Smoke in Accident

A THING TO FIGHT

 

 

 

 

—————Flashback—————

 

 

“Yoobin.. be a good kid. Will you?”

 

That adult man smile warmly to the seven years old kid who just can blink her eyes blankly before she turn her head to her parents bedroom. Staring at the figure that still on the bed. Sleeping.

 

“Papa not gonna tell mama?”

 

“Ahh.. I don’t have a heart to wake her up. Your mama just arrived a moment ago. Let her rest”

 

That mature man turn his head to the side, staring at the figure inside the bedroom lovingly makes that young kid staring at him with an innocent gaze. Not really get what he meant by his words. But she doesn’t even have the chance to ask as that man quickly leave after plant a kiss on her forehead and rubbed her hair full of affection.

 

“See you in three months, little panda!”

 

That man, wave happily to his daughter who just can staring at him through the window glass. There’s a slight of sadness in her eyes when she see her father drive away. But she just hold her tears back since he ask her to be a good kid. And a good kid never cry.

 

“Mama?”

 

The word escape from her lips, automatically once she found the glass that been on her mother grip suddenly slipped, and fall to the floor immediately. Left her staring at it for awhile before she move her gaze just to found her mother fearful face. With tears stream all over.

 

“Mama-“

 

“Yoobin, come here..”

 

That woman called her name out. Asking her to go near, and that kid just obey her as she get down from the white sofa and walk closer to that woman. Received a tight hug a second later. Even before she got really closer, that woman quickly rush towards her. Kneel down and wrapped her arms onto her. Burying her face on that kid neck, whispering and sobbing.

 

“I love you, Yoobin..” 

 

The voice sounds shaking, hardly. Even she can feel her mother body also shaking so hard, but she can’t understand why. She doesn’t have a idea, even though the hint is probably very clear on that big slim screen tv. She still can’t understand, even after she found her father photo on the tv, along with the headline news that says,

Plane Accident. 

She still can’t understand what just happened. 

 

“Mama, there’s Dr. Oh come again today-“ 

 

“Didn’t you understand the meaning of never ever get into here! You ! Get out!”

 

That woman shout at her angrily and throw the bottle of beer right towards her. It even land on her head perfectly. Makes her tossed her head forcefully to the side until the bottle hit the floor. Leave a little pieces of it cut her skin. 

 

“Yoobin, come with me..”

 

“But, papa wants me to be a good kid. And a good kid never leave home without a permission” 

 

“But..”

 

That man doesn’t continue his words, as he just let his lips apart. Staring at that little girl with a pathetic gaze in his eyes. Cutting his heart when he found a lot of bruises on that girl body, also some scratches and cuts on her arms and legs. 

 

“Well, then come with me to study. A good kid always study right? I can help you, and I think you need treatment”

 

“But-“ 

 

“No but. Come with me. You want to be a good kid right? A good kid should be a smart kid too, you know? I’m gonna teach you!”

 

That eight years old kid smile brightly to that seven years old kid who just can blink blankly before she realized she was being taken, and dragged into the car that drive to the big fancy house. Leaving her amazed by how beautiful that house is as she still being dragged by that eight years old kid who happily get into the house while the man walk behind them. 

 

“Hayoung? You bring a friend?”

 

Yoobin lift her head to where that voice coming from. Found there’s another adult man standing on the stairs, staring down at her and that young eight years old kid which is Hayoung who smile brightly to him.

 

“Yes, sir! She wants to be a good kid! And a good kid should be smart, you know?”

 

She said that cheerfully. But strange, Yoobin can notice there’s something off slightly in that man eyes as his eyes drift to her. Staring at her from head to toe, just to makes a frown visible on his face. But before Yoobin can notice it, that man already move his gaze. Probably asking the man behind those kids through his gaze as he notice, Yoobin’s condition.

 

“Hayoung-ah, how many times I should tell you to call me just by uncle?”

 

“But it’s disrespectful, Mr. Kim..”

 

That man chuckle slightly, climbing down the stairs as he got the signal from the other man that will explain the situation soon makes him slowly walk towards those kids and rubbed the older kid hair playfully.

 

“You listen to your father better than me, huh?”

 

“That’s the rules, Mr. Kim”

 

That eight years old kid sounds so innocent with her words makes that man laugh over her pure cuteness before he start to mess with the girl hair, who just can shut her eyes as she enjoys it. 

 

“Well, then who is this pretty little girl here? What’s your name sweetheart?” 

 

That man bent down a bit, just to match his height with Yoobin who just can blink her eyes as that man smile warmly to her. Makes her feel shy for a moment before she opens . Ready to reveal her name to that man. 


“My name is Yoobin.. Lee Yoobin..” 

  

 —————

 

“Mama! Let me in! Mama!!”

 

That innocent kid slam on the door helplessly. Knock on her own house, crying in fear as she shout to her mother inside. Begging her to let her in. But it never come makes her give up eventually and fall to the ground, crying as her body shaking so hard. Trying to deal with the fear and feeling she can’t understand in her chest.

 

“I’ll be a good kid, Mama.. I promise..”

 

She told herself in despair as she hug herself. Let the tears rolling down on her cheeks and fall to the ground as she curled down there.

 

“Papa..”

  

—————

  

“Dr. Lee? Open the door.. Dr. Lee?? ... Yoobin?? You inside??” 


That man from the other day, come again to her house. Knock on the door just like any other day even before he brought Yoobin to that fancy big house that makes Yoobin can’t even enter her own house afterwards. She can’t understand why. And she is too scared to find out why. So she decided to hide behind the wall, and take a peek at that man who sigh heavily and leave the house no longer after he got no answer from inside.

 

‘I’m sorry, Dr. Oh..’ 

 

She said that inside her mind as she watch that man get inside his car and drive away, leaving the little Yoobin there. Feeling her eyes start to getting hot, once she lean helplessly on the wall and slide down. Start to crying for how many times right now.

 

“Mama..” 


“Where is your mama?”

 

That unfamiliar voice suddenly can be heard by Yoobin. Makes her startled at her spot and fall to the ground once she found there’s a girl that seems like older than her by a few years standing not far from her. And what makes Yoobin surprise is, there’s a blood on that girl shirt. Immediately makes Yoobin staring at her in fear, while that girl just staring emptily at her. 

 

“I ask you.. where’s your mama?”

 

That voice sounds so cold in Yoobin’s ears. Definitely makes her scared to answer. But the most scary thing from that girl is absolutely her empty cold gaze that Yoobin found frightening.

 

“Hey-“ 

 

“I-inside t-the h-h-house..” 


“Inside the house?” 

 

Yoobin nod after that girl words. Hesitantly staring at her, still in fear while that girl slowly lift her head. Staring at the house from side to side before her gaze move back to Yoobin. 

 

“Then.. why you here?”

 

“M-mama not l-let me in..” 

 

“Why?”

 

“C-cause I’m a bad kid..” 


Yoobin bite her lower lip hardly, just after that words escape from her lips. Makes her eyes suddenly getting hot again, but she force herself to not cry as that girl staring at her. Still with that cold gaze until Yoobin can notice that girl suddenly lift the side of her lips, staring at the house behind her. 

 

“Well.. actually.. I think you’re not the one who is bad. Your mama is”

 

————— 

 

Heavy breath filled the room, the blood aroma spreading all over the house as that little girl slit the throat of that woman deeply with a tiny knife on her hand. Pull it a second later just to stab it many times on that woman helpless body that already felt so cold.

 

“Are you satisfied?”

 

Her hand stop in the air. Just after she heard that voice get into her ears, makes her slowly turn her head to the side. Staring at that girl who just standing there, casually. Along with that cold and empty gaze. The same gaze Yoobin found when she met that girl on that early morning. 

 

“Well..” 

