"Yeah.."

"Why didn't you walk home? Or join your friends?"

"My parents told me my driver's going to pick me up after school so i let my friends go home first. I wasn't allowed to leave the school area alone because of the recent news... you know."

"The murder news that has been going out?" She sighed, Jisoo nodded. "Well, why don't i take you home instead?"

"Hmm... Thanks for offering, ssaem but i'm afraid my driver would arrive at any moment and he'll be confused when he couldn't find me."

"We can call your parents and tell them that you'll be coming home with me, how about that?"

"I don't think that's necessary..." She rubbed her nape. Her teacher has been very kind to her all these years and she wouldn't want to burden her any more.

"Alright, then how about this, i'll wait for you until your driver arrives?" She smiled sweetly.

"But-"

"I insist. Come on." Ms. Hwang brought her back to sit on the bench as they talked unnecessary things. Ms. Hwang is one of the kindest teacher in school, who happens to be Jisoo's homeroom teacher at that time.

"Oh my gosh!" Ms. Hwang suddenly exclaimed around ten minutes later. "I totally forgot! The principal asked me to take one table from the empty classroom upstairs."

"The classroom no one uses anymore?" Jisoo tilted her head.

"Yes!"

"Let me help you then." She smiled as she got up to her feet.

"That's really no need–"

"It's the least i could do, ssaem." She insisted. Ms. Hwang shrugged and they went up the stairs and down the hallway to the classroom.

Flashback off~

"Then what happened?" Taehyung asked curiously.

"So that night, the lights were starting to go off. The only source of light is the teacher's room and the moon." She continued. "As we reached the room, Hwang ssaem asked me to help turn on the lights since the switch was behind the lockers right outside the classroom and her hand won't fit inside. So with no second thoughts, i flicked it on. And that's when Hwang ssaem screamed on the top of her lungs."

"Why?" Taehyung bit his nails. He had never heard this story before. And he's sure no one else has either since the school did the best they can to keep this hidden.

"I came in after her and saw blood all over the place and a suicidal rope hanging on the ceiling right in the middle of the class."

"What the f*ck.."

"I know right?!"

"And you saw Seung Min's body hanging on the rope?"

"That's just it! We saw no one! All we saw was his sweater on the corner of the room."

"Wow." He shook his head.

"But that's just it, Kim."

"What?"

"Ever since that day, no one has ever gone into that class and no one was supposed to know what really happened except the teachers and police. I'm just telling you this because i know this isn't gonna be the topic you'll be talking about with your gang."

"Absolutely not."

She nodded. "Everything went fine for the next few days. Until one day, my mom told me that Irene eonnie forgot to bring her lunch so she asked me to share mine with her. I gladly obeyed and went to her class. Coincidentally, we met right in front of the class we're talking about right now."

"And then?"

"I don't know if you noticed, but i'm not a coward. So i asked Irene whether we should just eat on the bench in front of that class but she hardly objected. When i asked why, she just told me that she has a feeling that we shouldn't go anywhere near that class."

"Why?"

"Right, this is the main topic i was actually going to tell you previously."

"Okay..?"

"Eonnie said she saw a shadow of a boy standing in that room, just staring outside mysteriously. But she doesn't know who it is."

"But the class is locked isn't it?"

"It is! That's the point!"

"So.. are you saying that the shadow may be Heung Min or something like that?"

"I'm not saying that.. i'm saying that that class is basically haunted based on Irene eonnie."

"I'm getting goosebumps."

"You're getting goosebumps?! I was f*cking there, man!" Jisoo shivered. "Anyway, there's one more thing."

"What?"

"After school, Irene eonnie, Jin oppa, and i were walking home. It was around half past five because we had to wait for oppa to finish his extra classes. On our way home, we went passed the class and got goosebumps as Irene eonnie told us the guy was still watching."

"F*ck."

"As we reached the front gates, i saw a silhouette of a boy around our age—like 15 at that time—standing under a lightpole. Since the light was quite dim, i couldn't see the face of the guy but it was clearly someone i know. You won't believe who it was!"

"Uhh.. B-bobby hyung?" He hesitantly answered.

"What the heck?! No! He has nothing to do with this, Kim." She rolled her eyes, "you can't put two and two together?!"

"Get to the point."

"Alright. The guy was wearing the exact same hoodie Son Heung Min used to wear. And his figure is the same fits Heung Min perfectly. I should know. Among everyone in school, i'm the one who spend the most time with him even if it's barely for 15 minutes a day."

"Oh my God.." He ran his hands through his hair. "Did Jin and Irene saw that too?"

"Well i stopped on my tracks the moment i saw him and i was totally creeped out so they automatically stopped too and looked to where i was looking and also froze but they probably didn't know who it was because i don't even know if they've ever seen Heung Min or in fact acknowledge him all this time."

"I get it."

"Yeah. But after i blinked, he was gone and none of us saw where he went. So we just ran home immediately."
