THREE
The truth behind it all
The sun was about to shine and Youngji wants to sleep badly. Her body desperately needs it but there’s something bothering her. All she did was to twist and turn on her bed. Intuition they say.
Finally, she gives up and recovers from her bed. She checks her phone but nobody texted or called her. Despite it, she keeps on feeling heavy and nervous like she’s about to suffocate any minute.
She decided to text Jackson but there is no reply after minutes of waiting.
Maybe he’s in his deep sleep… She wondered.
Out of frustration, she proceeds preparing for her schedule but there something telling her not to. She keeps on looking on her phone. Defeated, she opens her phone one more time. She checks everything in her phone just to convince herself that everything is fine.

“Oennie, Can I talk to Jackson first?” She’s biting her lips waiting for a response.
“Okay but hurry. DSP wants you as soon as possible. I’ll hang up now.”
As she ended the call, her phone goes beeping again. She receives another call and this time it’s from Jackson. She picks it up without any hesitations. She feels somewhat relieved by it and a slight curve forms on her lips.
