We all quietly sat in the dining room as a lot had happened within a few hours. "I'm sure there was a trick...but what?" "Why do you look like you're thinking hard about something...?" I looked at Haknyeon who gave me a suspicious look. "Wouldn't you? We just lost two friends in one day." "I wonder why..." I looked at Sangyeon who looked uncomfortable sitting here. I looked at Jaehyun who seemed disinterested as he was looking at his phone. It's only been a few weeks since he joined our friend group, but it annoyed me to see that he didn't give a shit.

I looked at Hyunjoon who's been mostly quiet the entire time we've been here. He was never one to talk, but it was evident that he cared as he looked genuinely upset. "Haknyeon, you'll room with Jaehyun. It'll be better to stay in groups rather than be alone in case someone is after all of us." Haknyeon nodded in response and Jaehyun gave a grunt.

I was reading online about alibi tricks when I heard Changmin scream. I rushed out and saw him on the floor, leaning against the wall. "Changmin..." I looked and saw a rather sharp knife stuck in the wall above him. "Letters...?" I took a mental note, but it didn't make sense to me at all. "YNL?" I looked down at Changmin who was now shaking. I found it strange that no one else had come out of their room to see who had screamed. I didn't want to believe that Changmin staged it, but I couldn't rule out that possibility. I took the knife out of the wall while covering my hand with my shirt.

We quietly sat in the room as I comforted Changmin. "I'm going to need you to be honest with me." "Huh...?" "What happened out there?" I honestly didn't want him to remember such a terrible thing, but it could be a clue towards our friends' deaths. "I was walking back to the room and something whizzed past me. I stopped and looked and saw the knife sticking out of the wall and screamed." What really bothered me is that I was the only one to check. It's not like he screamed low enough for only me to hear. I wanted to investigate, but I couldn't stand the idea of Changmin being alone.

"Oh, we heard it. We assumed he was attacked by another bug or lost a game." I don't blame Jaehyun for thinking that as Changmin usually does scream for those reasons. We headed upstairs as I started wondering how he knew I was talking about Changmin. I knocked on Sangyeon's door and it was answered by Hyunjoon. "Did we hear a scream? No, we didn't, right?" I saw Sangyeon nod his head then go back to reading. How was it possible that two people could hear it but the others not? I decided to put that to the side and investigate the now empty bedroom.

I looked through Juyeon's bag, knowing that the police might've taken anything that was deemed suspicious. "Hm, a book? Juyeon doesn't read books like these." Changmin reached over to take it out, but I stopped him. "We shouldn't be touching this with our bare hands. Are there gloves or something around here?" I quietly followed him as he led me to a closet full of tools. "Should we just take the whole thing?" "Leave it for now."

I looked through the bag as Changmin flipped through the book. "Hey, it's marked off right here." He leaned over and showed me a page with a bit of writing and a highlighted sentence. "Is that Juyeon's writing?" "I'm not sure...If only we had a sample of his writing." I looked at the highlighted sentence and felt somewhat uneasy about it.

"Friends can be your worst enemy, Julia."
