Statue of Love

"In every school, there will be a horror or ghost story circulating. I don't really believe in those supernatural stuffs until one night, because of a dare at the Statue of Love's feast, I was left in my school until midnight. One of the school horror story came alive right on my face. The legendary girl carved in a statue came alive on the school fountain. I ran away while screaming at the top of my lungs. Hoping that the school guards will come for an aid."

My name is Kim Taeyeon, a 21 year old girl living in the city of Seoul. I am currently studying in a prestigious 400 year old university with a high grades on my card. Being a college student is extremely hard and tiring, so I am really happy that I am graduating this year. Every last day of school semester, we celebrate a school feast called “Statue of Love” in honor of the school founder’s daughter. My friends and I had a game.

“Alright, listen up everybody! Since it's our last day on school, let's do something fun!” My friend Sunny said as she sat on the teacher's table in front of the class

“And what do you suggest?” Jessica said as she yawned and stretched her hands up. As usual, she just woke up from her sleep.

“Oh, Jessica. I didn't know that you're awake?” Sunny said amusedly

“Because you're too loud like Sooyoung. Gee, you girls are always together that you adopt each other's traits.” Jessica stated

“Yah, Cold Compress Pale Ice Pack! Who's loud are you talking about?!?” Sooyoung walked in the room angrily

“Oh, you Brown Walking Stick.” Jessica said

“Whatever,Yul and I are going to shop this week end. And you are not included!” Sooyoung retaliated

“Y-You can't do this to me! First, I should always be around and present in shopping and Second, you’re taking away my Kwon from me!” Jessica gulped

“How dare you say loud to my Sunshine and I?!? Sunny is cute and so am I!” Sooyoung replied

“Okay stop it, alright. Sunny, what's the plan?” my friend Hyoyeon asked

“Remember the school undying myth about the statue on the fountain?” Sunny smirked and grinned

“Yeah, Hwang Miyoung, the daughter of Mr.Hwang our school founder.” I said plainly

“Yah, Kim Taeyeon! That's not the best description for it. Stories circulating that the statue awakes every feast at exactly 12 o'clock in the midnight.” Sunny said excitedly

“Oh come on, that's a 400 year old myth. It has no basis and besides, those Hwang's are living in peace up in heaven right now.”I said

“It has basis! 400 years ago, Mr.Hwang’s daughter which is Hwang Miyoung just disappeared without any reason. It was said that she was cursed by her ex-lover for leaving him in the altar at the day of their marriage.” Sunny stated

“Yeah, it's a sad tale... It was said that Mr.Hwang did everything to preserve his daughter so that she will not be broken through out the war. The water in the fountain is sacred and magical. It makes his daughter indestructable and alive every 3rd week of September midnight which is now” Sooyoung said as she clapped her hands excitedly

“So what is your point now Sunny?” Hyoyeon asked

“Let's play a game. Losers will stay here at school until sunrise.” Sunny said excitedly

“I'm in!” Sooyoung said

“I-I think I'm going to the bathroom.” Jessica said as she stood up from her seat and was about to leave, but Sooyoung blocked her way

“Don't be a chicken Sica, it's our last day you know.Or let’s just say you’re afraid” Sooyoung

“I'm not afraid!” Jessica said

“Then join the game!” Sooyoung dared

“Fine!” Jessica went back to her seat

“I don't like this idea.” Hyoyeon was about to leave too but Sica prevented her

“Don't you dare leave that door Hyo or else!” Sica threatened Hyo

“O-Okay, I'm i-in” Hyoyeon nervously said

“I'm in.” I said plainly not really believing the story but just for fun, I agreed

Just in time, a girl entered the room.

“Yo guys, what did I missed?” it was Yuri

“You're in!” we all said in sync

“W-What?” she asked confusedly

“We'll go ghost hunting!” Sunny grinned

“Aaaa, u-uhm...I'm out of here, bye!” Yuri was about to leave again but Jessica stood up and pulled her ears.

