((A/N: hey guys. Just a warning. This is where things get really serious and slightly gruesome things will be mentioned so if you are sensitive to these kind of things, I suggest you skip the first part of this chapter that is in italics. Thank you. I hope you enjoy the chapter♡))

I entered that very same horrifying room again. The room was dark and the things inside were just barely visible. Chains and ropes everywhere and tools obviously used for torture. I knew because there was dried blood all over it and the room smelt of metal and death. It smelt like something's been rotting down here all along.

The chains dangled from the ceiling, clinging and clanking against other dirty metal chains hanging from the ceiling. I could just imagine the many people who were hung from them and tortured. The blood dripping down their limp bodies as they screamed for dear life.

Who knew what kind of horrible things those people went through. Screaming for help only to experience the terrible realization that no one was going to come for them. They were trapped underground with these people, locked away and then in the end they finally give up hope and the only hope they have left is of that to die already.

I noticed little creepy looking insects crawling on nearby tools for torture set on a table. Creatures I've never even seen in my life. They were living off the dried blood on the tools, while other spiders waited in the corners for a chance to eat those creatures. I wanted to throw up. The smell would only keep getting worse and it was suffocating me. I exited the room but I already knew where I'd end up again. In that very same horrible room. Every room seemed the same with disgusting creatures and a rotting smell and there was no escape. Was this my fate?

Laughter kept playing in the back of my head. He knew I couldn't handle this. It was too much for me. Why did I get involved? There really was no escape now.

◆◆◆◆

My eyes were squeezed shut before I finally woke up from my horrible dream. I realized I was curled into a ball, clutching into the duvets of my bed, shivering. My blanket had fallen off me in the process of me tossing and turning in my sleep. As I lifted my head, I felt something wet on my cheeks and looking at my pillow, I noticed the tears I'd cried during my nightmare.

This was probably my seventh time waking up like this. Memories of the day before with Yoongi and Jin would not leave my mind and entered my dreams. What we'd seen there was haunting me. My dreams just kept repeating and repeating what I'd seen yesterday.

I checked the time on my phone beside me. I woke up just ten minutes before my alarm would go off. I decided to get up and take a quick shower before going to school today. I didn't usually eat breakfast in the morning but I guessed this morning I could use these extra ten minutes to eat something.

