✎ letter ten

                                    

                                          
Minho couldn't focus on that lesson. Kim Taehyung, the boy in the desk beside his, were constantly annoying him and talking none-stop. He was kind of thankful for it. If Taehyung hadn't been so Goddamn annoying he would've been thinking about the letters.
                          
"Minho, what do you think happens when a kangaroo jumps on a trampoline?" Taehyung asked, doodling on his desk. 
                          
"I don't know, now shut up." Minho groaned and hit his head on his desk.
                          
Taehyung just laughed at him and continued to rant about everything. Minho wondered how Taehyung could be so happy and cherish when two people had been murder. 
                          
"Do you prefer cats or dogs?" Taehyung asked and ran his fingers through Minho's hair.
                          
Minho inhaled and exhaled.
                          
"Cats. Leave me alone now." He answered.
                          
Taehyung gasped dramatically. He started to rant about why dogs were better than cats and Minho sighed. 
                          
Finally the bell rang and Minho hurried out of the classroom. He didn't come very long before someone stopped him. It was that boy, Minjae. He looked furious. If glares could kill Minho would've been dead.
                          
"It's your fault." Minjae said through gritted teeth.
                          
Minho took a step backwards. The boy might be small, but he was scary as hell. Tears started to stream down the younger boys cheeks, either from anger or sorrow. 
                          
"What's my fault?" Minho said, trying to keep calm.
                          
His heart was beating hard against his ribcage. People stopped by and looked at them. Minho didn't like it.
                          
"Its your fault she's dead!" Minjae yelled, his voice breaking.
                          
He rushed towards Minho. Minho thought Minjae would punch him, but the younger boy just fell into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
                          
Minho was taken aback, but he hugged Minjae hesitantly. The younger boy mumbled things while he cried. His body was shaking. 
                          
The people around them looked away like nothing was happening. They ignored the crying boy and Minho. But one person was still looking. Minho didn't notice though.
                          
Jisung stood in the end of the corridor, looking at the knife in his hands. His hands shook violently and he couldn't get a strong grip on the knife.
                          
He had to kill Minjae. Jisung's eyes watered and he ran away, he couldn't do it in front of Minho.

Minho had to listen to Taehyung ranting about ducks in his last period. It was annoying but also relieving. He didn't want to think of Minji or the letters.
                          
"By the way, where's Jisung anyway?" Taehyung suddenly said which made Minho stiffen.
                          
"How should I know?" Minho responded, trying to focus.
                          
"Well, you're close with him, aren't you? I heard from Jungkook that you two are dating..."
                          
"Well, Jungkook is talking shit!" 
                          
It became quiet in the classroom and everyone looked at Minho. Jungkook pouted.
                          
"No I don't!" He complained.
                          
That's how Minho got detention. Minho hates Mr. Kim for giving him detention for literally no reason. He had to stay one hour after the class. When Mr. Kim family let him go the schools hallways were empty. 
                          
Minho sighed and opened his locker. There was a letter in his locker, like expected. Minho didn't want to read it, but he did anyway.


                          
Hi Minho,
                          
I didn't want to do it. But I did it anyway. He forced me, just like he forced me to write this letter.
                          
He gave me instructions. If I don't follow them I'll die. He'll kill me, shoot me or choke me. Just like he did to the others. But Minjae, that was me. I didn't have a choice.
                          
Please forgive me Minho. It was his life or mine. Humans are selfish creatures, you have to understand that Minho.
                          
I'm sorry, 
                          
sincerely Jisung