 

Her voice cracked up, along with tears streaming down all over her face. But all of these, looks so contrast with the gaze she has on her eyes, and the way she pull the side of her lips up makes it more contrast as she swing the tiny knife again and again to that woman body. Stab the body, hardly in frustration and despair. Pain, and sadness. 

But strangely..

 

“Is it weird that I enjoyed it?

 

 ————— 

 

“Where have you been?” 


That adult man, walk towards that little girl in hurry. While Yoobin who follows the girl behind just stay silent as she drift her gaze to staring at that man. Scanning him.

 

“Playing..”

 

That girl in front of her lightly said as she throw a lighter and a cigarette box towards that man who quickly catch it. Just to stare at it in disbelief before he move his gaze to that girl who just walk passed him casually. Definitely ignored his presence and it makes him kinda offended by that kid bad behavior.

 

“YA! LEE-“

 

“Ah, yeah. Oh Jiho, tell boss we have a new member..” 


“Geez! This kid, at least can you show me some respect-“

 

“Anyway, what is your name?”

 

That little girl again cut that man words, makes him definitely widened his eyes in disbelief before he send her a glare. But it doesn’t even affect that girl, as she just staring at Yoobin who has her head down. Thinking for awhile, suddenly recall some memories in her head before she lift her head a second later. Staring at that girl, with the gaze that she never had on her eyes before.

 
That empty, frightening, cold gaze. 


“Call me Dami..”

 

————— 

 

“You know you shouldn’t go against him, uncle Oh..”

 

That man chuckle lightly, as he grab his wounded arm. Prohibit more blood to escape from his body. Meanwhile that girl just standing there, staring emptily at him.

 

“Well, you will never understand Yoobin.. you have no feeling.. at least for now-“

 

“For us, feeling is our biggest weakness. And I don’t need that”

 

She said that cold and smoothly. But strangely, that man found it kinda funny in his ears as he start to laugh makes that girl raised one of her eyebrows. Found the sight kinda weird. But that man just continue his laugh before he curve a wide smirk on his face. Staring at Dami with a mocking gaze.

 

“Tell Yoobin.. I always curious.. What is the meaning behind Dami?”

 

That man let out these words, perfectly from his lips. The unexpected question to her that makes that girl suddenly feel kinda taken aback by the question. But she still play it cool, even though she knows the man definitely notice the change on her. But she just shrugged it off. Along with these memories that suddenly come across her mind. 


“It’s none of your business..”

 

She said that, cold, and clear makes him curve a tiny smile on his face. Found something that he always find on her. The thing she hard to find on others. But even though like that, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t there. It’s there, but got covered.
The difference is, it’s easy to find on that girl. Compare to the others.

 
The thing that forbidden for them. The thing that they try to deny so hard. The thing that makes her not kill him right away. It’s because of that thing.

 

————— 


“Just so you know Yoobin.. whatever happened.. you can always come and find me..”

 

That girl wash her hand on the washroom sink. Staring at the blood that slowly mixed with the clear water that coming from the faucet and let her mind fly to what happened earlier before she leave that man to her boss and others people that she knows. Also to that two certain girls.

 

“Dami! You done? It’s the time!” 

 

She can heard the voice coming from the outside, along with the sounds that definitely come from the door that being pushed by that tall girl, just to peek inside the washroom. Found Dami staring back at her through the mirror.

 

“Ya! What are you doing?! We should be hurry!” 

 

“Geez, can you calm a bit Minkyung?” 

 

“Call me Roa! You little!”

 

That tall girl opens the door more widely just to reveal her whole self to Dami that just can rolled her eyes as she dry her hand with a tissue and throw it immediately to the trash can. Before she walk closer to that tall girl, and walk pass her while fix her round glasses. Leaving that girl staring at her in disbelief after heard the words that coming so smoothly from her lips 


“Let’s go giraffe. Or else we will late for our graduation ceremony”


“Ya!! You little panda!!” 

 

That tall girl quickly stepped away from the washroom just to catching up with that short girl who just ignored her as she start to complain about what the latter just said. But still that short girl not even care with her until that tall girl decided to shut immediately. Once they entered their university hall and just glare at that short girl. Which is still not even care with her. Makes her feel annoyed until the ceremony started.

Well, they’re gonna make up soon tho.

 

————— 

 

“We should take a picture!” 


“Well, okay..” 


“Geez! Not a selfie!” 


“Then?” 

 

Dami staring at her tall friend in confused as she raised one of her eyebrows. Watching that girl that turn her head around just to scanning her surroundings. Hoping there’s someone that can take a picture of them. 


“Geez.. everyone is busy..” 


“Well, I can go ask Jaejoong if you want” 


Dami raised her hand in shoulder height, point out her thumb to a man who standing not far behind them. Talking with some people around. And mostly of them are women. A usual sight for Dami and Roa. For sure. 


“I wonder how lucky you are.. have such a handsome foster father who took care after you. He even a police. What a father goals”


“Well yeah, sure..” 


Dami shrugged her shoulders, like she doesn’t even care with what her friend had said. Makes Roa glare at her immediately in annoyed. 


“Sigh.. you never feel grateful with your life, huh? At least try to call him by father. It will makes him happy.. instead of call him by his name”

 

“Trust me.. it’s easier this way” 

 

Roa rolled her eyes, once she heard that coming out from Dami lips perfectly until she suddenly catch a familiar figure in the crowd, seems confused looking for someone. Notice who that figure is, a smile slowly curved on Roa’s face as she patted Dami’s shoulders and pointed out the person with her index finger makes Dami immediately following it. Found that tiny girl in the crowd, along with unfamiliar faces around her. Seems confused, and clueless looking for someone.

As that tiny girl, it’s the only one that familiar to Dami. She just can nod her head giving a response to Roa who quickly excuse herself to approach them, especially that tiny girl. Which is Roa’s girlfriend. 

 

“Wait here, I’m gonna ask Rena to take a picture of us”

 

Roa immediately step away after she said that to Dami who just can watch her tall friend approaching her girlfriend and her friends, leaving Dami behind who just can curve a tiny smile on her face once she notice Roa point out her finger towards her. Along with those unfamiliar gaze that absolutely on her afterward.

 

————— 


“You seems like have a good friends..”

 

That voice echoed in the entire car just after Dami get inside and took a seat beside the driver. Glancing slightly to that guy who have a warm smile on his face as he start to drive the car away. Leaving Dami’s university.

 

“You promised me I will have my own apartment once I graduate”


“Well, yeah. And I keep my promise. You know we might be bad. But we’re a promise keeper..” 

 

That guy state calmly as he focus on the road while Dami just lean her head on the window car beside her. Not really interesting with anything around her, until that guy suddenly handed her a light brown envelope that makes her just can staring at it emptily. Absolutely know what inside the envelope.

 

“Make it like an accident. You’re an expert in this, right?” 


That frightening smile suddenly appeared on that guy face, after those words coming out smoothly from his lips. Makes Dami just can glance at him for a second before she open the envelope, found there’s some photos inside. Along with a lighter and a cigarette box.

 

————— 

 

“A house fire in Gangnam area, Seoul, killed twelve people on Monday. A 45 year old successful business man, and 35 year old woman died in the building, a younger sister and brother also the rest later in the hospital” 


“Oh, that guy..” 

 

It escaped from Roa’s lips, as she lift her head. Staring at the slim tv that placed on the edge of the waiting room in the hospital while they are wait for someone to come. Meanwhile on her side, there’s Dami who seems not even interest with the news that still shows the photo of a man and some victims which are definitely familiar to her.

Until.. 

 

“Based on the confession of a nurse, she said one of the victims mentioned that there was a girl who sneaked into the house and made the house burn and trapped everyone inside”

 

“Wait, what?” 


