Description

35-year-old Jeno is living the life of a law professor going for tenure with a loving wife and three kids. 

One day, he receives a letter asking him and his two other friends to go back to the boarding school he spent his high school years before a fire happened. One of the three would be able to inherit the school grounds if they answer a question and follow the given steps.

Haechan, Mark, and Jeno find themselves in a series of horrific events as they investigate the gruesome past of the Marcier Boarding School grounds specifically in the year 2000’s. The boys quickly realize that there are secrets to unravel, people to suspect, and a single question to answer.

Who?

The three boys crowded around the dusty box that was in front of them. Haechan looked over Jeno’s shoulder, the male finally opening it to see a a piece of paper.

One word. 

WHO?

Haechan frowned, lifting up another letter that needed to be read.

“Look, it’s a key.” Haechan said, Jeno lifting the paper in the air as Mark took the letter and scanned it. It was a golden key that shone in the spotlight.

“Who? Who what?”

“Maybe that’s what we have to find out.”

"It's the woman," Elliot, Jeno's son, piped up. Jeno turned to give him a concerned look. 

"What woman?" There wasn't a single woman other than his own wife that he saw on the school grounds. 

"The pretty one, Daddio! The woman woke me up!" the child said, beaming. "She smelly... like strong... strong... smell. She on the school golden wall! Lookie!"

Elliot had pointed to a lady that was on the wall, Jeno still shaken by the incident that happened prior and just grateful that his son wasn't hurt. Mark's eyes followed the child's finger, his heart dropping for a split second. 

"That's Byun Bora," Mark murmured, his eyes running over the very familiar face. "She's dead."

Chapter 6: saw the update at midnight & purposely didnt read till the morning coz i know my limits 😅

okay, firstly.. liz & sally???? hhhhshhh im wheezing i honestly thought there's a spirit other than the blue lady that roams the house & possessed liz for her to be acting so different 😅 i cant... they really are jeno&bunny's kids.

that dead body though. i sense a couple fight coming w jeno hiding it from bunny. imagine finding out you and your kids have been walking on floors that house a rotting body 😩 if i was bunny i'd throw a fit lolll but srsly w the way the blue lady isnt decaying yet then the murder has been recent? the murderer couldnt have ran that far at this point yet then loll

and man if B37 really is kyungsoo 😳 did he really escape the ward & went back to the school, tending to flowers & taking showers in locker rooms. i keep thinking abt jeno's dream.. heroes could be villains too & try to think abt how heroic each character has ever gotten (or could ever get) and now my head hurts lol

and poor renjun! he's being stalked & i dont want to think about the motive bc if i align it with the previous murders then he must have done something mean MEAN too? :(

lastly, helloo johnny & dana! my second fave couple after jeno&bunny. glad they made an appearance here.

thanks for the update. sending love to u!

Chapter 6: Finally got to read it! Here are my thoughts:
Renjun:
- He was 1000000% murdered. Reasons why I think that is because he was stalked. The video taken of him showering is evidence.
Song:
- Someone from 2000’s & 2005’s knows the song.
- Patient B37 taught the song to Patricia. B37 escape and taught Sally the song. B37 knows the maid, either learning it from the maid or taught the maid. Last is unlikely. I imagine her to be an old hag.
Sally + Liz:
- Nothing to say except HAHA
Bora:
- Quite impressive. She not only deals drugs but makes them. She would have made some ugly enemies if, let’s say, someone dies from her home made drugs.
Tapes:
- Can’t believe we’re only in Minseok’s tape and there are more to go. I wonder what else there is to unravel.

Thanks for writing! Before you say it, sending love to you too. 😂

Chapter 6: chaos chaotic chaotically chaotic 😭💀

snitches get stitches *stares @ older sister* hahaha okay 1st off, WTF to Liz n Sally. double WTF to Jeno n Bunny. i heard of switcharoos from a thai movie bt as a watcher i still could tell the difference???

ogies theory: so patricia sang the song AFTER the psychiatric ward and they said “he escaped”. jn/hc heard the maid singing. sally humming AFTER the garden. the HE is B37. The B37 is with them!

the B37 is connected with the school hence the “See yOu soon” note. kinda 4gahts abt that. theory is B37 is KYUNGSOO.

i’m out. thank u for another crazy chapter. bless bora and her sisterly heart.

Chapter 6: Bruh, I would not have guessed even if there were easter eggs loitered through out the whole story. Makes me wonder how identical twins can be. Shouldn't there be a mole or sumth above their lip? lmao? I like how we're slowly seeing the bad sides of the other characters. Feels like a decade since they went into the clock tower, Minseok's one coming up!
Slowly learning to look into the hints = B37? Kyungsoo is with them at the school?
Bora, my sweet girl, having to deal drugs to put her little brother to school. Minseok running to "tell headmaster" and hanging off a window ledge makes sense now.

Chapter 5: I caught up with the rest of chapters. I've got to say... THESE HIGHSCHOOL KIDS.
Why are they so aggressive? lmfao. If I ever met a Baek like this one, it wouldn't take long for him to make enemies. In school or out of school. The body of the maid threw me off. I think I expected her to already be dead? Long, long, time ago?
Thank you for such a intriguing story. The bravery of the characters (which I find idiotic. not to offend you. xD) to stay there. I guess thinking about Jeno and his money, Mark and his need to find out what happened to his brother, Haechan just being Haechan <-- he never really has a reason to be where the fun is. I have loads of questions that I will hold off on.
I commented about this before: I think either Jeno is losing touch with his kids or the school is changing him to make him think that he's slightly losing his mind. He's so suspicious of all the little deets. Yikessss :'(
See you next chapter. I promise to comment more!

Chapter 5: i just started this today and got to the latest chapter in no time. wow, your writing! i mean, no shock there as i'm a fan of your prior works but this actually gave me the chills. not helping also that the last scene is them finding the blue lady's dead body. wdym i'll have that image in my mind until the next update comes :(

first off, i'm happy to see the jeno-bunny couple here with their kids. it's interesting that even with a different genre, their personalities are still somewhat similar with that of your other works (which did i mention i really love). i missed that couple so much and the lil brats lizard, salamander & elephant.

and wow the story? and it's only been 4 days, i really feel like they've been doing it for longer. lots of eerie things happening, props to them for not leaving the place :( i would've packed my bags the moment elliot saw the blue lady the first time lolll

i'm excited with how the past will unfold. i also have my guesses but i prefer not to say it out loud because i'm bad at this lolll but is it possible there's more than one killer? okay i said i'll shut up sksksk but chanyeol & baekhyun were mean MEAN and they had it coming for them (though i have to admit the way they died is really brutal) and mark's brother!! seems like these are crimes of passion so if matthew was killed bc he did something mean MEAN too then i already feel sorry for mark :(

anww cant wait for the next updates! ;;;;
