𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟎𝟔: 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Cha Soyeon woke up and saw Jin Da bum beside her, also starting to wake up. She recalled the events that transpired last night and started to sob. She was greatly fond of Eun ha, as she was the first female she made friends with on her first day.

"it's okay" Jin Da bum, beside her, noticed her silent sobs and rubbed her shoulder.

Soyeon noticed Hyun ho hugging Na hee as a form of assurance as Yoon seo sobbed.

"Lee Joo young" Mi na said as Soyeon looked in her direction and saw the mentioned girl still lying on the ground, unmoving.

"What happened?" Yoon seo inserted as Mi na looked at her.

"Joo young's being weird" Mi na continued shooting her best friend awake.

Mi na slowly slowly distanced herself as Yoon seo removed the cloth from Joo young's face. It revealed Joo young, eyes closed, and blue lips.

"During the night, Lee Joo young was executed by Mafia. Lee Joo young was a citizen"

Mi na came forward and sobbed, desperate and unable to accept the truth about her best friend.

"Before the last vote closed, a Doctor used their skill. They nominated Cha Yoo joon"

Everyone at the place looked at the boy as he tried to deny the accusations. "It's not me," Yoo joon said.

"Joo young" sobbed Mi na as Yoon seo touched the dead girl's neck and saw a mark.

"I think she was strangled" Mi na got up and walked hastily towards Jun hee and pushed the boy back, making him stumble back, luckily Hyun ho was able to stabilize the boy.

"Yah, Soyeon" Seung bin and Jin ha appeared beside her as Da bum distanced himself from the three, afraid of the two boys. "Are you okay?" the girl nodded and they turned back to the conversation.

"Mi na has a point. You and Go Kyung jun, what'll you do now?" Ji soo had asked Kyung jun who glared at her.

"Did I suggest to hand the phones in? You said that we had to give up our phones! This is all your fault. It's because of you" Kyung jun harshly said, pointing his finger at Jun hee.

"And you" Yoo joon looked up as he saw Kyung jun was referring to him. "Why'd you hide my girl's phone huh? You the Mafia?" Ji soo beside her boyfriend defended her lover.

"He found it, he was planning to give back Soyeon's phone after he found his. He voted for her because Yoo joon was planning to vote for each other" Ji soo, although her voice was firm, shakily said to Kyung jun. His terrifying gaze left her scared.

"Oh? And why should I believe you?" Kyung jun made his way to Ji soo slowly as the girl backed up.

"You guys could be the Mafia and were working together to kill Soyeon? And now you're covering up each other's asses?" Kyung jun raised his brow at the couple, who cowered at his gaze.

"I'm sorry" Jun hee said, getting all their attention on him as he walked towards the door, leaving the Hall as no one tried stopping him.

"Whatever, the class president got us into this. Let's just vote him out today" Putting his hands on his hips, Kyung jun stated as he made his way towards Soyeon who was being supported by Seung bin and Jin Ha.

However, before he could hold Soyeon, someone behind them said "It was you who took everyone's phones and said it was a good idea. Why change your tone?"

Jung won pointed out, she continued "Why did you take two phones in secret? Yours and what was supposed to be Soyeon, but wasn't" Jung won turned her gaze to Soyeon as the girl gazed back sadly.

Soyeon looked down as Jin ha comforted her, "It wasn't yours so technically, you shouldn't feel bad" he said.

Kyung jun stepped close to Jung won "Isn't it obvious? How are we to trust Jun hee? He could be Mafia" he took more steps until he was in the middle and let out a yell, causing everyone to flinch.

"Yah! Our lives depend on this game. Why should I entrust mine with someone else? I just used my brain, If not I could've died" Kyung jun repeatedly hit Da bum.

Soyeon wasn't able to listen to the whole conversation as the girl felt a pain in her ankle when she tried to stand by herself.

Seung bin noticed the girl's noise "Are you okay?" the girl shook her head and looked down at her leg and to her ankle.

Jin ha held the girl while Seung bin crouched and inspected the girl's ankle. He let out a surprised sound as he saw the big bruise forming.

His sound made Soyeon and Jin ha look at him "Is something wrong?" Seung bin removed his hand from the bruise and the other two were able to see the purple with a bit of black mixed, bruise.

Soyeon looked horrified at the bruise on her ankle "Were you trampled yesterday?" Jin ha asked as he guided her to sit on the floor as he also inspected the bruise.

"No" Seung bin interfered as he held up the ankle "There's a fingerprint here, it was done by someone intentionally"

"What's wrong?" the three looked and saw the class looking at them, as Yoon seo asked.

Kyung jun made his way to his friends and girlfriend and crouched down in front of the girl.

He saw the bruise and furrowed his brows, he looked back at the class with a glint in his eyes but as he was about to stand, Soyeon grabbed him.

