Hurt

Chapter 47 - Key

Hyekyo

I wake up. A voice make me awake from sleeping. I see at surrounding. The kids still sleeping. The voice..is it just my imagination. But, why I feel uneasy. I try to go sleep again but I can't.

Zapp!

That sound. It's not loud or can be heard but I can hear it. It's from Jeongyeon Ajumma's room. What's that sound.. I decide to not go back to sleep and check what's the sound is...

I walk near ajumma's room and put my ear near the door to hear what's going on there. No sound but somehow I feel like I heard someone's walking inside there. I open the door carefully. Little by little I open the door until I see Seulgi standing near the bed while show her back to me.

"Seulgi-ah..", I called her name carefully. No answer. She's still standing there without move a bit or turn her face to me.

Then, I see her hand. Red? Paint? No...it's blood. I start feel weird. As I walk near her, far from the door, I start feel like someone was standing at my back. but, I didn't show that I know the situation. I walk slowly to Seulgi and my eyes move to something on the bed. I stop walking. My heart stop beating. 

Then, I feel a move behind me and I move my head in speed and catch the hand that want to hit my head. I push him to the wall and whirl his hand. He screams. The knife fall from is hand. He push me away before I pull the mask on his face. He ran away. I chases him through the back door until we're at bus stop. We're quite far from the orphan house. I catch his hoodie and push him against the bus stop pole.

"Who order you to kill her?", I said while trying to control my anger.

He's smirk. And I see a evil smile on his face.

"Tell me, you jerk."

"Well, someone you know, maybe", he said and laughed.

I pull his shirt tightly in my fist.

"Tell me. Who's order you?"

"Your father, maybe."

What...

"Why?"

"I don't think you have a time to interview me since they all will turn into dust", he said while laughing.

"What?"

My fist become loose. He use that chance to run away. I can't catch him because I think of what he said just now. Turn into dust? They?

No....Don't tell me.....

I run as fast as I can. I see the crowd gather in front of the orphan house. The dark smoke in the air make me feel nervous. I go to the crowd and my sense was right. I feel like my legs was give up but I try to standing.  I run towards the fire. The crowd that calling me, I ignored it. I run inside the house.

As soon I enter the living room where all the children and 3 staff sleep at, my legs give up. I sit down with mix feeling. I don't care about the fire and about the woods that fall down. My eyes can't take off from what in front of me.

Full with blood, full with 105 dead body of the children and the 3 staff. The dead body was everywhere inside the living room. Ajumma was inside the room with Seulgi....wait Seulgi. I suddenly recalled of her. She's still alive when ajumma was killed. I stand up and walk to the ajumma's room. I open the door and see Seulgi was holding ajumma's dead body. She 's crying. I walk near her and pull her hand.

"Seulgi-ah, eonnie, follow me."

But she refuse and still hugging ajumma. 

"Seulgi-ah, we don't have much time. Follow me."
