She sipped the drink and stared at the girl in front of her. Sera probably noticed how Riwon was staring at her so she started the conversation.

"How's the drink? Does it taste good? This is one of the best cafes here" She smiled.

"Yup, it's really good. But you really don't need to treat me something like this just to apologize. Your genuine words were enough." Riwon said.

"But I know you didn't fully forgive me! I know.. it's up to you to forgive me or not, but I will be sad if you really don't. Even though what I did to you was a bad mistake, you're such a good friend. I don't want to lose you"

Riwon just listened to Sera's words. She didn't know what to respond. It's always the same answer. She looked around the cafe as she's feeling bored. Didn't she say the cafe is one of the best? But why are there only two of them there, including the waiter?

"What time is it? Oh, 12:45 P.M. Maybe there will be more customers soon" Riwon looked at her watch. Suddenly Sera offered her plain water saying she should drink it after drinking something sweet. Without any hesitation, Riwon gulped down the water.

"How about we go play something after this? Sitting in the cafe is boring" Sera suggested.

"I don't mind. I'm free today"

"Cool! Wait, let me go to the restroom first." Sera got up and walked away.

Riwon opened her phone to see if there's a notifications from her boyfriend or not. There's only one notification and it's from Jungwon. He sent her a cat giving love sticker. She giggled. She sighed and placed her phone on the table as she leaned back to the chair.

"I feel tired"

———

"Please listen to me!"

"Okay, what is it? You don't need to pull me all the way here just to say something unless it's secretive right? Now, I'm curious" Junho raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms and looked at Heeseung who had his eyes down all the time.

"We need to stop Sera"

"From what?"

"We need to stop Sera or else Riwon will be in danger again!"

"Can you tell me more in detail? Why would Riwon be in danger with Sera?"

"That girl.. Hwang Sera isn't normal. She's not like us. She's a total psycho! I'm telling you the truth!" Heeseung grabbed Junho's shoulder and his eyes showed fear.

"Woah woah, I'm confused. Why are you telling me this? What did Sera do to her? Are you trying to frame an innocent girl? Seriously.. after you used to abused her—"

"I never abused her! I love her to the point I will do anything for her. She's the real culprit here, she's a manipulator! She abused me mentally."

"And why would I believe you?" Junho could see how frustrated Heeseung was.

"Huh.. I'm ready now for any punishment. Remember Riwon's accident? She got stabbed"

"I thought no one knew.."

"I stabbed her. I stabbed Kim Riwon. And I only followed Sera's order. Please.. please forgive me. I know I committed a big crime, I don't care if you want to report me to the police but you really need to stop Sera. I don't want her to go to jail if she does something to Riwon! I can't see her getting hurt" Heeseung cried.

Junho was shocked by the confession. He never expected Heeseung to be the real culprit and he never thought Sera could go this far. "Why are you telling me this?"

"Jungwon will hurt Sera if I tell this to him. I want you to know first so that you can stop Jungwon from doing that. I know it's my fault. I love her so much, I let her manipulate me, I almost killed someone just to make her love me back but she's still talking about Yang Jungwon.

I broke up with her because I don't want to have any connections with her. Before this I was so scared that she would report me to the police. She threatened me that she will tell everyone about this if I cut her off from my life. I really don't know what to do now.. Junho"

"And she did all of this because.."

Heeseung nodded. "Because she loves Jungwon. No.. she is obsessed with him. Being her boyfriend, I know something that you all don't. Her room, her walls were full with Jungwon's photos.

Her diary is filled with Jungwon's name. She even saved my contact as Jungwon because she wanted to imagine how it feels to have Jungwon's number in her contact. There's more but I think this is enough for now. I really don't know what I can do to stop her.

Why does she want him that bad?! Am I not good enough for her? I can give her all the love.."

Junho sighed as he patted Heeseung's shoulder. "Bro... you deserve someone better" A realization hits Junho when he remembered Riwon is meeting Sera today.

"Hey, did you know Riwon went out with Sera today?" He asked Heeseung but he shook his head. "No, I know nothing about this..oh"

Both of them looked at each other.

"Oh shit."

⚠️ tw !! violence, blood, ⚠️

Ugh, my head hurts.. Riwon blinked and her eyes opened. Her head felt like spinning and the bright light hurt her eyes. She tried to hold her head but she couldn't move her hands. That's when she realized she got tied to a chair.

"What is this?! Help! Someone please help me!" Riwon shouted while trying to get out from the rope. She suddenly heard giggles from behind.

"You shouldn't move a lot you know.. the rope will get tight and will hurt your wrist." Sera sat in front of Riwon, crossing her arms with a full smile on her face.

"Hwang Sera! Why are you doing this to me?"

"Can't you think? Gosh, how can you be the top student and still got tricked by someone like me? I guess you're only good at studying. But the real truth, you're just dumb. You think you're that good? You think you're an angel? Being kind to me even after what I did to you.. that's probably a part of your plan to make Jungwon fall for you!" Sera grabbed Riwon's chin, making her look straight at her eyes.

She wasn't satisfied seeing how Riwon didn't cry even a bit. Trying to act tough? Tch!

"Aren't you scared of the police? I'm sure Jungwon will notice I'm missing soon and find you. What's the point of doing all of this, Sera? Did you think you can get Jungwon by doing all of this?"

"Hahahaha! Hey, I know I will never get Jungwon. No matter what I did, how many times I tried my best, he's still falling for someone like you. That's why.. if I can't get him, you can't too. I can't wait to see the traumatic look on his face when he finds you.. dead."

In Riwon's eyes, that girl in front of her right now is nothing but a lunatic. Is she serious about killing me.. how can a student have the courage to do something like that.

She watched Sera walking to the couch, with an album in her hands. "Aw my love, Jungwon, you're so handsome!" She kissed the album multiple times which made Riwon disgusted knowing there's her boyfriend pictures in the album.

"Stop all of this, Sera. Jungwon isn't the only guy, there's Heeseung! You don't need to go this far, you will regret this later. If you stop all of this, and won't disturb me and Jungwon, I promise to let you go and say nothing to the police." Riwon tried to confront with her.

"Why do you keep talking about you reporting me to the police.. hey you will meet your death soon. You can't do that."

"I will let you enjoy your last moment first before killing you. I tried to hold myself right now to not smash your head with the hammer.. you deserve this, Kim Riwon. You stole Jungwon from me! I'm the one who loves him first, he's my everything! But you suddenly came into his life and seduced him. I still can't believe him loving an ugly bitch like you."

"Watch your mouth. You should look in the mirror. You're the ugly one right now, just look how desperate you are to get Jungwon's attention." Riwon said but guessed her words awakened the anger in Sera's.

Sera pushed the chair till it fell and stepped on Riwon's stomach, right at the place where she got stabbed a few months ago. "Argh—!"

"Do you want to get stabbed at the same spot again? I can do that for you." Sera dragged the chair with Riwon, making the girl start to cry because of how painful it was. She laughed seeing Riwon's crying face. "Louder! I want to hear how loud you can cry and beg me to stop!"

"Uh.. Jungwon.. Help me.." Riwon's voice quavers.

"There's no Jungwon here! I will make sure you suffer slowly before you die!" Sera grabbed the pocket knife from the table as she grabbed Riwon's arms.

"No! No! Please! I begged you! Ahh! It hurts!" Blood coming out from all the cuts Sera created on her arm.

"I will make you become uglier, I will make you hate yourself more than anyone, I will make you beg me to kill you because you can't handle the pain" Sera grinned at her.

Her smile became scarier. It looks like she's not scared of anything now.