"Kyung jun, let's just leave. It's no point" with that, the four of them left the Hall.

════

Soyeon was left in her room as the other three, after tending to her bruise and possibly fractured ankle, went out after Jun hee sent a message to discuss who to vote for.

She sat on her bed, looking at Yoon seo's pink bag and Jung won's laptop.

She placed her ankle on her thigh, but she heard a knock on her door, causing her to flinch. Dread fills her organs.

"Soyeon?" Yoo joon, opened the door. Soyeon made eye contact with her cousin before looking away, she felt betrayed by what he did yesterday. "Soyeon, I didn't want to get you killed, please believe me. It was all a misunderstanding" he begged.

Yoo joon went up to the girl and kneeled, gripping her knee as Soyeon refused to make eye contact with him, making him cry out.

"Please, I know your occupation" the girl looked at her cousin, wide-eyed. She looked at the open door, and the possibility of someone hearing this was not zero so she limped towards the door and shut it. Her limping didn't miss Yoo joon's eye.

"So Kyung jun was telling the truth"

"Where's Soyeon?" Woo ram had asked Kyung jun and his friends as they arrived at the cafeteria.

"A bastard broke her ankle, I don't know if it was last night by A mafia or she was trampled yesterday but if I find the person who did it, they better run"

"How did you find out?" Soyeon said, her eyes fixated on Yoo joon.

The boy took out his phone and showed his skill.

"You're a Doctor too?" Yoo joon nodded, as Soyeon looked at his phone. "You healed yourself?"

Yoo joon looked down in shame "I was scared. After what happened with our classmates, I wanted to live. I didn't want to die."

"Why aren't you at the meeting?" Soyeon looked at the boy as he stood up from his kneeling position and gazed at her seriously.

"I made up an excuse to talk to you" Soyeon tilted her head.

"When the phones scattered, I wanted to find the other Doctor. Once I realized that there was a cooldown, I knew that I had to find the other Doctor so we could discuss whom to heal, carefully. I came across many phones, but once I saw there was no skill, I disregarded them until I found your phone."

Yoo joon looked at his cousin seriously as Soyeon realized the risk of possibly healing the Mafia by accident.

" I found my phone after that and I was about to approach you but I was stopped" they shared knowing looks. "So, I wasn't planning on killing you, I swear"

"I believe you" Yoon joon let out a sigh of relief and hugged his cousin as Soyeon hugged back

"It's so ironic, we're both the Doctor. Remember we always played role-play games when we were kids? We'd always be the Doctors while our other cousins played patients." Soyeon smiled at the memories and added

"Well, The game took it seriously"

"Go Kyung jun voted for Park Woo ram"

"Shin Seung bin voted for Park Woo ram"

"Kim Jin ha voted for Park Woo ram"

════

Bursting through the door, Kyung jun saw Soyeon writing something in her notebook.

He also noticed that she was now once again wearing her school uniform but without the blazer.

"Soyeon, Let's grab something to eat" Kyung jun kneeled by Soyeon and carried her, bridal style, towards the Cafe as Soyeon gripped Kyung jun's shoulders.

"All the time" Seung bin sighed as Jin ha nodded. They stared at the couple before Jin ha grabbed Soyeon's phone and they left for the cafeteria but on their way there, they encountered Im Eun chan, Nam Yeon woo, and Jin Da bum. The latter's eyes filled with anger and jealousy but he was able to cancel it. The sight of Soyeon being carried like that, made him wish it was him instead of that bastard Kyung jun, he thought.

Kyung jun offered them food, earning surprised looks but they didn't decline and followed them toward the cafe.

Seung bin moved one of the tables close to the one they were sitting and Kyung jun gently placed the girl on the table and made sure her skirt didn't ride up.

She watched as the three served the other three food and was able to convince them to vote for Woo ram as she was, soon later, served cup noodles by Kyung jun.

"Soyeon, take this" Jin Da bum offered his rice ball to the girl and she accepted it "Thank you" she smiled at the boy, the boy smiling shyly back at her.

"Thank you, for giving me my phone yesterday by the way. I wasn't able to thank you yet" the boy smiled at the girl once again and looked down.

"It's nothing, Kyung jun and them were mostly the ones who were crawling and looking for your phone. It just happened to be at my shoe" she smiled at the boy "But still, Thank you" they made eye contact until Soyeon broke it.

"Yeaaa, we were like beggars Soyeon-ah! We deserved a thank you too? Don't you think?" Seung bin nudged the girl playfully as the girl tickled his sides.

But their goofy atmosphere stopped once they heard the PA announce.

"Park Woo ram, Lee Yoon seo, Ahn Na hee, Kim So mi, Kim Jun hee, Oh Jung won and Jang Hyun ho voted for Go Kyung jun"
