Take my breath away

Darling, reach into my chest.

You can take everything that's left here.

'Cause darling, I'm taken over

How much do we humans allow others to know our true selves?

I don't know how long I've been here, but when I forgot to follow up, I saw this musty, rectangular room. No matter where I looked, there were only four walls covering it. When I looked up, I could only see... It was just the ceiling and the small window that was so high I wasn't sure what was going on, but I just knew it happened so quickly that I could hardly stand even though I was still wearing my shoes. In this room, there was an iron door. One door, but I'm very sure that no matter what, it definitely won't open and even if I shouted at the top of my lungs, no one would hear. So now I'm trying to bring my consciousness back to normal mode and think about how to proceed. How did I end up here?

Then, after an unknown amount of time had passed, I compiled a list of events that might not be the whole story, but they were things I could think of.

It was a Friday night and I was invited by Lay, a friend of the Literature Club, to come to the end of term party with the kids at Riverdale High. I thought for a long time about whether to accept or not because if I were to go, I probably would. I had to drive home before 6:00 p.m. because Riverdale was about two hours from my city. That didn't even count how drunk I'd be able to drive home. But in the end, I did. I agreed because I had heard that my school's basketball team would be going. I was close to Sehun, the team captain, so I thought I would go with them instead.

I came back to get ready around 5:00 p.m. I walked around and checked all the doors and windows to make sure they were locked before sitting and waiting for Sehun on the swing in front of our house. It was agreed that I would drive him, but one of the basketball team would have to. As the driver to take us back, I was emailing my parents who had secretly gone on a date this weekend at Uncle Joe's Cabin. Actually, the two of them had invited me along, but I was old enough to know. That a seventeen-year-old kid like me doesn't want to see his parents falling in love in front of my eyes would be terrifying. And then a convoy of two Hummers turned and parked in front of my house.

“ Hey

Kaiyuu, are you ready to go have some fun?” Sehun opened the window and shouted to me in a good mood.

"Ready. You don't have to shout so loudly. Do you want old Grandma Camille next door to come and kiss me or what?" I walked in and whispered softly to Sehun in the car. I glanced over and saw a strange man sitting on the driver's side and I secretly whispered and asked Sehun again who that man was.

"Oh, no need to care. You haven't shown up to scold anyone for many days. As for Chanyeol, the new kid, he's really talented. So I dragged him into the team now to build a new friendship. Joy party with us tonight. And besides, today we don't have to drive because Chanyeol has already offered to drive us there and back.”

When Sehun finished speaking, he pointed his finger and ordered me to sit in the front seat next to the driver. The rest of the way, I kept tense because no matter how much I talked with this new kid's father, he always said yes and yes. Until I was annoyed and didn't want to talk to him. So I turned my head to look outside the car instead.

We arrived at a little after 8 p.m. and the car hadn't even turned off yet. Party-crazy people like the basketball team didn't even say a word and quickly jumped out of the car. I gently closed the car door because I remembered that Sehun had just requested this car at home. I got it, but when I thought about it, it was surprising that Sehun was willing to give his beloved child to drive by someone other than himself.

“Kai, I didn't expect you to come.” A man wearing a jacket waved his hand at me affectionately. I nodded at him once before walking toward him, but then I stopped walking. I turned back to the car and realized that the new kid had just finished locking the car, and I would look bad if I left him wandering around the event by himself.

“ Hey Boy

Come quickly, I'll take you to work.” I called out, but the man didn't seem sure I was calling him, so he turned left and right to see that there was no one else around, and then he slowly walked towards me.

The Riverdale High kids' back-to-school celebrations are always so spectacular. The last time I was there, I could have sworn they had ordered a giant ice slide just for the party. Today I saw such splendor again because the Blossom Mansion where the event was held was almost entirely decorated with decorative lights. I have to admit that this mansion already looked eye-catching from the first time I saw it. The more colorful lights are decorated, the more beautiful it looks. Plus, look at their swimming pool. Oh my god, that slide has come back again. I really want to know the secret of that ice and how it's made. To be able to stay that long without melting

“Kai Yu has just arrived.” Lay walked over and hugged my neck as he raised his wine glass and drank.

“Well.”

“Why are you so late? And who is this?” I felt a tickle in my neck as Lay gently rubbed my head against it.

“So, where did the new kid named Chanyeol come from? Uh, let me think about it for a second. Yes, he's from Liberty High.”

“At Crestmont?”

"I think so, when I asked him something, this cyborg just kept answering and saying so and so. If you don't believe me, try asking." I shrugged my shoulders in boredom.

“Is it the school where a girl named Hanna committed suicide and recorded her on tape?” Lay asked the new kid, and as expected, he didn't try to be friendly at all by letting go. The noise came out of his throat, but I felt like he looked upset from the moment Lay walked up to him. He looked upset even from the car, but here his face looked very tight and he was standing there staring at Lay with an adorable look. I'm afraid again. Why do I have to stand with someone like this? Sehunnie doesn't do anything about bringing people here and doesn't know how to take care of them, so she has to inconvenience other people. I want to go drink so bad.

“Hey Lay, I saw Arcee just now, what was he doing? He looks a lot thicker.” I ended the awkward conversation just now by changing the subject.

“Haha, it's true. You don't come here often. Arcee often helps out with his father's work, so it's like he's getting some exercise.”

“Very good, I want to have a good figure.”

