The cold breath of men was so felt on So Hyun's lips. The girl bit her inner lips, trying to dodge.

He thought of all ways to escape and stay away from the strange figure. However, his body was completely squeezed. Just a little more…

***

So Hyun stopped moving. His body was getting colder, as if it was freezing completely. He took a deep breath, then held for a while until both cheeks slightly bloated. The man's lips were also getting closer to his. And…

Buahgh!

The man immediately distanced his face from So Hyun with his hand holding his lips. The man grimaced while holding his wounded lips.

Sensing her body temperature returning to normal and being able to move again, So Hyun opened his eyes again. His head hurt a lot and came back. His hands began to grope his forehead. A throbbing began to be felt on his forehead.

Being both surprised, So Hyun slightly approached the man while apologizing. He slightly forgot the behavior of the man who almost killed him by freezing himself. He also forgot his fear.

“Sorry! I'm really sorry.” He said while cupping his hands. ‘Not only your lips hurt, my forehead also hurts.’ his mind grimaces.

The man was still holding onto his wounded lips. The wound that was pierced right at the front of his lips looked so red. Hearing So Hyun's apology, the man snorted in annoyance.

He wiped something that flowed from his lips, then smiled cunningly, “Bby too. Usually, women who are squeezed like that immediately resigned. Turns out, you're different.”

So Hyun was silent for a while, he stared at the man for a long time. The skin of men is not human. His skin was too white for a human and the color of his eye lens was also different from that of a typical human.

“Good. This time, I let you fight. But, for the next time.. You have to make sure all your friends are safe.” said the man smiled cunningly, then walked casually until disappeared behind the corner of the school.

Realizing that something was strange, So Hyun's body paled again. The severed hand was still there, but it had stopped moving. Nausea and dizziness back up her. He sat down with a blank look. At that very instant, someone came to him casually.

“What are you doing here?” Jimin asked with a hand that he put his hand into the pocket of his school trousers. He could tell So Hyun was here, because Dahee had passed him.

So Hyun immediately turned his head and looked at Jimin with a trembling gaze, he did not reply at all. His head felt like it was in a swirl after seeing something on the mysterious man.

Leisurely, Jimin stepped foot towards So Hyun. Without seeing what he stepped on, Jimin continued to step towards So Hyun with a cold look. In the end, one of his legs stepped on the severed hand.

“What is this?” Jimin looked down, saw what he was stepping on. “Yes! Whose hand is this?!” pekiknya. So shocked, he kicked the broken hand so hard.

The hand suddenly moved again. This time it flew like a bird, and was ready to scratch like an eagle. Seeing that, Jimin could not help but hold back his fear. Without thinking about the cold attitude and so on, he immediately pulled So Hyun's hand and asked him to run.

“Come, Run!!” jimin said with his frightened face.

Hearing Jimin's terrified cry, So Hyun was smiling. I don't know, he was eager to laugh at Jimin's expression when stepping on the hand of the broken woman.

Namjoon exited the classroom with hurried steps. He walked while holding his forehead in frustration. He also saw his watch.

10 Minutes from the break bell rang, Namjoon was eager to shout to the IPA teacher. He could confirm that So Hyun was waiting for him in the back garden chair of the school. Therefore, he walked in a hurry.

“Why is the teacher happy to talk in front of the class with a very long duration?!” Namjoon walked while grumbling alone.

As he was about to descend the stairs next to the turn of the IPA laboratory, a hand stretched out to hold his shoulder. Then the owner of the hand stopped him.

Namjoon stared at the person who was deliberately blocking his path. Taehyung was already standing before him with a sharp look. However, Namjoon responded with a questioning look.

“What's up?” ask Namjoon.

Taehyung's hand was still on Namjoon's shoulder with an unchanging look. He said with a little cold, “Sunbae, is sunbae keeping secrets?”

Namjoon's gaze grew even stranger. He was confused by Taehyung's sudden question, especially without such an origin. Suddenly he felt his palms sweat, “What are you talking about?”

Taehyung snorted dismissively, “Do not think that if I do not know,” Taehyung released his hand from Namjoon's shoulder, which was then moved to feel his bruise. “Sunbae, is keeping such a deep secret against So Hyun?”

