Summary
Entry One
24 October 1987
They all said I was strange from the start. I’m starting to think they’re right.
Everyone in this town grew up knowing Kim Seungmin would kill someone one day.
Seungmin had always known that, in a way, he was different from other kids. He didn’t find much joy in activities like playing at the playground, or knocking on his neighbor’s doors before running off like his friends always wanted to do. He had always preferred to stay in the attic of his house, finding spiders to kill and to watch die a slow, painful death.
He felt a sick pleasure in watching it panic and attempt to skitter around to escape, a pleasure in knowing he had more control over its life than it did.
In which the murder of beloved classmate, Lee Jia, and the disappearance of Jeongin’s best friend, Park Ye-Jun, are enough to put the town in suspicion with just one question: Who did it?

authors note :: ngl there won’t be an epilogue. also im very embarrassed of this work so don’t expect much—i was genuinely writing each chapter at like 2 am so it’s kinda bad

Summary
“Hmm, you’re good at school, right?”
Adam wasn’t sure he was ‘good’ at school, he hated the place most of the time. The schedule and teachers were alright, it was the people, the other students, that were the problem. “I get good grades,” he decided on, “Mainly science and math. Why?”
“I’m failing.”
“Oh.”
This was the problem with other students.
“I’m sorry?,” he tried awkwardly when Nigel eyed him with and expectant look. Adam stared right back, or well, at the perimeter of his left ear.
“I’m not giving you any answers,” said Adam finally after a few moments of silence and he watched Nigel raise his brows in response.
“No, Raki, I want you to help me study.”
Now it was Adam’s turn to look at him in shock.
____________________It's somewhere in the mid 80s and Nigel is about to fail his senior year of high school when he thinks up a wicked plan: The outcast nerd needs something from him and he can get what he wants in return. Little do they know they discover something new about themselves entirely... (Somewhat fluffy high-school romance)
Please read the notes on chapter one, there will be many but they are important!!!!
