[6] Is Everything Alright?

Y U K A  U M I

I looked at Minho who was silently walking infront of me, his hands gripping my hand as if it was something he doesn't want to let go. He never said a single word after we left the classroom too, which surprised me. He was always the sociable type but of course, he had this serious attitude as a facade.

But this time, he wasn't talking.

No words were exchanged. No sighing, no muttering, no talking. It was just an eerie silence. Unless you include the screams of terror around us.

I looked at him, trying to stop him from walking. I came into a halt but he just tried to continue walking, our hands still intertwined. I tried to pull away but he didn't even budge.

"Minho," I called out to him as he looked down, not even stopping. He just pulled me again to walk before going downstairs. So, I called out his name again. But a bit louder.

"Minho, stop." He then looked back at me, his eyes painfully meeting mine. He finally had stopped walking as he looked at me with those pitiful eyes that I didn't want to see.

"I'm so sorry, Yuka. I'm really sorry." He sobbed as he puts his arms around me, hugging me. I widened my eyes, still surprised about what he did. But for a few minutes, I returned the hug.

As he pulled away, he looked at his watch before sighing. "I have to do this."

I raised my eyebrow, looking at him with a confused look. I was then grabbed once again and we continued to walk through the hallway. I then jumped a bit as I heard something being dragged. It echoed throughout the hallway, making me shiver in disgust.

We then stopped at the girls bathroom as Minho opened the door. I gagged at the smell of blood as I saw a few bodies laying on the floor. I then approached Minho, who was eeriely quiet infront of me.

"Minho, let's head back. I don't like it here," I said as he turned around, holding a rope. I then gasped, knowing what he was about to do. I tried to run but he grabbed my hand, pulling me to him.

I struggled to escape since he was already pulling me tightly to him. Before I could even argue, he grabbed my arm tightly.

I was then pushed into one of the stalls as I felt the rope around my neck. He looked at me sympathetically before he tying the rope around, making me choke for a minute.

I tried to pull the rope off but it was already stuck, making the air around me got thinner amd thinner. I tried to breathe but it just didn't help my situation. Minho then stood up the toilet, hanging the end above the ceiling before going down to look at me.

"I'm so sorry, Yuka." I then felt an excruciating pain on my neck before everything went black.

M I N H O  A K A G A M E

I looked at her lifeless figure, hanging on the rope I had used to choke her. I bit back a sob as I gave her one last look before leaving the girls' restroom.

I looked at my watch, seeing that I only had seven minutes to go back. I then ran upstairs, finding the classroom for a few minutes. I opened the door, seeing Jun talking to Akio. They both looked at me, seeing no Yuka beside me.

"Where's Yuka?" I heard a guy asking me, making me turn to look at him. As I stared at him, I already wanted to kill myself on that spot.

It was her older brother, Xhion Umi.

He was wearing a black long sleeved uniform and some navy blue pants to match. His dark chocolate eyes bore into me in anger, giving me the reason to be scared. He gritted his teeth while closing his palms tightly.

"I'm going to ask you again, where the hell is my sister?" he angrily asked me as I looked down, shaking my head.

"I'm sorry." That was all it took for me to receive a strong blow on my face. I felt his fist colliding on my face repeatedly as he gave me his infamous death glare.

He gritted his teeth, still punching my face, "What did you do to her?!"

I then felt someone helping me up while I saw Akio pulling Xhion away from me. As I looked to see who helped me, I saw Jun looking at me with a look that I couldn't read. I don't even know if she was disappointed or angry at me.

I looked down, still hearing death threats coming from Xhion's mouth.

"How f*cking dare you! You just had the audacity to kill my sister!" he yelled, making me guilty even more. I didn't even have a choice. Her name was clearly written on it.

I guess that was my punishment for killing that guy earlier.

I could still remember what was written on that paper.

D A R E
Since you had the guts to violate a rule, we order you to kill Yuka Umi. Make sure it looks like a suicide. You only have fifteen minutes.

I regretted killing Yuka. Why? She was my everything. She was the only one who understood me. She was the only one who could make me smile despite having many problems. She was supposed to be my girlfriend.

And now, she's gone.

And it's all because of me.

I then heard that Xhion wasn't yelling anymore. He just gave me a murderous look that could instantly kill me on the spot. Akio was still holding him to atleast avoid Xhion from hurting me.

I let myself slide on the wall, covering my face with my hands. God, I was so stupid. I should've been the one who was hanging on that rope. Not Yuka. I shouldn't have violated that rule. I shouldn't have interfered in Taro and Jun's fight.

Akio would've helped her anyways.

I then felt a tap on my shoulder, seeing Jun's worried look at me. She sat down beside me, looking down at the floor.

"I'm sorry about Yuka." I apologized, making her stare at me. She then looked down, avoiding me. I sighed, also looking away from her.

"She should've been here, alive." I then saw Akio slowly letting Xhion go as Yuka's brother didn't budge. His gaze was still set upon me. Like he wanted to kill me.

Jun then irritately looked up at me, "Can you just stop apologizing? I don't want to have memories of people dying."

I nodded, seeing Xhion walking away from us. I sighed in relief, knowing that I wouldn't get kiled today. But of course, I was still guilty of his sister's death.

Akio approached us, telling Jun to leave us for a minute. She then nodded before going to a group of girls, talking to them.

He then sat down beside me, glaring. I could see a flame in his eyes, burning in anger. He didn't really show it to Jun but he was pretty angry with me.

"Stay away from Jun, got that?" he said, fixing his glasses. I knitted my eyebrows in confusion.

"What do you mean?" I asked as he gave me a death glare. He then looked away, not meeting my gaze. But I could still feel the uncomfortable tension between us. As if it wer deadly enough to kill.

"I don't trust you. I don't want you to go near her. Who knows what might happen to her if she's with you," he said before leaving me confused. He then walked towards her like nothing ever happened. I could see him still looking at me in his peripheral view.

His words replayed in my mind as I could still hear it like it was just happening right now.

Stay away from Jun. I don't trust you.

Does he think I'm a killer? Or did he say that out of jealousy?