Roa seems confused by what the reporter said makes her immediately raised one of her eyebrows. Fail to notice the person who sit right beside her suddenly frozen on her spot as she slowly turn her head. Staring at the tv with a unreadable look in her eyes. 

 

“However, based on police investigations. This accident came from a gas leak that caused a large explosion afterwards. Makes it difficult for everyone to save themselves from this incident and inhale too much smoke” 


And no longer after those words, the reporter immediately ended it report and switch to another news that happened the whole week. Leaving Roa and Dami staring at it with such a very contrast expression draw on their faces. 


“Well, at least.. you can’t truly trust the victim. They might be imagined something, feel traumatic after the incident and create a fake memories in their mind without they even realize..”

 

Roa state confidently as she observed the news she just watched. Pull her own personal conclusion as she lean on her chair, cross her arms on her chest. Feel kinda tired of waiting. 

 

“Well, you think so?”

 

“Of course.. it’s normal anyway..” 

 

Roa shrugged her shoulders while she said that. Absolutely give Dami a response without even took a glance towards that short black haired girl who quietly have a smirk on her face before it suddenly disappeared once she heard a footsteps that sounds in hurry approaching them. And just after she lift her head, she can find there’s a tall girl in front of her. Looks so exhausted as she try so hard to manage her own breath, along with a sweat rolling down on her forehead.
Confused by the sight, Dami just can raised one of her eyebrows before her gaze catch the name tag of that tall girl. Immediately makes her frozen for the second time on her seat.

 
Once she recognized the name.

 

‘Oh Hayoung..’

 

—————

 

“Yoobin..” 


That old man looks hard to believe with what he see as he just sit on his chair. Staring at Dami with an unreadable look while Dami just staring back at him. Not knowing what to do, and not knowing what to feel. Since she can’t feel anything. And she doesn’t know what feel she should fake at this moment when that man slowly get up from his seat. Open his arms and pull Dami to his embrace. Give Dami such a warm hug. But little did he know, that warm hug he give to Dami.

Doesn’t even affect that girl, even a little bit. 

 

“So this police adopted you after you’ve been in orphanage for such a few years”

 

“Yeah..” 


“Why you don’t come to find me?”

 

“I don’t know where to go” 


Dami state calmly, but somehow it sounds kinda cold in that old man ears as he immediately lift his head. Give Dami a unreadable look that Dami absolutely notice. But she just shrugged it off as that old man slowly curved a tiny smile on his face while he sometimes took a glance on the paper in his hand. Dami’s profile.

 

“I always tried to looking for you after the incident, Yoobin-ah. But I was clueless, I always blame myself to not be able to save your mother and you.. I’m really sorry” 


That old man looks very guilty as he try so hard to control himself. But Dami can notice how shaking his hand is, holding the paper while avoiding an eye contact with Dami.

 

“.. It’s not your fault” 


Dami finally speak, staring at that old man right into his eyes makes that old man can’t help but staring back once he notice there’s a slight glow he find in those eyes. The same glow he found in seven years old Dami. But it just slightly, before it suddenly disappeared and replaced by the gaze that he never find on her. The gaze that makes him, somehow feel like he doesn’t even know who is this girl that sitting right across him.

 
It feels like, he face a stranger right now.

 

“Whatever happened, happened”

 

 ————— 


“I’m happy to see you, Yoobin..”

  

“Thank God, you’re okay..”

 

“Your parents gonna proud of you.. you’re a good kid”

 

“Young Dr. Lee”

 

“Let me guess. You’re still upset..” 


That man state. Shake his head slowly as he standing there, watching that short black haired girl step outside the car that he knows it’s not hers with a cigarette between her lips.


“At least I’m helping that policeman to clean some trash..” 


She said that calmly as she take the cigarette off of her lips and throw it to the ground. Step on it a second before she pull a cigarette box from her pocket along with a lighter. 

Light her another cigarette of that night. 


“Well, Jaejoong must be very thankful. At least you make it looks like they have such a gunfire over each other..” 


She glance to that man slightly, once those words escape from his lips. Makes her just inhale some smoke and let out some puff to the air, recall what happened a few moments ago. Until she ended up in this car dumps place. 


“That’s what happen when accident met suicide..” 

 

She state calmly. Makes that man immediately turn his head towards her. Raised one of his eyebrows before he let out a small chuckle over her words.
Absolutely understand what that girl means by ‘Accident’ and ‘Suicide’.

 

“Well.. indeed..”

 

That man walk closer to the car, observing that car carefully until he reach the trunk that placed in the back of that car. Open it immediately just to found there’s a lot of plastic bag inside. And in one glance, that man can see what inside each plastic bag that makes him raised one of his eyebrows this time when he notice each of plastic bag seems manage by it’s kind.
Well, one plastic bag full of eyes. One plastic bag full of ears. And so on. 


“She join you this time, huh? Seems like she really bored”

 

That man state as he still has his gaze on those plastic bag. Checking it one by one, meanwhile that girl just smoke her cigarette as that man mention that certain girl that she knows as the most dangerous girl among them. 

Well maybe among the girls she ever knew. 


“Yeah, she was.. you know I’m not gonna cut my own preys body like that. It waste of time”

 

“Well, she just did it when she really bored anyway.. that crazy kid never change..”

 

That man shake her head slowly as he slam the trunk closed, meanwhile that girl just glancing at him slightly before she take a seat on the old sofa near her and let out some puffs to the air while resting her head back. Letting that man doing his job, crushing that car until there’s no remains of it. And burned it in another moment makes her suddenly remember something when she see the fire eat that car down. 

 

“Uncle Oh?”

 

“Hm?”

 

That man turn towards her, as he cross his arms on his chest. Before he turn himself back again. Facing the car that slowly burned by the fire. 


“I always wonder why boss not kill you yet?”

 

Those words escape from her lips smoothly, makes that man slowly turn again to face her. Giving that girl a confused gaze before he curved a tiny smile on his face. Back facing that girl once again. 

 

“I’ll tell you.. if you tell me the meaning behind Dami”

 

He sounds like he wants to at that moment. But she doesn’t really care as she lean back on the sofa, resting her head on top of sofa. Lift her head, staring at the blue night sky that filled with stars. Let her mind fly to the time when DAMI name first existed. 

 

“DAM?“


That adult man frown once he takes a peek on his daughter drawing. Just to found there’s a big letters DAM above her drawing, that he knows should be him, and his wife. Also his daughter in the middle of them. 


“It stands for Daddy And Mommy”

That cute five years old kid state cheerfully to his father, as she lift her head. Staring at his father with a glowing eyes makes that adult man just can raised one of his eyebrows. Feels kinda confused but amazed somehow.

 

“O..kay..”

 

That adult man slowly lay beside his daughter who continues her drawing diligently, and carefully write letter by letter above that DAM word until it form an I Love You sentence, makes that adult man can’t help but smile sweetly as he found it kinda touch his heart also funny since his daughter looks so cute when she became too focus.

 

“Done!”

 

That cute kid grin happily as she change her position, and sit on the floor. Bring her drawing to the air, admiring her own draw makes that adult man curved a tiny smile on his face before he notice something is missing.

 

“Where’s Yoobin?”

 

That kid quickly turn her head to the side. Frown can be seen on her face as she look at her father in confused,

 

“Huh?”


She tilted her head to the side cutely makes her father smile warmly to her. Slowly change his position and sit beside that little girl, bring her up to his lap and caressing her hair lovingly as he pointed out to the drawing

 

“It just Daddy And Mommy.. where’s Yoobin? Yoobin not loving Yoobin’s self?”

 

Her father state calmly, but it’s kinda hard to that little girl to catch the meaning behind what he try to say. And it seems like her father finally notice it as he cracked in laugh a second later and ruffled that little girl hair. Messing it a bit.

