Chapter 1 - At the Midnight

She watches Wonjae keeps looking through the pages of his biology notes written on his B5 size note book, trying to memorize the long notes inside. He even knows that there is no use in studying the subject so hard because he is going to forget all of them at a millisecond because of something other two with him will do. But he is fucking scared at the moment because of nothing?!

She, namely Yeseul is laying on the coach next to the chair Wonjae sitting. She keeps changing the channels of the TV, finding to watch something, and there is the perfect movie to watch at the moment, of course, it is non other than one of the new released horror movie which they always wanted to watch.

"Wonjae," Yeseul says while looking at the boy who struggling to study 𝖺𝗇𝖽 π—†π–Ύπ—†π—ˆπ—‹π—‚π—“π–Ύ hardly, "You watching this?" She says after he makes an eye contact with her, pointing at the TV from her eyes.

"Ah, you know?" Wonjae starts to talk, annoyed by the girl. "If they actually give a paper-"

"Don't be such an asshole." Wonjae immediately turns at the low voice appears at the door and sees skinny male figure, leaning at the wall next to the door.

"Sungho," Wonjae says, surprised from Sungho's sudden appearance.

"Just stop overthinking, Wonjae." Sungho says with his usual low voice tone.

"But, but," Wonjae starts to talk, "Both you and I know that when Yeseul say something, it turns out real-"

"Wonjae." Yeseul yell at the boy, making him go silent within a second, annoyed from his sudden change. She too knows that most of the things she says turns out real most of the time, but this time, it turned out annoying.

Wonjae is most scared because that once Yeseul told him, "Ah, today is not a good day," And Wonjae responded her as "Ah, don't care about it." Yeseul looked at the boy from the corner of her eyes, and Wonjae again said, "Things happen." And what Yeseul said in respond was, "Someone will die for sure, today is an unlucky day."

And it is just a day before the death of Yeseul's father and mother due to a car accident. But it's been almost 5 years after that happened, but still, Wonjae is freaking out when Yeseul say something without taking seriously.

It is really turns out annoying after Yeseul said Wonjae teachers will give a test paper as their class teacher told students to study. It is the damn reason for Wonjae studying so hard all the hours passing by, but still he could not memorize anything at all.

"Sungho, what ya got there?" Yeseul asks, looking at the few bottles Sungho holding from his hands and arms.

"Stole from the security guard." Sungho says like he has not done anything wrong while walking to the other coach opposite to the coach Yeseul sitting.

"He was drunk, it was easy." Sungho opens up the lid of a bottle of from it. Yeseul takes the bottle to her hand and pours into her mouth without thinking, but she doesn't know how much Wonjae is disgusted by these two drinking in his house.

"Hey, no drinking in my house." Wonjae says while looking at the girl and the boy, who are hundred percent ready for end up all the alcohol within minutes.

Yeseul and Sungho, they are living at the same place as Yeseul didn't have many relatives who were enough close to her to live with after the death of her parents, and Sungho's father was working at the same place as Yeseul's father work, and they were working closely. So, it turned out as this after the death of her parents.

But this day, Sungho's parents had to go on a business trip along with Wonjae's parents, so both three just gathered to same place as their parents told it will be safe when all of them are together, but it is the opposite. Two of them already are ready to have a drunk party.

"Let's go outside, then." Yeseul suggests after hearing Wonjae's objection towards drinking in his house.

"Okay," Sungho says and stands up holding three of the alcohol bottles, others are holding by Yeseul.

"Come on, Wonjae." Yeseul says, her voice is getting lower, "You will be studying all day if I told you tomorrow is test on all the days."

"Ah, okay." Wonjae says, finally,not because anything makes him feel happy, but because he couldn't win by talking with Yeseul.

"Come," Yeseul says and takes the lead to the outside. She keeps walking along, she knows that both the boys following her, so she doesn't need to check on them twice, or at least once too.

The whole walk is calm as they keeps walking along without taking. They could hear the sound of the silence, their own footsteps they hearing as they keeps moving along, sound of the breeze which hitting their bodies and the dogs howling from far away.

Yeseul stops after walking for several minutes at a familiar place which they always comes to have a chat about their favourite music bands, rappers, actors, and still there is a part of their talk which is relate to school, all the wrong things and negative emotions they gets from school are been revealed at the place, without any hesitation.

It is a large tree. Having a circumference more than 7 meters and height more than 10 metres, it is clear that the tree is older than 2 000 years, but still people doesn't take the tree much importantly like any other ancient trees.

And all happened from that thing is that the these three had a place to hang out, just wasting their free time after school.

Even there are some crazy incidents happened to them when they are around the tree, like there are several incidents that some thieves who are unaware of them walking to the tree to hide by the police officers, but ends up in jail thanks to these three.

The tree, it is located at an edge of a grass field. There are two old rusty swings few metres away from the tree, but no one uses at the time as it has rusted with the time, and if there is a person who still sit on the rusty swing is just Yeseul. She sits on it sometimes (she wouldn't swing), but not always. She is just used to it.

Sungho looks at Wonjae, who now has a disgusted look on his face. Sungho knows that Wonjae never has drink before, but he just offers him straight away.

"You drinking?" Sungho asks, and Wonjae's facial expression changes.

"I'm going to try for sure. Yeah, I'll drink." Wonjae says, and holds up the bottle which Sungho giving him.

Then Sungho looks at the girl, and her facial expression is what he really expected: a sarcastic grin is on her face. And there are two bottles she is holding by her hands. He then responds her with a same type of grin, just as her.
