Chapter 4

F O U R

Silence.

Pure silence. No one dared to breath, or look. The silencer had really worked wonders. No one knew if Seulgi was dead; they didn't have the courage to know.

Wendy was the first one to open her eyes and look. And the moment she did, a strangled scream left her mouth as the gun dropped to the floor and the same hand found way to the mouth. Wendy had done it; she had killed Seulgi, her bestfriend. When the four heard her crying, they opened their eyes and their heart stopped.

"Y-You--" Yeri looked at Wendy and then at the lying figuring on the ground, blood oozing out from the forehead. "You killed her!" Yeri shouted and that's when Irene stood up, shaking.

"S-Stop screaming." She said, tears leaving her eyes, "Stop fucking screaming. We don't need the cops. It's 8 AM already. We need to clean this stuff."

Joy nodded, trying not to be as shocked. She knew this would happen, someone had to die. That was the game. She stood up and went to the kitchen to get some gloves. Irene hoisted Yeri up and took her to the bathroom. Wendy sat there, the gun beside her as she cried. She was going crazy. No, scratch that, she was crazy. She was questioning all her ethics and all the teachings she believed. But there was no use.

The moment she had forcely made everyone continue this fucked up game, was when she lost it. Even worse, when she planned the murder. For a guy.

For a guy.

An hour later, Wendy sat in the same place, still crying. She would not and could not get over the fact that she had become a murderer. Yeri, being the more naive and youngest, fell asleep forcefully so that her heart would stop hurting. Joy had been shocked and hadn't spoken one word, nor had she cried any tears. She just followed the directions of Irene and nodded to everything. Irene, on the other hand, was fine. Or at least, she was showing that she was fine. She made Joy clean the blood on the floor, and she cleaned up Seulgi. She took the gun too. She made sure not one trace of the four could be found in Seulgi.

Irene had a plan. And she needed everyone to follow it. She (surprisingly) comforted Wendy, and put her to sleep beside Yeri, and then cleaned the house with Joy. She even sent off Joy to another room, telling her to sleep so she could deal with Seulgi's dead body. After what seemed like centuries, the girl's woke up around 12.

They found Irene sitting on the couch with the daily newspaper in her hand. When she heard the footsteps, she turned around and smiled at them like nothing had happened that morning. "Good afternoon, guys." She said, in a total normal voice, causing all the girls to be shocked.

"Good?" Yeri scoffed, standing. "Are you fucking crazy? I'm leaving and I'm reporting this shit to the police." She glared at all of them.

Irene's eyes widened but then she grinned, "You wouldn't. It would get you in trouble too. You aren't a minor anymore, you idiot."

Yeri stopped in her tracks. She was already dead inside, now she didn't need the Police or her parents killing her more. She was already dead meat. She couldn't have more shit. She clenched her fists and turned around to face the three girls. "Do you have a plan?" She glared at Irene, forgetting all the formal speech and manners.

"Yes," Irene smiled, "But you need to follow it."

Joy spoke up, "What is it?"

"I have Seulgi's body in the fridge." Irene said, emotionlessly. All the girls were shocked that she could be so sanely insane. "I'm going to drop you three off to your apartments, and you guys cannot get out of the house before I come to pick you up."

"Pick us up?" Wendy questioned, uneasy.

"We'll bury her in the forest." Irene said, "All four of us. No one backs out. If you do, you get shot. No games. I'll drop you off, and you'll stay there. And no reporting to the police. At all. I'll pick you guys around 11 PM, and we'll do it together. Tell your parents you'll stay an extra day. Understood?"

Joy nodded in seconds. She was too scared to oppose. Weny and Yeri followed suit making Irene smile. "Get ready then, and clean your act. You aren't traumatised anymore." And with that, she got up and took the house keys.

Irene sat in the drivers seat as Wendy and Joy got into the car and waited for Yeri. It was really dark outside, so it was natural for people to not be around. She saw Yeri come out of the building in a hoodie and sweatpants, her hair in a tight ponytail. She started the car as Yeri got in the front passenger's seat, while Joy and Wendy sat in the back.

When they reached the forest, Irene quickly opened the trunk and took the dead body out, and the nasty smell wasn't too much, as it was in the fridge, stopping the decay of the body. Irene, Wendy and Yeri hoisted the sack and started walking deep into the forest. Luckily for them, there were paths paved and they followed that with a flashlight. Joy walked beside them with the shovels, which Irene had just bought that day.

They dumped the body beside them and started digging throught the ground they found suitable. Everyone thought it would end after this, so they worked hard on digging. Even in the crazy cold, they dug deep into the grounds and couldn't be happier when the body was in the ground, as inhumane as it was. And her parents wouldn't worry too; they don't live with her and Seulgi had wanted to do nothing with them. She was even thinking of getting separation orders.

After burying Seulgi's body, Wendy sat down and started crying; she gave up on the strong face everyone was showing. She needed to cry; or she'd go crazier than before. Yeri picked up a flower from around the place and planted above the dead body. Even Irene, the one who did all this, sat beside the two girls, and mourned; even if with a stoic face. She wanted to stop when she had fainted, but Wendy wanted to continue. It drove her insane, seeing all the blood and the dead body but she was the oldest and had to keep calm for everyone.

But there was Joy; somehow the most traumatised. She'd lost her parents before too, and seeing someone die infront her killed her. She was gone. Done for. Joy was probably the one who'd become the craziest.

Irene stood up and hoisted Wendy up. "Let's get going, it's getting colder." She said in a low voice; tired. Yeri agreed and took the shovels except for the one Joy was holding and the three had started walking, but noticed that Joy wasn't moving a bit. Irene turned around and looked annoyed, "Are you coming?"

"No." She looked at them, startling the girls. "Neither are you guys going."

Yeri looked at the girl, bewildered. "What the fuck? Are you crazy?"

Joy looked just as emotionless, "Yes. You guys come back and sit in a circle around Seulgi's body, and we continue the game. I have the extra two bullet's, and the other one being in the gun right now, in Irene's pocket."

Irene laughed, "I have the gun. And what if we say no?"

"First," Joy said, as she held the shovel tightly, "If you move, I'll kill you with this. If this doesn't scare you," She said as she pulled out her phone, tracing the 'signal' of the phone with her thumb. "I'll call the police. I'll confess. I have nothing to lose. I have no parents; no one to love. I don't give a fuck anymore. I'll go to jail but I'll take you guys with."
