Strange Clouds
Behind Those Hazel Eyes
Nobody’s Pov
Giant steel walls, small square windows, dirty white sheets, and a fish like smell greeted the girls as they enter the old worthless warehouse:
Da-young: “What’s that smell?”
In-an: “Fish, raw fish”.
Ji-an: “we are somewhat close to the fishing ports; they bring fish and seafood here”.
Da-young nod as the thought of this filthy place being their home for the time being, Sa-rang took a step forward as the girls followed her moment. They started to explore and clean the place, they would now call home:
Mi Rin: “From where I stand the inland keep looking better and better”.
Sa-rang: “I could even say I miss the place”.
In-an: “Stop. We should be happy that we are out of that place and here”.
Da-young: “Well, we are happy but we just need a better place to call home while we figure things out”.
As the girls continue to bicker about what to do, Ji-an sat in the corner, leaning against a hard and cold pillar as she looked up at the stars:
Ji-an: “We didn't even thank them”.
Ji-an’s soft voice caught their attention, enough for them to stop fighting.
Da-young: “Thank who?”
Ji-an: “The ones who got us here”.
Sa-rang: “Our feet? We ran all the way here”.
Ji-an looked at Sa-rang and let out a heavy hearten sigh:
In-an: “She means those men that got us to the city”.
Ji-an: “Will ever stop reading other people’s thoughts”.
In-an: “I can’t really just turn it off”.
Ji-an with the help of Mi Rin got up and dust herself down and headed towards the door:
In-an: “Where are you going? “
Ji-an: “To find food, you all need to eat”.
Mi Rin: “I’ll go with you”.
In-an: “You and Mi Rin try to get some food while we clean up a little”.
Ji-an walked out without a word while Mi Rin simply nod:
Da-young: “You know she’s right”.
Sa-rang: “Hey little one, let’s get to work”.
Da-young: “I was just saying”.
In-an: “Well don’t, those men are out of our lives, we are never going to see them again. Never”.
However, her thoughts betray her as she remember the boy with the blonde hair, she shook her head and they all started to work in silence, a deep and regretful silence while Ji-an and Mi Rin walked without any sense of direction:
Mi Rin: “I think we might be lost”.
There was no answer from Ji-an, she just keep walking and walking:
Mi Rin: “Hey you, I’m talking…”
Mi Rin’s head snapped to the right while Ji-an come to complete stop, Mi Rin continue to listen carefully, she could hear many male voices along with some soft female voices. To her it sounded like they were right next to her, she grabbed Ji-an’s wrist and started walking towards those voices as she got close, she could smell food.
Ji-an: “Where are we going? “
Mi Rin: “There’s food over here come on we need to get some”.
Ji-an let Mi Rin guide her towards what look like a grown woman servicing a bunch of drunk men and women. The woman looks kind and caring as she smiled at the rude and anxious costumer.
Woman: “Can I help you girls?”
Mi Rin: “We were looking for food”.
Woman: “Well sweetie you came to the right place, take a seat I’ll be right with you two”.
Ji-an looked around as Mi Rin took a seat, Ji-an stared at the large group of drunks that were leaving and giving the woman some sort of colored papers. The air became chiller, Ji-an could see the chills on Mi Rin’s skin as the little outdoor restaurant begin to empty out:
Woman: “So what I can get you?”
Ji-an: “Madam, what were those people giving you?”
Woman: “They were giving me money to pay for the food they ate”.
Mi Rin: “Pay? What’s pay?”
Woman: “When you want something like food most of the time you have to give money in order to get some”.
Ji-an and Mi Rin started to slowly rise from their seat, they thank the kind woman and head towards the door, leaving a confused woman alone with two new male costumers.
Ji-an: “How are we supposed to get money?”
Mi Rin: “My guess is as good as yours”.
Ji-an: “Maybe the other girls know”.
Mi Rin was about to open when they heard a loud thud followed by a scream coming from the restaurant, they ran back to find the woman on floor, bleeding.
Ji-an: “Madam, Are you okay? “
Ji-an wanted to touch but she couldn't, she want to make sure the kind lady was okay but she didn't know what to do.
Ji-an: “Mi Rin, you can run much faster than I can, go find the rest of girls”.
Mi Rin stood up and took off running almost at the speed of light, she reach the warehouse in no time:
Mi Rin: “We need help!”
In-an and Sa-rang looked from above as Da-young moved closer to Mi Rin:
In-an: “What happened? Where’s Ji-an?”
Mi Rin: “I’m telling we need help come on”.
Mi Rin took off running as In-an, Sa-rang, and Da-young tried to keep up, they were greeted by Ji-an’s bloody hands.
In-an: “What did you do?”
Mi Rin: “She didn't do anything; we came back and found her like this”.
Da-young: “Found who?”
Mi Rin pointed towards the floor where the woman was laying only to find a pool of blood and turn to Ji-an:
Mi Rin: “Where is she?”
Woman: “I’m fine, perfectly fine”.
The girls including Mi Rin were confused, Mi Rin was sure the woman was on the floor bleeding to death and now she was standing next to Ji-an looking like nothing happen:
Sa-rang: “What’s going on?”
Ji-an: “She’s…She can…She can heal on her own…She’s just like Mi Rin”.
Ji-an turn to look at the woman who was smiling at her and later at the rest of girls. Mi Rin and In-an couldn't believe what they were hearing, Da-young was completely speechless as for Sa-rang, she was just staring at her:
Woman: “I have been waiting for you, girls for a long time. Welcome home, my girls.”
