ON NEWS

"Attention everyone! The most wanted criminal, 'The Joker' is back in the city of Seoul again! He has murdered more than 20 people in a single night! We advise you all to stay inside your houses for at least a month until the police gets him. Don't come out, especially at night, and close all your windows. Also, a very important thing! Stay away from anyone who has a tattoo saying 'V'. It's his sign on his wrist which only means 'grave danger'. I repeat! Citizens of Seoul! Don't come out of your houses after midnight! Be safe and protect your family by taking preventative measures!"

The news reporter practically shouted while the man facing the T.V. sighed in complete annoyance. Even though he was infront of the television, his all focus was on the papers before him. He pushed up his steel-rimmed spectacles using his index finger to get a clearer view. He was a little old and so, his eyesight was too becoming like his age. Old...

The two tall young boys who were sitting beside the old man, had their jaws hung open in disbelief while hearing the reporter's words, causing them to look at the old man, their dad in disbelief.

"Dad! You hear that? The Joker is back and now, these reporters know it too."

The old back huffed in response before tearing his gaze from the papers he was reading and focusing it all on the young boy infront of him.

"What can we even do? We knew that it had to come out sooner or later. Don't think too much about it, Yoongi." He replied back to his son who had wide eyes all the time.

"I know but still... They're gonna make a fuss out of it and use it as a hot topic." Yoongi muttered under his breath. He was so done with the news reporters. Whenever some kind of tragedy happened, they used it up as a headline for almost 3 months and that's what provoked Yoongi.

"C'mon Yoongles. It's fine. Dad will probably deal with it in his own way, right Dad?" The second son asked, nibbling on his lower lip, curiously waiting for his dad's answer.

"For sure. It's my job to solve such cases and there's nothing new in it." He simply shrugged his shoulders at his second son, Namjoon.

Right... Their father was a detective. It was a very common thing for them to witness such cases and be used as bait sometimes but their father was always there to rescue them. This only ensured how much they loved each other... Their father kept trying to leave his job as it was too dangerous for his children but Yoongi and Namjoon always assured him that it was fine. They knew that being a detective was their dad's dream job and so, they didn't want to ruin it.

They had a small family. Their mother had passed away, due to cancer when they were young kids.

"Yeah... You're probably right. Let's just wait and see what happens." Yoongi nodded his head, being a little assured and hesitant. He didn't know why but when the reporters kept saying the same thing again and again, it made him angry. He felt that they were making fun of someone's problems.

"Okay fine! Don't think too much Yoongi. Anyways, where's your dear sis?" Their dad winked, emphasizing the word 'sis' with sarcasm latched to his voice. The boys loved teasing their sister and the way she became red as a tomato in embarrassment always made them feel successful and proud.

"Oh right! That pig is probably sleeping! Gotta go wake her up!" Yoogi smiled, showing his gummy teeth with an evil expression.

...

Miso

"What the hell, dad?!" I shouted out in desperation, being so done with these people. I was technically, in my deep slumber, and Yoongi carelessly jumped on me which made me scared to the core! I literally thought that a scary creature was trying to kill me! "I hate you all so much! Is that how you wake someone up?"

"Mmm-Hmm... If you sleep till so late. You know the time?" Namjoon questioned with one eyebrow raised. I frowned before looking at the clock only to scoff.

"It's 7:30 a.m.! I could've slept some more!" I shouted in anger but got even more bewildered when Yoongi clicked his tongue.

"Miso... Did you forget? You need to go to your new school."

School...?

Oh yeah...

That piece of shit...

Attend it every day just to feel sleepy...

"Wait a second! Why didn't you wake me up earlier?! I-I'm gonna be late!" I stuttered with wide eyes. Firstly, go to school to get bored and if you get late, it's a cherry on top! The teacher will give thirty-five minutes of scolding until her lesson gets over...

"Then move your ass faster if you don't wanna be late, pig!" Namjoon joined Yoongi's cult and smirked at me which made me even more annoyed. These two will never stop teasing, huh?!

"Fuck you!" I whispered out.

"Nope! No profanities Miso! You're still young! Learn to be polite." Dad scolded. Why though? I mean who cares... Half of the world's population cusses a lot these days. Don't you agree?

I sighed before biting my inner cheek in annoyance. There was a question in my mind that I was dying to ask.

"Dad? Why did you change my high school?" I finally blurted out, regretting my question when he sent a sharp glare my way. I just don't know... The last thing I remember about me is, that I was trying to save a student from falling off the school building but got pushed down instead. After that, I found myself in the hospital with my father and brothers. Most of my memories had disappeared. I don't even remember the girl's face whom I was saving... It's still blurred.

Silence.

"No questions Miso. Didn't I already tell you not to talk about all those things?" He replied in a curt manner, making me flinch with his tone.

He's furious...

But why...?

"Don't worry. Jisoo is in your new school. You won't be all alone."

A confusing smile made its way up to my lips. Jisoo... My childhood bestfriend. We had been separated when dad had to leave the city due to his promotion but now she's back here.

"True..." I muttered in a daze and dashed towards the bathroom to brush my teeth. I was already late and didn't want any more shoutings.

...

THUD!

I closed the door in hurry, not caring if it was banging. I mean, I was late, what do you even expect?

"Bye, dad! Bye bros! oops! sorry... It's hoes!" I smiled cheekily when they gritted their teeth before gripping the metal door-knob. Once I got a complete hold of it, I opened it up but got interrupted by my father's words.

"Take care of yourself, dear! Have fun in your new school!" Dad exclaimed, making my steps halt. An unknowing sigh left my lips. New school? Again...? Why dad? What is the truth? Why are you lying even when you know I know something is wrong?

"I will. Take care, you too." I forced smiled at him before completely walking out of the door and closing it softly.

...

I soon plugged in my earphones, hummed to my favorite song, and walked towards the school.

There was a sudden heavy sound behind me... It was like... Like someone was walking behind me. Whenever I stopped, the person behind me stopped aswell.

Is someone following me?

What.

The.

Duck.

Pushing my hair back with my long fingers, I turned around, trying to witness another body but... There was... Nothing...

The street was completely empty with just me walking on it.

Silence... Complete silence... There was just the wind blowing which made some leaf tips touch each other, causing a hissing sound when they brushed and collided with each other.

"I'm watching too much horror these days..." I frowned. Shaking my head in disapproval, I began walking again. Why would someone even follow me? I'm just a normal, average teen-high schooler who has nothing so precious to give to anyone.

I exhaled out loudly, calming down my fastened up heartbeats, and finally walked through the school gates, still feeling the weird sound of someone walking...
