|Oh Look, A Bloody Intruder|

▶️

Previously on Kim Academy...

"RED DEATH, ONE DEAD, ONE BOY. HE IS COMING." The male student screamed.

"What the fuck was that." The older looked towards the hallway where the student ran.

"Who is he?"

"Jung Hoseok. He's in our grade but he has some kind of brain damage or whatever ever since he was born."

Red Death,
One Dead,
One Boy.

The next day was the usual.

Waking up 7:25 in the morning with the help of his alarm.

He then starts his daily routine.

First, he washes his face, changes into his perfectly ironed uniform, then brushes his teeth. He styles his hair the way he does it every day, and then sprays himself a cologne he changes every two days because on some days he liked to smell different.

He then takes his school bag downstairs as Jeehin waits for him in the dining room with breakfast.

And as the usual, he has a slice of toast with just butter, a bowl of fruit salad and a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Everything was the way it was.

Nothing unusual.

Until he stepped his foot in school.

Though the school seemed to have the same tension, Taehyung knew something was off.
Something was definitely out of place.

But at the same time, everything was the same.

As he was making his way over to his locker, he spotted the one and only Jungkook.

"Good morning." Taehyung greeted not so enthusiastically, standing next to the younger.

"Good morning Taehyung." Jungkook replied as he unlocked his combination for his locker and stuffed his coat inside. Taehyung noticed how Jungkook smelled like roasted morning coffee which he suddenly wanted, though he never drank highly caffeinated drinks.

"Hey," The older said as he looked around. "do you feel like something's kind of off today?"

Jungkook stopped to look at him.
"Taehyung, you do realize it hasn't even been a week since I transferred here, right? I don't know if somethings off or not in this school."

"Right." Taehyung stopped asking.

Jungkook closed his locker and walked away from the older to head over to his class.

"Jungkook wait!" Taehyung quickly tried to catch up. He swung his bag over his shoulder and ran over to Jungkook.

When the older finally caught up, Jungkook looked at him confused.
"Is there something wrong?"

"What?" Taehyung responded. "No, I just wanted to walk with you to class."

Jungkook didn't say anything and nodded his head as he continued to walk.

"Am I a burden Jungkook?"

"No, of course not."

As the two boys walked up the stairs and down the hallway without an exchange of words, they noticed the sudden silence.

The hallway seemed unusually silent.

Rather odd.

Eerie.

A cluster of students were hovered over something and Jungkook and Taehyung were curious at what they were looking at.

The two boys looked at each other and made their way over to the crowd. They pushed away the students only to see a sight that they had immediately regretted.

A bloody dead body.

Taehyung froze in his place, not being able to think or say what he had opened his eyes to.
A body lay in front of them, inside this school, in the middle of this hallway, right in front of their eyes.
Blood was pouring out of the chest like a fountain and formed a red pool around the body.

A bloody dead body.

No one screamed or cried or even reacted due to much shock. But when one of the school staff had finally arrived, they all suddenly started panicking and turned into a chaos in a matter of seconds.

"Everyone!! Please calm down and go to your classrooms now!!" The teachers yelled at them. But how can they possibly, calmly go back after seeing a dead, bloody body in their school? You're right. You can't.

However, Jungkook was the only person who crouched down to the body.

"Jungkook what are you doing?! Let's get out of here. I'm g-going to throw up." Taehyung covered his mouth and pulled the younger backward by his shoulder.

"Who is he?" The younger questioned.

"What? Let's go!"

"I said, who is he Taehyung?"

"Lee Taeyong. Now let's go before I pass out." Taehyung yanked him on the shoulder again.

But Jungkook didn't budge and took out his phone to take a picture of Taeyongs body and his wrist.

"Jungkook are you serious right now!?" Taehyung raised his voice and stared at him in shock. Everyone around them was running around in panic, pushing others and taking their phones out to take pictures. The teachers and the staffs forced the students inside the classrooms but everything was out of hand.

Jungkook searched for the body's pockets and took something that Taehyung wasn't exactly sure what it was but didn't care at the moment. He needed to get out.

"Tarot Cards."

Taehyung didn't know what Jungkook was talking about. But he knew that his insides were flipping and his morning toast was about to come out of his mouth.
"Fuck-"

"Hey, you two right there!! Head to your classrooms now!" A teacher yelled at them from the other end of the hall, making his way over to the boys.