Turning the taps of the shower, I could feel my eyelids getting heavier due to my lack of sleep. Hopefully today would be less stressful than yesterday.

~~~

Walking through the gates of the school, I noticed the familiar backside of a blonde haired boy.

"Y-Yoongi!" I called out and ran to him. He stopped walking and turned to face me.

"Uh, hi," he said, obviously confused as to why I would even want to greet him in the morning.

"I, um, wanted to check up on you," I said, little out of breath from running all the way to him. "If you were doing okay after yesterday. You were... more quiet than usual and I thought it must have been hard for you - facing that place again..."

I swear, for a split second I could see a small smile form on his pale face before disappearing again. Maybe it was because I actually noticed, or even cared.

"I'm fine," he said but it looked like he was lying. Seeing that I wasn't buying it, he sighed. "Okay, maybe I'm not... But I will be. Don't worry about it," he said in a tone that sounded like he was annoyed. But I didn't care. I couldn't help but care. "What about you? You're scared pretty easily and seeing something that crazy must've been scary," he said.

"Yeah... I think I'm over the shock finally," I said, giving him half truths. I didn't want him to think I couldn't handle this. I was over the shock, just now I wouldn't stop getting nightmares about it.

"I told you not to get involved," Yoongi said.

I sighed. Not again. "Yeah, yeah. I know. Whatever. It's too late now." I said.

I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder and saw another on Yoongi's shoulder, pushing us apart and none other than Kim SeokJin stepped between us.

"Sorry to break up the romance, but we have some things to discuss," he says.

"Firstly, we're going somewhere tonight, so tell your parents, kids," Jin said, flashing my dad's book up to us, and then looked to Yoongi. "Oh wait, except you. I forgot. Yours are dead, right?" Jin said, smirking to Yoongi and winking at him. Yoongi was visibly getting mad already.

"Secondly, I need you two to stop speaking in public. People are talking, you know," he continued.

"But you're talking to us," I said.

"I have my reasons. But only this once I'll do this, okay?" He said. "I don't want to be seen with the so called, Spine Breaker. You too," he said, looking to me. "Stop talking to him in public. He's a monster, remember? He needs to be isolated." He then looked at Yoongi with a smug look on his face. "I mean... You should be used to it by now anyways, isn't that right, Yoongi?" Jin smirked and then started to laugh.

Yoongi immediately grabbed Jin by his collar, pulling him closer with a look of anger in his eyes. "You bastard," he said.

"What? You know it's the truth," Jin said, unfazed by his action.

Just as Yoongi was about to land a punch on Jin's beautiful face, the intercom sounded and called out all three of our names to come to the office.

"Saved by the bell," Jin said, smirking again and honestly I just wanted to wipe it off his face.

I didn't even know why he said that. The fact that the principal was calling us was anything but good.

Yoongi let go of Jin's collar and pushed him back before turning around and heading in the direction of the principal's office. I stared at Jin for a while before turning to follow Yoongi. And not long after, so did Jin. Walking beside these two, I felt quite small and I could feel everyone's eyes on us as we walked to the principal's office. Because, what could three completely different people have to do with each other. I walked shyly and felt so nervous. What could the principal possibly have called the three of us for?

When we arrived the principal looked dead serious. "Yesterday," he started. "We caught some students skipping school and they told us they found you two," the principal said, pointing to me and Yoongi. "And you," he looked to Jin. "You weren't at school either?"

"Sorry, sir," he said, ever so dignified. "I actually told the secretary yesterday. I guess they did not tell you, but I had another modeling shoot yesterday, sir," he said.

"Oh.." He replied and softened his expression. This principal had a thing for prodigies at his school so he was always automatically nicer to them so that they would mention his name on TV if ever they became famous. "Alright, then," he said and then turned to me. "And you?" His expression changed to serious again.

"I-I got sick this morning, sir," he didn't seem to believe me so I did the only thing I could do to get him off my back. "I might look fine now, but yesterday it was really bad, sir. I just got to school and started throwing up. Even the colour--"

"Okay, okay, okay!" He said, cutting me off. He looked away in disgust and I smirked. "You're excused..." He then looked up again but this time to Yoongi. "And your reason?"

Yoongi didn't even try. He looked nonchalantly into the principal's eyes and shrugged.

