Everyone has a Secret [ JENLISA ]

Chapter 2

"There are only two ends to this dance. You can flee with your wounds just in time or lie there as he feeds, watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed."

Jennie

I woke up feeling like a zombie. Ugh, Kim Jennie it's your last year you can do this and besides you gain a new friend. That's a great news right? Okay you go girl.

As usual I walked on my way to my school being greeted by the guards outside. I furrowed my eyebrows when I saw a lot of students outside it's already 7:55 they should be inside their rooms now right? Their faces shows fear and shock adding to my curiosity. I saw Lisa standing in front of our room with our classmates and they are all looking inside our room with fear and shock like the faces I saw earlier. What's happening?

"Lisa?" I called her but she didn't seem to hear me so I walked towards her before following the direction of their eyes. I dropped my books on the ground placing my hands on my mouth. Oh my god... the girl who's with Ryujin yesterday is hanging on the ceiling her body is full of cuts and bruises. She's... dead. My whole body trembled seeing the sight in front of me. I saw that there's something written on her stomach.

'Memento Mori: Mortem in Via'

I felt a hand wrap around my waist pulling me into a tight hug. She buried my face on her chest. "Don't look." Lisa whispered.

"It's your fault! You're the killer!" Ryujin hit my back harshly making me winced in pain. "This is the first time that it happened! This whole event happened when you transferred in our school!" She started shouting at me and was about to hit me again but Lisa stopped her.

"Enough! Can't you see she just arrived! For fuck's sake Ryujin don't accuse someone just because you hate her for 'bumping' you! Grow up!" Lisa shouted back. "And this is not the right time to fight! Momo just got killed!"

Silence

We saw the police arrives at the scene telling us to go somewhere far away from this area so Lisa pulled me with her and we went inside the Library. "What happened back there?" I asked my whole body is still trembling with fear.

"We don't know either... that's the scene that welcomed us when we arrive. Momo is a great friend she's just being blinded by fame but she's a good friend..." Lisa started crying so I gently pat her back soothing her a little.

"I know it's not okay but everything will be alright." I don't know why I said that because I know from what I saw earlier, everything is not okay. Definitely not okay but what can I do I just wanna comfort this girl who protected me 3 times in a row.

She sobbed. "Everything is clearly not fine Jennie. My friend just got killed by that unknown dip fucking shit." Who killed her? I know she's a bully but who has a strong gut to do that. Killing her in a gruesome way. She looks like she's been tortured before killing her.

"Do you know someone who hated her that much that leads that person to kill her?" I askes Lisa.

"H-Hanbin likes her so much but she dumped him multiple times... to the extent that she humiliated him in front of our class when we are on our 3rd year. Momo likes Bambam." She wiped her eyes before looking straightly at me. "Do you think-"

"No Lisa we can't just jump into conclusions. We don't have any evidences or proofs." She breathe heavily releasing all her stress. We went silent for a second when her phone vibrated.

"We still have classes it's not cancelled but in a different room." She informed. "Let's go." She offered her hand to me, I grabbed it then we left the quiet library.

—

We took the seat just beside the window and as usual we sat beside each other. Everyone is oddly quiet not like yesterday. Ryujin keeps on playing with her fingers while Hanbin keeps on shifting uncomfortably on his seat. Strange.

The principal entered our room silently no one bothered to greet him maybe because of what happened earlier. Someone died inside our room. That's the first time I've ever encounter something like that.

He cleared his throat before speaking. "As you all know what happened earlier... unfortunately your classmate Momo died. From what the police said she died last night." Everyone gasped. "I know everyone is still shocked from what you all just witnessed but sadly we need to continue the class." No one answered.

"Lastly, what you have witnessed today, you should all keep that to yourselves for the sake of this school. I hope you all understand." No one still answered even her so called friends didn't protest. What is this school? Someone just died but here they are protecting the image of the school! I clenched my fists my knuckles turning white. Lisa held my hand caressing it using her thumb.

"Relax... we can't do anything about that. They have the power over us. We're just students and we need to graduate so we can enter a good university." She smiled sadly. The principal left us at the same time the speaker produced an eerie ear-breaking sound making us all hissed in pain.

[So, do you all like my surprise? Ah, wait you all seem like you're all sad. Tsk, let's not be fake alright? For once, let's be real. I know you are all happy that Momo's gone. Am I right? No more bully, no more rival in fame and Momo no more. I pity her. She doesn't have real friends. Tsk. Alright, that's all. I will continue giving you all surprises. Memento Mori: Death is on the way.]

The voice stopped so we immediately went out to see who it was but when we arrived at the studio no one is there just a voice recorder. Lisa grabbed the voice recorder before facing us.

"Who did this?! Do you all think this is funny?! Killing someone for fun?! Fuck it!" She threw the voice recorder shocking everyone. Clearly that person used a voice changer so no one will recognize his or her voice. That person is smart. We can't distinguish whether that person is a male or a female.

We went back inside our room but something caught my eyes. There's a black paper resting on my table. Everyone looked at me waiting for me to open it.

"Memento Mori: Liberate tuteme ex inferis." I read out loud. "I-I don't understand..." We are all confused but then we heard Rosé mumbled something.

"Warning: Save yourself from Hell."