 

“Okay.. let’s put a ‘I’ letter here.. okay?”

 

That adult man points out to the space beside the M letter and tap it gently, makes that little girl automatically follow his finger until frown seems be more visible on her face as she look up to his father with a questioning look.

 

“Why ‘I’ ?”

 

She ask innocently makes that adult man smile warmly to her and bring his hand to pinch her chubby cheek softly as he chuckled towards his daughter.

 

“Because.. ‘I’ stand for yourself. Without Lee Yoobin.. this family never be complete..”

 

He state brightly, makes that little girl just can blink her eyes. Feels so confused, and hard to understand at this moment as she just curled her brows. Try to understand what her father means, but it’s hard for her and it makes her father laugh again before her mom suddenly show up and father about how lame his words is

 

“Your papa has no jam, Yoobin-ah..”

 

“Ya! You just don’t understand! Yoobin-ah, don’t listen to your mama. She just jealous..”

 

“What?!”

 

That little girl blink her eyes blankly. Confused as her father quickly placed her, back on the floor and run to the kitchen while her mom followed him immediately. Shout and complaining about what he just said. And even from the living room, that little girl can hear her parents start to bickering towards each other. Leaving her alone in the living room, with her drawing and some pencils, also color pencils spreading all over the floor.

Glancing to her drawing slightly, she quickly grab her color pencil and write on her drawing before she smile in proud. Bring her drawing to the air once again, and sprint to the kitchen. Found her parents still bickering playfully. But once they notice her, they immediately stop just to smile warmly to her as she lift up her drawing and shout cutely.

 

“I Love You, DAMI”

 

“What a mess sentence..”

 

“What you expected from a five years old kid?”

 

That man laugh over her words, as he walk closer to that girl and placed his palm on her head. Rubbed her hair a little.

 

“It’s so you, Yoobin”


That man state teasingly makes that girl quickly slapped his hand away, and staring at him with a cold gaze as she inhale some smoke from her cigarette once again.

 

“Your turn..”

 

He curved a tiny smile on his face. Found that girl still curious with the fact that their boss not kill him yet. But the fact behind it also sounds so simple and not really a big news. It just..

 

“Because I’m still useful even after what happened..”

 

It just that simple.

 

 

—————Flashback End—————

 


She opens her eyes slowly. Letting her eyes meet darkness as she immediately knows her head has definitely inside a bag once she find it hard to breath. Makes her just stay silent for awhile. Giving the time for her sense to gaining back until she finally notice her hands are handcuffed. Ignored her head that start to feel dizzy, and the smell of blood that immediately get into her sense.

She is in danger.

 

“How are you, Yoobin?”

 

That voice echoed in the entire room just after she can feel someone pull the bag off of her head. Forcing her to get used to the light in the room, once it hit her eyes. Makes her blinking for a several times until she notice there’s someone sitting across her. An old man, that wipe his golf stick with a white handkerchief. And also that guy which is in police uniform, standing right beside her.

 

“Have a good nap?”


That old man let out his voice once again to the air, as he staring at his shining golf stick in satisfied. While that girl just can staring at him with a dim gaze. Notice blood dripping through the wound on her head, also the edge of her lips, and her nose as she lowered her head. Staring at her hands that handcuffed on the table that be one with the table.

They’re still fine.

But not for too long.


“You know why you here, right?”

 

That voice once again echoed in the room, as he play with the golf stick in his hand. Swing it, cutting the air before it landed perfectly right on that girl fingers. Especially her little finger, makes her immediately groan in pain. Clenched her fist. Avoiding the pain to come again. But what she got next is worse than the pain she felt on her fingers as she can feel that hard thing hit the side of her head. Tossed her head forcefully to the side. Makes her immediately lose her balance on the chair and almost fall to the floor. But before she can hit the floor, she can feel her arms seems like hold her whole body in the air. As the handcuff, helps her body to hanging and stay on her seat before she can feel someone pull her hair roughly. Force herself to face the front. Letting her exhausted gaze meets that cold frightening gaze of that old man who looks unhappy yet unimpressed.

 

“Look, Yoobin.. I don’t know what you’re doing.. but I’ve seen enough for this whole week. So, I’m gonna let you go after this. But..”

 

That old man hanging his words in the air as he tighten his grip on that girl’s hair. Pull that poor girl closer to him. Force that girl to face him while he keep his straight face, staring at that girl worse condition. But strangely a second later, that smile suddenly appeared on his face.


“Kill them in three days. Then bring the two to me”

 

—————

 

“I can’t find them..”

 

“Keep looking..”

 

“Minji knows about this..”

 

“Bora too..”


“Do your job then.. and Changmin, keep looking. And you too Hayoung..”

That sounds so cold in the others ears, as they suddenly become quiet. Notice that girl voice sounds so flat with a raindrops as a back sounds through their each phone. Finding that girl not even used honorific on them.


“Yes. Ms..”


They said in unison, give a respectful yet polite response to that girl who just ignored it as she immediately ended the call and put her hand beside herself. Staring at that burned building, with a lot of police around, along with citizens that crowded near the building. Watch the fireman take care of the fire with the help of rain that slowly pour to the ground.

 

‘Major explosion in AG apartment’

 

“..”

 

—————

 

“Sua calm down-“

 

“Calm down? You asked me to calm down at this moment when she is nowhere? No. I can’t”

 

That small girl rush to grab her jacket along with her car key. Ignore that guy who still trying hard to stop her. But unfortunately, she already decided it as she fastened her steps to the front door leaving that guy who just can staring at her back in frustration and disbelief as he quickly followed her. But later, he can feel a hand on his wrist makes him immediately turn around just to found the other girl standing behind him.

Talk to him through her gaze.

 

“! He told me to calm down?! Handong is nowhere and he told me to calm down?!!”

 

That small girl walk faster to her car. Press the button on her key to unlocking it before she quickly grab the hanger and get inside. Ignore how quick she get wet by the rains as she put a black mask on her face along with a black baseball cap while her other hand press the button to start the engine of the car. The same time she suddenly heard a sound from her side. Found that girl opens the passenger door of her car. Get inside in any second, makes her just staring at that girl in confused yet annoyed.

 

“What are you doing here?”

 

She let her voice out. Echoed inside her car, as she staring at that girl. While that girl staring at nowhere outside.

 

“You need someone to be with you”

 

“What? You think I can’t take care of myself? You just gonna burden me if-“

 

She cut her own words as she realized what she going to say makes her shut her lips a second later. Groan in annoyed. Rather choose to grab the wheel, switch on the gear and drive the car away from the mansion. Leaving that guy by himself inside the mansion. Staring at the car that slowly getting away through the window.

“I’ll go with her.. you do what you supposed to do”

 

“What?”

 

He staring at that girl in confused. Not really get what she means by her words. But that girl just staring at him with an unreadable gaze before she curved a tiny smile on her face that somehow frightening.

 

“Someone needs to protect her, right?”

 

“!”

 

That guy grab his head in frustration as he let out a rough breath. Try to calm himself once he notice he start to become anxious about the situation he has to facing at this exact moment. Making him groan loudly in desperate, before he quickly walk to his laptop. Once again try to find that certain blonde girl along with the other blonde girl that suddenly is nowhere to be found after the explosion in the apartment.

There’s no clue left.

 

“Where are you, Handong-ah..”

 

—————

 

“Cancel the meeting”


“What? Minji, you are not supposed to do that! Don’t let this affect y-“

 

“HANDONG IS NOWHERE! CANCEL THE MEETING!”

 

That black haired girl shout in anger to her bodyguard who feels kinda taken aback by the sudden risen on her tone of voice. Found that girl looks like a mess with teary eyes, also slight of fear and worry in her eyes as she run her fingers through her hair. Try to manage her breath that becomes unstable as she walk away from her desk. Close her eyes tight, try to deal with her shaking body.