"You can't speak?" The principal asked sarcastically. "Min Yoongi, for someone who's offered a free position at this school, you would think you'd be really greatful and strive to be a great ambassador for this school but this is not your first time doing things like this. You better get your act together," the principal said and Yoongi just stared back emotionlessly. "Detention. This afternoon."

Finally, Yoongi had reacted. "What?" He asked. "Today? Why not tomorrow? I have plans this afternoon, sir," he said.

"Well you should have thought of that before skipped school yesterday," the principal said while stacking his books. "Alright. Out. I have work to do."

Yoongi stared at him astonished. "What? No!" He said.

The principal glared at him.

"Sir, please..." Yoongi begged. "Not today. Any other day but today."

"Sorry, Mr Min. This is final," the principal said.

Yoongi groaned. "Fine!" He walked aggressively out the door. Jin and I then walked out after him.

Jin walked out before me and when I stepped out, I felt a hand take my wrist and pull me slightly to him. It was Yoongi, standing beside the office door.

"Y/n, you can't go tonight, okay?" He said and I gave him a look of confusion. "I'm serious. I don't want you being alone with him," he said, looking to Jin who stood further ahead from the two of you, smirking to Yoongi. "I don't trust him."

Jin then walked towards us with a smirk on his face. "Yoongi, I hope you know I'm not changing the date tonight," he said. "I guess it's just you and me," he said, putting his arm around me.

Yoongi pulled me away from his grasp and in the process, Jin's hand slid onto mine and he pulled my hand to him.

Oh, boy. What have I just gotten myself into? Yoongi was holding onto my arm and Jin was holding my hand. And people were staring.

I quickly pulled myself out of their grasps, my face red from embarrassment. "Are you two kids or something?" I said and walked away.

I didn't walk too far from them yet and I heard Jin's last words to Yoongi.

"She's coming with me and there's nothing you can do about it." He said. "I'm going to make your life a living hell, Min Yoongi."

Like hell I am. I won't take orders from a narcissistic asshole.

I was getting hot from all the nerves and since school hadn't started just yet, I went outside by the front gate for some fresh air. I sat on the steps by the entrance, facing the front gates when I saw an expensive looking black car pull up in front of it. A man got out of the front and went to the back to open the door for whoever was in the back. Woah, this person must be rich to have a chauffeur. My eyes grew large when I saw the person who stepped out of it. Jungkook.

He walked through the gates with a straight face and he seemed more handsome than last night when I saw him. Girls were already staring and swooning over the black haired boy. But when he looked up the first person his eyes met with, were mine and his eyes and face immediately lit up. He rushed to me.

Oh, no. He's a cute new rich handsome boy at our school and had the potential to become popular and him talking to the least popular girl in the school could cause a lot of attention and hate towards me. This cannot happen. But I couldn't walk away when he was smiling at me like that.

I stood up to greet him. "Jungkook?" I said. "What are you doing here?"

"Y/n!" His face lit up. "I thought I was gonna be all alone here. But my favourite girl is already going to my school," he said, slapping the side of my arm with a grin.

I gave him a nervous laugh. I could already feel the glares girls were giving me.

"Last night was fun. I should go to your house more," he said, and I felt the glares intensify. Oh, god. I hope they didn't misinterpret that.

╥﹏╥ aaaahhh for crying out loud! He's like a brother to me, it's nothing more than that!! (ㄒoㄒ)

I wished I could have screamed it aloud. I hated all the attention I was receiving this morning.

I tried to calm myself down. Maybe I was just paranoid.

"Oh, right! I forgot to answer your question," he said when he felt me go quiet and misinterpreted it for that. "My dad put me in this school. I have no idea why though. He just decided to do it yesterday and somehow he always gets what he wants."

"Wow. Well I'm glad I can be your first friend here," I said, smiling to him and trying my best not to be affected by the stares I felt on us. "Hey, I'll take you to the office and you can get your schedule there," I said.

"Thanks!" He beamed. "Can you give me a tour too?" He asked sweetly.

"Of course," I laughed.

Jungkook turned out to be a year younger than me, I realized when we went to fetch his schedule. Just after that the bell had gone so I just showed him the basics of where his classes would be before leaving to find my own. I told him I'd give him a proper tour when it was first break and I told him where to meet me.

I made my way to homeroom and sat by my usual seat, alone by the window. Other students were already entering the room, chattering away, and just so that I wouldn't look awkward or feel completely alone, I decided to take out a book to at least look like I was doing something.

