I'm sorry for not updating for a month! I had huge writer's block and I put off writing this chapter but then I realized I had a book to update. Whoops..
========
The next day, I woke up and immediately got ready. I had to talk to Eunbi, Jaewoo Sumin. As I left the house, I saw Eunbi running towards me. "Hey," she said. I just gave a light smile. "Do you have the journal?" I asked her. She nodded and grabbed it from her backpack. She held it out in front of me. I carefully took the journal and turned it in my hands.
"Is there not a name on it?"
She shook her head. "The three of us tried everything we could," Eunbi told me. I shrugged nonchalantly.
"Does it really matter? I mean, Seoyoung's already dead. We can't do anything about it."
Eunbi shook her head.
"What we can do is avenge your sister. This person murdered your sister. They should be in prison for what they did."

When we got to school, Youngmin met me by my locker.
"Hey, you ok?"
I couldn't help but smile a little.
"Is that the same line you're going to repeat every time I don't look fine?"
He shrugged and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"But are you ok?"
I shrugged and shook my head. "I mean, I don't think anyone would be fine if they were in my position so I don't think I am. But let's try not to make this day too sad." I looked up and smiled. He smiled back and walked me to class.

Jaewoo's POV
The first person I met when I got to school was Jieun. "Hey Jaewoo oppa!" She said as soon she saw me. I waved hi to her.
"So, are you doing anything after school?"
I shook my head.
"Great, then can you go and get coffee with me after school?"
I thought about it for a second. I mean, Jieun's really sweet and nice so why not?
"Uh, sure."
Jieun smiled and said goodbye.

The entire day went normally. Today was boring as always. I waited my the front gates for Jieun.
"Hey Jaewoo!"
I turned around and saw Jieun running towards me. I waved back to her. "Come on, lets go!"
Jieun walked us to this new cafe that opened a few days ago. As we walked, she stayed silent the entire time. I tried sparking a conversation but she just kept silent. She was just ignoring me completely. It was really weird.
When we got to the cafe, she sat down at a booth.
"What do you want, Jaewoo? I'll order."
"An iced Americano is fine."
Jieun went to order our coffee. I took my phone out and played a video game until she got back. Jieun placed the Americano on my right and she sat down in front of me. I put my phone away and drank my Americano.
"Who do you like?"
I almost choked on my coffee. "What?"
"Who. Do. You. Like?"
"No one."
Jieun shook her head.
"I know who you like. I thought you trusted me."
"Of course I trust you!"
That's a lie.
"And I don't like anyone."
Also a lie.
Jieun slammed her hand onto the table, which made both our drink shake.
"Cut the bullshit, Jaewoo. You're so easy to real in. Did you really think I wanted to be friends? You'll help me sabotage her relationship because I know you love her."
"And what if I don't help you?"
"Then, I guess you'll have to say goodbye to your friends and family."