Namjoon's gaze again turned into that of a disturbed person. He slightly gulped his saliva. Taehyung's question was like attacking him all of a sudden.

Taehyung still looked at his new senior with a sharp look. Feeling disturbed, Namjoon immediately cleared his throat like he felt nothing.

“Don't talk like that. I never hid any secrets from you guys, nor So Hyun. Why do you look so suspicious?” Namjoon denied with a relaxed, forced expression.

“Because I can't be fooled,” Taehyung again replied.

“Why do you look so scared of sunbae?” serdik Taehyung again. He seemed to be interrogating his senior.

“You have mostly read manhwa apparently.” Namjoon said with a breath.

“It has nothing to do.” replied Taehyung coldly.

“Obviously there. The manhwa was full of high imagination,” Namjoon smiled for a while, then stepped past Taehyung from beside him. “Do not suspect anyone carelessly.” He returned to his feet as he walked next to Taehyung.

Namjoon just passed by casually. There was some relief when he was able to finish Taehyung's serdikan. But, it turns out Taehyung's dikandan did not get there.

When Namjoon had walked down 4-5 steps, Taehyung again sneered cynically and coldly. The bruise on his cheeks further added to the seriousness and sharpness of his gaze.

“Are you the perpetrator of all these murders?” Taehyung who had turned his body, looked at Namjoon. “What does sunbae do everything? Or, sunbae is not human?”

Namjoon immediately stopped his footsteps. He snorted for a moment, then cleared his throat. Then, he exhaled his breath.

Apparently, Taehyung is indeed a very difficult person to be shunned. The curiosities, indeed, made Namjoon feel so disturbed.

Without saying anything else, Namjoon again walked down the school steps in silence. Meanwhile, Taehyung was still staring at Namjoon's back which was down the stairs, until it was not visible.

Feeling ignored, Taehyung immediately sighed. His bruising was still so pronounced as he spoke. But, her sense of suspicion towards Namjoon was very strong. He will not give up on knowing the truth. Yes, his determination is round.

Jimin and So Hyun were in the school cafeteria. Their breaths were still irregular as they galloped away from the flying severed hand.

They were seated at a considerable distance, even though they were still in one seat. I don't know, maybe So Hyun was still disappointed by this morning.

They were silent without a word. So Hyun lowered his head while smiling lightly. Meanwhile, Jimin was still silent could not bear to see the flying hand.

Thankfully, the hand no longer flew after him. Jimin glared at So Hyun who was still bowed silently. He still gathered the courage to ask So Hyun to speak because of So Hyun's request in class.

“Huph!” So Hyun's voice suddenly smothered his own mouth. His fear and nausea had now changed with the laughter he was holding.

Jimin turned to look at So Hyun again. He looked at his best friend with a confused frown, “You why? Are you okay?” It crossed his mind, that the person he was carrying this run was someone else, not So Hyun. Feeling that thought flashed, his body became goosebumps.

So Hyun was still silent with the sound of choked laughter. Both of his hands were still closing his mouth, his head was also still lowered.

Seeing that, what Jimin's mind said grew. He felt that he was wrong ‘carrying’ run ‘orang’. He thought the person next to him was not So Hyun, but ‘lain’.

“So Hyun..” Jimin started to extend his hand to touch So Hyun's shoulder.

Not until Jimin hands to touch So Hyun's shoulder, the girl releases her hands. Then, laugh off without looking at the surroundings.

The students in the cafeteria turned to the source of the sound. So Hyun laughed so widely while holding his stomach. Jimin quickly pulled his hand.

“Puahaha!” so Hyun's laughter grew louder. Because of the gel, the girl let out her tears. The laughter did not stop either.

Jimin immediately walked away from So Hyun. He thought what his mind said was true. The person he was running with was not So Hyun. Yeah, his mind also says that.

The students there looked at Jimin and So Hyun with frowns. However, it did not last long. They returned with their trays and continued eating. But, Jimin was not calm with his own thoughts.

When Jimin was about to get up, and leave. So Hyun's hand immediately pulled Jimin's ring and pinky fingers. He gripped her a little strongly, still with a state of laughter.

Because So Hyun held him away all of a sudden, Jimin's body went headlong. So Hyun's hands were so cold and the color of his nails was also blue. However, the girl looked very happy now.

