Dahyun pov

*BANG*

The door was forced open, catching us off guard. With the exit blocked, escape was impossible.

"Come out Son Chaeyoung, stop making a trouble."said the officer.

"And you, what are you doing inside with her?" they asked me.

I glanced at Chaeyoung, who looked scared and panicked. She even't realized she had bitten her lip until it bled.

I couldn't rely on her to make excuse nor could I betray her.

Think, Kim Dahyun!

Use your brain to get out of this situation.

Suddenly, Chaeyoung grabbed my neck from behind.

"What are you doing!?" I asked, in disbelief.

"I'm sorry... I have to get out of here."she said pointing a sharp pen at my neck.

"Son Chaeyoung-ssi, what are you doing!?" one of the officers exclaimed.

"DON'T COME CLOSE!!!" she shouted, pressing the pen against my neck.

"Put that thing down, we can talk about this carefully." the officer said, trying to negotiate.

"No! I won't be fooled by your sweet advances again." Chaeyoung retorted.

"You never listened to me! No matter how many times I refuse and tell you to stop, you keep doing it and drive me crazy!" I winced as Chaeyoung pressed her pen deeper.

"Calm yourself, Chaeyoung-ssi, tell us what you want. We will listen now," the officer said, trying to calm her unstable emotions.

"Let me out of this place!" Chaeyoung exclaimed, pointing her pen at them.

"Sorry, but we can't do that without permission," the officer responded.

"Then don't blame me if I hurt her!" Hearing the threat, the officers immediately moved back from Chaeyoung.

"Okay, we won't arrest you."

Chaeyoung took me out from then bathroom as a hostage.

"Chaeyoung-ssi, please let me go!" I pleaded as we exited the school building.

"I'll release you after we pass the gate," Chaeyoung dragging me forcefully.

"Despite my intentions to help, why are you treating me like this?" I questioned.

"I have no choice. If they catch me again, it's over." Chaeyoung explained.

"What will they do to you?"

"They will make me like the others." She replied.

"Who do you mean?"

"All students in this school." her answer was tense.

I still don't understand the situation at this school, she didn't explain it in detail.

What are they doing to the students here?

Does it have something to do with their strange attitudes and behavior?

I thought all this time it was just my feelings that the students were acting strange. But this yeoja also realized it.

"Stop. You are not allowed to go out!" the gate guard firmly said.

"Didn't you see what I did? Want to see me hurting her, huh? Quickly open the gate!" Chaeyoung threatened, holding me at gunpoint again.

"You will be in big trouble if you dare hurt another student, Chaeyoung-ssi." he warned.

"What's the difference between you guys? You think you're the only one who can do it? Don't be kidding!"

"We have the authority to discipline students who make trouble."

"I won't make a fuss if you just let me out of this hell!"

"In accordance with applicable regulations, all students are not allowed to leave without obtaining permission from their families."

"Then let me talk to my family!"

"It's a shame we can't contact them at this time." the officer explained.

"Hahah... You all are really testing my patience..."

"Chaeyoung-ssi, you hurting me." I said in pain.

"What can I do, if I'm not allowed to go out..."

I glanced at the girl out of the corner of my eye, the expression of despair she showed seemed to speak to me.

'If I end up here, you will end up with me.'

"Chaeyoung-ssi, what are you doing?" I asked.

"Don't hate me, just blame those who made me like this," Chaeyoung raised her pen high with trembling hands.

She's going to stab me? Is she out of her mind?

Andwae, if she hurts me, she had face to a real nightmare.

"Open the gate."

We both turned around as soon as the gate opened.

From behind the sturdy iron, the figure of a demonic woman who had just arrived from another world appeared.

How this is possible? Didn't she said she wouldn't visit me often??

With a calm expression, she started walking towards us.

"Get your dirty hands off her." the woman said to Chaeyoung.

"Do you intend to stop me too?" Chaeyoung asked.

"I don't care what you do, but when it comes to that girl, I won't just keep quiet."