"Shit, Jungkook come on!"

"I'm coming, you go ahead first."
The younger continued to rummage through different pockets from the body.

"You! Don't touch anything! Stay right there!" The teacher shouted, pointing his finger towards Jungkook.

"Goddamn it." Taehyung grabbed onto the others shirt and pulled him away with all his force. It made Jungkook stumble back, almost making him fall to the ground.

The two ran away and hid inside the nearest janitors room where Taehyung always went to whenever he had skipped classes.

"What the fuck were you thinking?" Taehyung immediately questioned after locking the door.

Jungkook ignored the question.

"Hey! Are you listening? What the hell were you thinking?" The older questioned again, out of breath from running.

"Nothing." The younger responded making his way to the door and unlocking it. He was about to leave when Taehyung grabbed on to his arm.

"Stop."

"Let me go."

"Why would you take pictures of a dead body? You know something about this don't you?" He questioned, suspicious of the youngers expressions.

There was a moment of pause until Jungkook removed the olders arm and responded,
"I don't know anything."

"Yes, you do."

Jungkook glared.
"I came to this school for a reason." He answered quietly before going out of the janitors closet, leaving Taehyung behind.

______________

"Students, please remain silent and listen to the following instructions I am going to give to you." The teacher announced to the whole class. The students quickly ended their conversations and waited for their teacher to continue.

Taehyung sat in his seat impatiently, looking over at Jungkook who was sitting two rows in front of him.

What does he want?

Two police officers were standing beside the teachers and many more were guarding the hallways. It's been two hours since the discovery and since then, all they did was sit in their seats horrified at what they have seen.

"As all of you may know by now, Lee Taeyong has been found dead this morning by one of our students. It is our Principles order that we send you back to your homes immediately as we let the police investigate. If anyone has any sort of information about Taeyong related to this case, please report to me first and then the police will interview you." The teacher explained.

A student raised their hand.

"Yes?"

"Is this a murder?"

The students broke into a murmur but the teacher quickly hushed them.

"We cannot respond to any questions about the whole situation yet, because investigations have just started. There are no certain facts about this case except that Taeyong is no longer with us. Though this is shocking and depressing to all of us, do not worry, because we are safe as long as we are in here and the police are present."

"If this is a murder, doesn't that also mean there's a murderer in our school? How are we safe if one of us is the murderer?" Another student spoke up. This led more students to ask questions and break into a loud crowd.

"Please remain silent until I finish explaining!! We have contacted your parents to pick you up so please stay in this classroom and do not use your phones!"

Taehyung shook his knees. While his classmates were out of their seats running around in panic and pointing fingers at each other saying 'who did it', Taehyung was more worried about what Jungkook had in mind.

He headed over to the youngers table to see what he was up to.

"Jungkook," Taehyung stopped next to his seat.
"If you're here to get revenge on whatever my father did to your company, I don't think-"

"That's not the reason." He replied in annoyance.

"Then what the fuck is the reason?"

"Taehyung, I suggest you leave this question alone because I know it's something you would not want to be a part of. It would harm your father and this academy." The younger looked at him with cold piercing eyes that Taehyung was suddenly scared of.

"As long as it doesn't harm me, I don't care. Now tell me why you came here." Taehyung leaned over his desk, ignoring the fact that Jungkook looked like he was going to kill someone.

"If you're so curious, meet me near the fountain after school."

"But we're being sent home."

"Then come back around 1 pm."
Said Jungkook with a sigh.
"I need to know what happened to Taeyong."

"What does Taeyong have anything to do with you?" The older questioned with suspicion.

"Are we going to meet up or what?" Jungkook ignored his question.

Taehyung stood up straight and responded,
"Fine, after school 1pm near the fountain."

______________

Meanwhile somewhere else inside the school.

"This is what I was scared of."

"This has nothing to do with us."

"Well what if it fucking did?! Do you think it's gonna be all over once we apologize?"

"We weren't the ones who killed him. How can the police put us in jail if we didn't kill him?"

"It's like we made him do it! You knew what it was doing to him! We crossed the line!"

"Listen Jaehyun we didn't kill him! And this obviously isn't suicide!"

"We didn't, but we can't let anyone know about what we did to him."

"I know we can't. And no one will know what happened unless we speak of it ever again."