“You're not going anywhere Kwon!” she threatened Yuri

“O-Of course Sica...Of course.” Yuri said nervously

(^^♪(^^♪(^^♪

We joined school game fest, tug of war. We were divided into two teams; Sunny, Sooyoung and Hyoyeon vs Me, Jessica and Yuri. We started the fight.

“Okay, loser team will stay until sunrise here at school. Got it?” Sunny said as she smirked and held the right side of the rope

“Don't worry, we’ll win!” Jessica said as she gripped the other side

“Don't fool yourself Sica, you're so sleepy all the time, I bet you are right now that you can't even have a strength against us!” Sooyoung mocked her as she stood behind Sunny and gripped the rope

“Well, I have Kwon Yuri! She's an athlete.”

“Yeah, and besides...you only have two midgets on your team!” Yuri defended Sica as she positioned herself behind Sica and grab the rope

“How dare you Kwon! You have the smallest dwarf on your team too!” Sunny retaliate

“You're so right Sunny!” Hyoyeon agreed, she's right behind Sooyoung

“Yah! Who's the dwarf you are talking about?! I’m taller than you! You guys will lose!” I assured them as I went behind Yuri

“Let's just see!” Sooyoung said

The game started, we were in the left side and they were on the right side. The referee started the game

“In 3, 2, 1 go! “ We heard the whistle as the signal of the start

We pulled the rope with all our might, looks like we're winning. Ha! Sorry folks.

But happened when somebody cheered for Yuri

“Go Yuri!” a girl named Yoona cheered for Yuri.

Yuri looked at her and shouted

“Thank you Yoong!”

Jessica looked back and glared at Yuri

“Yah, Kwon! How dare you talk to your ex?!”

“What the fu% guys! We're losing!!!” I said in panic

The right team made their last pull that made us go towards the red line as a result, our team fell on the ground ,we lost.

“Ouch!” I winced in pain

“Yah, you Kwon. Get off me!” Sica complained because Yuri just landed on her back due to the pull of the rope

“Sorry” Yuri stood up and help Sica

“Right team wins!” the referee declared

“Whooohooo!” they cheered and hugged each other

“Urgh! Seriously guys?!” I complained

“This is all your fault!” Sica glared at Yuri

“Why... It was Yoona's!” Yuri retorted

“Whatever guys, we're going to stay here at school till sunrise...I'm going to miss watching Big Bang's performance” I cried inwardly

I really like T.O.P. and Taeyang... Urgh, no live streaming for me tonight.

Yoona went towards us

“Need a hand, Taeyeon?” Yoona offered help for me to stand up

“Yes, thank you” I grabbed her hand

“Hello Yuri!” she greeted Yuri

“H-Hi.” Yuri blushed

Sica smacked Yuri's head

“Ouch!”

“Hehe, don't worry Sica. Yuri is all yours!” Yoona chuckled

“Oh, how can I be sure?” Jessica still shooting daggers at Yuri

“Yoona!” A girl called her

“Oh, Ju Hyun. Come here!”

“Meet Ju Hyun...” Yoona put her arms around Ju Hyun and kissed her cheeks

“H-Hi.” Sica embarassly said

The right team end their cheer and went toward us

“Told you guys, will win!” Sunny smirked

“I-I'm not staying...” Sica said nervously

“Yah, Sica you chicken!” Sooyoung

“I'm not a chicken, nor scared!” Jessica defended herself

“Then prove it!” Hyoyeon dared

“Alright, I promised I'll stay here till sunrise.” Jessica said

“U-Uhm, Sica...I-I'm going to the b-bathroom for a while. Bye!” Yuri made her escaped But Sica pulled her ears.

“Yah, Kwon. You'll stay if I stay!”

“O-Okay...I-I'll stay...” Yuri nervously said

“Oh, Yoona. You're here... And this is?” Hyoyeon asked

“Seo Ju Hyun.” The girl smiled at Hyoyeon

“Aaaaw, cute!”

“Yah, Hyoyeon. Hands off! She's mine” Yoona glared at Hyoyeon

“Okay? Haha. Want to join the left team? They'll stay here at school til midnight.”