"Who are you, who dares to order me!"

"I am sister of the girl you are holding as hostage. If you hurt her, I will make sure you wish you had never been born into this world." she said, accompanied by a smile that was both charming and deadly.

"You think I'm scared!? I'll let her go if they let me out of here!"

No, Chaeyoung-ssi, please don't fight her. You don't know who you're dealing with.

"Are you blind? The gate has been opened. You can leave now," said the woman.

"It's definitely a trap. The guards will definitely arrest me if I'm careless."

"Okay, if that's what you want. You guys go, I'll take care of it," the woman ordered the security officers.

"But Agassi-"

"Don't worry, I will take responsibility." She calmly objected.

After they all left, Chaeyoung started walking towards the gate while carrying me. Anxious, she continued to watch her surroundings.

"What a fool." the woman muttered as we passed each other.

Chaeyoung stopped walking and glanced at the woman with dark eyes. "What did you say?"

"No, I was just mumbling to myself."

"Liar! I knew you were said nasty thing to me!" Chaeyoung exclaimed emotionally.

"I really hate it when someone looks down on me. How great is someone who talks like that, huh!?"

"At least I was never be a burden on my parents like you."

The woman's words seemed to ignite a fire in Chaeyoung.

She suddenly let go of me and walked over to the woman with all her anger.

She pointed a pen right in front of the woman's face.

"Shut your mouth. You don't know anything about me!"

The woman raised the corners of her lips, looking down on the girl.

"Am I wrong? Wasn't the reason your parents brought you here to relieve their burden?"

"Why do you think your parents ignored your wish to return home?"

"Shut up... I don't want to hear it from you." Chaeyoung growled.

"Why don't they ever visit or just ask something about you, hm?"

"Do you know why?" asked the woman.

"I said shut up..."

"That's because they threw you away."

"SHUT UP!!!"

*SCRATCH*

My eyes widened in surprise, seeing Chaeyoung dare to scratch the woman's cheek with the tip of her pen.

Blood slowly flowed down from her cheeks. But the woman was not surprised. She touched the wound on her face as if she didn't feel any pain at all.

She licked the blood stain on her fingers with a grin.

"Is this all you can do?" The woman said dismissively.

Chaeyoung was really shocked to see the woman's relaxed reaction. Instead of feeling scared, the woman actually seemed to really enjoy it.

"If you really intend to kill me, you should stab my vital point here." The woman put Chaeyoung's hand on her neck.

"Leg go off me!!" Chaeyoung exclaimed, pulling her hand roughly until the ballpoint pen she was holding was thrown away.

"Why are you so hysterical? I'm just trying to teach you."

"Michin Nyeon..." The girl started to feel scared at the woman.

"Hey, aren't you too rude to people who want to teach you?" asked the woman.

"I don't need teachings from someone like you!!"

"You should be grateful that I want to teach a stupid and useless girl like you." the woman sneered.

"But, It's no use. foolish people will never listen to advice, they will only get offended and continue barking like a dog."

In that moment, Chaeyoung blinded by her anger, lunged at the woman until she fell to the ground.

She strangled her neck very hard with a killing intent.

"You're dead!!!" Chaeyoung exclaimed, tightening her grip even more.

But instead, the woman chuckled softly, flashing her a meaningful smile.

No.

No.

No.

Chaeyoung didn't know what she was doing.

She didn't know that she was facing her own death.

I took steps towards them, faster and more faster, until I was able to pull the girl away from Sana.

"What the-"

I punch her face very hard, not allowing her to speak a word to me.

"You'd better be unconscious..." I muttered with extraordinary fear that haunted me.

This is the only way I can save her from the devil's reach.

I kept beating her until she really couldn't put up any more resistance.

"That's enough." Sana said, holding my hand and pulling me away.

"You've hurting your own hand."

I looked at the back of my hand, which was covered in Chaeyoung's blood. I didn't even realize I had seriously injured the girl's face.

"I-I did the right thing, right?" I asked in a trembling voice.

