_ Oh my, what I have to do now? Hello, Haechan, Lee Donghyuck, can you come to school with me? Just a little.

        _ Are you crazy, it's half past ten, what are you doing there? School is not open. And what happened to you today, calling me both my first and last name? - Haechan's voice drawled sleepily because he received Renjun's phone at 10:30 pm. What's wrong with this guy Renjun, even rushed to school at night, harming Haechan who was dozing off to sleep when he woke up startled.

       Renjun's voice on the other end of the line was pleading, urgent, like he was about to cry:

        _ But I have something to get right away, the school will open tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock, not in time, I'm going to go to school now. I really want to get it tomorrow, but between taking a risk and being kicked out, I'd rather be out of the house for one night. I'm afraid, you live in the dormitory near the school, come with me. I climbed in by the back door, I'm already in the second floor hallway.

        _ You're crazy, it's okay to get it a little late tomorrow, I can't help you with anything, but it's still a long time before I... - Haechan snapped, suddenly realizing something, he quickly got up and grabbed the clothes which threw on the desk and rushed out, his hair still dazzled in front of his face. - ... wait a minute Huang Renjun, why are you so reckless, I'm coming right now, hurry up and run out of the school.

        _ Hello, Jeno, come to school with me, hurry, immediately!!! - Haechan hung up the call with Renjun, quickly dialed Jeno, he was in the dormitory, so he was only a short distance from the school, despite the shouting of his roommates because of the loud noise, he still ran into the murky night covering campus at this time.

_________________

       Renjun heard the phone call and Haechan's scream, immediately the hairs on his body stood up, he shivered as to whether the wind was whizzing through the empty corridor or was it because of something present that he can not see. The panic just now increased rapidly, the rumor about Semin's ghost even though Renjun tried to forget it still appeared in his mind, although it was not yet 12 at night, the night scene at school also made him panic, frantically running upside down. In his head now imagining all the scenes that went nowhere, Renjun was so scared that his legs trembled, he staggered unsteadily, fell, then stood up again semi-live and semi-dead ran as close as possible outside the gate. He was leaning on his pillow, panting heavily because he was too tired to continue, while breathing, he kept turning his head back and forth, looking back and forth, the light from the flashlight now makes Renjun shiver even more, it's too dark around, now if you move anything, you'll die standing here.

        _ Didn't anyone tell you that you can't look back at night?

       Renjun was startled by the whispering voice coming from his ear, he panicked and sat on the ground, holding his head with his hands, his whole body was trembling, tears started to flow, he just cried and just shouted out loud.

        _ Please.. please... forgive me... don't kill me... hmm...

        _ This...

        _ No... I didn't do anything to you... don't kill me...

        _ Who killed you? It's me, Haechan here. Lee Haechan, i'm Haechan!

       Renjun slowly opened his eyes and looked up, trying to regain his composure after the familiar voice in front of him. He used his hand to wipe away the thick layer of tears that covered his eyelids, that face, that brown hair, that's right, it's Haechan, next to him was Jeno, two friends with messy clothes, messy hair, obviously rush to come.

        _ Hae... Haechan? Jeno?

        _ You're so..., you're still hanging around at school right now, it's dangerous you know. The devil doesn't say, people like you I can carry with half my strength, what if someone kidnaps you, it's dark, you may fall and being hit too. It's really tolerable!

        _ You're nagging too much Haechan, it's good to find Renjun, let's go, Renjun, don't tell me that bunch of people the other day threatened you to make you come here so late to get something, okay? Tells me, I give them porridge. Go home now, come and get something later, okay?

       Jeno sighed, looking at the dark night at school also automatically shivered, Renjun didn't get the courage to come here.

        _ Well, it's coming anyway, or... or can you come with me to class to get it? It is an important thing for my aunt, she lent it to me but forgot it, tomorrow morning she will ask if she won't twist my neck. You know how hard she is.

       Renjun is currently living with his step-aunt and biological father, his mother died two years ago. At first, his step-mother came to live with the father and son, which was very harmonious, also very gentle, but the longer she stayed, the more she showed her nature: difficult, violent, and monstrous, especially with her job which curse husband and children for joy and reason of life; Renjun's father married her because of her good background, carrying a large part of the family's economy now, so his father always told him to keep silent, otherwise, the two of them could only live on the street.

       In the afternoon, because he did not have a pen, and could not borrow it from anyone, Renjun had to temporarily borrow a pen "inlaid with diamonds, engraved with her name and delicate patterns, as sharp as her beauty" from her. However, for some reason, the exemplary vice-president Renjun could leave it in the drawer, so now he has to go get it right away, before going to school tomorrow morning, if she doesn't have it, it will be purple pale hands and feet, even being kicked out with empty hands and curses.

        _ Okay, hurry up, I'll run up and back, anyway, we're three tall, muscular boys, what are you afraid of?

       Haechan calmed down, pulled Renjun's hand to lead him up the stairs, who suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Haechan turned slightly back, before his eyes was still a dark color and the shadows of large trees leaning on the schoolyard.

        _ Hey, didn't you tell me not to look back after a night walk? Why are you like that?

        _ Crazy, who told you that thing, I never said that.

        _ Aren't you? Oh you say it, Jeno? S-Someone whispered in my ear and said so.

       Jeno shook his head slightly, goosebumps also involuntarily shivered, the bones of his neck stiffened.

        _ No, I came to you after Haechan. Are you kidding, who told you that?

