"Is she home yet?" "She said she'd call when she gets there." I drummed my fingers against the table as I wanted to know the state Younghoon was found in. I felt arms wrap around me and hot breaths on my neck. "I'm sure the police will catch whoever killed Younghoon. So, why not stop all of this and relax?" It was nice that Changmin cared about my health, but I didn't like the fact that he wanted to sweep it all under the rug. His phone rang and he eventually answered it. "You're home? Okay. Mhmm. Bye." "You can stay since you want to relax so much. I can't, knowing someone is out there who might be after us."

I rang her doorbell and was surprised by one of her dogs pouncing on me. "Oh my. Spirit, come here. I don't know why he did that. I apologize." I shook my head then asked her about Younghoon. "Let's see, he was lying down but his head was turned to the side. Left I believe. He was wearing pajamas and slippers. One would believe he died in his sleep." It would've been better had I actually been there to observe him like I did with Juyeon. "I'm sorry to ask this of you, but could you take me back to where you found him?" "Sure."

The sun was almost set, so I turned on my phone's flashlight. I looked around, but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Was he killed here or placed here? "Oh!" I turned around and waited for her to talk. "There was a plastic bag beside him. They believe that was the method." "So he died from suffocation?" She nodded then looked at the watch on her wrist. I could understand why as stabbing him would be messy and hard to hide if you don't plan beforehand. "Thank you, Ms. Yue. We can head back now." Just as we walked away, I saw something written in the dirt. "X?"

By the time I had gotten back, the sky had become completely dark. I closed the door behind me and found the place quiet. Too quiet. I walked as quietly as I could to Jaehyun's room and listened for any movement. "Nothing..." I went to our room and cracked it open slightly. "He's not here..." I went upstairs and checked Sangyeon's room. I saw them sitting in silence and wondered what they were doing. "Do you really think someone wants us all dead?" "Don't let Kevin get to you. He's just excited that he can play detective. It's not like he'll solve anything."

"But he may be onto something." "I'm in agreement with Jaehyun. He brought me along against my will at times too." I was crushed to hear that come from Changmin. I thought he'd at least be supportive of me, but it turns out I put too much trust in him. "You're all saying how he wants to play detective, but he's the only one out of all of us who's doing something. Don't you feel their deaths were planned or something?" "You too, Sangyeon?" "I just want to know who and why. I couldn't care less about anything else." I'm sure if I was present, none of this would have been spoken of. I decided to stay put and learn as much as I could, even if it hurt.

"Say, Changmin." "Yeah?" "Do you really love Kevin?" "You can't just change the topic." "He's avoiding the question which means he doesn't." "No, I do." "You sound unsure though." I heard something hit a hard surface and a gasp or two. "It's none of your business." "So, it's okay if I tell him what happened between you and Younghoon?" Everyone had fallen silent and I could feel the anxiety inside me rising. "Don't you dare open your mouth. Nothing happened between us." "Sure, and I'm the president." "Can we just get back on topic?"

"Liars are the worst friends."