“Yes, what's wrong with you?” jimin asked with a little fear. Honestly, the cold temperature that was on So Hyun, seemed to move into his body. His temples also let out cold sweat. He hesitates that the girl is the real So Hyun.

“Do you not feel? Hahaha,” So Hyun again replied with interspersed laughter. “Expression of your face earlier.” So Hyun resumed his laughter. However, his voice was already a little slower than before.

“My face why?” Jimin tilted his head. He feels a little calm now.

“Your face! Holy hooch! So ugly! Hahaha,” So Hyun is still laughing. “If anyone had taken a photo of your face. You won't be able to stop laughing like me. Oh my God, why is Jimin so bad?” So Hyun continued to laugh at Jimin's expression he saw while running earlier.

“Yes, don't talk about anything.” said Jimin with a face that is not relaxed. His doubts began to disappear, he was sure the girl was So Hyun, not the ‘lain’ one.

“I'm serious. You look Ugly, so ugly!” So Hyun was still laughing. But, slowly he stopped his laughter. The corner of his eyes was already wet due to tears ‘bahagia’nya it.

“Ah, sorry.” So Hyun said as he released his grip on Jimin's two fingers.

“Tak apa.” sahut Jimin fast. He did not expect So Hyun to look so happy, and held off. Wasn't he disappointed with Jimin? I don't know. Jimin also did not think about it.

“I if I can be honest. Your face is ugly. Your eyes are in line. Mouth wide open. And, your nostrils, oh, my God. I can't imagine it anymore.” So Hyun explained wiping the corner of his eye.

Jimin, who had risen, sat back in that chair. He looked at his friend with a little smile. For a long time he had not seen So Hyun laugh to shed tears since the tragedy happened.

Ah wrong, he just remembered that So Hyun had laughed like this too while in the hospital. But, for some reason his laughter in the hospital and at the moment, felt completely different.

“Hmm... Well, I'm ugly,” Jimin said with a faint smile. He looked at So Hyun with his apologetic gaze, “Have you forgiven me now?” He asked a little carefully.

So Hyun immediately stopped his activities. He looked at Jimin with a different look than the one before. The girl's gaze looked a little flat, no sense of cheerfulness. Then So Hyun turned to his smile at the end, “Sure.”

Hearing his apology being accepted, Jimin immediately turned to a happy smile. But, there was still a rather strange feeling in him.

Why did So Hyun forgive her so quickly? Though. ah already. Most importantly for Jimin, this ‘-only’ friend is no longer disappointed in him.

“You know? It turns out that as much as you hate your best friend, everything must be defeated just like that. Because friends are different from lovers. When you fight, you will come back and forget about it. We are too. Sorry if I was selfish with you this morning. I admit what Taehyung said is true. Thank you too, you came to the back garden.” explained So Hyun at length. His smile seemed so domineering now.

“You're right. I like those words. The way to deal with problems in friendship is to laugh loudly, then forget about it.” added Jimin with his smile. Relieved, So Hyun returned as before.

“Quickly!” So Hyun replied in a voice that sounded very agreeable. “You know? I think you and Eun Soo are the second most valuable people after family. Although, Eun Soo.. yes you know, I still feel that togetherness.”

“I too.” timpal Jimin. “Sorry I lied to you. And, forgive Taehyung too. Me and him.”.

“Already. I've forgotten it because of your ugly face earlier.” interrupted So Hyun quickly. He smiled at Jimin as if he wanted to laugh again.

Jimin and So Hyun exchanged smiles with each other. They were a little bit clambered for no reason. However, So Hyun immediately remembered something. He stared at his watch for a while, then his body slightly pecked. Both of his eyes were slightly slanted. His palm immediately hit his own forehead.

“Gosh!” squealing So Hyun with a slightly panicked face.

“What's up?” jimin asked confusedly.

“I forgot that I had to meet Namjoon sunbae!!” he said with a loud enough voice.

***

Namjoon walked quickly towards the back garden of the school in a hurry. She felt bad for So Hyun. The IPA teacher did spend his time, coupled with Taehyung earlier. A little bit, he stared at his watch. It was 15 minutes late from the promised time.