I opened my bag and just when I was about to take out a book, I got the biggest shock of my life. One of the disgusting creatures from yesterday in that underground hell hole was crawling on my books! I had to suppress my gasp and the desire to throw up. I kept a straight face on the outside because I didn't want anybody seeing my weakness or think I was weirder than I already was, but on the inside I was screaming. What the heck is this thing doing in my bag?!

I took a piece of paper out of my pencil bag and tried to get it to crawl on that before I would throw it in the bin or anywhere far away from me. But the damned creature would not do as I wished.

I suddenly heard a gasp near me and I quickly closed my bag, hoping they didn't see the creature inside it.

When I turned my head, it turned out to be the same girl from yesterday at the convenient store who stood up for me. She looked like she'd seen a ghost.

"Y/n! You're alive!" She exclaimed. Oh my gosh. People started turning their heads to us, confused. Ugh, more attention.

A nearby girl giggled and shook her head. "What are you even saying, Mina?" She said to the girl before me. I recognized her as the girl who always only talked to me when she wanted to use my stationary.

"She was with Min Yoongi yesterday! I thought he was going to kill her," she said.

"Woah, daebak!" The girl beside her exclaimed. "What exactly happened, Y/n?"

I felt so pressured and many eyes were already on me, I felt like I had to answer, but what?

Before I could speak, the other stuck up girl from yesterday showed up again. "No, actually, what was this morning about?" She burst in, asking me and looking at me with such content. "You were talking with the most popular boy in the school and Spine breaker. What are the chances of that?"

Luckily (or so I thought), before I was given the chance to speak, Jin appeared. The girl spun on her heel and immediately went to Jin. She opened her mouth and he already sighed.

"Let me guess. You want to hear about this morning?" He said, tiredly. She nodded. "Don't you people have anything better to do?" Jin asked, exasperated.

"But if you must know," he continued. "Spine Breaker was using her and maybe even targeting her. I noticed and decided to save her," he said.

Oh what a Romeo he is.

"Why though?" The stuck up girl asked. "Why would you even do anything for her? She's so..." She turned to me not finishing her sentence and looking at me uncertainly and disapprovingly.

Ouch.

"Can't I save someone in distress?" Jin asked, obviously confused by her words.

"No it's just--"

"She's my girlfriend."

It took me a while register it. I blinked. Did I just... Did I hear what I just think I heard? Kim SeokJin uttered those words just now. Referring to me.

...what?

The whole class went quiet.

"What?" The girl in front of him finally spoke.

"She's my girlfriend. That's why I protected her," he said.

I turned completely red. I was furious. Does he know what he even just did? Almost every girl in school is going to bully me now, probably. Because of his stupid lie.

"What?" She said. Touche.

"I like her, Jiyeon. I care for her. She cares for me. We're in love and I don't care what you you guys think, okay?" He looked around the class, showing how serious he was.

When he saw they got the message, although they were still shocked, his expression changed to neutral and he walked towards me, sitting in the desk next to mine, facing me as if he wanted to talk.

I don't know why, maybe I was just too embarrassed or furious, but I got up and left the classroom.

Jin quickly followed and tried to stop me. "Y/n!"

I finally stopped walking after a while and faced him. "What the hell were you thinking?"

Jin's serious expression turned into a smirk. "I know right. That was a good excuse, wasn't it? Now it won't be weird if I talk to you at school," he said.

"How can you do that? You're not just any guy, Jin. You're Kim SeokJin. Everyone is going to hate me now because of you. I was better off invisible," I mumbled.

He chuckled. "Aww, don't worry, baby girl," he said and I gave him a disgusted face at what he just called me. "Everybody knows I don't really love you," he said.

It hurt a bit when he said those words. I don't even know why. I know he doesn't love me and I don't want him to either. "Then why would you say those things in class?" I asked, confused and then added on, "if you know nobody would love me?"

"Because why wouldn't someone want to date you? You're easy, vulnerable and desperate. And that makes it all the more easier to get you into bed with anyone," he said smirking.

I gave him my most disgusted face. That was like a blow to the stomach. He's going to make everyone believe that I'm just a clueless, desperate girl that's being used and played by the most popular boy in school. I'm very sure I was completely red out of anger by then. My eyes were steaming and before I knew it, I slapped him. Hard.

And Jin still smirked. He got what he wanted.

Yoongi was right.

"You fucking bastard," I said, with a serious and hurt expression on my face.

With that, I turned and left the hallway, away from the devil who's name was Jin.
