Third Person's POV.

 

 

"One and a half inches less."

A soft, cold voice startled the two girls on the floor leaning against the couch eating ramyeon. Sinb's right hand reflex pushed away Sowon's face. Her heart was beating fast in surprise as if caught cheating.

"Oh- Omuji?" Sowon looked at Umji, who had been standing stiff in front of the closed door. "Where's Yuju?" Waiting for an answer but she got a shake of the head of the maknae for the closeness of her face with Sinb earlier.

So she ignored Sowon's question. Of course, she left Yuju who was blind in any direction in a foreign country. While she couldn't have told the reason for the bad intentions to the oldest unnie who was like a mother here.

In fact it's true, Sowon's heart has been pounding as if afraid of losing that stupid Yuju. Her eyes had been tracing Umji's disheveled face to wait for an honest answer.

 

 

 

"Still catching up." Umji's short reply to Sowon who immediately frowned. Staring at Sinb who completely ignored their conversation, even the existence of Umji which she hoped could get out of her eyes.

"Why didn't you hold her hand during the trip?" Sowon rose from under the floor walking to Umji who was already beating with fear of guilt. She realized she was too blinded by anger.

And this is all successful dizzying Umji's head became increasingly heavy. She really wanted to be angry and make an announcement that was actually not important for debate. She knew she could control everything well if in the end the secret would still be revealed like the smell of the carcass which would soon be smelled too.

 

Or is this the time has come for the carcass to be exposed to all the eyes that live around it?

 

 

Okay, she has no other choice. Even if there's no a little gap to be a way out. It's all the same as it ends in a dead end. 

 

 

So she ignored the second question from Sowon who began to understand that something must have happened between her and Yuju.

Umji walked away from Sowon who just arrived in front of her, saying, "I already sent a gps picture, the trip from the cafe to here is not so far anyway."

"Are you crazy?!" Sowon's screams startled Umji and Sinb who stopped chewing ramyeon. They both stared spechless at Sowon who was already angry. "What if she gets lost and just gets here in the middle of the night? Where did the smart Yewon go?!"

She really went berserk while taking a hat from her room ignoring Yerin who actually heard the debate just now. Eunha also stiff to hear Sowon suddenly call the real name of one of the members, a sign that she was very angry. No one dares to harass her when angry, not even Sinb who's a thug, maybe because her heart is not in the mood due to the problem with Umji who is now really scared.

 

 

 

Nobody dared to open their mouth to see Sowon who had taken a jacket on a hanger to catch up and look for Yuju. But Yerin ventured out and restrained Sowon's movement by saying, "Don't go alone too, unnie-"

"No one even care about her existence!" Sowon cuts roughly while wearing a jacket.

"Unnie will get lost too, Yewon has also sent a gps she can convey to the taxi driver in English, she's very fluent in-"

"Then what if the driver is a female ?! This is Japan!" Sowon shouted so loudly at Yerin who had a head massage because she was also dizzy over personal problems.

"Unnie-" Umji's eyes were filled with tears of fear, "That's not what I meant-"

"Whatever your apologies won't return Yuju here." Sowon has reached out to the door knob which suddenly moves on its own and opens.

 

 

 

 

"Oh- Why everybody is here?" The person in question had arrived sliding the door and closing it slowly. Yuju was confused seeing the condition in front her eyes, all the members were silent staring at her. 

Sowon sighed harshly as she took off hat from her hair which already looked messy. While Umji's sob began to fill the entire room.

"Yuju has returned home, there's nothing to worry about anymore." Eunha, who had been watching silently from the edge of the room, walked toward the crying Umji to hugged her tightly.

"O..kay, what's happening?" Yuju was still surprised and wondered at the two short embraced in sadness after mentioning her name. "Why did she cry?"

"She just cried over her own stupidity." Sinb's answer who continued eating ramyeon got a loud rebuke from Eunha who said,

"Enough! Most importantly, Yuju has returned safely."

"Why are you separated in the middle of the trip?" Sowon asked while holding back anger as long as the person she was worried about had arrived.

"Huh??" Yuju was confused what to say about seeing Umji who was crying on Eunha's neck. There's no way she said that the maknae left her on purpose, right? As a result of her own mistakes because it has crossed the line into someone's private affairs. "It's just... I lost her tracks?"

