Chapter Four
~ In which Jongin proves he’s stupid ~

Jongin liked to think he was not as stupid as his friends seem to think he was — he has pretty good grades after all. But at the moment, he couldn’t help but berate himself for confronting an obviously dangerous alien in public. He really should have escaped when he had the chance. It’s too late now.

The alien girl stopped when they reached a fairly secluded area in the school, somewhere even he hasn’t went into yet. It was a creepy hallway closed off from sunlight and has occasionally flickering light bulbs.
