Suspicion

    __—— Previous Chapter ——__

I woke up by someone screaming.

I opened our tent and woke the rest up.

We all walked to where the screaming came from.

When we came there we saw a dead body tied up in a tree.

__—— Present ——__

We called the police after what we saw.

As we waited for the police to arrive.

I checked to see if Lisa have read my message, because we texted her the address, but no she didn't read it yet.

Now I felt like going back.

I told Minjae and the rest that I felt like going back and that Lisa haven't read my message yet.

"How about we wait till the school begins? She may have ruined her phone," Jungkook said.

I agreed waiting for the school to begin.

"But for now we need to wait for the police to come, we are one of the witnesses," Chanyeol said.

Everyone nods.

   __—— 10 minutes later ——__

The police came and asked us some questions, and we told them everything we heard and saw.

Then the police said "thank you for helping our investigation.

This was the only witness for the murder that happened a few days ago, but now she is dead".

Everyone was shocked and felt pity forwards the victims.

"Shall we go back down to the town?" Jimin said.

Everyone agreed and walked back to the city.

__—— Monday 7:45 am at school ——__

I came to the school and was greeted by some students.

I went into my classroom to see no Lisa here.

I asked my classmates if they have seen her.

And no they haven't.

Then I saw Seongjun come in.

I asked him, "have you seen Lisa? She were going to meet with us at the camping but she never came and she isn't here now either, since you two are close I thought maybe you would know."

"No I haven't seen her," he said.

Everyone sat down at their seats when the teacher came in.

"Where is Lisa?" The teacher asked.

No one answered.

   __—— 20 minutes later ——__

The lesson was done and everyone walked their ways.

But I stopped our teacher Mr.Kim and said that I need to tell him something important.

"About Lisa..," I said hesitating whether to tell him or not.

"What about her?" He asked curiously.

"Me and my friends was going camping to the woods and Lisa was going with us, but she never came.

We thought we will wait till the school start.

But she isn't here either.

We sent her a message to, but she never saw it and that's very odd, because she always answers me," I said almost starting to cry, but tried holding it in.

Mr.Kim comforted me.

"Let's go to my office and talk."

I walked with him to his office.

We sat down, when we came to the office.

And then he asked "what do you think happened to her?" I tried to think hard of what would of happened.

But then something crossed my mind. "Lisa and the new student Seongjun are already dating, don't you think that's weird?," I said a bit confused at the fact that they are dating already.

"I am a bit suspicious of Seongjun. I don't know if he's a good or bad guy, so I feel like something happened between them," I said to Mr.Kim.

He understood what I said, and said "I'll try talking to Seongjun, to see if he knows anything," Mr.Kim said.

I thanked him and said "I will go visit her mom to see if she knows anything."

We both agreed to help find her.

I walked to Lisa's house, and ringed the door bell.

Her mom opened the door and she didn't look great. She had dark circles around her eyes as if she haven't slept, and teary eyes.

"May I come in?" I asked a bit worried about both of them.

She opened the door for me.

I sat down on their sofa.

It was silence the hole time so I decided to break the silence.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

She looked down at her lap.

"Is it because of Lisa?" I asked curious.

She nods.

"May I ask if you know anything about where she is?"

"I really don't know where she is. She only said that she is going camping with you guys," she said as she cried.

"I am really sorry for what happened," I said as I cried with her.

I hugged her hoping to cheer her a bit up.

She hugged back.

"I am sorry to say this, but i have talked to our teacher about what happened, and he will contact the police to put up a missing person case," I said wiping my tears away.

"Thank you, Kristina. I really appreciate your help," she said hugging me again.

I smiled and hugged her back.

I walked back to the classroom and saw pictures at the wall 'Missing person -Lisa- a student at Seoul High School. 18 years old, if anyone finds her call ********.' is what said on the paper and a picture of her.

I saw flowers on her desk, and letter saying 'please come back Lisa, we miss you.'

I wrote one too and put it on her desk.

Tears falls from my eyes. My friends patted my shoulder and tried to calm me down.

Lisa is my best friend since we were born. She means all to me, and now that she has gone missing I am feeling very down.

But I will find her no matter what.

The teacher came and said "our kind and beautiful girl Lisa has gone missing, we all hope she will come back," everyone had a worried look on their faces and someone cried.

I expected Seongjun to cry too, since they where together, but I just saw an expressionless face.

I was a bit shocked.

How can someone not be worried about a missing person, even Lisa is his girlfriend.

How?.

Doesn't he have any emotions?

Did he kidnap her?

Many questions was in my mind.

Then two police officers came in the classroom probably to talk about the case.

"You all have heard about the missing case.

We have some thoughts that it's related to the murder case that happened a few days ago.

We might be wrong but it's our job to be suspicious." The police officers said.

"We will now take one and one out of the classroom to ask questions," we will start with you, he said as he pointed at a student.

__—— 10 minutes later ——__

Now it's my turn to go.

I walked with the two police officers down the hallway and sat down on the chair that was in the room.

"Do you know anything about what might have happened to her?" The policeman asked.

I answered "me and my friends where going to meet at a place because we where going to go camping, but lisa never came.

We tried waiting for the school to start again, since it was the weekend, but she never came.

I have heard with her mom, but she doesn't know either," i said almost starting to cry, but held it in.

They understood what I said and kept asking questions until he asked this "are there any people you know that you are suspicious of?"

The first thing that came to my mind was Seongjun.

I hesitated whether to say it or not.

But 'I think it's the best if I say it, it may help me find Lisa.' I thought.

"I think Seongjun is suspicious," I said straight forward.

"Why do you think so?" They asked a bit of hope to maybe find the kidnapper.

"He's a new student. Lisa and him are dating, but the thing is that they only knew each other for one day.

How can someone start dating so fast?"

I said still shocked at that fact.

"But one thing..." I said hesitating whether to say it or not. They looked at me curiously.

"Seongjun has a s-scar on h-his left h-hand, and I-is l-left handed.

I heard the news about the murder being left handed and that stuff," I said a bit scared.

They were shocked to hear my confession.

"He will be the next and the last to be questioned, so don't worry.

You can go back now," he said.

I did as he said and walked back to the classroom.

"How did it go?" Huijun asked me curiously.

"I will say it later, I am not feeling well," I said as i laid my forehead in my palm.

"Seongjun you are next."

...

Hope you enjoyed this one too.
