Yeonjun and Beomgyu were left behind at school since Yeonjun had to accompany Beomgyu for his detention.
That left Taehyun alone with Hueningkai and Soobin in the car, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Way too uncomfortable.
"Are you ok?" Soobin asked Taehyun.
No. Absolutely not.
"Yeah," Taehyun smiled.
Taehyun was seated in the back seat, Hueningkai was seated in the passenger seat, while Soobin was seated in the driver's seat.
Taehyun watched as Hueningkai played Among Us on his phone, and he was the impostor.
He was pretty good.
He got away with every kill, and no one suspected him even once.
"Taehyun, notice that black car behind us?" Soobin muttered, looking at the rear-view mirror.
Taehyun looked behind and sure enough, there was a black car behind them.
"Yeah, why?"
"...it's been following us since we left the school," Soobin frowned.
All of a sudden, Soobin turned right in an intersection instead of going left, which was their usual route going home.
"W-where are we going?" Hueningkai asked in confusion.
"Is it still following us?" Soobin asked, and Taehyun nodded.
Soobin took a turn left, then right, another right, then left. The black car was still following them.
"Hold up-" Taehyun muttered in realization.
"...what do we do now?" Hueningkai asked, sounding scared.
"We go around in circles until we lose them, I guess." Soobin sighed nervously.
Soobin's phone rang, and he asked Hueningkai to answer it for him and put it on speaker.
"Soobin?" Yeonjun asked.
"Hmm? I'm driving right now-"
"Yeah I know- wait- you're still not home? It's been almost an hour-"
"We just took a quick detour, I'll tell you why later- why did you call?"
"Beomgyu escaped during detention and I dunno where the fuck he is." Yeonjun said, and Soobin could feel the frustration in his voice from his phone.
"I'll call him," Taehyun offered.
"Ok, try calling him and tell him to bring his ass back here," Yeonjun sighed.
"Love you," Soobin smiled.
"Love you too, Soob." Yeonjun answered, then ended the call.
Taehyun was about to take out his phone when he heard Soobin curse loudly.
"What's wrong?" Hueningkai frowned
"Dead end." Soobin panicked, and Taehyun looked out the window to find themselves facing a dead end, with no route of escape except backwards, where the black car was.
"Tighten your seatbelts." Soobin smirked.
"Uh Soobin..? What do you mean....?" Hueningkai asked nervously in a small voice.
Taehyun immediately tightened his seatbelt and hung on for dear life as Soobin immediately reversed the car and drove towards the black car.
"Soobin??" Hueningkai muttered nervously.
"SOOBIN, WE'RE GONNA HIT THE CAR!" Hueningkai yelled loudly.
"Exactly my point," Soobin replied calmly, driving towards the black car at full speed.
Taehyun braced himself and closed his eyes shut, waiting for collision.
But it never came. Just as they were about to hit the black car, it immediately reversed and drove away.
"Cowards," Soobin scoffed.

Yeonjun wandered all around the school, looking for Beomgyu but after an hour he still couldn't find him.
He's tried calling his phone several times already, but he wouldn't answer.
What if something happened to him? What if he's not even in the school anymore?
Yeonjun shook these thoughts away. Sure, Beomgyu was annoying but he still considered him as his own brother.
"Mr. Choi? You're still here?" Yeonjun turned around and found his co-teacher, Mr. Kim.
"Y-yeah...By any chance, have you seen Choi Beomgyu?" Yeonjun asked worriedly.
"No, I haven't. Why, did he escape from detention again?"
"Again? Wait wha-"
"He loves escaping detention, but we usually find him in the canteen eating snacks." Mr. Kim chuckled.
"B-but he isn't the canteen, I've looked everywhere!" Yeonjun quaked.
"I'm sorry Mr. Choi, but I'm afraid I can't be of any more help," Mr. Kim shook his head sadly, patting Yeonjun's shoulders as he left.
Yeonjun tried to stay calm, and decided to look around the school once again.
And then he remembered the school garden.
The school garden was abandoned, no one went to that place anymore. It was in a secluded area of the campus, and you wouldn't even notice it since it was covered in so much plants it was almost invisible at this point.
He ran inside the garden, getting entangled in vines and almost tripping on branches.
"Beomgyu! Beomgyu!" He yelled, hoping for a response.
Finally, he found Beomgyu standing beside the fountain, his head hung low.
"Beomgyu? Oh thank goodness-" Yeonjun sighed in relief until he noticed the large amount of blood on his clothes and body.
There was a vacant look on Beomgyu's face, and his hands were trembling violently.
