Chapter 7: End

S E V E N

Yeri took this chance to get up and go to a bathroom and lock herself. She took out her phone and called 119. Wendy was banging on the door as the phone rang.

"Hello, this 119. How may we help?" A woman said on the line.

"I'm getting murdered!" Yeri shouted, "There's a murderer in my house. One dead body too."

Yeri couldn't hear anything on the other line. But after what felt like centuries, the woman on the other side asked for the address and said they were on their way. Yeri looked at Wendy as she was about to cut the line. But this time, Wendy had the gun pointing at herself.

Yeri dropped her phone and shook her head, disagreeing. "No. No. Wendy! No, no, no--" But to no avail, she shot herself as Yeri screamed. The gunshot was so load.

Everything fell silent.

But only for a second, because when Wendy's fell on top of Yeri, her crying started again and this time it wasn't quiet; she almost lost her voice from shouting so loud. But after waiting for so long, the police and ambulance came along, and took her to the hospital and her parents came rushing in.

It all seemed like a blur.

POLICE RELEASE KIM YERIM'S STATEMENT FOR THE 'KOREAN ROULETTE' CASE.

27 December 2016, Han Jung Ah ─ On 20th of December, the nation and worldwide were shocked to learn about the death of four Korean girls.

According to the police, around 9 PM on 19th of December, 119 had received a call from Kim Yerim, stating that she would get killed. After reporting, her attacker killed herself as a way of escaping. The case, called 'Korean Roulette', has four victims -- Bae Joohyun, Kang Seulgi, Son Seungwan, Park Sooyoung, -- and the caller, Kim Yerim. Since then, no statements have been released except for last night, the Police released Yeri's statement and confession below:

"I'll sound like a idiot and a disgrace for this nation but I have to say it: we were playing Russian Roulette, to choose who would go after the guy we all loved. Intially it was Irene unnie's [Bae Joohyun] idea, and she had threatened us. But then Irene unnie didn't want to do it, but that's when Wendy unnie [Son Seungwan] stepped up and pressured us to play the game, as she was angry at Irene. Irene unnie had a gun with a silencer, and so we played. The first one dead was Seulgi unnie, and probably the most innocent. But she didn't shoot herself, she asked Wendy to do it, and she died. Irene unnie had offered to clean her body and let us four sleep. Seulgi unnie's body was kept in the fridge. The next night we went to the forest to bury her body, and the game was over, or that's what we thought. But then Joy unnie [Park Sooyoung] threatened to call the police if we didn't play. She ended up dying as she asked Irene unnie to shoot her and was buried alongside with Seulgi unnie. I was enraged because Joy unnie was my bestfriend. But during that time, Wendy unnie was the most sensible, and broke out our fight. But as the week past, she was probably in denial and blamed Irene unnie for the whole thing; resulting in Wendy unnie shooting Irene unnie. But it wasn't random; I told her we should do it fairly and continue the game, and we did; Irene unnie was still unlucky. Wendy unnie shot her with no regrets and made me watch it or else she said she would torture Irene unnie. I fought with Wendy unnie after that and managed to flee to the bathroom to call the police but as I talked to the police, Wendy unnie had realised that she was done for, and shot herself, and she fell on me. I had called the ambulance by then. And I am so sorry; to everyone. To the parents, to my parents, to Ha Min-sshi, who was too lovable. It isn't his fault; it's ours. Mine. I'm sorry."

Most of the Nation do believe her story and the Jury is planning on joining her Trial, while there will be a trial for Jung Ha Min; the man who made five girls fall for him, and he was dating Park Sooyoung during the timeline of the game but didn't bother checking up on her. He was found in the Sheraton Hotel in Seoul with an unidentified girl. He says he did not know the five girls were related and he says he is not guilty.

We will keep you updated.

JUNG HA MIN FOUND INNOCENT & KIM YERIM'S TRIAL DATE CONFIRMS TO 7 JANUARY, 2017 FOR THE 'KOREAN ROULETTE' CASE.

30 December 2016, Woo Ki Hyun ─ Jung Ha Min pleads innocent as trial ends. Read Kim Yerim's statement here. Her trial is on the 7th of January, regarding the Korean Roulette case.

▬

She sat in the defendant chair, Kim Yerim. Head down and gloomy; she had no more life to herself. All she could remember were the dead bodies, and Wendy's body falling on top of her.

She sees Jung Ha Min in the crowd, and looks at him apologetically. But she doesn't love him anymore. At all. She stopped liking him when Seulgi had died, but there was no way out.

The prosecutor has readied herself for asking Yerim her questions. And Yerim had been ready to answer; even if it put her in a bad position.

"Do you admit you were through the entire planning of this game?"

"No. I was forced to play."

"Why didn't you leave?"

"I was threatened not to."

"Did you kill anyone?"

"Not anyone but myself."

"Are you saying the truth when you say that you didn't kill Son Seungwan?"

"Yes. She shot herself."

"Do you regret it?"

"Yes."

"Do you think you are guilty?"

"Yes... I should have tried to stop it. I---"

Her defence attorney spoke up in range, "Honourable Judge!"

The judge looked at the prosecuter and ushered her to continue. She nodded and said, "That is all."

After a lot of discussion, it was time to decide.

The judge spoke, "The verdict will be given after some time. Everyone is dismissed."

THE END.
