" The cell phones ? Right . "  Officer Hwang nods and writes on his notebook . It looked like he just remembered something . " Somebody played a prank and it's the very same reason why we were in detention . Mr. Park found those in our bags  . "  Jihun explains to the police officer as we all agreed . Principal Jung doesn't look too surprised but I shrug . Those phones were the last thing in my head .

" Mr. Park told me that none of you claimed the phones , so it must've been a prank . " He taps his pen on his notebook as he maintains eye contact with us . " Did it ever cross your mind that Sangmin might've messed with you guys ? " Yunjin looks at Officer Hwang with a confused look on her face . " Why would he do that ? " , she pauses " He also had a phone in his bag , that doesn't make sense . " It had me thinking twice about what happened that day.

My throat runs dry as I took a sip of Yongha's Americano . It was bitter . " Have any of you got into trouble with Sangmin recently ?" Officer Hwang asks . " He made an app called 'Secret Specials ' , right ? " I nodded while fiddling with my hands . " You guys have never been on it ? "

" I don't think any of us have . " Seojun says while smiling slightly , Officer Hwang suddenly gets serious as the atmosphere changes quickly . " Now I only have two questions and I'll go quickly ." I look at Yongha who was beside me and mouthed to him ' What is going on ? ' , he replies to me with an ' I don't know . '

The police officer startled us all . " Did you ever worry about ending up on Sangmin's app because of something ? "

" Not me . " I say , but my voice wasn't so confident , I glance away from Officer Hwang and catch everyone looking differently .

Yunjin's gone pale as a ghost . Eunhye became flustered with her cheeks red . Haerin looked down and fiddled with her hands . Yuki bites her lip and Minji had her eyes wide open . I look over to my side as Yongha took a big gulp of his coffee . Seojun tilts his chair and looks over to the side , Jihun fixes his shirt and sits properly while Hyunjae runs a hand through his hair , sighing .

" Everybody's got secrets , am I right ? "

At that very moment as if everyone has the same thoughts at that time . " In other words , Yun Sangmin's death was no accident , it was a planned murder . "

We looked at him shockingly , that means Sangmin's death wasn't just an accident . It was a murder . Maybe Yunjin was right , all he did was drink water . Officer Hwang continues to look at us one by one . " If the ten of you haven't appeared in that app then , that means you're all hiding something . Which means that all of you have a motive to kill him . "

Jihun gets pissed off as he crosses his arms . " Are you guys really accusing us for this ? " I didn't want to believe it either but it looks like all of us were accused of some kind of murder we didn't even do . Yukihara looks at Principal Jung who looked disappointed with all of us . I couldn't care less , we didn't do anything to Sangmin .

" None of you have any evidence that any of us did it , right ? " Haerin asks as she prepares to stand up , " This is a false accusation against all of us , we're just students ! " She looked mad and breathes deeply .

Eunhye stands up and mumbles . " I don't have time for this ." She storms out , Jihun follows her as we were all left there . "All of you can leave now . " We went out of the room . Some of us were annoyed and some of us kept quiet . It's like no one dared to talk . I see Jihun and Eunhye as we all went to the exit .

" That wasn't fair . Accusing us of murder wasn't fair . " Hyunjae says to all of us , he looked so tired and frustrated . Tomorrow is Wednesday and I hope the news doesn't spread about us being murderers . Because if that happens then I don't know what I'd do to get out of this mess .

" I just wanna wake up and hope this isn't real . " Yunjin looked hopeless , all of us were .
