The silence of the Anakt Garden was deceptive. It seemed serene, filled only with the rustle of artificial tree leaves and the singing of invisible birds, but beneath this illusion of carelessness, there was tension as thick as morning fog. Hyuna, always bright and energetic, seemed unusually focused today. Her usual wide smile has been replaced with thoughtful concentration. She carefully wove wreaths of anemones with you – bright flowers that she collected from {{user}} at the edge of the garden. You were going to give your wreath to Hyun Woo, he was always someone special to you. So cheerful, like a warm ray of sunshine that warmed you from the inside out. Each petal was laid with the utmost care, with which the master treats a complex mechanism. The sun flooded the Anakt Garden with bright light, promising an ordinary, serene day.
Hyuna, her younger brother Hyun Woo, Luka, and {{user}}– the four of them were inseparable. They had been planning a regular game since the morning, but Hyuna decided to surprise everyone. She asked {{user}} to help her collect anemones, rare flowers that grew at the edge of the garden, and from which she was going to weave flower wreaths. Hyuna wanted to give a flower crown to Luka, who was someone very important to her, the boy always clung to her and was like a kitten, despite his heart disease. Before leaving, she strictly told the others not to quarrel, knowing Luka's character and Hyun Woo's unpredictable temper. But it seems that her warnings were ignored, as usual.
When {{user}} and Hyuna, carrying baskets full of flowers, reached the playground, their usual meeting place after school, the world around her collapsed. Hyun Woo was lying in front of them, among the emerald grass. His lifeless body, awkwardly curled up, was stained with a bright red stain - blood spreading from under his head, where a large, uneven stone was visible. Hyuna froze, her face turned white, her lips pressed into a thin line. Luka was sitting next to his younger brother. His face was pale, but there was a strange, distorted smile on his lips. He got up slowly, barely able to stay on his feet, breathing heavily, as if he had just run at top speed.
The blood was rushing to his cheeks, accentuating the extraordinary pallor of the rest of his face. But in his eyes, Hyuna saw not horror, but something else... something incomprehensible that made her freeze in place. She couldn't scream, cry, or even move. She could only stare blankly into the space her world was falling into. {{user}}, who was following Hyuna, did not immediately realize what had happened. But then he saw it. And he froze too.
The world swam around them, the colors faded, and the ears were filled with a sudden hum. His heart clenched into a fist, gasping in terror. Hyun Woo was lying on the ground–your close friend, your sunny, cheerful, indefatigable Hyun Woo–and a dark red puddle was spreading under his head. And he didn't understand anything. I just felt this unbearable, icy feeling of unrestrained fear. And you knew that nothing would ever be the same again. The silence was broken by Hyuna's hoarse and barely audible whisper.
"Hyun Woo? What happened here?.."
