Yeseul again starts to read all the answers she has written on her test paper. Even she did read them over and over again for a whole hour, she is not sure about a single answer she has written the correct answers on the paper.
She feels dizzy due to drunkenness and the incident happened her and others last night and could not manage to get out from the thoughts about it.
"Ah," She mumbles herself as knocking the papers to the desk, looking at the all empty spaces she has leave to answer the questions which she doesn't know any answer for.
She looks at the boy who is sitting few seats to the back of her. He has fallen to the same incident as her and is looking at the paper, awkwardly.
"Wonjae," She murmurs, and the Wonjae immediately looks up at the girl.
He shows Yeseul 5 of his fingers to her, and she lip syncs the answer for the question. Wonjae figures the answer at the first term, and he writes the answer on his paper and looks at her again.
"Answer for-" Yeseul moves her mouth and shows 3 of her fingers to Wonjae. Wonjae straitens his shoulders, showing that he doesn't have any clue about that.
"Shit-"
"What did you say?" Yeseul suddenly shocks at the sudden voice she hears next to her, when she turns, their class teacher is standing there, right next to her, looking at her paper.
"Eh, nothing."
"5 marks away from both you and you," She saying while pointing at Yeseul and Wonjae.
"Shit," Yeseul again curses under her breath, 'We are doomed, completely.' She thinks.
"Collect the papers now," Another teacher peeking into the class and shouts, and all the students keeps their papers on the desk as the teacher start to collect them.
"Fuck," Yeseul curses, again under her breath.

Sungho is outside the building, leaning on a tree at the edge of the school ground. He is thinking about the last night incident, and just like other two, he couldn't get out from the thoughts about it. He doesn't really remember all happened, but remember about the strange vision he got, that he felt like living in two places at the same time and fighting for one habitat. He doesn't know any reason for get the sudden vision, and is sure that it isn't because his drunkenness. He has drunk there many times before with Yeseul, but never something like that has happened before.
Atmosphere is calm around the school park, as he keeps thinking, watching the primary grade children playing around. He doesn't care about them, and closes his eyes, trying to concentrate and come up with a conclusion or at least a possibility.
"Sungho," He opens his eyes as he hears the low feminine voice near his ear, at the right side of him. Yeseul is standing there, leaning on the tree as usual next to him.
"What the really fucking hell happened last night?" Sungho says, without changing his low voice tone.
"I don't know," Yeseul says, looking at the ground. She doesn't even remember most of the things happen last night, she only knows that they went to the tree and drank, and suddenly something strange happened. She still feels sick about it, that the sudden choking without any reason and again breathing and again choking. She absolutely hates the incident last night.
"Are we going there? Just to check on?" Wonjae tells, walking towards them, holding three cups of coffee by his hands. His voice his filled with the want of seeing what happened.
"You need to choke until death?" Sungho saying.
"Ah, no." Wonjae says. He doesn't know about the last night incident as he wasn't choking like Yeseul or Sungho, nor feel the way and actually nothing happened to him. He just now wants to see what happened clearly, and enjoy some thrill. What he does see isn't make him feel that way others did. "Come on, Yeseul you coming?"
"I would," Yeseul says, she also needs to know the truth, what is happening behind all and who is the person who doing this.
She does believe the supernatural happenings sometimes, most the times actually. She does believe those of the supernatural incidents which she feels that could be possible. It doesn't make any sense, she knows, but still, it is the way she is. She doesn't need to change it, even she needs, her mind would not forget all the things which belongs go her mind, that her philosophical side.
"That's it, Yeseul," Sungho says, "Do you want to chock until death?"
"We can check Sungho." Yeseul says him while hitting his shoulder from elbow, and he looks at her from the corner of his eyes, rubbing his shoulder. "Something really happened last night."
"I know that something did happened," Sungho says, and others just keeps listening, "But still, does it makes sense? We were drunk after all."
"Sungho, I wasn't drunk that much as you do." Wonjae jumps, "I'm sure that something which is not normal happened."
"Alright, when are we going?" Sungho says, he seems to be annoyed, but still, he too needs to know what is happening there.
"Right after we get out from this hell." Yeseul says, and Wonjae slightly laughs, but it isn't funny at all as most, almost every of the students knows that school is a hell.
"Okay, so," Sungho says. Wonjae gives two of the coffee cups to Yeseul and Sungho, and next they enjoys their drinks, talking nonsense just as always.

It is the time they told they'll meet up at the tree, after the school, at it is the night as they had extra classes after school. Cold blows of wind hits their bodies as they keeps starting at the tree awkwardly, not knowing what to say or do correctly.
Yeseul is wearing her normal outfit, a black hoodie over a t-shirt and black denim jeans. And Sungho too if wearing a black hoodie and light blue jeans. Wonjae is wearing a white colour short sleeve shirt and blue denim jeans. Their cloth choices.
"So?" Wonjae says, killing the silent within the three. "What are we going to do?"
"Just as yesterday night happen," Yeseul starts to talk without thinking what she is talking about, "Keep hand on the trunk, somewhere around here," she keeps her hand on the trunk at a random spot, "And you-"
"Yeseul," Wonjae says as Yeseul stops talking out in a sudden, she never stops taking, especially when spitting out her philosophy about something.
Unexpectedly, Yeseul is silent, and not moving at all. Both the boys watches her, and she falls on ground, coughing.
"Yeseul," Sungho shouts and bends down at her, holding her shoulders. "Talk, Yeseul."
"Sungho," Wonjae says, his voice is unusually shakier. "Sungho," He again talks out to Sungho. "Tree, tree is glowing." Wonjae finally says, and feels like a lump got out from his mouth.
Sungho looks up at the tree, and the scene totally makes his mind go upside down, it is really glowing. Tree glows with a pretty bluish green colour, giving him cold chills all over his body.
"What is going on?" Sungho says crazily and hits the trunk, "Yeseul, talk." Sungho says, holding the girl on his lap. He could feel her shivering badly, and he checks her breath right when he reminds about that, and breath is, "Yeseul, Yeseul." Sungho screams her name, even she did breath, her breath is too shaky and slow.
"Sungho," Wonjae again talks out. Sungho looks up at the tree, and now it is glowing with multi colours: bluish green, grey, pastel pink, and all the colours mixes with each other, but still, doesn't losing any of the colours. It is a pretty view, if like watching a movie, but it is actually scary in the reality, that suddenly an supernatural things starts to happen.
Sungho feels dizzy as watching the colours, like he's been bewitched, and he then hears the familiar siren, making his most go numb all of a sudden, and shivering and he falls on the ground, tears already streaming down through his cheeks.
'What is going on?' Sungho thinks weakly, as losing consciousness he couldn't even think something. Both his body and mind is getting weaker.
"Sungho-ah," Wonjae starts to talk and reach Sungho, "Ah," But he then hears the same siren, making his body shiver in a in unfamiliar shake, and falls on the ground, next to Sungho's legs.
"Ah," He groans in pain, feeling his breath shortening, he couldn't breath, he doesn't know what to do. He never feels this way before, and he is hating it. He hates every second passes by at the moment.
'Is this called as death?' Wonjae thinks lastly, before he passed out, on the ground. All of them loses hope, for all of their lives.
And no one knows what is happening to the the teenagers. Either they know. It could be death. Or something, which is, unknown and dangerous.
