"here, you might need this." donghyuck said as he gave me a pen and a small notepad. "how about me?" renjun questioned. donghyuck stared at him for awhile, "get yourself one." he stuck his tongue out.
"don't wander off too much okay?" mark told me as he patted my head. he then grabbed something from his pocket, it was a bracelet? "this is an alert bracelet. if you ever need help, just press the button and ours will vibrate, knowing that one of us is in danger or is in a troubled situation."
"you guys had these?" i mumbled, never really knew that they had such things. "of course– we always wear these during festivals or events, we don't want any of us in danger or anything." mark chuckled. "it resembles a wrist watch or a normal bracelet so no one will really notice that it's for something else." i nodded as i put the bracelet on.
"let's go," donghyuck said, "we wouldn't want to miss out on the good parts." he jumped.
"don't jump too much, you just ate." renjun told the boy.
"be careful okay?" jeno stated.
"yeah we will, don't worry." i said and pulled the other two with me. the three of us walked around together, not really wanting one of us to get lost or anything. "worst part during festivals or events like these– they last until 1AM. crazy right? but if you want to head back to the dorms already, you could but students rarely go back though." renjun informed me. "i advice not to go back too early because there aren't many students that will be in the dorms– you might get harmed."
"noted." i nodded. "stop chatting nonsense, look at these!" donghyuck interrupted, shoving two cute plushies in front of our face. "should i get one? or two?" donghyuck looked up, "or maybe three?"
"what is that even?" i furrowed my brows. "it's a plushie right?"
renjun shook his head, "that's not any plushie. i mean it is but here in our school they are called pringles."
"pringles?"
"yeah! aren't they adorable?" donghyuck grinned.
"why would they even call err name it after a snack?" i muttered. "because look! they are stored in a pringles like container, and they are like 3 inches tall. you will get three in one container! but you can get them separately as well. you can also customize your own." donghyuck blabbered, a smile on his face.
"don't mind donghyuck, pringles are his favorite. he likes collecting every single one." renjun whispered. donghyuck then shot renjun a glare, "shush, don't me. you collect moomin plushies as well."
"i haven't seen such side of donghyuck though, it's surprising." i stated. once donghyuck heard that, he stopped his actions. "uhh, pretend you didn't see me buy such thing." he said. i chuckled, "i think it's cute though."
he pressed his lips into a thin line, i saw the his cheeks turn pink a bit, "a-ah, i'm not cute. i'm manly." he grinned. "how about we try some rides!!" he then grabbed our wrists, dragging us off to somewhere.
"yah!! lee donghyuck! quit it with the running!" renjun scolded. donghyuck laughed, "you should get used to it renjun-ie."
"don't renjun-ie me, you were dragging a girl." renjun crossed his arms. donghyuck's mouth formed an o, "oh right.. i'm sorry, weijung." he bowed a bit, laughing cheekily. "are those rides even safe? just wanting to ask." i mumbled as we stood by the side of the ticket booth, looking up to the ferris wheel right in front of us.
"why wouldn't it be safe?" donghyuck questioned me as his gaze shifted from the ride onto me. i shrugged, "it's just, what if someone played with it? the
machine's just right there— someone can possibly tamper with it."
"you're right, but we can't sure that yet. we haven't had such incidents like that, i don't think killer would do such thing– it's too much!" renjun said. i scoffed, "renjun, we shouldn't underestimate killer's actions nor words. she kills people, she even decapitates them! we
don't know what's she's planning– she could even bomb the school if she wants to."
renjun clicked his tongue, "never mind, you have a point there."
donghyuck frowned, "but it's the ferris wheel! a huge spinning wheel!" he exclaimed, protesting that he really wants to ride. i sighed, "i don't know, hyuck... with killerkiller around and voodoo shit has been happening, i can't say that anything is safe for any of us."
as i kept on arguing about the safety situation with donghyuck, renjun stopped us as he raised his phone right in front of our face.
ding!
"this is shocking. i thought it's little stupid game is over." renjun facepalmed.

"another riddle?" donghyuck gritted his teeth as he crossed his arms. "what a loser, how could this person give us another riddle!"
i sighed and cracked my knuckles, "i knew it, i had a feeling the riddles will come back."
renjun stared at his phone, "the others should have received it right?" then looked at us. i shrugged, "probably."
suddenly, donghyuck nudged me, "have you seen the note yet?"
i shook my head, "is it that important anyways?"
donghyuck nodded, "it seemed to be."
i sighed, "fine." reaching in my pocket for the crumpled note. i unfolded it and slowly read the writings on it.
"what...? a clue?"
