Choi Yeesul, Park Yuna, Lee Eun, Han Sunghoon, and Kwan Hyunwoo were the most popular students in Elysian High located in Seoul, South Korea.
Elysian High is known as one of the most prestigious schools in all of South Korea where only the best students can get in. The students were all very talented in various areas and these 5 were no exceptions.
Location: Yuna's House

Time: 7:35 PM
"Hey Yuna, where's the lip tint?" Yeesul asked as she was hurriedly doing her makeup
"Here" the host handed her the lip tint
"guys! how do you guys feel 10th grade ended" Eun asked as she was picking a dress for herself
"ecstatic, ugh finally I won't have to sit with Seolhee anymore" Yeesul replied with a sigh
"She sure is annoying" Eun chuckled
These three were all set for their year-end party which the school hosts every year.
Shimmering neon lights, students dancing, giggling, and chatting all the usual stuff
"Hey, guys, what took y'all so long?" Sunghoon asked the three ravens standing along with Hyunwoo
"be glad that at least we're here" Yeesul sassed
"Yeesul and gang, mind helping me out a bit?" Principal Ray said who was clearly struggling to put up the decorations
while everyone were looking at Principal Ray, Yeesul's eyes fell on a certain someone who makes her gag. Kim Seolhee. Yeesul nudged Yuna who averted her gaze from the white haired man to where Yeesul was pointing at.
"What is she doing here?!" Yuna asked with a gasp
"I don't know, but lets find out" Yeesul smirked
"Guys we're going" Hyunwoo called out
"Uh we'll be there in a bit" Yeesul replied. All of them knew what Yeesul and Yuna were going to do next. Y&Y(Yeesul and Yuna) have always been the biggest bullies in the school and Kim Seolhee happens to be their main target everytime. Although Sunghoon, Hyunwoo and Eun do not follow these practices, they aren't against it either so they just let them go. They've always turned a blind eye when Yeesul or Yuna do anything bad but they've always tried to tell them to stop bullying other kids. Not like Y&Y are going to listen anyway.
"They will learn their lesson soon enough" Eun sighed
Eun has always been the smarty pants in their friends group. Helping out her friends whenever possible. She's always been the 1st rank and no one till now has ever defeated her. Even though all 5 of them were academically very well she's always been on top.
Hyunwoo is a very quiet and shy guy. He often gives his peers the cold shoulder.He has a very smart and witty brain who can make a hard challenge easy. He tends to think out of the box and gets curious whenever something new or strange comes.
Sunghoon has always been a man of morals. He strictly abides the laws and does not attend any parties except the school ones like this. And he refuses to attend them until he becomes a major. He has always been against Yeesul and Yuna's behaviour. But after all they're still his friends.
Yuna apart from being a bully she has a really nice and kind heart. She is basically the therapist friend who comforts the ones in need. She may appear hard to others but from inside she's a total softie.
Yeesul is pretty much the average rich brat in every school. She can be pretty bossy at times but still a great friend. She's good at a variety of things so she can help you out with practically anything. And because of that people envy her for being rich and pretty.
Seolhee is a total nerd and has very low self esteem. She is the president of the book club which is filled with geeks like her. She was once very pretty and likeable but something happened in her life which made her this way. Although she's very smart but she still can't compete Eun's intelligence.
Y&Y paced towards Seolhee who was sitting on a sofa while reading greek mythology. Yeesul flicked her book which made it fall on Seolhee's face. Seolhee knew that it was Yeesul so she squinted her eyes and quietly looked up.
"Fancy seeing you here" Yuna smiled
"H-hi" Seolhee stuttered
"What are you doing here?" Yeesul went straight to the point
"U-um, I got an invitation" Seolhee held up her invitation card. The principal invited all the students of 10th grade. Yeesul was particularly in a bad mood today so she grabbed a glass of strawberry punch and threw it on Seolhee's pearl white dress. "I hate you" Seolhee ran away from the party crying her eyes out.
"She should've known what comes next" Yeesul smirked
"uh guys, we're playing some games wanna join?" Eun came and asked
"Oh sure!!" Yuna replied
"also where's Seolhee, she was just here some minutes ago" Eun wondered
"Ah she left I guess, doesn't matter anyway" Yeesul said and went with Eun.
2 hours later
The party ended and it was officially summer break from tomorrow. It was late night and not like the cab would be there this late.
"Guys, I bought my mum's car. I can drop you all home" Sunghoon said and they all agreed.
"Seolhee mysteriously left, that's very suspicious" Hyunwoo said
"Stop Hyun, this isn't your murder mystery novel or anything" Yuna said
"My suspicions are on you guys not her" Hyunwoo said
"What did we do?" Yeesul asked
"Its strange that she left immediately after talking to you guys" Hyunwoo said
"How many times have I told you guys to not do such stuff" Sunghoon said
"whatever old man" Yeesul said.
"guys there's a lot of traffic from this route" Eun said while checking Google Maps
"I know a short cut" Yuna said
"This route is very dark" Sunghoon asked
"chill, I've been here a lot of times" Yuna reassured
Sunghoon drove his car along the empty alleway. It was dead silent almost like a cemetery. No light was present except the car headlights. Sunghoon kept whining about how unclear the route is and in how big of danger they're in.
