The voice sounded urgent. Maru, who was relaxing on his seat after drinking coffee first looked at the time. 10 minutes remained until the 5th period^[1]. He hung up on the phone and left through the back door. He climbed down the central stairs and arrived at the first floor before leaving through the left door of the building. He went past the cafeteria and headed towards the back of the school. He saw three people from the acting club there.

Before he even asked what was up, the distinct smell of oil-based paint tickled his nose. He frowned and approached the container. The first things he saw were the costumes colored in black and green. He also saw the despairing Daemyung, as well as the uneasy Jiyoon and Aram duo.

“I don’t think this was a result of a spill.”

Hearing his words, the three of them nodded. At that moment, Dowook and Bangjoo arrived at the container as well. Both of them were panting.

“Maru, you’re here.”

“Yeah.”

“Ha, shit. Bangjoo and I made rounds just to see if the fucker that did this was still nearby, but we came up with nothing.”

Maru nodded and first left the container. He was in there only for a brief moment but he felt dizzy already.

“For now, put those costumes in the container.”

“...Okay.”

Daemyung sighed as he did...