"Is this enough? Eonni won't punish her, right?"

Sana gave a sweet smile, took out her handkerchief to clean the stain on the back of my hand.

"I'm sorry, you must be scared." Sana gently rubbed my hand while looking at me deeply.

"I hope you can choose who you hang out with in the future. Avoid problematic girls like her and never listen to what she said."

"Everything she said about this school was a lie, she intended to influence you so that you become a rebel like her."

My eyes widened completely, how did she know about my conversation with Chaeyoung!?

When did she spy on me?

She wasn't even around me.

"But don't worry, you are safe with me, I will protect you from people like her. As long as you obey me." Sana hugged my body tightly.

"You will listen to me, right?" The woman asked while rubbing my back.

The pain from last night's wound began to spread through my body due to her touch, I slowly nodded my head.

"Good girl." Now Sana gently stroked my head from behind.

*****

After the incident this afternoon, Chaeyoung was taken away by security officers. They said she would be disciplined for a few days.

I just hope nothing bad happens to her.

"Dahyun, why you're not eating? Is the food in this place was bad?" Sana's question interrupted my thoughts.

"N-no, that's not it." I answered.

"So?"

I put my chopsticks on the side of the tray, staring at Sana with doubt.

"Eonni, can I ask you something?" I asked nervously.

"Of course babe, anything for you." Sana answered happily.

"Actually, what medicine does this school give to all students? Why do we have to take it?"

Hearing that question, Sana immediately grabbed my medicine and swallowed it without hesitation.

Is it okay if she drink it??

"Don't worry, this isn't anything dangerous. It's just an ordinary vitamin that works to improve your memory."

"Then why are the colors different?" Ask me again.

"It depends on the level of dose are given. The higher the dose, the darker the color will be."I nodded in understanding, it seemed I was overthinking about the medicine they gave.

I thought it was something that would mess up my mind or something.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Uhmm... What Eonni doing in here? Isn't Eonni busy and couldn't visit me often?" I asked doubtfully.

"I have an appointment with an old friend here. So that's all." The woman answered.

"Is that Jihyo Seonsaengnim?" I guess.

"Ani, she is a dancer teacher at this school." She answered while sipping her tea.

"Momo sensei?"

A smile emerged from behind her cup.

"Is that what they called her?"

"What do you- ah sorry if I was presumptuous, I didn't mean to interfere in your business." I bow my head.

"Gwenchana, I just wanted to say hello for a moment and then leave." Sana put her cup back down.

"Jja~ finish your food then go back  studying. Tell me if you want to do streaming, I'll watch it."

Sana kissed my forehead softly before she left me alone.

Sana pov

I looked at the corridor along the way. Although this building looks a little different from the previous one. The atmosphere never changed.

With CCTV monitoring the movements of students in every corner, and students greeting each other at every meetup.

Makes me feel nolstagia during my old school days. It's funny, if I remember the old me.

"Your smile looks scary as usual." I turned around and found my old friend had just come out of her room.

"Hisashiburi dane, Momoring~" I greeted in a friendly tone.

"How dare you contact me through the principal. You still have face huh." She said annoyed.

"If I didn't do it, you definitely wouldn't want to see me." Answer me.

"Just fuck off and don't dare to come back. I don't want to deal with a murderer like you."

"Are you still angry because of that incident? Even though the police clearly said that I was innocent?"

"You think i can be fooled!?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"It's up to you to believe it or not. Besides, I didn't come here to talk about the past." I said walking closer to her.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"I just want to warn you not to touch new students."

"What does that have to do with you?"

"She's mine, I won't let anyone hurt her except me." Obviously I looked at her seriously.

"You damn psychopath. Just go to hell." The woman's growl made me chuckle softly.

"I'm just kidding. By the way, that red lipstick looks really good on you." I said touching the lipstick from her lips, then smeared it on my lips.

"I love the color, it looks so beautiful..."

"Like your boyfriend's blood." I whispered in front of her face.