 

“But.. Minji, they are already he-“

 

“I’ll go talk to them..”

 

That coming from that silver haired girl out of sudden makes him immediately turn his head to the side. Finding that girl quickly walk towards the door, leaving the two inside the room as that guy staring at her before she lost behind the door. Definitely let that guy alone with that black haired girl who just can stay silent, standing on her spot while shut her eyes. Try to stay calm.

 

“What? Minji, you are not supposed to do that! Don’t let this affect y-“

 

“But.. Minji, they are already he-“

 

‘Minji..’

 

“Minji..”

 

“Wait for me.. okay?”

 

She gasped out of surprise. Heard those voices inside her head out of sudden. Found her heartbeat beating too fast along with some images that suddenly come across her mind. That weird strange image of a girl giving another girl with a red hair a necklace.
But unfortunately, she can’t see the face of that red haired girl.

And yet..

 

‘That necklace.. looks familiar..’

 

“Are you okay Miss?”

 

She snapped from her thought immediately. Once she heard that unfamiliar voice get into her ears. But somehow she also found that voice sounds familiar along with that guy face as he staring at her in wonder. But she just shrugged it off as she run her fingers through her silver hair, just to notice she is kinda sweating.

 

“I’m fine sir, thanks for asking..”

 

She bowed politely to that guy, who just can staring at her. Kinda observed her with his sharp gaze before it suddenly change to the normal gaze as he smile to that girl once she lift herself.

 

“Okay. Then I take my leave. Say my greetings to Ms. Kim..”

 

“Yes sir. Once again, I apologize about this unexpected situation”

 

She bowed politely once again, while saying those words out of her lips. Not noticing that guy slowly lift the side of his lips before he pull something from his suit pocket and placed that small paper on the table near them.

 

“Well, something happened with her cousin anyway. What can we do?”

 

That guy said that casually as he immediately turn and walk away, followed by his bodyguards. Leaving that silver haired girl who just can widened her eyes as she froze on her spot. Slowly lifting herself just to staring at that guy back which is immediately lost from her sight in any second later. Definitely leaving this company and her as she can notice the paper that placed by that guy on the table.

An address.

“YooPhoto Studio?”

 

—————

 

“! ! ! !!”

 

That blonde girl in doctor coat swear under her breath, grabbing her hair and pull it in frustration. Harden her jaw, while moving her gaze nowhere. Try to think about any possibility with where that certain blonde girls could be as she tighten her grip on her phone.
But there’s none. She can’t find them. Even just one of them. She still can’t. She had been call every single hospital in Seoul. But there’s none and that start to makes her scared. Along with her mind that slowly filled by a negative thought.

Well ..

There’s a explosion in apartment. Where’s that two blonde girls be. What she can expected at this situation when she can’t even find one of them?

 

“Unnie! You know Dami’s apartment is-“

 

“I know, Minkyung.. calm down”

 

She state tiredly, once she turn her head to that another tall girl who just break into her room. Looks breathless and panicked out of sudden. Judging from the look, she can tell that another girl just got the information meanwhile she been know the information since awhile ago as she recall what happened before. When the girl name suddenly appear on her phone.

 

“Check Han Dong name and Lee Yoobin in the hospital..”

 

She frozen on her spot once she received the call from the other as she heard the other explain the situation. Makes her quickly sprinted out of her room just in the same time when her name suddenly echoed in the speaker of the hospital.

 

“Is all the victims are here?”


“Yes, Doc”

 

She can feel her hand start to shaking as she staring at papers in her hand. Read every single name on it carefully again and again. Try to find the name of the two. But even though she try, there’s none.

 

“Anything wrong doc?”


“No.. there’s none-“

 

“Hayoung-unnie? What happened he-“

 

“Minkyung! Take the lead! I have something important to do”

 

She immediately push those papers on that another tall girl chest. Just to earn a confused look from the other. While she just shrugged it off, walking faster to her room while pulling her phone out. Immediately make a voice call with that other girl and the rest.

 

“There’s none”

 

She breath out heavily. Open the door of her room and push it slightly. Step inside and immediately close the door behind,

“Have you check another hospital?”

 

“Well, the nurse said all the victims was brought to this hospital. But let me check it first”

 

She ended the call, leaving the others while she quickly scrolled through her contact. Looking for number of Doctors from the other hospitals and call them one by one. Just to found her effort was not lead her to any results.

 

“I can’t find them..”

 

“Keep looking..”

 

That voice suddenly can be heard through her phone as she connects to the voice call again. Giving the other some updates, but she was not expected this response from that girl as her voice sounds so cold. And somehow it sends a chill down her spine.

 

“Minji knows about this..”


“Bora too..”

 

Those voices can be heard in another second later, makes her quickly collect herself again. Ignore the thought that suddenly come across her mind just because she notice how different the other girl tone of voice out of sudden. And somehow it scared her.

 

“Do your job then.. and Changmin, keep looking. And you too Hayoung..”
 

It was unexpected. At least for her as she can heard that so clearly in her ear. Hoping she just heard it wrong. But it’s impossible at this moment and her ear wouldn’t play trick on her.
Not now.

 

“Yes.. Miss..”

 

She said it, almost without she notice it. But fortunately, she said that in the same time as the others, who also said the same exact words as her. Giving the other girl their response before they can notice the other girl suddenly disconnected from their call. Leaving the three of them by their self. Until that voice break up the silence, says the words that keep wondering inside her mind. Also probably the other too.

 

“Is she gonna turn to the Kim.. again?”


“Can you tell me what is going on with Dami?”

 

That voice suddenly pulls her back from her thought. Found that tall girl standing right beside her. Staring at her with that unreadable gaze that somehow looks demanding.

 

“There’s nothing I can tell you.. I don’t even know where she is right-“

 

“That’s not what I mean”

 

That tall girl quickly cut her words. Makes her who just run her fingers through her hair immediately stop her move midway. Turn her head to face that girl, as she found that girl gaze perfectly on her.

 

“A few months ago. You and Dami seems cold towards each other. And almost two months ago.. Dami suddenly disappeared. Two weeks ago, she showed up. Asking me so many questions, like she had been lost her memories and all.. then now, there’s an explosion in her apartment. And she is disappearing again.. and you act strange.. seriously, what happened unnie?”

 

That tall girl seems done with her, as she can notice the desperation in that girl voice. Triggered her memory to fly to that certain moment a few months ago..

Recall another memories from the back of her mind..

 

“You can do it, right?”

 

“Brainwashed? It’s not that hard. Anyway who you want to brainwash? I need to now..”

 

That small girl just lift the side of her lips, heard that coming from that blonde haired doctor. But she’s not even give the latter any response as she immediately get up from her seat. Ready to leave that Doctor room without saying anything, makes that Doctor just can staring at her in confused before her phone suddenly vibrate. Received a message. Definitely from that small girl who just walk out of her room.


“Yoobin..”
 

She feel something stuck in as her eyes meet with that short black haired girl who just staring back at her emptily. Siting on the chair that placed kinda far from her with those unfamiliar faces around.


“What is happening here? You said we gonna brainwash the one who killed your dad? But what is this?? Why she’s here??”

 

She turn her head to the side. Quickly, staring at that small girl who siting on one of the chair inside the dark cafe with two mans around her. While she pointing her index finger towards that short black haired girl, with her gaze perfectly on that small girl. Begging her to explain through her gaze. But that small girl just glance slightly to her, until she can notice the way those eyes suddenly move. Staring at someone between the others who siting and standing not far from them. Escaping a few words that immediately makes the doctor can’t feel her knees a second later.


“WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU?! WHAT THE HECK YOU DID?!”