“You already have a good figure, Kai. Don't think too much. Go sit down and I'll get you something to drink.” Lay pulled my hand and led me to the bright red sofa that sat in the middle of the living room. I didn't know if there were a lot of Liberty High kids or there were kids. Others came to join in too, causing a lot of people to see. I was shocked when my hand was suddenly grabbed by someone I don't know. When I turned around, I saw that it was the new kid who was pulling me. I suspect he was afraid he might get lost. But when I looked at him carefully, I saw that he was saying something to me. The music here was too loud. I couldn't hear anything. I was about to tell Lay to stop walking, but when I realized it, Lay's hand had slipped out of my hand like Thinking that the new kid would know, he grabbed my hand and led me up the stairs to the second floor of the house.

That new kid walked me blindly into someone's room and when he got in he bolted the door again. He probably wasn't going to do anything crazy like I was thinking, right? I'm not drunk yet, I'm going crazy. Or if you want to wrestle me, drug me first?

"Uh, what did you say just now? The music was so loud, I couldn't hear it." I asked him, but he didn't answer.

“What is this new kid going to say? If there's nothing else, I'll go.” I asked again, and this time I went to open the door.

“Sure, but not here.” He pushed the door shut and used both his arms to hold me back, his breath blowing against my ear. A strange feeling of restlessness began to take over me. Oh my god, am I in this random situation? How the hell is this guy standing so close like this?

“Good, then let me take you to speak somewhere else.”

“Don't dream. “That was the last thing I heard before I felt a sharp pain in my neck and couldn't feel anything else.

That's right! I was last with that new guy. He must have been the one who brought me here. What the hell, what am I going to do? I can't escape from my phone. Or should I do it like in the movie? I should sit and think carefully about why I was arrested and imprisoned. What did I do for him? Or did I make his sister pregnant and he wouldn't accept him, so he would arrest me and do the same thing as Soraya in the accused of false love, obviously crazy? I'm still a virgin and I'm a good Christian. Church every Sunday never lacks hope. If Sehun and Lay couldn't get their hopes up by now, they'd definitely be drunk and still not wake up. As for the parents, they'd probably be so in love with their sweet love that they'd forget their children. Why does God have to punish them? Things that the child doesn't know what he or she is doing.

Crack!

Is that the sound I thought? Someone was opening the door. Where the hell should I hide? As I was standing up, a familiar man walked in the door.

“ shit!

You really are the new kid.”

“Are you awake and thinking about sneaking in while you sleep?” He said like it was a joke, but that made me really angry.

"Aren't you joking? Why did you tell me to take you to jail? Are you a psychopath or something that you have to secretly watch people sleep?"

“Haha,” he burst out laughing.

“What's so funny?”

“You are so funny that even when I took you and imprisoned you, you didn't seem afraid at all. So admirable.” Then he suddenly walked closer and closer to me. I backed away until my back almost hit the wall. He reached out his left hand and stroked my cheek, but I held his hand away.

"Look, let me tell you this before. If you think you're going to kill Ai and escape, you're wrong. When Ai's friends and family know that Ai is missing, everyone will definitely try to find Ai. And then you'll be the first suspect because people... Others saw Yu with Ai for the last time.” I started to tremble a little because after he finished listening to me. He smiled viciously as the hand that had gently stroked my cheek was now using it to grab my neck.

“Do you think I will let anyone escape like that?”

“What do you mean? Just a.”

“Haha, there's no one left alive, there's only Yu and I.” I was struggling because I couldn't breathe. He released his hand. I collapsed to the ground. What the hell does this mean? There's no one left alive. Don't be crazy. I don't know how many dozen people saw him. Is he going to kill them all?

“I can't believe it, you're lying so brazenly.”

“Come on Kai, darling. There's no way I'm going to lie. Look at this.” He held up something and I quickly picked it up. Impossible, this was Lay's family ring, there was no way he would take it off.

“You bastard, what are you doing? Tell me what you are doing!”

“Darling, learn to speak rudely like this. It's not very good to ask what you did. If you act like a good girl, I'll tell you.”

“Shut your damn mouth and don't call me darling. I don't know a demon like you.” I violently tugged on his collar. Fear creeped up on me. Tears of regret began to flow. What he said was true as I stared deep into those black eyes and I discovered that he had not lied to me at all.

There was no one there to wait for me to return, and in the end, I had to die like everyone else because I saw the face of this demon.

“Shh, don't cry, darling,” he whispered softly to me and gave me a warm hug, resting my tear-stained face on his shoulder. I don't know how long I cried. All I know is how miserable it was to accept comfort from this evil creature.

My wounded eyes tried to open after crying so much, a tiny ray of sunlight streamed in through the small window. I sat up without opening my eyes. My brain went white as I thought about what had happened, but then I remembered something. I pushed myself up from the floor and walked towards the thick iron door, my hand touching the knob and my heart almost breaking. Stop dancing

“Hey Kai, darling, are you awake yet? Come sit here. I'm watching television,” Chanyeol calls out. Without hesitation, I walked towards the owner of that voice after I opened that iron door. Yes, I already knew that he hadn't locked the door and I also knew why he had brought me here.

“Why do you have to tease me? If you sleep in there it's dirty and you'll die and your back will hurt.” I slammed Chanyeol's shoulder hard once and then sat down next to him.

“I want to prove something.”

“So did you get the answer?”

" can "

“Then that's good.” After that sentence, no more words were spoken while the two of us listened to the news on the television.

“Darling, why did you kill those two people?”

“The same reason you killed nearly a hundred people,” I replied after resting my head gently on Chanyeol's shoulder. He held my hand and turned off the television. The two of us sat and stared at the fireplace for a long time, satisfied with the true love we had discovered and with no discomfort interfering between the two of us.

I might be a bit confused because there's an interview at the end of this chapter. This isn't a problem.

I'm here to answer. ^___^ Is there anyone who would like to ask Chankai a question? Please try asking questions and we'll answer them and add them to the interview. Is that good?