"No need to lie anymore." Umji's raspy voice made everyone confused except Sinb who was tense like Yuju seemed to be ready to hear Umji's own mouth which would expose everything.

 

 

 

Sowon sighed in a giggle as if to insinuate, "No wonder a smart Yewon dares to defy and leaves Yuju just like that, especially for no reason."

Umji nodded while breaking away from the arms of Eunha who was staring wistfully into her swollen eyes. "Hm- I'm so sorry."

Yuju really couldn't bear this time, she stammered to protect the privacy, "No, I'm really lost as usual."

"We're not stupid, Choi Yuna." Sowon's flat voice has locked Yuju's lips back and can't lie anymore.

Her heart really felt guilty again as if she was the reason for everything being revealed. Different to Sinb who tightens the right fist in front of the ramyeon that has run out. Sinb's heart felt like it was torn into pieces.

"So?" Eunha asked while wiping out Umji's tears.

 

 

 

"I am indeed insolent to the oldest-"

"Sshh," Eunha shook her head at Umji while her shoulder, "All children can sin because of anger. Naturally."

"I'm sorry- I left her because of my own selfishness. But I just remembered and realized after being in a taxi that the person I left was Choi Yuna who didn't know which one was right and left so I immediately sent a photo of map." Umji made all the members giggle even to Yuju herself. She knows herself is blind.

"No problem, Yewon-ah." Yuju walked to Umji's side and hugged her as Eunha leaned her head on Umji's shoulder.

"Then what selfishness do you mean?" Sowon asked Umji without looking away from Yerin who had been daydreaming in a disheveled face. "There must be something wrong that ruined her mind." Then looked sharply towards Eunha who was too focused on calming Umji.

 

 

 

"Actually, I understand the intentions of Yuju unnie," said Umji who then glanced at the girl behind sitting in a blank stare but her ears must still be functioning, "even the reason Sinb was angry last night."

"What??" Sowon scowled in surprise and confusion turned to the girl behind. Sinb continued to act as if mute had no lips and was deaf. But Sowon's mind is getting wild and suspicious of the reason she's angry because... "Don't tell me that she really isn't straight?"

"I know their intentions are good to remind me of the effort we have struggled so far, it could be broken down from the top." Umji had calmed down from the sob. 

Sowon's focus was divided in two. First the strangeness of Yerin who suddenly silent after daring to disturb her anger. And secondly, Sinb, who seems to have a forbidden feeling that is not realized by Umji who thinks that Sinb's intentions are only for the sake of goodness.

 

 

 

 

 

"So what is it all about?" Eunha asked carefully to Umji.

 

 

 

 

 

"I... have been dating Sanha for a long time since the first episode." Her answer knocked all the hearts of the members who were shivered in shock, unable to speak, even Eunha's eyes are widen and reflexively lowered her hands from hugs. Even breaks Yerin's daydream in a second.

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Oh my ing God, Sinb-ya.." Sowon sighed staring at the girl behind who smiled bitterly. "You like someone straight as ?"

Chapter 13: Hmmm. It’s been an interesting read so far. The fighting was a but ambiguous at first but it did make sense in the end. I struggled to understand some parts because of the grammar but hey! It all made sense in the end. There’s nothing wrong with tall line being straight lmao but I don’t agree with Yuju though. While it is true most of society shuns the lgbtq+ community, there is a reason people fight for their recognition. Being gay doesn’t make your relationships any less of what it is. It’s a human right to be able to love who you want freely. A human right. You don’t need to be in a relationship with a guy to be seen as legitimate. Hiding in the closet forever is damaging to yourself as a person and to your ‘partners’. Having a guy you date as a facade to seem straight is only hurting him because you can’t love him fully and yet hiding your true relationship with your girlfriend is painful because you can’t express yourselves in public. I mean I don’t know? Maybe people can work it out but keeping a secret like that is damning. Why should you hide your identity? It’s not shameful. Repercussions for being in the lgbtq+ exist only because society deems it so, but it shouldn’t be. I understand that right now isn’t the time for them but years down the line, unless they were okay with poly, Umji’s gonna have to choose between one or the other. Maybe Bi could handle being the other one but it’s not good for your mental psyche. Being gay is hard but people fight for it to be recognised, is it a sin to want to love? Anyway this was just my opinion it’s not bashing. It’s gotten long winded but I wanted to express what my thoughts were.
