CHAPTER 5: THE PUZZLING DEATH
Arya's face wore a confused expression as she recalled all the suicidal deaths that had happened around her. She felt shivers run down her spine, and her hands shook as the English teacher's red blood passed through her shoes.She is getting visual views of people who ended their lives in front of her again and again. Suddenly, she falls down. Min-Ho runs fast to hold her, but Seo-Joon holds her in his arms. This scene shocks every other student, especially the bully gang leader Mi Cha Sang-hee with a jeoulsy face.
As the school principal arrives and signals Seo-Joon to admit her to the medical room, he follows. The school principal, with a high-pitched voice, announces, "Respected staff and students, please move to your respective classrooms. Whatever happened will soon be sorted out, as our management has called the investigation team and the ambulance. Please don't panic, and everyone should attend the meeting after your lunch."
The handsome hunk, Seo-Joon, holds Arya on his back with the help of Min-Ho, and both swiftly move to the medical room. Seo-Joon gently places her on the bed, and Min-Ho calls the school's incharge doctor.
The doctor examines her and, with a quick motion, administers an IV, saying, "She is experiencing dehydration, which is why she became unconscious. She will be back to normal, and you boys are taking care of your foreign friend very well, unlike others."
Seo-Joon, with a firm voice, corrects, "She is not a foreigner because her father is Korean."
The doctor responds, "Hmm... Right! Boys, you can go and have your lunch,she will be back in class."
Min-Ho and Seo-Joon thank the doctor and head to the dining hall.Min-Ho, with a casual voice, said, "I had never ever seen you like this. I... mean you have a helping nature too? Particularly the girl Arya, you hate the most from the bottom of your heart."
Seo-Joon responded, "Yeah, you are right, but she is the same girl who will be my tutor in the evening. I want my schedule and classes to be done according to my timetable, so I helped her. Then, you too don't like her face, her activities in academics, and other extracurricular activities. What's the reason behind helping her? Did she also take classes for you too?"
"See, Mr. Park Seo-Joon, basically, I'm human, and I have humanity too. My character is also designed with a helping nature. So, don't think of it as something else. I'm really hearing some sounds of hunger from my stomach, so I have to fill it up, my friend. See you at the meeting hall," says Min-ho.
Park Seo-Joon washed his hands, getting vivid visuals of the English teacher's death. His classmates around him were also discussing the recent suicidal deaths. Without talking to anyone, he headed to the dining hall and waited in the queue for lunch. After getting his food items, he went to eat in a side corner.
The bully gang leader Mi Cha Sang-hee,stopped eating as jealousy filled her mind regarding Arya. She approached Seo-Joon, sitting beside him and attempting to talk, but he focused on his lunch.
The bully gang leader Mi Cha Sang-hee, frustrated, said, "Why the hell did you help that dead meat? I am literally the strongest person in everything, but when the topic is about you, I feel like you are my weakness. I wanted you as my man, and you clearly know that. So why did you help her? If you're really interested in investing your time in her, I will make sure to ruin her life. I'm warning you not to focus on her. In searching for brown color, you're going to lose the pure white color, which means I am more gorgeous than her. I don't want to see her with you, and if I find out, you'll see the devil in me. Do you understand my words? Huh... you should follow them. I'm sorry to interrupt your mealtime, and I hope you understand my feelings too."
After hearing her words, Seo-Joon got irritated and resumed eating, thinking about the unsolved math problem.In his mind, he tried to solve the problem, but Arya's face kept coming up, her voice, and her teaching disturbed his normal thoughts. So he decided to meet her.
Min-Ho was already on his way to see Arya. He saw Seo-Joon near the medical room, came without making any sound, and said, "Seo-jooooooon!"
Seo-Joon got scared, "Hey? What happened, Min-Ho? Why are you making useless noises near the medical room? please behave properly in certain places like the medical room."
Min-Ho made a gesture like closing his mouth and signaled to Seo-Joon, questioning why he came here. For Arya?
Seo-Joon, with his hand over his head, said, "I told you to stop your nuisance, not your voice, man. Yes, I came to see Arya because I have some unsolved doubts that eat up my head. So why did you come here? Is your humanity still running in your veins or something else?"
Min-Ho sighed, "Ufff! You know why I came here... to check up on Arya's health, and yes, my humanity wants to know about her condition," he said with a funny face reaction and his eyes got attention over the window, where the police start their investigation with a forensic team.
The young police officer Sam is on his way to the principal, "Your management name is getting famous nowadays. I not even clearly finished up Baekhyun's suicidal case, now this English teacher Hwa-Young's case entered as an unexpected turn. I don't think it's suicidal, I feel strange vibes around your campus. Did you see any unexpected things after or before her death?"
The school principal nods, "Yes, I too feel strange things. Today she was literally happy as I was promoted with extra bonus income for her service to our campus. After her death, I came over here to her body,a student who looks kind of ugly got unconscious, and she was admitted to the medical room as she had dehydration.
police officer Sam smirks," I see, but how can you call her ugly? Did anything dirty on her face or body? Did you see her real beauty inside?"
The principal, with a smiley face, said, "I thought you are a police officer, but you ended up asking questions like a real feminist. Hmmm... everyone has different perspectives on everything, and I stated mine, that's it."
