table.

I stood up from my chair and exited the room without Taeril's acknowledgement. I was just sick and tired of seeing him.

He doesn't help in anything.
