"Beware the fury of a patient man."

LISA

I was walking down the hallway busy scanning my phone when someone repeatedly shouted my name. "Lisa! Lisa! Lisa!" Jisoo and Rosé rushed towards me, placing their hands on my shoulders while trying to even their breathings.

I fixed my backpack on my right shoulder, placing my phone inside my pocket. "Woah, too early for that shouting. What's the matter?"

"J-Jennie..." Jisoo stuttered still panting.

"Okay? What about her?"

"T-They took her..." My forehead creased.

"Took her? Who?" I asked them.

Rosé evened her breathings before looking straight to my eyes. "Ryujin and her friends took Jennie and they locked her up inside the old storage at the back of the school everyone is there and just laughing at her! You need to help her! We can't do anything!" She rambled.

I immediately dropped my bag on the floor, running like flash leaving them and my bag on the same spot. Fuck these bullies! I already told them not to touch her!

I saw a lot of students crowding the old storage room and some of them are just laughing and recording using their phones. I balled my hand into a fist, approaching them. "Open this goddamn door." I warned but they all just looked at me.

"I already told you that I hate repeating my words, Ryujin. Open this door while I'm still in my sane mind." No one moved. Fuck it. I kicked the door with full force breaking it. "Jennie?" I checked inside the storage looking for her but then I saw her in the corner hugging her knees while sobbing. She's already hyperventilating. Damnit.

"Jennie." I called out. She slowly lifted her head looking at me with those scared eyes. I rushed to her side hugging her small frame, gently rubbing her back. "Shhh, follow my breathings, Nini. In and out. Come on." I placed her head on my chest letting her hear my 'that I assumed' calm heartbeats.

"I'm sorry I'm late. Don't worry I'm already here. I got you... I got you." We stayed like that for a minute, trying to calm her breathing. I cupped her cheeks making her look at me. "Smile now Mandu. Your super Limario is already here." I joked that made her smile. "Alright, much better."

"L-Lisa... I'm scared." I kissed her temple letting it linger for a second before giving her a tight hug. "I got you just a little late but I'm already here." I helped her get on her feet but she stumbled back.

"Okay Jen, just follow me okay? I want you to just close your eyes and don't open it until I say so." She looked at me with those confused eyes but nodded anyway.

"Alright let's get you out of here." I carried her in a bridal style letting her hide her face in the crook of my neck. "Just relax Mandu. I'm always here for you."

"Hmm, I'm scared..." She mumbled but I tighten my grip on her assuring her that she's already safe. I walked out of the storage and everyone is looking at us especially my so-called 'friends'. Bullshit. Bunch of brainless bullshit.

I looked at Ryujin mouthing something to her. I saw how her shocked face suddenly turned into a pale one. I smirked. I left them standing there, still carrying Jennie in my arms.

I was walking down the hallway leading to the infirmary when I heard her soft little snores making me smile. She's really tired. Brave girl indeed. I placed her on the bed inside the clinic making sure she's comfortable before leaving her.

Everyone is gathered inside the gymnasium waiting for the professor to arrive. Some students started playing basketball, some are just sitting on the bench just like Rosé and Jisoo while me? I'm playing alone. Well, Jennie is still not here. Maybe she's sleeping peacefully inside the infirmary room.

Everyone turned their attention to the door when it opened revealing Jennie with her P.E uniform. I immediately dropped the ball before running towards her same goes with Rosé and Jisoo. "So, are you okay now?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Yup. All thanks to you Lisa and of course Rosé and Jisoo. Thank you for your help." We smiled at her patting her shoulder gently. I grabbed her wrist letting her sit on the bench along with Rosé and Jisoo and we started chatting not giving a fuck about the time.

Everyone is busy in their own little world but then we heard a loud bang on the door. I immediately looked at it tilting my head to the side when reality hits me. "Someone's locking the door!" I shouted. I ran my way towards the door with Taehyung and Bambam slamming it open but it won't budge.

"Our professor texted me he can't come today. I only noticed it now." The president informed us. Student's fear grew when the lights flicker and a sound from the speaker came.

[My favorite toys. How are you all doing? I know you are all bored so let's all play a game. You are all the mice and I will be the cat. If I catch you first... then I will make sure you will regret living. Let's start... shall we?]

The devilish laugh echoed inside the gym before it faded. The lights turned off. Everyone started screaming, crying and begging. We tried opening the door but to no avail. "Lisa?" I heard Jennie called with her tiny voice.

Jennie...

JENNIE

I held Rosé and Jisoo's hand and we stayed in the corner but then I remembered Lisa. "Lisa?" I called but she didn't answer back. My panic grew just thinking that the killer will touch her. It made me scared. No. She's fine Jennie. "Lisa?!" I shouted but I know she will not hear it because of the loud voices of our classmates. It's already a Chaos inside.

It's been an hour when the lights turned on. Everyone adjusted to the light included us but someone screamed. We saw Taehyung hanging on the corner he's trying to free himself while on the other corner Yeji is also hanged. They are both gasping for air but no one moved.

"Help them!" I heard Lisa's voice. Some students run towards Taehyung and some tried to help Yeji. They are both unconscious when we laid them on the ground and the door suddenly flung open revealing no one. I immediately called an ambulance and within a minute they arrived. Thank god.

Everyone is shaking from the scene earlier that's why the principal sent us home but before that he told us not to tell this to anybody just like what he did in the past. I never had a chance to talk to Lisa. I'm so worried about her but she disappeared after the principal talked to us.

I went home with a heavy heart and trembling body. I laid on my bed my arms and legs spread on my bed, busy staring at the ceiling. My phone vibrated inside my pocket, I looked at it and it was a message from Lisa.

From: Lisa

[I'm sorry I left. My sister called me earlier saying we have an emergency in our house. Hope you're already home.]

To: Lisa

[No it's okay. Yes, I'm already home and I hope you're alright. Be safe and thank you again Lisa for saving me.]

I placed my phone on the table just beside my bed. Heaving a deep sighed the thought of leaving the school flooded my mind. Should I just leave? That school is far too dangerous for me to stay. But what about my friends? What about Lisa? Should I tell them that it's better to transfer to another school?

I'm so confused.

What's happening?
