stay with me. [HYEWON]

chapter one

Hyejoo was walking down the street to get to the closest Starbucks for the morning coffee for jiwoo and sooyoung, since they were completely wasted after last night. Not at Hyejoo who literally stopped three robberies and saved two cats to willingly go to Starbucks for morning coffee for her two best friends. (I aint ever seen two pretty best friends but jiwoo and sooyoung are literally girlfriends so) when someone walked right into her.

oof! - hyejoo said and looked who she bumped into. It was a girl with a big bag which contents were on the pavement literally getting destroyed by pedestrians steps.

im so sorry, so so so terribly. I apologize! - girl quickly got up and offered Hyejoo help.

Only now she saw her violet dress getting stumped on. She quickly picked it up from the pavement and yelled under her nose.

I was supposed to wear this in a couple of seconds! Thats why I bumped into you.. - she looked at hyejoo and stopped.

Hyejoo was beautiful, completely opposite of her; long, dark hair, owal glasses and high converse. She was looking really pretty at this moment.

I.. I am so sorry.. - she sighted. - I need to go. See you..? - she said, storming out ahead of herself.

..huh. - hyejoo shrugged her shoulders and continued walking. She was feeling kind of sad because of the stomped dress and the girl, but didn't think much of it. There was only one thing bothering her. How did she not see anyone going her way?

She stormed out of Starbucks when she saw the news in one of the tv in the coffee shop. There was a fire, and a big one, in one of the malls. She had to move quick, so she trashed newly made Starbucks to the bin and started to run into one of the back alleyways. She didn't have her suit, but she had it in her room. She needed to get there quick before the fire spreads.

In a couple of minutes she was already in her dorm, storming through her closet to find the suit. Being finally found, she quickly put it on and yet again stormed through the window, not catching a breath. She quickly got her phone out of the pocket and called Gowon. She didn't answer. Sometimes the phones just malfunctioned for no reason, since they had only one contact, were old and tossed around in their pockets. Olivia thought that her friend was already in action and a sudden strike of anxiety came through her body.

„What if something happens to her?"

Olivia was always scared of letting Gowon be alone. Its not that she was non competent but.. she was just worrying about her. Its the sudden ache in your belly. You just know that something might happen.

She finally got to the mall, now it was completely on fire, it was raging everywhere. She quickly run to the nearest firetruck to get one mask for herself, since she didn't want to suffocate inside.

She knew Gowon would do the same. As much as clumsy she was, even with her powers - she was also smart. Olivia admired her because of it.

Her Gowon.

Olivia stormed inside and looked around to find some survivors. She quickly helped a bunch of people evacuate and when doing so she saw Gowon, trying to hold big beam on top of her.

Hes stuck! She shouted to Olivia when the other girl was running in her direction. - I don't know how much longer he's going to take.

Get your mask on Gowon! - her teammate said, seeing that Gowon gave her one to the man under the beam.

He needs it more than I do! Now help me!

As Gowon said that more beams started rolling down from the ceiling. You could hear only screams when one of them slowly impaled stuck man, his life pouring out of him.

Gowon could only watch in horror this whole scene; Olivia had to work fast. She quickly took off her mask and put it on Gowon, took her friend by her hand and ran out of the collapsing building. They quickly ran to the closest ambulance and said there was one more person inside and he might still be alive.

Both of them knew he wasn't.

Next, Gowon had to wear oxygen mask for a bit since she was coughing a lot. Olivia watched how her friend was crying, even she couldn't hold herself back and both of them started looking at one another, maniacally crying. It was the first time they saw someone die.

Hyejoo was laying on her bed, trying to stay calm. She tried to call Gowon a couple of times some time ago but she couldn't bring herself to actually do it. She didn't know if she needed space, comfort or a hug, but what she saw in her eyes was terrifying - she never saw Gowon so scared, so little. She was always this clumsy ray of sunshine in Hyejoos eyes, while now she remembers her only when she was crying.

She slowly rolled out of bed and checked herself in the mirror, big puffy bags forming under her eyes. She sighed and went to the bathroom to clean herself. Hyejoo hopped inside of the bathtub, let the tap run and slowly merged underwater, as the bathtub was filling itself up.

Being in a bath she couldn't hear what girls in the other room were talking about. Hyejoo was tired of them fangirling about some actor, or hearing jiwoo and sooyoung jokingly calling themselves names. She needed silence. Suddenly she saw face of the man they couldn't save. She quickly emerged from the water and couldn't take a breath; the girl was trying to catch some breath when Sooyoung started banging on the door.

Hyejoo, is everything okay? - she said calmly yet she was low-key shouting. - Im coming in! - she barged into the room to see her friend wrapped in towels, having hard time to breath.

Oh my god Hyejoo, what happened?! - Jiwoo took Hyejoo into tight embrace and started rocking her slowly like she was a baby.

Do you want some tea? - Jiwoo asked when all three roommates were sitting on sooyoungs bed, that was the closest to the bathroom.

I just, I.. - she wanted to tell them everything. How she sees face of the man being slowly ripped apart, how Gowon must have felt when she failed to save him.

If you don't want to tell its okay. Just know its okay. - Sooyong took Hyejoos head and hugged her with her tummy.

Sooyoung was one year older than the rest of the girls yet Hyejoo thought of her as of her own mum. She needed one, now even more than usual.

Hyejoo, if you are going to have more courage to talk about it just come to us, please - jiwoo took her hands and placed them on hyejoos knees, while the other girl was staring blankly into the distance.

It made her angry. More courage, of all things she needed to say that.