 

She rush and grab that other doctor collar shirt. Roughly, makes that doctor who is a year younger than her just can staring at her emptily while she staring at the latter with a sharp gaze once she get inside the room, found that girl siting on her desk before she coming and pulled her by her shirt.

 

“You lucky I didn’t end her life yet..”

 

“What did you say? YOU !”

 

She can’t hold her anger anymore, makes her quickly swing her clenched fist to that other doctor face. But unfortunately, it doesn’t goes like what she wants as she can feel her hand being twisted before her face landed on the desk so hard. Along with that cold iron pressed on her neck.

 

“Can you at least be grateful? This deal sounds so stupid already”

 

“You’re stupid than this stupid deal! You such a b-“

 

“DOCTOR LEE YOOBIN.. PLEASE COME TO THE SURGERY ROOM”

 

Those words suddenly echoed in the entire room. Cut her words as she no longer felt that cold iron on her neck, just to realize if that cold iron was a pen as she watch that other doctor placed that pen on her white coat pocket and walk away casually. Leaving her by herself.

 

“How can this happen?”


“That Nick betrayed us. And those guys follow him. that guy!”

 

“But lucky they blocked them. That’s why we can escape..”

 

“They?”

 

She raised one of her eyebrows. Confused by what just coming from that guy who flinched a bit as she treat his wound.

 

“Those girls. She ask them for helped”

  

It’s coming from the other guy, as he bite his lower lips. Feel the pain on his arms. Meanwhile that doctor just can staring at him in confused, before she move her gaze. Staring at that small girl who seems like comfort the three other girls who looks mentally unstable siting on the couch.

 

“You are the one who protect her, right?”

 

It coming so smoothly from her lips as she glance slightly to her side. Found that short black haired doctor girl pressed some button on the vending machine, before she bent down. Taking a can of soda from it. Open it immediately.

 

“Don’t get us wrong. We just don’t like it when there’s someone try to touch our target before us..”

 

“But still, you protect her.. you even save-“

  

“About that rescue.. we just don’t want the one who makes a deal with us die. It’s the same case.. we just don’t like outsiders touch our target. And she already be our target tho, since the very first time she made a deal with us..”

 

“But-“

 

“Just don’t get us wrong, Hayoung-unnie”


She shut immediately. Just after that other doctor turn her gaze towards her. Staring at her with that strange gaze she unfamiliar with.

 

“And stop calling me Yoobin. I’m not that Yoobin anymore. Now I’m Dami..”

 

She feel something heavy on her chest out of sudden just after those words escape from that other doctor lips. Smoothly as she walk away, leaving her behind just like before.

 

“You sure you want to put this as your fake memories?”

 

“Yeah”

 

That short black haired girl said shortly. Makes that girl just can lift her head. Staring at her for a few seconds before she lowered her head again. Staring at the paper that write by the latter.
The fake memories that based on her true past. Just a little bit different as the latter write down that her parents was die in plane accident. While the fact is, it just her father who die in plane accident.


“Alright.. anyway.. sign this"

 

She push a paper she got from her drawer towards that short black haired girl along with a pen. Makes that girl just can raised one of her eyebrows. Staring at the paper which is a proposal to take a break as a doctor, temporarily.

 

“You can’t lost your job. You are a good doctor. This hospital need you”

 

She state calmly. Not even glancing to that short black haired girl. Which is makes her failed to notice that tiny smile on that girl face as she immediately take the pen and sign that paper. Just like what the older told her to.

“You think everything gonna works?”


She state carefully. Staring at the dark ocean. Staring at that small ship. Staring at that man who trying so hard to pulling that girl up that seems washed away by the wave and hit that man ship eventually.

 

“Well.. I hope..”

 

It coming from her side. Makes her turn her head to face that small girl who just take off that jet black binoculars away from her eyes.

 

“Tell.. are you Kim or Lee right now?”

 

She let those question escape from her lips. The question that been wondering inside her mind since the first time that small girl suddenly come to see her that day.

Heard those words coming out from her, that small girl just can curves a tiny smile on her face before she turn and walk away. Let those words fly to the air.

 

“Lee not gonna do something this far.. you know..”

These flashbacks suddenly come across her mind out of sudden. Makes her just can sigh eventually, as she run her fingers through her blonde hair.

 

“It seems bad.. I’m sorry I didn’t know. I hope I can help you. But you know Dami doesn’t like someone meddle into her business”


“Well, so do I..”

 

That blonde doctor smile warmly to the tall girl who looks guilty after she told her if she have a big fight with Dami since a few months ago. That makes Dami suddenly disappeared.
Well, there’s some truth in her story, but there’s also so many lies as she can’t let Roa know who Dami actually is.

 

“No need to worry. We’re gonna make up soon. After we found her”


Yes. After she found her. Cause right now she have no idea where that short blonde haired girl is..

 

—————

 

The night come, a road become busy once again. But there’s no ones around notice that short blonde haired girl who trying hard to lift her head a bit, noticing blood dripping on the ground through her wound as her clothes immediately covered by some dust after those people throw her away out of the van. Let her rolled on the ground of this dark alley. So contrast with how bright, and crowded outside.

 

“Three days. Yoobin. Three days”

 

Those words come across her mind as she try to stand up. Lean on the wall for support. Feeling her body aching so bad, makes her just can gritted her teeth. Staring at her wound and wipe away the blood off of her face. But even though like that, the blood still dripping slowly to her chin and fall to the ground, in the same time when she slowly move her legs. Walk away from that dark alley, to that certain direction. Just to found that building is totally burnt.


“Yoobin?”

 

That familiar voice suddenly entered her ears as she frozen on her spot staring at that building with a police line around. Before she turn her head to the side, staring at that man in scare as she feels there’s a heavy burden on her chest out of sudden.

 

“YOOBIN! LISTEN TO ME!”

 

She entered the house in rush, not even care with that man behind her. Told her if she should get a treatment first while he slammed his car door, and followed her. But she still walk faster, until she stop her steps. Once her eyes meet with that woman who look at her in surprise.

 

“Yoobin?”

 

“Where’s she?”

 

That woman staring at her for awhile. Not answering immediately as she staring at that short blonde haired girl from head to toe. Notice how terrible she is with blood all over her clothes, and bruises on almost all the part of her body.

 

“She is in that room. But, you better clean yourself f-“

 

And before that woman can finish her words. That short blonde haired girl quickly walk away. Walk to that room that point out by that woman. And without thinking twice she immediately grab the doorknob and push the door opens. Showing her there’s a blonde girl inside. Siting on the side of bed, quietly. Before she can see the latter slowly lift her head and turn to her. Meet her gaze, that makes her feel relieved eventually. Knowing she is okay.

 

“Thank God..”

 

It escaped from her lips, without she even realize it as she slowly walk closer to that girl. Just to stop a second later once she notice that girl quickly lowered her head. Seems like avoiding her makes her just can lift the side of her lips. Smile bitterly, let out a deep sigh.

 

“I-“

 

“Clean yourself. You know I have trauma. And after that..”

 

That blonde girl put the photo that been on her palm on the bed. Enough to be seen by the other as that short blonde haired girl suddenly feels something stuck hit her chest so hard once she recognized the photo.

It’s not the photo of the latter which is the latter also stole from her cigarette box. It’s another photo. With the same letters on the edge of it.

 

“I want you to explain everything..”

—————


“I think we should go home now.. it’s late..”

 

That dark brown haired girl state. Staring at that small girl, who older than her which is seems frustrated lean her head on the bar table. With a bottle of beer in her hand. Sigh heavily.

 

“We’ve been checked all the places she usually be.. but why we still can’t find her..”

 

She state in desperate. Gritted her teeth in anger, as she tighten her grip on the bottle and lift herself a second later. Along with that bottle of beer. Ready to drink it.
But before the edge of the bottle can even meet her lips, the other girl suddenly stop her.