Namjoon stopped his footsteps on the grass of the school garden. He glanced around her with an annoyed look. His breathing was slightly hunting due to the hurry earlier. Unfortunately, he did not get So Hyun's figure there. With a feeling of annoyance, Namjoon walked towards the old garden chair

He looked at the chair full of regret. Then, he kicked the chair hard until the sound of an iron hum. The old iron that was part of the leg of the chair was bent due to Namjoon's quite hard kick. His hands were tightly clenched. The anger is starting to rise now. Two people have become his hindrance.

“Damn it!” says rough.

Taehyung walks with a backpack hanging over his shoulder. His left hand was still fumbling over his cheek. The bruising pulsation was reduced or disappeared as well.

His right hand held a manhwa book and a notebook at once. But guess what, Taehyung just opened the manhwa sheet. He simply ignored the notebook.

After school, Taehyung walks into the lobby alone. Although both of his eyes looked serious with the manhwa in his hands. But, he can walk without bumping into anyone.

Those who greeted him, he ignored it for the sake of reading the manhwa. The glare of his slightly piercing eyes, looked so visible. There was even someone passing next to him with a piercing look, yet Taehyung still ignored that.

The one who was staring with that piercing gaze, walked fixedly in front of Taehyung. Taehyung glared at who was walking in front of him.

It was a man, yet it was wearing a different uniform to the school uniform he was wearing. He also saw the man for the first time.

When he got to the front of the school gate, the man walked towards the student stop. The usual stop was where So Hyun and Jimin went home.

Feeling that the person was unimportant, Taehyung immediately walked on the sidewalk. This time, he went home alone. He chose to stay away from So Hyun for some time.

The presence of people dressed in different uniforms, makes Taehyung's mind like adding to the burden. Before he went any further, Taehyung turned his head towards the stop once more. That guy's still there.

.

.

After a while, the bus came and the man got on the bus. Taehyung was still staring at the person's movements. It seemed, that person was staring at So Hyun and Jimin who had just walked out of the school gate.

The bus passed in front of Taehyung at medium speed. A gust of wind that collided with the kinetic bus, making her strands of hair blow in the wind. He could see the man staring out the window.

“I just found out, if this school accepts new students again.” Taehyung muttered, his eyes still staring at the bus that the person was riding.

***

A man dressed in a different uniform was blocking a woman in a school uniform between his body and the wall. The man's hand was directly to the left of the girl's head in uniform by clutching the girl's hand tightly. The man's right hand also held the woman's chin, until the girl's head turned to look at him.

The two of them were in a quiet hallway near the school library. The girl's body trembled in fear when it had to stare at the man. Moreover, the man's gaze seemed to pierce his eyes.

The man's grasp was also so tight that he had to swallow his pain and ringing sound. Plus, the man also banged his back against the wall which had a slight bump of the pole.

“Tell me now!” the man said in a very cold voice.

Dahee –the woman– is still silencing her mouth in fear. This man he did not recognize continued to add strength to his grip on his hand and chin. He was still so shocked by the sudden appearance of the man.

“Halo, miss?  Do you know the girl named So Hyun where?” ask the men once again, this time in a dismissive tone.

Inevitably, Dahee answered the man's question. He gulped his saliva to moisten the throat that felt very dry. The man's gaze had frightened her so much.

“Ah! So Hyun earlier..” Dahee replied in a very slow tone that could not be heard clearly. However, the man could tell from Dahee's lip movements.

Immediately, the man released his tight grip on Dahee. Then, he immediately left Dahee just like that.

When the man had left him, Dahee's body that felt very very weak immediately slumped. The books he had brought were scattered everywhere. The girl could only sit with messy hair from slumping against the wall just like that.

The uniformed man walked towards the place Dahee mentioned. Like what Dahee said, he walked towards the stop near the school. He disguised himself as a schoolboy waiting for the bus to arrive.

When he turned his head, So Hyun was walking with his friend. Seeing that scene, the man immediately smiled cunningly which was triumphant. Just then, a bus stopped and opened the door. The man immediately stepped one foot up the stairs of the bus, then muttered softly.

“Kim So Hyun, it seems you have to be more careful now.” muttered the man followed by his sneaky ruckus.
