All the students were summoned to an emergency assembly the next morning. The students passed by the halls, whispering about the news flash that morning which had shook them up very badly. All throughout the school there was a sense of dread and confusion amongst them. Passing by the entrance hall, everyone's eyes wandered to one particular locker.
It used to belong to a blonde beauty with dark blue eyes and an arrogant smile. A picture of her in a cheerleading costume was framed in front of her locker with several flowers and messages placed in front of it. Some of the senior students were quietly sobbing while the others looked grim.
Soobin was also passing by the locker with her friend Jung Sera.
"This is so sad," Soobin murmured. "She didn't deserve this."
A television above their head was reading out the news flash about Rachel's death.
"Song Rachel, the only daughter of Song Yohan and Heiress to Fei Pharmaceuticals, has been found dead in her own mansion's basement," a news anchor reported. "Her body had been buried underneath the basement and was found rotting and her face had been burnt with acid which was likely the cause of death. A reporter on the scene also saw bite marks on her body which implies that she was probably sexually assaulted before being killed off…"
Soobin winced and looked away from the TV. She turned to Sera but to her surprise, her friend looked worried. Sera's dark eyes were unfocused as if she was thinking of something and her chubby fingers were fidgeting. She was a foot shorter than Soobin, very chubby with full cheeks and short hair. Sera was fearfully staring at Rachel's memorial.
"Sera?" Soobin poked her. Sera jumped in fright.
"What happened?" Soobin asked. "Why do you look so scared?"
"Nothing!" Sera claimed. "I...I was just thinking about the news. It's scary."
"You knew her, right?" Soobin asked. "Your brother is in her class. And they were dating too."
"They broke up weeks ago," Sera replied.
"Where is he? Shouldn't he be a little concerned about his ex?" Soobin frowned.
"He's with the upperclassmen," Sera said. "Let's go to the assembly."
Without another word, she pulled Soobin away. Meanwhile, the Hwang twins were not far behind, slowly walking with the crowd.
"Can't believe Rachel is dead," Minyoon said in a grim tone. "We just saw her a few weeks ago at the concert."
Rachel was one of the premium members of Minyoon's fanclub. She had always flaunted her wealth and influence at the concerts or events, bragging that she was close to Minyoon. Rachel even tried to date him on quite a few occasions but Minyoon turned her down under the pretext that he was a celebrity and it would ruin him if the fans found out. Truthfully, he just wanted to get away from her.
"As sis says," Yoonmin sighed. "Life and death are both unpredictable. She lived a very sheltered life and yet, died a horrible death."
All the students gathered at the assembly hall where the Principal was about to make a speech. The twins stood right behind Soobin and Sera, watching the stage with intent. Everyone was buzzed with gossip and they could hear snippets of some of the discussions.
"She was such a snooty brat," one girl was saying. "She made many enemies here."
"I heard that she was cheating on her boyfriend with some college guy," another student said.
"Poor Hyojin," one of the seniors said. "Having to deal with a cheating bitch and now, he's gotta suffer coz she died."
Soobin winced, feeling very uncomfortable. She did not know Rachel well but to hear people being so condescending towards her death was totally uncalled for.
"Hey!" she snapped at a group who was bitching about the deceased girl. "Someone just died! Pay some goddamn respect to her! You don't have to like her but at least don't speak ill of the dead."
"She made a lot of our lives here miserable!" one student shot back at her. "She deserves it."
"What else do you expect from a country bumpkin like her?" a tall brunette sneered and pointed at Soobin. "She has no class. Of course she'll support that dead bitch!"
Soobin was about to yell at them but someone stepped forward to face the group who was laughing at her.
Yoonmin's face was darkened in fury. He was glaring down at the students who were puzzled and to some extent, scared by his reaction. They were in awe of Minyoon but equally fearful of the other twin who roamed around the school looking like a thug. It was difficult to believe that a hooligan like that was the twin brother of the nation's heartthrob.
"Your dad works in my dad's company, Yang Kelly," Yoonmin said to the brunette girl.
"So?" she frowned.
Yoonmin crossed his hands on his chest and pretended to think. "Imagine what'll my dad do when he finds out that your dad once tried to steal from my account," he revealed. "I remember very clearly that my dad once handed him a cheque to deposit my monthly allowance in my account but your father attempted to take that money for himself. Thankfully, I had the cheque number and asked the bank to track it. They notified me that the money was cashed out by your father, Senior Manager Yang. I didn't tell my dad but confronted him and took my money back."
He smirked at Kelly who was now mortified. She was sweating when he added in a whisper, "If I catch you bad mouthing others, then I'll tell everyone what your father did and throw you in the limelight. Let's see how you handle all the ridicule."
Kelly glared at him but did not dare to say anything. Yoonmin turned away from the lot only to be confronted by the quizzical look of Soobin and the amused expression of his brother.
"What did you tell here?" Soobin frowned.
"Nothing," Yoonmin claimed but his brother put his hand around his shoulder and leaned in to his ear.
"Little bro, if you want advice on how to win over the girl, then you can watch my latest drama and get tips-"
Yoonmin threw him a deathly glare which made Minyoon shut up immediately. Soobin, on the other hand, was blushing upon seeing the twins being so touchy touchy. Her fangirl mind was already concocting forbidden fanfiction between the twins and how to publish them online.
"The forbidden love of the thug and the idol!" she gasped in glee. "That fanfic will be a hit!"
She was starry eyed while the twins only stared at her, bewildered by her sudden excitement. Sera, on the other hand, was staring at the trio with an envious gaze. She was staring at Soobin, who had gained attention from the Hwang twins within a matter of days whereas she was always overlooked and bullied.
The Principal came on stage and the hall immediately went silent.
"Students, I have summoned this assembly today to inform you of terrible news," he said grimly. "Our star pupil, Song Rachel, was found dead in her home. Her already bereaved family and friends are shocked by the event and they requested nothing more than privacy. We will be remembering her-"
The students were already bored of the Principal's lecture and were eager to leave. Sera was looking down at her feet, her face slightly wincing. She glanced at her brother, Hyojin, who was standing at the front row. He was extremely depressed by Rachel's death and was being comforted by his friends.
On her left were Soobin and the twins who were among the few students who were listening to the Principal. Sera quietly backed away, unnoticed by everyone as always. Even the teachers did not notice her sneaking out of the hall.
Once at the hall, she slowly made her way towards the girls' washroom and locked the door behind her.
Unbeknownst to her, a pale figure was shadowing her closely, its eyes full of rage and murder.