 

“Sua-unnie. You drunk. Let’s go home”

 

That small girl glare at her immediately just after those words escape from her lips. Shaking the latter hands away from her wrist, she quickly get down from her seat. Walk away, leaving that other girl who just can watch her join the crowd of people that dance crazily. Following the beat as she knows all those people are drunk. Just like the older.

For a few moments, she just watch the older swing her body followed the rhythm of music as she just drink her beer on the bar. Kinda check the older out until her hand that grab a glass of beer suddenly stop midway. Once she found there’s a stranger guy, move closer to the older. Back hugging her, and buried his face on the older hair as the older seems didn’t mind it. And still swing her body. Absolutely drunk as she seems like seduce that guy who start to roaming her body with—

 

okay that’s it.

 

“Argh!”

 

That guy suddenly screamed among the crowd, stepped away from the older while put his palms on his thigh. But there’s no ones notice him caused of the loud music, except for that older girl who just can frowned. Blurry, staring at that guy in confused before she can feel a hand grab her wrist. Pull her away from the crowd.

 

“Si-“


“Enough. We go home. Now”

 

It sounds so cold coming from her as the older can’t do anything but to follow her. Doesn’t have the strength to fight the younger back anyway.

Glance around tiredly, she accidentally glance to the bar table, notice the bartender gaze is perfectly on the younger. Looks surprised and confused, glancing at her and the broken pieces of glass on the table. Alternately.
Immediately makes something suddenly hit her mind as she quickly turn her gaze towards the guy earlier. Notice that guy palms now covered by blood, along with glass on his thigh. Plant kinda deep.

 

“You did that?”


“Did what?”

 

The younger reply shortly. Open the passenger door and lead the older to get inside and sit. Sure enough if the older is already sit on the seat properly, she immediately slammed the door. Softly, then walk to the driver seat, get inside in any second. Insert the key and start the engine. But before she can switch the gear. A hand suddenly landed on the back of her hand. Stop her move.

 

“Did you do that, Lee Siyeon?”


She asked the younger. Carefully, as she staring at those eyes who staring back at her with an unreadable gaze, until that gaze slowly move. Notice the bottle of beer still on her hand.

 

“Geez, you should stop drinking”

 

She can see the younger lean closer to her, steal the bottle of beer away from her hand while lower the window car beside.

Throwing the bottle out in any second later, then press the button to rise the glass, the same time as she move back to sit on the driver seat once again. Makes herself comfortable. Ready to drive the car away. Leaving the bar. Ignore the older question.

But again, before she can switch the gear. Something has stopped her as she suddenly feel her seat lowered, makes her kinda surprise by that until she can feel someone crawl towards her and siting on her lap. Intimidating her from up there, as she notice those gaze are perfectly on her.

 

“Answer me, Lee Siyeon”

 

“What answer-“

 

“Did you do that?”

 

“Do what?”

 

The older who sit on her seems unhappy. Staring at her with a glare as she also found that gaze looks kinda tired and somehow full of lust. Yet unsatisfied.

“Are you gonna play dumb? I’ve been ignored the fact. And you still playing dumb?”

 

“Sua-unnie, you drunk. Your words didn’t make any sen-“


“The one who killed those people that kidnapped me. It’s you, right?”

 

Those words escape smoothly from the older lips. Makes Siyeon suddenly frozen on her spot, stop her hand midway as she just planned to push Sua away from her. But that words, unexpectedly coming out from those lips. Makes her immediately feel hesitate to just even glancing to the older.


“Sua-unnie.. please, you dru-“

 

“At least I’m not drunk enough to not notice that you just stab that guy with a glass”

 

Again. It was unexpectedly coming from the older. Makes Siyeon can’t help but hold her breath in . Hesitate to even let it out, until she can feel a fingertips on her chin. Trace her face, lightly. Before it seems like asking her to face the older. Meeting those dim gaze that perfectly on her.

 

“It’s you.. right?”

 

It sounds so deep, yet husky. Probably because of the beer, makes Siyeon just can gulping in nervous notice how deep the older gaze on her as she also can notice those gaze seems staring at something else on her face.

Her lips.


“A long before Changmin and Dami arrived. You already take care of these people right? You can’t get down to met me if you were not take care of them first, right? I’m not stupid, Siyeon-ah..”

 

She caressing Siyeon’s bottom lip with her thumb while she says those words out of her lips. Absolutely staring at those lips that part away a bit from each other, before her gaze move slowly. Meet the gaze of the younger on her. Triggered her to lift the side of her lips. Smirking towards her.


“Who are you actually.. Siyeon-ah?”

 

Those are the last words that escape from her lips before she suddenly close the gap between them. Kissing the younger hungrily, feeling the younger gasped between their kiss. Just to makes her feel the heat start to take control over her body. The same time when she deepened their kiss. Pressed her body closer to the younger while encircled her arms around the younger neck. Pulling her closer until she pull herself away. Craving for the air, just to feel a pair of lips exploring her neck a second later. on it, and immediately find her sensitive spot that placed right behind her ear. Makes her accidentally let out a soft moan right beside the younger ear that immediately realized what she have done, and pull away. Earning a confused look from the older.

 

“I-“

 

“Continue..”

 

Siyeon widened her eyes in disbelief after she heard that. Hoping if she just heard it wrong. But she is not, as she can feel a hot breath blowing onto her skin. Along with the older who slowly lean closer once again, still with both of her arms around Siyeon’s neck.


“I need to release my stress..”

 

“This is not the best way to it..”

 

“Well.. it is, since-“

She suddenly cut her own words. At the same time when those images suddenly come across her mind. The images of her with that certain guy, busy with their thing. Helping her to release her stress, as she became so unstable after knowing her father dead news. Makes her failed to think straight and eventually giving her everything to him.

Everything.

 

“Sua-unnie, you okay?”

 

This voice snapped Sua out of her mind. Found Siyeon staring at her in wonder, and worried visible in those gaze. Makes her just can lowered her head. Feeling something suddenly press her chest so hard. Makes her feel sick and hard to breath out of sudden, even though she inhale a lot of air before. But somehow her lungs still craving for the air, until she can feel a palm on her cheeks. Touching it lightly.

 

“Sua-“

 

And before the other can finish it. She immediately rush to the latter. Hug her tightly, burying her face on the younger neck deeply.

 

“Su-“

 

“Let me stay like this for awhile..”

 

Her voice shaking, seems like telling the younger to not asking anything to her as she deepened her face on the latter neck. Inhale the scent of the younger that somehow calming her. Let the silence take control over the air around them until she feel her eyelids become so heavy, a moment before she start to breathing slowly. Fall asleep on the younger embrace in any second. Not knowing how dark and empty the younger gaze at this moment.

 

“Nick..”

 

“... Nick?”

 

—————

 

“What happened to her?”

 

Jiu rush to the front door immediately once she heard the door swung open. Revealing Siyeon who carrying Sua on her arms while struggling to walk inside. Makes Jiu quickly helped her and closed the door behind. Following the younger while staring at that certain person.

 

“She is drunk..”

 

“Drunk? Geez.. this girl..”

 

Jiu sigh heavily as she found Sua sleeping peacefully while rest her head on Siyeon’s chest while she opens Sua’s room, just to makes Siyeon can get inside easily and quickly placed Sua on the bed. Makes Sua’s hair fall to the back in the process. Giving Jiu a chance to found there’s a purple mark behind Sua’s ear. Quickly makes her unknowingly lift her hand and placed it on her own neck. Gulping in nervous as she covered the same mark on her neck behind her palm, that also covering by her black hair.


“Has Dongie found already?”

