,,you walked back to class.

you were coming back from the restroom. it was still pretty early in the day. you looked into the other classrooms as you walked by.

today seemed like it would be a pretty boring day...then you bumped into someone, you snapped out of your trance.

"ah! se eun...sorry for bumping into you, i was spacing out."you apologized to the girl.

she had just walked out the door of the class, in a bit of a hurry at that. the girl didn't say a word and walked past you.

that was odd...as she kept walking she ran into yoon seo.

"where are you going?"yoon seo tugged on se euns arm.

you said her name but se eun kept walking. you walked closer to her and jun hee.

"what's up with her?"yoon seo asked.

"I don't know."jun hee responded first.

she turned to look at you.

"not a clue..."you shrugged your shoulders.

dismissing the matter the three of you walked into class. you saw most of them were on there phones.

you shrugged it off and went to sit at your desk.

,,se eun was dead.

you couldn't believe it when you heard the news. no, you didn't want to believe it.

one of your friends was dead, gone. forever. how had you been so blind to your precious friends suffering...

you were terrible, a terrible friend, a terrible human. you had completely dismissed the girls odd behavior and only focused on yourself.

you were angry, at yourself, your classmates, nearly everyone. you couldn't even bring yourself to shed tears anymore...

you had only figured out why she did it after her death.

the cause? a stupid video, that wasn't even real. you scoffed at the thought. your classmates decided to bully her because of some edited video?

seriously how could they go so low? you had even confronted another friend about it, which turned into a major failure.

your mind went straight into recalling the argument.

,,your arms were crossed.

you looked straight at your friend, the one who's been by your side the longest. you could feel your stomach already sinking. you almost didn't want to believe what you had been told.

"kyung jun, you really weren't apart of it right...?"you whispered.

"apart of what?"the boy asked.

"you know what. don't play dumb."your voice came out harsher this time.

"well I knew it was going around."kyung jun shrugged.

"and you di—"you started to talk.

"what did you want me to do?"he cut you off ,scoffing.

"you could've at least told me."you said.

"well you know now, don't you?"kyung jun stated.

"know now? what good does knowing now do, se eun's already gone!"you raised your voice.

"...alright let's just go home—"the boy sighed.

"so it's true then...you really did spread it..."you muttered the words in disgust.

"I didn't even say anything, you're jumping to conclusions."kyung jun grumbled.

"no I'm not, someone already told me what you did. seriously, how could you do something like that?"you were in disbelief.

maybe it was something you should've expected, you'd tolerated his behavior ever since you were young.

you'd look past the fact he bullied people, but you could look past the fact that one of your friends had died because of it.

"okay that enough, we can talk about this later."he huffed.

"there's nothing more to talk about. don't talk to me anymore, I'm done putting up with you. maybe I should've expected this, but I'm just so...disappointed in you."you expressed how you felt.

"what the hell are you saying?"kyung jun snapped.

"I'm saying I want nothing to do with you!"you grabbed your backpack and started to walk away.

you felt a hand grab your arm and turn you around. you faced the boy unwillingly as he held you in place to look at him.

"look, I didn't—"he started to make an excuse.

you struggled to free your hand from his grasp for a few seconds. eventually he loosened his grip and you raised your hand.

you brought it down, slapping him.

"I can't believe I ever liked you..."you whispered.

the boy kept his head to the side, only snapping his his towards you after you spoke those words. before he tried to talk or grab you, you walked out of the classroom leaving him alone.

you felt some tears pooling in your eyes, you tried to blink them away. you wouldn't bother to shed tears on a guy like that.

,,you rested your head in your arms.

your raised your head as your phone buzzed. no not just yours, coincidentally all of your classmates phones had buzzed at the same time.

you turned it on and saw something flash on your screen. a notification you definitely didn't recognize.

a new game will begin.

what the...? you glanced around the room, eyes bouncing from student to student. they landed on an ex-friend for a split second.

his eyes locked with yours, you turned your head away as fast as you could instead focusing on everyone except him.

some people talked amongst themselves while other dismissed the thing.

well you weren't sure what it was for...you placed your phone back and continued to rest your head waiting for the teacher.

,,the bus ride was peaceful.

nearly everyone was asleep and no one made noise. it was quiet as you all were on the road for a class trip.

your eyes were entranced by the windmills you all passed. you flinched a bit when you heard a shout from the back.

"darn it! I lost again!"someone shouted frustrated.

"you startled me."

"shut up!"

"I'm tired..."

we're some of your classmates remarks at the outburst. now your bus ride wasn't so peaceful...

you saw yoon seo get up from her seat. her chest rose and fell as she breathed heavily. yoon seo snapped her head towards the back and glanced at everyone.

her expression showed a mix of sadness and confusion.

"no."you heard the girl mutter.

yoon seo continued to breathe rather hard as she stared at one of your classmates, oh jung won.

"hey yoon seo...is everything alright?"you placed a hand on her arm.

she glanced at you terrified, you tilted your head in confusion.

what was she so afraid of...?

WORD COUNT : 1075

honestly I'm not that happy with it but let me kinda explain. so actually before the whole mafia game reader and kyung jun were on bad terms. but obviously everyone forgot about se eun and since your argument had been about her it also got erased! ahhahaha you confessed but at what cost?
