13 Reasons Why (Seventeen Version)

1. Hoshi

Lee Jihoon (Woozi) POV

  I woke up like any other day. My heart still ached. So far everything is normal. I could hear my moms footsteps as she walked up the stairs. My parents are worried about me, so every morning my mom gets me up. We have family breakfast and dinner. Its driving me crazy. My mom knocked on my door and interrupted my thoughts.

"Son? Are you up? Its time for school. Also you have a package in the mail. I'll leave it outside your room." I heard a box lightly touched the floor, before I heard my mothers footsteps walk away. I slowly got out of bed. I got my clothing and took a brief shower. As soon as the warm water touched my skin, I felt a little bit of satisfaction. But sadly a shower can't wash away my pain or my problems. I got out of the shower and got dressed. When I opened the door I kicked something, then I remember I had a package. I then picked it up, put it on my desk, and closed the door. I opened the package and found cassette​ tapes. A lot of them. 13 to be exact. Luckily my dad has cassette players in his room. I quickly ran to my parents room got a cassette player and ran back to my room. I quickly closed and locked the door. I then popped in the first cassette tape and hit play.

Hello. This is Shawna. Shawna Brown.

I quickly paused the tape and my breathing became uneasy. "Shay." I whispered to myself as a tear rolled down my cheek. I then wiped the tear away and then continued to play the tape.

If you are listening to this, then I'm already dead. But these 13 tapes or should I say most of the people on these tapes are the reasons why I'm dead. You are to listen to these tapes, and when you are done you pass them on to the next person. But be warned. If you fail to do so, then the tapes will get out. One way or another. Now onto subject number one Kwon Soonyoung or Hoshi as people call him. You are the first reason. You are the best dancer at our school. You are liked by everyone. Maybe that's why I liked you. When I first met you, you seemed cute, sweet, and shy. But little did I know that you would break my heart in two. It started the night at DK's party. The night we met.

I suddenly heard another knock on my door. It was my father.

"Son! You need to hurry up and eat breakfast or you'll have to go to school without eating!" I then quickly shove the cassette player in my backpack and dashed out the door and down the stairs.

"Bye Mom, bye Dad I love you." I said and quickly left before my mother tried to get me to stay. I hoped into my car and took off. I got to school 30 minutes early so I pulled the cassette player out and decided to listen to more.

I was talking to DK. He seemed like a nice guy. Then Hoshi walked into the room. Everyone stared at him, when I turned around I found myself also staring at him. He walked up to the CD player and changed the song. He then walked up to me and asked me to dance. I accepted and we slowed danced. That night was perfect. Little did I know that not too long down the road, that Hoshi would show his true colors.

I then heard the bell ring, which meant students should be heading to first period. I quickly stuffed the cassette player back into my backpack. I pulled the keys out of the switch and locked my car. I then walked into the school and went to my locker. No one talks to me anymore. I became antisocial since Shay's death. I called her Shay, not Shawna. She was my friend. My only friend. It pains me most that she's gone. No one cared about her the way I did. I remember when she stayed at my house. Some nights I would be her shoulder to cry on. I walked to class and on the way I bumped into Hoshi. He looks like hell.

"Watch it Jihoon." He growled.

"You bumped into me, Soonyoung. So you watch it." I growled and continued to walk to class. I had english first. I liked the class, but its kinda boring. I remember when Shay and I had english together. We would pass notes during class. The only time I smile is when I think of Shay. She always made me smile. No one could make me smile like she could. Shay is I mean was special. In class we are meant to be reading quietly, but me, I was thinking about english class with Shay.

(Memory)

I slip a not onto Shays desk. She looks at me in surprise and then smiles at me.

"What's this?" She whispered.

"Read it." I whispered in return. She then began reading the note.

This class is so boring. I can't wait until its over.-Jihoon

She smiled at me. Then began writing and slid it back to me.

Ikr. Also I think your name should be Woozi.-Shawna

I smiled at her. I wrote back and slipped it to her.

Why should my name be Woozi?-Jihoon

It just suits you.-Shawna

Well then your name should be Shay.-Jihoon

Why?- Shawna

Its short, cute, and simple. Like you. =)-Jihoon

Hey! You're short too =( -Shawna

Ik. I was kidding-Jihoon

Then the bell rang. Shay and I got our stuff together and walked out the door.

"So why should my name be Woozi?" I asked again.

"Because its short, cute, and simple. Just like you." She said and smiled at me. I laughed at her.

"Ok. Ok. Fair enough."

(Memory End)

I smiled at that memory. Ever since Shay died I have made people call me Jihoon. When Shay was alive people were allowed to call me Woozi, but now I make everyone call me Jihoon. I was now on my way to history class. We had a sub today so I pulled out the cassette player and hit play.

Hoshi followed me around school. We would flirt a little. But after a week he asked me out. I accepted and we went to the park. Now I know many people heard about that night, but here's the truth. We talked, laughed, and we kissed. That's it. I know that he went around school saying we had sex, but in realty we only kissed. After that rumor was spread, I was known as a school slut. When I was a virgin. A simple lie made me a slut. Its total bullshit. I guess rumors are a lot crueler than I thought. I also guess people are also. I never thought that people could be so cruel over a stupid lie. I guess words hurt more than I thought.

My breathing became uneasy. How could people be mean to such a nice person. She never hurt anyone. She seemed so happy. I guess Shay is right, people are cruel. Soon the bell rang for the next period. I went through all day with Shay's words in my head. I sat in the library at lunch and listen to the tape again. I knew that Hoshi was rude to me, but I never knew how bad he was to her. So I decided to talk to him. I knew that he was in dance class, so since my free period is this period I decided to wait outside the door until class was over. When Hoshi walked out of the room, I quickly pulled him into an empty classroom.

"What the hell Jihoon!?" He yelled.

"Why did you tell people that you and Shawna had sex?" I asked.

"Who said we didn't?" He asked.

"Shawna." I said and his eyes widened. He then slammed me against the wall.

"Let me tell you something, whatever she says on those tapes shes lying. If you don't keep your trap shut about what you hear on those tapes, then I'm gonna be your worst nightmare." He growled and then let me go. My back ached after that. When I got home I quickly went to my room and popped in the tape.

Welcome back.