“U-Uhm...I-I'd rather not.” Yoona shook hear head

“Well, want to come with us instead? We're going to a distant club!” Sooyoung offered

“Sure, but if only Ju Hyun wants to.” Yoona worriedly looked at Ju Hyun

“It's okay Yoona. I'll go with you” Ju hyun smiled

“Okay, let's go clubbing!” Sunny cheered

“Yah! How dare you guys go to club without me?!” Sica complained

“Well, losers stay here til sunrise!”

( ´∀`)( ´∀`)( ´∀`)( ´∀`)

Every feast, the school get's cleared before 10pm. Because a lot of students are afraid that the myth will come true. They believe it's true because a lot of eye witnesses had said it's true so no one really go in front of the fountain because they are afraid of the statue. The tug of war is the last game of the feast so as expected, 10 is nearing , so students and including our dearest professors scram outside the school. Even the school guards locked their guard house.

“Okay, we'll take our leave now. Enjoy your stay!” Sunny winked at us and dragged Sooyoung with her

“We'll visit you guys tomorrow at sunrise!"  Sooyoung said

“Call us when you need anything, okay?” Hyoyeon bid her good bye and joined Sunny and Sooyoung.

“Take care guys!” Yoona said as she and Ju Hyun followed the others

“Urgh! So what now?” I said to Sica and Yuri who brought out their flash lights with them

“Well, it's only 10pm. Let's roam around the school lot.” Yuri suggested

“Eh, I'm tired. Let's sit first on that bench.” Sica said

“Okay.” I said

An hour and a half had passed, we played on our phones for a while.

“Aaaa, this is totally boring! Thank you Lord for the phone...” I said as I played Anipang on my phone

“Yeah, I'm starting to doubt the myth. It's already 11:30 pm and I feel nothing supernatural.” Sica said

“Because the myth said 12 am pabo!” Yuri chuckled

“Yah, Kwon Yuri. How dare you call me Pabo?!”

“Hehe, sorry Sica”

“I'm sleepy, let's find a vacant room and sleep.” Sica yawned

(^o^)丿(^o^)丿(^o^)丿

We went inside the department of arts to find some vacant room. Sica and Yuri decided to sleep for a while, while me, I keep playing games on my phone until the battery runs out.

“Damn!” I said in frustration

“Ding” The school clock tower sounded, it means the clock struck at twelve

I heard something outside the building so I decided to check it out. I saw a very bright light emitted on the school legendary fountain. I went closer to it and stood in front of it. One of the school horror story came alive right on my face. The legendary girl carved in a statue came alive on the school fountain.

The statue became a human being in flesh. The legendary girl stretched her arm and speaks.

“Aaaaah...it feels so great to move again!” she said to herself, while me, I'm still watching in awe and speechless.

She noticed me standing in front of her, completely frozen on my spot.

“Oh, hi there!” she wave her hands and greet me

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

“Wait!”

I ran away while screaming at the top of my lungs. Hoping that the school guards will come for an aid. I ran so fast and accidentally bumped at the newly awake Kwon Yuri who's busy rubbing her eyes.

“Why so noisy dwarf?” Yuri said as she yawned

“TTTT-THE...STATUE...IS WALKING!” I said while panting

“WHAT?! Hahaha! Kim Taeyeon, please talk coherently and in comprehensive manner.” Yuri chuckled and shook her head

“THE STATUE!!!”

“Okay, what?”

“THE FU#&% STATUE IS ALIVE!!!” I said in terror

“Hahaha. Save your prank to someone else okay?” Yuri continued to laugh

Then, I saw the alive statue in flesh at the back of Yuri. My eyes widen in terror.

“Y-Yuri...Run!” I said in horror

“Yeah Yeah, whatever.” she continued to laugh

“Oh, another person in here. Hi there!” The alive statue who shines in a golden aura said to Yuri.

Yuri looked back and greeted the girl quickly “Yeah, hi!” then faced me again.

“Wow, that girl kinda look like
