Chapter 9
I want you to knowRecap:
"Yuju...yuju..." I hear Sowon calling me.
I am sorry unnie.
Then I was completely asleep.
Third person POV
"No, please don't hurt her. I will do anything you say but please leave her alone!"
He smirks and lift up his arm with a knife above his head.
She closes her eyes and brace herself for the pain she's going to receive.
The knife comes down, fast and rough.
"...Are you okay?..." A gentle smile...
"YUJU!"
Yerin's eyes flutter open.
She wipes her sweat from her brows and sit up. Her shirt is soaked with her own sweat.
She takes a deep breathe to calm herself down and looks around the room she's in.
Oh, I was dreaming....What a nightmare.
Then Yerin saw someone sleeping in Sowon's bed.
She gets up from my bed to take a closer look at the person.
"Yuju..."
Flashback
"Careful there. Are you okay?"
~~
Yuju came and help me again.
Yerin fixes the blanket on Yuju before getting out of her bed and exiting the room as quietly as she can.
She shut the bedroom door gently and tip-toed to the kitchen to get something to drink.
Yerin stops on her track and stand at the corner of the wall for cover when she heard someone sobbing.
"Baby, calm down, Yuju is fine. She is sleeping soundly now. Don't be scared. I wouldn't let anything happen to Yuju. You know that right?"
Sowon gently moves away loose strands of hair from Eunha's face and put them behind her ear. Then she cups her face in both of her hands, the shorter girl's cheeks.
Eunha doesn't look up at Sowon, her tears still flowing down her cheeks. "He nearly stab her with a knife Sowon. WITH A KNIFE. She could've been hospitalized or...or worst, dead! How can I stay calm when I know that he is not going to let her go alive the next time they meet. This is getting so f***ed up unnie."
She leans onto Sowon's shoulders for support when she starts sobbing heavily.
The taller girl the shorter girl's hair softly while whispering soothing words into her girlfriend's ear.
Tears stream down the hiding girl's face as she covers to stop the sob from escaping.
She doesn't know that Minho would do something so brutal and cold. She nearly lose someone so precious to her because of her recklessness.
If I had left him there at the parking lot, this would never happen....
She walks back to her bedroom door, not wanting to interrupt the sad couple in the kitchen.
She enters and walks over to the girl who is sleeping peacefully.
Yerin kneels down beside the bed. She gently takes Yuju's hand and press it against her cheek.
It's warm...
Yerin savors the heat emitting from the sleeping girl's palm.
Her tears falls as she cry silently, feeling sorry for the other girl.
"It's all my fault. I am sorry Yuju-ya. Stupid....you are always with me whenever I got myself into the mess...." she whispers to herself, afraid that she will wake the other girl up.
She studies the sleeping girl for a while. Her eyes scan her face, then it goes down to her arms.
She notices the scar from Yuju's left arm.
She still remembers how Yuju got that scar. The memory brings her both sad and regret every time she recalls it.
If she had been more careful of her choices, things would have gone the better way and Yuju would never
