Everyone has a Secret [ JENLISA ]

Chapter 14

"Hope is the greatest gift and the greatest evil. Hope saved us and hope might yet kill us."

Jennie

"Seungyeon?" Their eyes averted to me making me feel uncomfortable.

"The girl who killed herself by jumping on the rooftop. She killed herself because she can't handle the bullying of the whole campus that's why she chose to end her life." Rosé answered back. "The campus was too cruel for her."

"You did that?! Are you really that ruthless monster?! Just because you're scared for your title to get stolen by a nobody?! Is that it?! Huh Ryujin?!" Jisoo shouted pointing her point finger on Ryujin. "I will not be surprise if you turned out to be the murderer! Ah, wait. You are a murderer."

Ryujin knelt on the ground crying uncontrollably. No one dared to comfort her, we are all just watching her break down in front of us.

We are all too caught up in the moment, not noticing that Rosé already grabbed the black candle, lighting it. "I-I accidentally k-killed a person." She confessed. "I-It was an accident! I-I was... I was drunk and and it's already midnight, I was driving and h-he crossed t-the street! I noticed him but it's too late..."

"So, I assumed you used your family's power huh?" Bobby smirked.

"W-What?"

"You're here Rosé. Studying, living your fucking life instead of rotting in jail. Am I right?"

"I am too young to be in jail! I can't let that mistake ruin my future!" She shouted. Everything is a mess. They are shouting at one another, punching and pushing.

"What about you Jisoo? Tell us your secret."

She gripped on her candle, smirking in front. "You really wanna know my secret?"

"I killed my father. I killed him before he can decide to kill me and my mother. I killed him while he was sleeping. I stabbed him repeatedly until he lose his filthy life, but do you know what's worst? Until now I don't feel any guilt. I don't regret everything that I did. I killed him... senseless." I let myself fall on the chair gasping, I don't know if I needed air or I just need to get the hell out of this hell hole. It was too much.

Too suffocating.

I was being cornered by demons...

Or maybe

Just maybe...

I am one of them.

"Your turn Jennie Kim. The most angelic face of them all. What is your scariest secret?" Taehyung asked mockingly. They all stared at me waiting for me to speak, to spill my dark side.

Am I ready to share them my secret? Do I have a choice? None.

"I-I uh we... my sister and I got kidnapped w-when we were kids and I was scared that time all I wanted to do was to leave t-that place and when I saw an escape... I-I run without looking back... I left her. I was her older sister but I left my younger sister... I-I was scared. All I know was t-to escape and, and I heard her calling me, calling my name, begging me to come back but I didn't bother to turn back." I cried harder not knowing when to stop. It was to painful to recall that memory but I need to. I was struggling to breathe, to save myself from drowning. Until now I don't know if Ella already forgave me from what I did.

I left her all alone in that abandoned building and everyday I regret my decision. If only I could turn back the time.

I will save her.

I will surely save her.

I will choose to save her...

Even if it means losing my life.

Everyone continued to share their secrets, some are more heavy than our secrets and some are just lighter.

A little lighter.

Murder.

Rape.

Stealing.

Drugs.

We are like demons ready to get burn inside the this hell room, waiting for the judgement to come and take us all.

[Bravo! Bravo! Hah, would you look at that. I am not the only one who has dark secrets.]

The person laughed demonically, enjoying on what is happening.

[Alright alright, I am not that heartless like what you think of me. I'll let you all off the hook for now. But one thing's for sure.

I'll be back...

before graduation.]

Murderer's POV

One of them is lying.

Ah wait, I am lying.

Do they really think I'll tell them my true secret? Oh come on! I'll let them know who I am but right now? Let me enjoy the scene that was playing.

I was very much enjoying the movie in front of me. The secrets that was unfold just in front of my eyes. The way they cried, mourned and recalled the pain that they badly want to forget.

It was entertaining.

The secrets that should be long forgotten is now coming to life. The regrets that they tried to bury is now waving, smiling at them, hurting them in any way possible.

I will let them taste my wrath, my pain and when that day came... they will know who I am.

I'm so excited to see their shocked faces when they saw me.

The pain and remorse that they gave to me, I will make sure to give everything back to them.

I will let them see the face of their real mistake.

The face of their ugly past...

Is now coming after them.
