Seulgi couldn’t take it anymore.

It felt too heavy for her to carry.

Too painful to endure.

She thought she could be brave, but she couldn’t.

Not when every fiber of her body crumbles in fear.

Despite the tears flooding her face, her lips felt dry.

And with unsteady steps, she moved closer to the edge.

Ready to fall.

Ready to end it all.

Maybe she is selfish, not considering the feelings of the people that cares for her if jump.

But maybe is selfless too, not wanting anyone of them to know, not when it means they’ll be in danger too if they find out.

“What’s going on, Unnie?” Joy held Wendy’s hand in fear.

“Yeri, why are you crying?”

the police officers came back to where the girls were after checking the room.

“did she not come home yesterday?” they questioned and it made Joohyun think she was being irresponsible to not know whether her member did or did not.

“What’s going on?” Joy asked again, this time to the men.

“You don’t know?” one of them asked

The leader was starting to get frustrated at the situation.
