Ms. Kim

Chapter 12

The next day I was planning my lesson before school when the door opened. I looked to see Lisa walking to me. She got down on one knee and I felt tears brewing.

"This is a promise ring, I promise you a happy life, I promise you safety, I promise that when I graduate, nothing will stop me from loving you...will you accept my promise ring" I nodded and she put the ring on my hand. I kissed her and she kissed back softly. I pulled back and she gasped "Miss Kim we are in school" I giggled and closed my lesson book.

We talked for a good 20 minutes before she left and classes started. Once everyone was seated, I smiled "I'm in a good mood so today we're having a free day" they cheered and I giggled. I sat at my desk and watched them all converse.

After class the bell rang and Taeyoung walked to my desk "You look beautiful today, I was wondering if you wanted to meet up after-" before he could finish his sentence someone tapped him on his shoulder. He turned around and it was Mino.

"Leave the woman alone before you get suspended... John's girl is wearing a mini skirt" Taeyoung smiled and left. I looked at Mino and he smiled quickly before going to his seat. Once everyone was seated I smiled. Before I could say anything Jae walked in.

"Hello class, I'm officer Jae Joon. I'm sure you all are familiar with the situation. Miss Kim has been accused of having student affairs. All accusations have been cleared and she's no longer under investigation, all accusations were false" they clapped and cheered.

I smiled, Jae walked to me and handed me a paper "The request" I smiled and hugged him then he left. I looked at the class and one of the boys raised his hand.

"Is that your boyfriend?" I shook my head and he pointed to my ring "Then who gave you that?" I tried not to smile but I was failing horribly.

"Don't worry about it, today you guys can have a free day" they cheered and conversed among themselves. I glanced at Lisa and she was talking to Jungkook. She glanced at me and winked, my face turned a slight shade of pink but I cleared my throat and looked at my desk, why does she have this effect on me.

After class she stayed behind and locked the door. She closed the windows and sat on my lap, her scent was intoxicating. "This is why you were so happy yesterday" she kissed my lips softly and went to my neck. If I ask her about her past, will it ruin the mood?

"Lisa... where were you for five years?" it went silent, it was uncomfortably silent. She stopped kissing my neck and just sat there, I couldn't even feel her breath on my neck. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever until she broke the silence "Don't worry about it"

She looked at me with a cold expression "Lisa I am worried, I'm worried about you." I saw anger in her face. I've never seen her mad.

"I said drop it!" She yelled. She yelled at me. She got off my lap and started pacing "fine I'll go" I started walking to the door. As I put my hand on the doorknob, I felt her arms wrap around me.

"No, please don't leave me. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell I...I don't want you think any different of me" in this moment, I knew that Dara was right. "Talk to me and I'll stay"

It went silent again "ok...I'll talk" we went to my desk. She went to my computer and searched something "listen" she pressed play on a video and it was a news broadcast.

"Three men found dead in an abandoned warehouse and over twenty young girls aging five to thirteen were rescued. Multiple with rape wounds and several claiming to have been molested. One girl was not found, we are trying to get the information-" she turned off the broadcast and I was completely shocked.

"Were you-" she put her fingers over my lips and searched something else.

It was another news broadcast "Multiple deaths have been recorded in recent years. Each of these deaths are of man who have criminal records as pedophiles, sex offenders, and known rapists. This assassin is known as Twilight. Is this a good thing or is taking a life still an unthinkable crime-" she turned it off and I was so confused.

I looked at her and tilted my head. She took her bottom lip and pulled it down, in black letters was the word "Twilight" everything clicked. When I was telling her about Bobby and how she had no emotion. "You're not going to sit here and tell me you were an assassin; you can't even look me in my eyes without blushing"

"No, I wasn't Twilight, she saved me, those men did unimaginable things to girls. She killed them all" I was completely shocked. I was also confused

"So where is this assassin, are the deaths still happening?" she giggled and shook her head. I was very confused "How have you not figured it out yet? I want you to figure this out on your own. We're not messing around until you tell me who it is" my jaw dropped as she walked out. She can't be serious.

•••

"She can't be serious can she Dara?" I looked up at Dara who was taking sip of her water "I take it that you're worried about the 'no messing around' part" I nodded and she giggled.

"Well, it's hard, you know a lot of people and if this person has killed before then they are sure to be crazy...right?" I nodded and she chuckled "they don't need to necessarily be crazy, they would probably be intimidating though. I mean, you could be this person but I wouldn't be able to tell because I won't know based off appearance" she nodded

"I totally agree" she looked out the window and it snapped. The most intimidating person I know is Dara. She can adapt to any place she's innocent and she unnoticeable. Her smile is so pure that you would never guess she was a person who's killed. Now that I think about...Dara doesn't get mad...I've never seen her express many emotions. I heard Dara giggle so I looked at her.

"You're at the part, the part where you figure it out" it was a Little creepy that she wasn't looking at me. "The part where you go back and evaluate the actions of a person. The part where you go back and think" I'm a little scared.

"That chill you just got from me simply talking to you. That crucial part, it's like your life flashing before your eyes...right before you die." She looked at me "Who's to say I won't kill you right now, technically you're like every other one of my victims." She was probably searching for fear. I just giggled and sipped my tea "I'll admit to being a pedophile but not a rapist, besides...you can't kill me, you love me too much" she giggled and so did I.

"My lips are sealed" she smiled and winked before walking off. My best friend is an assassin, who would've thought. She should've killed Bobby-...she should've severely hurt Bobby, yeah, let's go with that.