 

Jiu quickly snapped out of her thought. Turn her head towards Siyeon who is staring at her in confused and wonder. Waiting for her to give the latter an answer. But what Jiu gave to her isn’t the proper answer but a gesture as she just lowered her head. Sigh deeply and shake her head.

Fortunately, it’s enough for Siyeon as she also sigh before she staring at Jiu. Observe that girl quietly.


“You looks tired, unnie. You better rest”

 

Siyeon state calmly, moving her gaze to staring at that small girl on the bed makes Jiu just can curves a tiny smile on her face as she still placed her palm on her neck. Shoo some thoughts away from her mind.

 

“Well, I guess I should.. Yunho and Changmin are out. I’m sure we will find Dongie and Dami soon. Anyway I’ll go now, good night Siyeon..”

 

“Yeah. Good night”


Siyeon smile to Jiu. Warmly, makes Jiu immediately smiling back before she turn her gaze to Sua. Still with that smile as she walk closer to that girl and bent down beside the bed. Lean closer, and plant a kiss on Sua’s forehead.

 

“Sweet dream, stupid. Love you..”

 

She whisper softly, before she lift herself and give Siyeon her one last smile before she walk out of the room and close the door from outside. But strangely, she doesn’t walk away immediately as she decided to standing there for awhile, leaning on the door while run her fingertips on her neck as she pull her hand off.

 

“They back already?”

 

That voice suddenly can be heard, makes Jiu kinda surprised and flinch on her spot. Found that silver haired girl standing not far in front of her.

Standing there, staring at her with a questioning look.

 

“Yeah, they just arrived..”

 

“Oh, good then.. what about Changmin and Yunho?”

 

“Not yet..”

 

Jiu answer weakly as she lowered her head. Makes Yoohyeon feels kinda uncomfortable out of sudden. Notice a quick change of air around them.

 

“I see..”

 

Those words coming out from Yoohyeon’s lips. Sounds kinda different makes Jiu immediately lift her head and staring at that silver haired girl. Found her lowered her head, seems guilty makes Jiu quickly walk to the latter and put her palms on her cheeks. Cupping the younger face on her palms.

 

“Hey.. everything is gonna be alright.. I promise”

 

Jiu state softly as she caressing Yoohyeon’s cheeks full of affection. Staring at those eyes deeply, as those eyes also staring at her with the same vibes. But there’s a slight of emptiness in those eyes, that Jiu failed to notice these days.

Until it suddenly become so dark. Staring at nowhere, but her neck.

For a few seconds, Jiu seems confused by those eyes that perfectly landed on her neck until something hit her mind. Makes her turn panic immediately. Try to cover her neck and pull her palms off of Yoohyeon’s cheeks. But before she can do that, she suddenly feel a hand that immediately put her hair aside. Brushed on her skin lightly, sending chills down to her spine, until she notice that girl pull her hand away a second later. But it quickly replaced with that sharp gaze, staring right into Jiu’s eyes.


“Who did it?”

“I-It’s none of your business”

 

Jiu stutters at her words. And it makes her want to hit her head so bad at this moment as she found Yoohyeon’s expression not even change a bit.

Just staring at her until she can see the latter close her eyes. Sigh lightly.

 

“You right. Anyway, I’m tired”

 

Yoohyeon state reluctantly as she rubbed her silver hair and turn around. Decided to walk away to Jiu’s room. Leaving the owner behind who just can staring at her back, before a frown suddenly appeared on Jiu’s face once she notice there’s scars on Yoohyeon’s wrist.

Covered by the younger long sleeve shirt a second later as the latter slowly put her hand down and grab the doorknob. Get inside in any second. Failed to notice that unreadable gaze that was perfectly on her coming from that black haired girl who slowly bring her hand to her neck.

Grab the thing that been hanging on her neck behind her shirt.


A necklace.

 

“Could it be..”

 

——————

 

“Ah, I know you.. you are that girl lover. Right?”

 

That navy haired girl smile widely as she looking down to that guy behind her full mask. While that guy seems panicked as he stand on the edge of the bridge. With a strong wave down there.

 

“W-who are you? I mean, listen.. whoever paid you. I can pay you a much more than him. So let me go..”

 

“Money?”

 

That girl tilted her head to the side. Sounds confused by his words that also make that guy frowned. Confused by that girl response until he flinch on his spot and almost fall off the bridge once that girl laugh lightly out of sudden. Found the situation kinda funny for her.

 

“Geez, what are you talking about? I don’t need your money. And she doesn’t even paid me”

 

She laugh again, kinda loud this time while putting her palm on her stomach. Until she slowly cool down, makes that guy immediately put on his guard once again. Meeting that frightening gaze of that girl behind the mask. Before she can feel that girl pull her lips up,


“Well, you know.. I hate to feel bored. So to make this fun.. I’ll let you live, okay?”

 

She raised her hand, pointing the sharp iron between her middle finger and index finger towards that guy who just can staring at her in relief yet confused as he can’t understand what she meant by her words. And that girl not even bother to reveal any detail to him as she just walk away, leaving that guy behind. Not knowing if that guy carefully bent down to reach a gun that placed not far from him. But before he can reached it. That girl voice suddenly echoed in his ears. Makes him frozen immediately.

 

“Woahh, what is that? A cup glass? Well, I want to try something. It’s been a long time tho”

 

That guy turn his head to that girl. Found that girl reaching something inside the car near her. Pulling a cup glass out of it that makes him frown a bit, as he watch that girl put that cup glass on the hood car. Hit it on the hood car hardly until he just can widened his eyes in shock once the biggest piece of the broken cup glass fly towards him out of sudden. And before he can react, it suddenly stab his arms. Plant deeply makes him groan in pain while that girl smile widely, staring at him before she staring at some pieces of broken cup on the hood car. Still with that smile.

 

“At least I know my hand still can throw something accurately..”

 

That girl chuckle lightly over her own words before she grab another big piece of that broken cup and swing it to the air. Throw it in high speed towards that guy who doesn’t even know there’s another attack coming from that girl makes him just can groan once again when that piece of glass cut his finger. And surprisingly, it cut his finger off. Makes that loud groan immediately escape his lips while that girl just laugh at him and eventually walk away. Leaving that guy for real as she wave her hand to that guy and smile behind her mask.

 

“I’m gonna kill you later, Nick”

 

“Nick..”

 

That name escape from that girl lips as she seems anxious in her sleep. Rolling to her side and back again. Breath heavily, with a sweat slowly appeared on her forehead before that hand suddenly landed on her head. Rubbing her hair softly. Try to shoo away whatever nightmare that girl see in her sleep.

Feeling sure if that girl calm down and breath normally. The other girl who been sitting on the side of bed slowly pull her hand away. Staring at that sleeping girl that seems like can get her peaceful sleep once again. Makes that tiny smile slowly curved on her face before it suddenly disappeared once her gaze move back to the phone on her hand. The phone that belong to that sleeping girl. Showing her the picture of a that girl and a guy as a lock screen. And believe it or not, she knows that guy.

That guy face that successfully triggered her memory along with that smile that only appeared on her face.

After such a long time.

 

“Nick.. huh?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued....

Hecc this was honestly an amazing story. It realy deserves so much more recognition. From the plot twists and God the DRAMA. EVERY SINGLE MOMENT WAS JUST SO WEW. I could have dealt with a lot less white space though. That was really unecessary. Still The plot was amazing. Siyeon and Sua just... My heart. I loved it.

I have to say this is the best Dreamcatcher fanfic I ever read!!! From the charactesr to the plot twist of your story definitely was so good. All of characters, I am surely like Yoohyeon the most hehe although I don't why XD. I am fan of 1st kpop generation so SNSD and DBSK also my favorite, but so sad DBSK's members were dead after all T_T. After all, thank you so much for write a wonderful fanfic for Dreamcatcher ^^. Looking forward to next fanfic~