Soon they reached a bridge. "I've never seen it here" Eun said
"Neither did I" Yeesul replied
"This place looks like a horror movie" Sunghoon said
"Yeah and a girl in a white dress will ask us for a lift" Hyunwoo joked while Yuna choose to stay silent.
Sunghoon took a long breath and drove the car along the bridge. Soon they saw a girl in a white dress just as Hyunwoo predicted
"HYUN!" Everyone shouted together
"What? oh come on I was joking" Hyunwoo said
"G-guys there's something red on that girl's chest" Eun pointed out
"S-she has a knife in her hand" Hyunwoo said
"Hyunnn you said and it came true!!" Yeesul said with anger
"Stop being unreasonable Yee, its not his fault" Sunghoon said
"Let's not stop and drive fast Sunghoon" Yuna suggested
"No, I disagree to leave this girl alone on this empty bridge" Sunghoon protested
"Leave your morals behind for today she could be anyone" Eun said
"Guys, I think its Seolhee, and there's strawberry juice on her dress I'm sure its her" Yeesul said looking closely at the girl with glasses
"It could be a random girl who happens to have blood on her dress" Hyunwoo gasped
"Stop talking Hyun" Yuna silenced him
"I'll go with Yee to check it out you guys stay here" Yuna added
Both Yuna and Yeesul stepped out of the passenger seat and slowly paced towards the girl in the white dress. She seemed to be gazing at the stars. Her beautiful raven hairs flowing with the wind. Her eyes glistened looking so pure and innocent. At the same time she seemed done with everything. All the pain and sorrow showed on her face. She removed her spectacles to wipe off her tears. She gazed at her hands and averted her gaze when she was alerted that someone was coming.
"W-who is it?" she said too weak to fight back
"chillax its just us" Yeesul said which widened Seolhee's eyes
"what are you here for now huh?" Seolhee for once in her life fought back.
"Oh getting bold I see" Yuna grabbed her chin making her unable to move her mouth
"the way you just spoke to us, you will face the consequences" Yeesul said
"what? cat got your tongue?" Yuna taunted as she held Seolhee's jaw tighter but enough that it doesn't scar or hurt that much
at this point she was leaning in on the bar of the bridge which opened up to an empty road
"You-" Yeesul said as the railing broke and Seolhee fell
"Thank you" Seolhee whispered as her tears ran down her face the same moment we heard a loud thud
She fell onto the road. Thankfully no one was around that time. Yeesul and Yuna got on their knees crying while reflecting back at what they did. From the car Eun saw them crying and hurriedly got out of the car along with Hyunwoo and Sunghoon.
"What happened, and why is this railing broken?" Sunghoon asked
"We commited a sin" Yeesul said as she looked dead and pale
"What happened to Seolhee?" Hyunwoo asked
"she fell" was all Yuna could say at that time
"wait so you guys basically killed a young girl who practically had a great life ahead?!" Sunghoon raged with anger
"I am calling the police right now we're turning you both in" Sunghoon added
"Wait, they're our friends we cant do this to them" Eun said
"A crime is a crime Eun" Sunghoon said
"wait we're at the crime scene too and we did come from the same car and suspected the scene so we could be blamed for not stopping out friends and there is a higher chance of us getting arrested too" Hyunwoo stated
"You're right" Sunghoon whispered
"But I can't let this go" Sunghoon said
"We did what we did, calling the police will only do more damage than good" Yuna said
"and it was an accident" Yeesul whispered
"i have a plan, lets take her body and bury it deep in the forest" Eun said
The plan was set. Hyunwoo and Sunghoon carried Seolhee's lifeless soul to the car and they all advanced to the forest. The reached the forest and the plan was to bury her in the heart of the forest. Hyunwoo piggybacked Seolhee and they went to the forest.
"hey guys, there's a coffin here" Eun pointed out
"who'd put it there?" Hyunwoo got puzzled
"w-well how about you open it and see if its empty or not" Yeesul pushed Hyunwoo towards the coffin. Hyunwoo squinted his eyes ready to gag if a body comes out of the coffin. but to everyone's surprise there was nothing. the coffin was empty
It was as if the coffin was kept for Seolhee. Everyone thought that it sure was a little strange but decided to not think over it since they had a lot of stuff going on currently. Sunghoon picked Seolhee up ready to put her in the coffin when Yeesul stopped him.
"Wait, I'll put her" Yeesul said and picked Seolhee up and delicately placing her in the coffin.
She held the top of the coffin and started tearing up.
"Hey, lets close it up its getting dark around here" Eun said and everyone started tearing up. Sure Yeesul and Yuna were cruel but they did have a heart after all. Yeesul agreed and closed the coffin. She kept her hand on the coffin "I am sorry Seolhee" Yeesul said and let the others bid their goodbyes.
"I am sorry that I hurted you Seolhee" Yuna said
"I am sorry that you didn't live a happy life on this Earth and I wish nothing but the best to you" Sunghoon said
"You left this cruel world too early, may your soul rest in peace" Hyunwoo said
"I am sorry because I never stood up for you" Eun said
And so the night of 9th September 2019 was the worst possible night anyone had ever experienced and possibly the worst sin they've commited.