       Renjun felt his head throb, and at that moment they saw a black shadow lurking on the stone bench under the oldest tree in the school, the tree in the corner of the yard where Jisung had fallen on the last rainy day. Haechan thought he was dizzy, immediately rubbed his eyes with his hand, he pulled Renjun and Jeno together, asked in a low voice, no matter what the answer, Haechan felt Renjun was scared to death whole body, and Jeno stood staring at it like a statue.

        _ Hey, is it that I am a broken spirit, ... or is it true that there is that person under the tree?

       Haechan was expecting someone to laugh at him and say you're crazy, who cares, but with Renjun's clenched fists that could bleed Renjun's blood and Jeno's slight nod, Haechan immediately saw it. His legs lost strength, he couldn't even pull them to run away.

        _ A day of heavy rain ~ thunder and storm broke out ~

            Our words ~ hurt and broken ~

            I wait for you~ until I blend into the dust~

            There's only one black color in front of me~

            Flashing lights ~ silent lamb ~

            Want to turn around ~ Can't see the shore ~

            Scarlet red ~ Drop by drop ~

            Five is also one ~ who am I in the end?

       The deep voice sounded from the mysterious black shadow, the melody and lyrics were really hard to understand, repeating over and over. The three of them listened to the singing voice evenly, not understanding what kind of magical power was causing them to slowly fall asleep. Haechan flopped on the cold marble floor, next to Renjun was also unconscious, Jeno tried to fight the sleep but powerless, he fell, his heavy eyelids closed, the tall thin shadow approached then fade into Jeno's eyes.

        _ Jisung, do you like taking pictures?

       Chenle enjoyed looking at the high-end digital cameras in Jisung's room and the romantic sunset photos he took every time he stayed after school. Jisung has always had such a habit, which is to go to school after school and take pictures of the surrounding scenery, especially the sunset with its romantic pink and blue colors and what he is looking forward to seeing - a full sunset with dark clouds and lightning slashed across the sky, brightening the classroom windows on the fifth floor of the school.

       Chenle was a friend of Jisung's when he was wearing a superhero mask and drew peaches with his butt in ink like in the movies, so about Jisung 's hobby, Chenle was firmly grasped in the palm of his hand. In the past, he used to wait for Jisung to take pictures at school and go home, but then because of an unresolved matter, Chenle's family returned to China for a while, but the two always talked.

        _ Yes, you know it and still ask? Go to sleep now.

        _ Ok Ok, it's not the first time you and I were in the same room and we were grumpy, you weren't like that before, but only two years ago, you were taciturn.

       Chenle today because his parents are away, so he was sent to spend the night at Jisung's house. He changed into pajamas, sat on the bed and stretched, yawned, looked at his best friend who was lying on the bed next to him reading a book, Chenle was slightly stunned, then lay down, wrapped the blanket around himself. moved closer to Jisung.

        _ Jisung, even though we're a year apart, we always consider each other good friends, right? - Chenle suddenly asked.

        _ Then? – Jisung rolled his eyes slightly, said faintly, there was a feeling of tightness in the chest of the 15-year-old boy.

        _ I just wanted to say... If something happened to make you sad, you can totally let me know. You said you always trusted me, didn't you?

       "I've always believed in you, Chenle."; "So there's nothing sad to tell me."; "Okay, I promise, I'll definitely tell Chenle first."; "It's a promise, hook it up!"; "Zag hook!" The image of two round children holding hands with their innocent smile that day flashed in Jisung's mind, he was silent for a moment, then seemed to be about to say something, but then stopped, swallowing all the words to say in the stomach. He adjusted his posture, brought the book to cover most of his face, his breathing was a little unstable.

        _ It's okay, I'm fine. Sleep now, Chenle!

        _ I'm not sleepy yet. Well, I suddenly remembered this, what about the photo of lightning that slashed across the sky at sunset at school that you always wanted to capture? Did you take the picture yet?

       Jisung suddenly stiffened, feeling the back of his neck cold and uncomfortable, he shivered slightly, shaking his head, his voice slightly lost.

        _ No, I haven't taken it yet... I don't like it anymore...

        _ What's wrong? You liked it so much in the past, you always told me that you had to take it, before my family moved out you still want it, why..., what happened Park Jisung?

        _ Don't ask again, SILENCE AND SLEEP, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning.

       This was the first time in all these years that Jisung raised his voice at Chenle, and also with an extremely annoyed attitude that made Chenle freeze for a moment. He was bewildered at the coldness of his best friend, a painful sulky anger welled up in his heart, Chenle wrapped the blanket tightly around him, raised his hand to turn off the night light beside his bed, leaving only a small light emanated from the flickering lamp on the opposite side. He turned his back to Jisung, ignoring the sad and tired look in Jisung's direction and his soft sigh. Jisung looked at Chenle for a long time, suddenly raised his hand to wipe his face, he discovered that his eyes were already wet. Jisung decisively closed the book, pulled the blanket over his head, lay down, took a deep breath and tried to put himself to sleep.

       "Silly Jisung, you are okay? Lying is as bad as ever."

Chenle:

Mark hyung, are you asleep?

Mark:

I haven't, I'm doing Miss Harin's group homework, it's late now, why haven't you gone to bed yet? Go to sleep quickly, otherwise you can't grow up.

Chenle:

Even you advised me to sleep, I'm an adult, I will decide everything I do. I am growing very well.

Mark:

Yes, yes, Chenle has grown up. You texted me so late, what's up?

Chenle:

Yeah... The thing we told you the other day, I think, no, I'm sure, Jisung from Sport class who discovered Semin's dead body... is exactly Park Jisung from Dream class now.

Mark:

We were also skeptical. Did he talk to you?

Chenle:

He didn't say it, but I feel it, moreover... if I'm not mistaken... his involvement in the case is not trivial.
