i looked around desperately, hoping no one was actually keeping an eye on me secretly, just to be safe

everyone was doing what they should be doing

i slowly pulled myself up from the ground and tried to make a run for it

until someone pulled me by my collar

'may i ask you where you are going'

it was another guy

again

3 guys already stopped me from leaving which is ridiculous

and they talk about how i'm a human

i noticed on his shirt was attached a name label:

kim sunoo

that's strange. he's the guy i sit next to in chemistry and history

'uh, aren't you going to answer?'

'oh right, i wasn't going anywhere'

he sighed and picked up something behind him

'you must be thirsty, my lady'

'drink this'

he was offering me a glass of dark red liquid

it seemed a bit thick, the smell was rich but overpowering

my head was going a bit faint

it seemed like the drink was drawing me in almost; i wanted to drink every drop.

at first i assumed it was wine

'sorry, i don't drink'

'don't worry. it's only juice. cherry juice.'

'uhm okay'

he swiveled the glass around and held it up to my mouth

'drink it.'