"...Beomgyu?" Yeonjun mumbled, approaching him very slowly.
"He made me do it." Beomgyu whispered.
"Who?"
"He made me do it." Beomgyu repeated.
Yeonjun immediately grabbed Beomgyu's shoulders and shook him aggressively.
"Wake up, Beomgyu! You're scaring me! Snap out of it!" Yeonjun yelled, his heart pounding in his chest.
Yeonjun staggered backwards in shock as he noticed the dead body behind Beomgyu.
"He made me do it."
Yeonjun recognized the dead body as one of the students in one of his classes, Seungjin.
Seungjin was the top student in his class, and he didn't know how Beomgyu knew this boy since they weren't even in the same class and he wasn't the type of person who would become Beomgyu's friend.
"Who made you do it?" Yeonjun asked, trying to keep his voice from shaking.
"He did."
"Who?!" Yeonjun insisted.
Yeonjun knew how dangerous Beomgyu's ability was- he was absolutely vulnerable to spirits that wanted to possess him, and most of the time they were evil.

"As much as I hate to say it, you have to clean this entire room by yourself. Make sure there aren't any paper balls left when I get back, ok?" Yeonjun sighed, and Beomgyu nodded his head like the good student he is.
Once he was sure Yeonjun was gone, he immediately dashed outside the classroom and headed to the canteen excitedly to buy snacks.
After eating, he headed straight to the restrooms because he felt like he needed to pee until he heard someone crying inside a cubicle.
"Hueningkai?" Beomgyu asked.
The last time he was in the restroom, something happened so maybe it was safe to assume that it was Hueningkai again somehow.
Maybe it isn't Kai this time, Beomgyu thought.
The crying continued, and it got louder and louder. Beomgyu sighed in frustration- when will he be ever able to shit in peace?!
"Shut up!" Beomgyu yelled.
It still didn't stop.
Grumbling, Beomgyu unlocked his cubicle door and found the boy sitting on the floor, still crying.
"Dude. Stop." Beomgyu sighed.
The boy looked up at him, and Beomgyu felt his breathing hitch.
His eyes were completely black- he was a ghost.
"Oh, damn it- not again!" Beomgyu whined, running towards the door- he discovered it was locked.
Beomgyu was busy trying to desperately unlock the door when he felt the boy's cold hands around him.
"Let me go." Beomgyu angrily said. He was used to dealing with ghosts like these all his life, but this one particular boy seemed naughty.
"Do something for me first," he whispered.
"No."
"You haven't even heard it yet..." the boy smirked.
"Fine. What is it? If I do it you'll let me go?" Beomgyu asked, still trying to open the door.
The boy laughed.
"Of course."
"Then what is it?"
"There's a boy named Seungjin in another class, he's your age. He's having an after school meeting with the student council right now."
"Who..?" Beomgyu frowned.
"Seungjin. He made my life a living hell, and I want to take revenge on him. He was always on the top, and my parents constantly compared me to him. But sadly, I can't take revenge because my stupid ass decided to kill myself.
Now- it seems like you're the only one who can see me, so now I'm asking you to kill him."
Beomgyu froze. Killing Seokjoong and Jiseok were a piece of cake for him since he himself were tortured by them- but killing someone he barely even knew?
"N-no. I- I can't." Beomgyu stuttered.
"Then of course I'm not letting you go!" the boy laughed.
"Fine. I don't care if I'm trapped in here, I'm still not killing Seungjin or whoever the fuck he is." Beomgyu replied calmly.
"No? Then I'll make you kill him instead." the boy smirked, and Beomgyu screamed in pain as he felt a very painful headache.
Beomgyu clutched his head and closed his eyes shut, waiting for the pain to stop but it didn't. He screamed and screamed in hopes of someone hearing him, but no one did.
The last thing Beomgyu knew was passing out on the floor and the boy looking down on him, smiling creepily.
Beomgyu woke up and found himself standing outside the restroom, the boy nowhere to be found.
He saw a tall boy walking his way, and all of a sudden, Beomgyu whacked his head against the wall, causing him to become unconscious.
Beomgyu panicked.
It felt like his body was on auto-pilot: it was doing things he didn't even tell them to do.
He didn't want to whack Seungjin's head on the wall at all, his body just...did it.
He dragged Seungjin's body to the garden, and retrieved a small knife from under one of the bushes.
Then he started stabbing him.
Beomgyu heard himself laughing, but on the inside he was begging himself to stop.
Then he thought- maybe this isn't so bad.
Stabbing did feel nice. Beomgyu felt like he was taking all his anger out on this innocent person, but honestly who cares?
