Jay:
I couldn't sleep last night. My thoughts kept racing in my head. Is that even possible? How can a person play the violin for twelve straight hours?
Ugh… my head hurts badly. My hands feel numb too. I'm going to the swimming pool to calm myself down a bit. Luckily, this strange school has an elevator. Otherwise, going up and down from the eighth floor would've reduced my weight by ten kilos.
Anyway, let's get into the elevator quickly. I was getting bored in the room. Suzanna and Fumi are so busy with their makeup and looks that they don't even notice I'm there. And Sun has been busy on the phone with someone since morning.
Oh… I completely forgot! There's another person in our team. Though calling it a "person" feels wrong—more like a ghost. Why does someone need to make such a creepy face all the time? Can't he smile even once? (thinking)
The elevator stopped on the fourth floor. Two boys rushed in and pressed the button for the twelfth floor.
Jay: H-Hey! I'm going down. Why did you press the twelfth floor?
Jay (thinking): Strange! Am I invisible or something? They're not even paying attention to me. One is typing at lightning speed on his phone, and the other is staring at a paper like a statue. Idiots!
Jay: Excuse me! Excuse me!
Jay (thinking): They're not even looking! I feel like punching one of them and breaking his nose. Yeah… only in my imagination! Haha! Funny, Jay!
Jay reached out to press a button, but the boy beside her placed his hand over the panel.
Jay (thinking): Okay, now you have to talk. This is getting ridiculous. Such mannerless people! I need to teach them a lesson!
Jay: Listen! I entered the elevator first. So I'll go to the ground floor first. After that, you can go wherever you want.
Jay (thinking): W-What?! They didn't even turn around? Am I really invisible?
The elevator doors opened. The two boys immediately ran out.
Jay (thinking): What's their hurry? Wait… this is the twelfth floor? But the building only goes up to eleven floors! How did this exist?
Jay quietly followed them.
The two boys entered a room. On the door, it was written: "King's Place."
Jay (thinking): What? There's a king here too? Wow! Who knows how many more strange things I'll see in this weird school.

Inside the room
Juhan was sitting on a sofa with one leg crossed over the other. The two boys sat on the sofa in front of him, breathing heavily.
Juhan: I told you to kill him instant. Didn't you listen to me? Now suffer the consequences.
Seojan: Aren't you worried at all? How are you sitting so calmly?
Juhan: Sorry, bro. Juhan doesn't get worried—he becomes the reason for worry.
Jin: So what's the plan?
Juhan was about to speak when he sensed a sound outside the door. He signaled them to stay quiet and slowly moved toward the door.
Juhan: I'm sure someone's outside.(thinking)
As soon as he pulled the door inward, Jay almost fell—but Juhan caught her. Jay had been listening at the door. She looked at Juhan with terrified eyes. Juhan stared back at her. Neither of them expected this.
Seojan and Jin were shocked to see them like that. Jay tried to run, but Juhan grabbed both her hands.
Juhan: A spy? Huh?
Jay: Let me go! I'm not a spy!
Suzan: Hey, she's that girl.
Juhan: You know her?
Jin: She was with us in the elevator.
Jay (thinking): Wow! So they did see me? I thought they were blind!
Jay: Let me go, please. I came here by mistake.
Juhan: Shut up! Who sent you?
Jay: Please let me go. Don't kill me. Please. I didn't do anything.
Juhan: How are we supposed to believe you're not a spy?
Jay: I don't know anything. Please let me go. Sun! Save me!
Jay looked like she was about to cry. Juhan noticed and smirked.
Juhan: Then tell me—how did you end up here?
Jay: Those two were in a big hurry, so I followed them out of curiosity.
Juhan: So sad. Once someone enters the King's Palace, they can never be back again.
Jay: I promise I'll never come here again. I promise!
Juhan loosened his grip on purpose. Jay took the chance and ran.
Juhan (shouting): Wherever you go, I'll find you!
Then he started laughing.
Jin: Why did you let her go?
Juhan: She's just a kid. She can't be a spy. But from now on—we'll be careful.
