"now that we're finished eating, it's time to start our day," momo said. i nodded, following her gruelling pace without complaining.
we were walking into another hallway, reaching a door at the end. instead of people entering through the door, they formed a line outside.
i stood behind momo, suddenly having a thought, "how much noms do we need to pass? like how much points do we need to earn so we can leave?" she looked my way and replied quickly, "one hundred. if you get one hundred noms, you can leave."
i nodded, saying, "how many noms do you have?"
momo started calculating in her head to make sure before saying, "right now..thirty-four."
my mouth fell in shock, i quietly exclaimed, "thirty-four?! you've been here for two years and you only have thirty-four noms?! how am i supposed to-" momo shushed me, saying to my anxious state, "don't worry, i don't have much because i'm bad at the tests."
"test? what test?" i questioned.
she didn't reply. instead, she just smiled uncannily, whispering a,"you'll see," which sent a chilling sensation up my spine.
we waited for nearly half an hour. one by one, a person would walk in through the doors, except.. they never came back out.
it was soon momo's turn. she waved at me before entering through those doors. i waited nervously for my turn by fiddling with my fingers and tapping my foot.
then..it was my turn. the door opened and a voice told me to enter.
so i did, walking inside slowly while expecting the worst case scenario.
to my surprise, there was nothing inside except for a single chair. i sat down, feeling my stomach grow into a nervous pit as i thought about what would happen.
the lights in the room gradually dimmed. eventually, it was pitch black.
suddenly, a projection of a white screen appeared in front of me. i watched, my clammy hands gripping onto the chair.
the screen showed a few words.
name : kim dahyun.
age : 18
nom value : 0 points
test : 1
i furrowed my eyebrows, reading the words until the screen changed quickly again.
this time, it read,
'kim dahyun, your first test is...to forgive your enemies.'
before i could comprehend what that meant, the screen switched again.
a visual of someone i recognised appeared on the screen, he wore a blank expression as he looked at me. i felt my heart topple over itself as i stared at him back.
jimin..
he opened his mouth and uttered strangely, "you killed my parents..how could you think of doing that?"
a sad frown formed on my face as i gripped onto the armrests. i remember him saying those exact words to me three years ago, the week after the incident with his parents.
i remember trying to tell him that i didn't do it..but he didn't believe me.
he continued saying with a dark glint in his eyes, "don't you dare lie to me..i saw you do it.." he took a deep breath and muttered, "i'm going to make your life a living nightmare.."
the screen switched again.
this time, all the memories from jimin tormenting me came bombarding back into my brain. the time when he pushed me over, when he called me names and when he spread rumours about me.
i couldn't stop watching, my eyes were glued to the screen.
the screen then showed the time when jimin nearly choked me to death. it was all because he thought i threatened his ex-girlfriend. i remember feeling so weak..so scared.
how dare he..
how dare he treat me like that when he never knew the truth.
in an instant, this unexpected burning rage started hissing through my body like a deadly poison. the hot feeling consumed me, destroying all positive perceptions about jimin.
now...i saw nothing but a monster.
but..this bubbling anger soon turned into sorrowful tears. i couldn't help but cry. i've suffered for so long..i'm falling apart and no one can save me.
no one can save me from jimin..
the screen changed again, this time it read the words, 'do you forgive him?'
after reading the words, i burst into a sob. i cried like there was no tomorrow.
without any hesitation, i answered, "park jimin...i will never! fucking! forgive! you!!" each words escaping my mouth was pouched with darkness.
i had lost control.
the screen disappeared, the room was pitch black again. my relentless sobbing carried on, i was too daunted to stop.
the last thing i remember seeing on the screen was..
nom value : - 5 points
