Chapter Text
apparently, a new student was coming to school.
people were so obnoxiously loud about it that the council president, choi jiwoo, even heard about it.
being curious wasn't like her, so why did she feel so tempted to investigate this new student so much?
at the start, jiwoo didn’t care much about carmen.
”nyoman ayu carmenita… what’s so interesting about you that you make people speak up so much...?”
she thought as she let her eyes follow carmen moving across the room after introducing herself.
then, their eyes met.
jiwoo kept her unreadable gaze intact, carmen only having this slight amusement in hers.
”what an interesting girl…”
she mutters to herself, eyes still following carmen until the girl sat down on the far left the of the room.
once carmen was comfortably seated, their professor continued the lesson.
after classes, jiwoo immediately went to the principal’s office, her steps quick and light as she moved.
“principal lee, do you think I could get the new student’s records? just so I can also keep records of her.” jiwoo spoke, voice usually stern as she looks at the principal, not even having an ounce of fear in her eyes as she asked for a student’s records.
“carmenita’s records? sure, I can give them to you tomorrow in due time.” the principal spoke, nodding as he looked up from his laptop, the screen showing he was already revising and clarifying carmen’s files.
when tomorrow finally came, jiwoo heads straight to the principal’s office, wanting to grab carmen’s files immediately to study her even more deeply.
last night, jiwoo was already searching up carmen’s socials, finding out carmen has a pub named after her owned by her parents, that the girl was famous as she was basically a star online with her baking tutorials.
“principal lee, the files? are they ready?” jiwoo spoke, softly panting as she practically ran over to the office to grab carmen’s files, running a hand through her hair, trying to fix her disheveled appearance.
“the files are ready, here they are.” principal lee hands her the files, jiwoo grabbing them a little too excitedly, a small smile appearing on her face before she schools her expression back into her usual indifferent face.
“thank you, sir.” jiwoo bows with a polite smile before she turns and leaves the principal’s office.
once outside, she practically bolts to the student council office, a wicked smile appearing on her face as she does so, a laugh coming out of her throat from sheer thrill.
inside the office, jiwoo pants as she practically jumped to her seat, dropping and looking at the folder of carmen’s files for a bit, smiling widely as she looked at her new prey’s id picture clipped on the corner of the folder.
"she looks so beautiful..."
she thought to herself, chuckling for a bit before she moves her hand, the extremity trembling as the reached for the edge of the folder, finally cracking it open.
inside, it was filled with carmen’s personal files, jiwoo was smiling so much, she looks like a wolf who has caught her prey completely alone and utterly hers.
within the folder; she sees carmen’s address in bali, where she lives as of now, her number, her birthday, her age, everything all about the girl.
jiwoo smiles even more widely, a flush coating her cheeks in sheer thrill from what she was doing.
she reads through carmen’s file, that predatory smile still on her face as she read and read about carmen’s personal details.
she knew her address now; she can visit her secretly, in the dark where no one can see her.
then, jiwoo opens the locked drawer in her desk—
what shows was a premium camera and tons of pictures of other girls jiwoo has found interesting enough to follow their life.
but now, this… new prey of hers has caught her attention, caught her eye so much that she wanted to burn all these photos of the other girls and just keep carmen’s inside of the drawer.
she shakes her head, a small chuckle coming out of her throat, wiping away the sweat she didn’t know was already beading up on her forehead.
she takes her camera out, changing the sd card of it with a fresh one.
then—
she snaps a picture of carmen’s personal file; her details caught in the lenses as jiwoo smiled.
oh, this was going to be a fun chase. maybe even the chase of her life.
