Han Yeri’s

It’s been a week since that incident happened. The school is still talking about Taera’s death because the anonymous account from the portal keeps on posting about Taera and the unknown accomplice, they keep on saying the accomplice was Seungyoun. Everyone is so curious about the accomplice they even try to hacked the account but they can’t.

My brother and Seungyoun stopped talking to each other. Eunsang and I are always together ever since that incident happened but I always insisting I will stay next to Seungyoun but Eunsang keeps on clinging with me. the reason I want to stay with Seungyoun is because I know people will try to hurt him since he is now powerless in our school and this is the only way I could be with Seungyoun.

I finally reach the school. I grab the box of donut and rush in the basement of our school. After that thing happened Seungyoun keeps on staying here. I don’t know if he is reminiscing the scene of him and Taera kissin-- wait? why do I sound like a jealous delulu?

I opened the door and I saw him there sleeping. I slowly closed the door. And try to scan the room if it’s only me and him. I was shookt when I saw Eunsang in the kitchen. right, keep on interrupting us. I placed the donut in front of eunsang in the table.

I went to Seungyoun and lightly shake him. He opened his eyes, I smile at him. I noticed his puffy eyes. I want to sigh but I don’t want him to worry. I didn’t bother to open my mouth, I just tapped him and point to the donut in the kitchen. He was hesitant at first but luckily he went to the kitchen with me.

“Did you see the news in the portal?” Eunsang said while scrolling in his phone. He looks so funny because he put the donut in his middle finger as if it was a ring.

“What news?” I said and grabbed the donut in the box.

“that Yohan asked you out” He said

“Here’s a rumor that you and him are dating” He added

“No! We are not dating!” I said and look at Seungyoun. He was looking at me with a blank face. After seconds he stand up from his seat and went outside. I glared at Eunsang and he looks confused.

“You dumb” I said to him.

“Why?” he whinned

“Nevermind. Don’t leave me here okay? I’ll get some rest. Wake me up if it’s 9, I’ll skip the first class.” I said, he nods at me and continue to browse in his phone.

I went to the room where I used to sleep ever since I came here. I sigh when I see Taera’s things was in the bed also the box of Shin-ae’s. I placed taera’s belongings in the side table. I heard that a metal was dropped so I kneel down and look under the bed. There it is, a key. I placed the box in the floor. I noticed that the tape was detached. Did someone opened it?

Because of curiosity, I opened the box. Her notebooks are still there. I lifted her notebooks and I saw a box. I pull it out of the box and wipe the dusks covering the box. I opened it and I saw some letters. It was from Seungyoun. It was a love letter since there are hearts.

I was in the middle of deciding if wanting to hurt myself or just don’t read the letters. I went to the door and locked it. Yes, I decided to read it.

I opened all the letters, It was Seungyoun confessing his love for Shin-ae. I didn’t feel anything. I’m not jealous or anything. I knew Seungyoun is sincere about what he felt for Shin-ae. After reading all the letters, I noticed the small box inside the box where all the love letters are placed.

I opened the box and there is a key. This is familiar, where did I saw this? I grabbed the key in the side table. It was the same key with Taera’s key. I heard a knock in the door so Immediately slides the two key in my pocket. I quickly put Shin-ae’s belongings. After that I went to open the door, Eunsang was standing in front of the door.

“Let’s go in the gym, there will a announcement” He said. I nod at him.

We both went to the gym. I scattered my eyes to the gym that is almost filled with students. I’m looking for Seungyoun. I can’t see him. Eunsang and I sat in front with Dohyon and Dongpyo. It was the first time I saw Dongpyo again. He looks like he lost a lot of weight and the black circle in his eyes are clearly visible. Eunsang and I sat down. I sat next to Dongpyo while Eunsang sat next to me. After minutes Dohyon change his seat. He sit next to Eunsang.

A lot of things changed after that incident happen. I guess everyone is still in shocked and scared. Our school gave us a week to enter school but they won’t do class. I can do not go to school if I want to, but the fact that Seungyoun is staying in school makes me want to stay here forever.

I saw Seungyoun walk in front of us with wonyoung. They are talking. My eyes follow him, they sat in front too but they are very far from us. I sigh. I remove my gaze from them when I saw Seungyoun look at us. I look at Dongpyo who’s sitting next to me. I looked at Dohyon who’s sitting next to Eunsang.

“Dohyon?” I called him

“yes noona?” he asked

“Do you want to go with me in the cafeteria?” I asked

“I can go with you” Eunsang retorted

“Yes, Noona” Dohyon said

“Stay here Eunsang” I said.

He nod at me. Dohyon and I stand up from our sit and left.
