"jeno, angel, please don't worry, okay?"
she winced at the feelings of handcuffs tightening against her wrist. pinching and scratching her skin.
disquiet settled in her stomach - she had expected it but hadn't anticipated it. she wasn't ready though she knew it was coming.
because she was wanted, there was no way she could call police without getting punished herself.
"heloise, don't leave me. i'm scared." "i'll come back okay. don't miss me too much."
she tried to give him a smile, not wanting the distressing situation to take too much effect on her. because if it did, she wouldn't be able to continue with her plan.
the sirens of the police cars were too loud. why was everything so loud?
she sat hunched over in the back of the car. it was settling in how scary this was. especially with blood coating her hands. she didn't get to wash it after almost killing taeryeong.
it didn't take long to get to the station, to get her fingerprints taken, and to be put inside a questioning room.
"we have reason to believe that you committed arson and murder of Sohn Inho."
she exhaled slowly, this would take a while.
"i admit, that night, i was angry, and i hit him. but only by accident, because he didn't want to let me go. i would never kill him. as much as he treated me like shit, i wouldn't do that to my brother. i know who did it though."

she was surprised they believed her at all. but they did, and now she was waiting for to be picked up.
a commotion from somewhere else caught her attention, and she snuck away to see.
"heloise!"
she turned to face the person. it was yeong.
"yeong? why are you here?" "im getting taeryeong out of trouble."
the girl was confused and her brow crinkled to show that. "what do you mean?-" "taeryeong didn't do it. well she did, but because i told her to."
"why? do you hate me that much that you would kill my own father?"
yeong shrugged, her hands cuffed in front of her. "why do you even hate me, yeong? what have i ever done to you? why did this whole stupid rivalry even start?"
this was her only chance to ever find this out. if she didn't take it now, she'd never have her peace.
"you're rich, your parents are well off and your family is doing generally well. yet you still decided to be a rebel, you still decided to try and race to get money. and you won. you won over me, and when i had nothing, you took all that should've belonged to me."
"so you're jealous? that i don't want to use my parents' money? and that i work hard to make myself?" heloise didn't get it yet.
"what was estelle's real name? do you know?" "ireun, i think." "her fullname?" "min ireun."
yeong nodded sadly, biting her lip. for the first time in basically forever, there were tears in her eyes. and they were threatening to fall, coercing a helpless frown across her expression.
"do you know what my full name is?" heloide shook her head no, she only knew yeong as yeong.
"let me re-introduce myself then, since this will probably be the last time you see me. hi, i'm min i-yeong, ireun's younger sister."
suddenly, everything fell into place. like pieces of a broken porcelain vase, or a thousand piece puzzle. "min i-yeong?"
yeong nodded sadly again, a smile gracing her lips. "i was always mad at you. when ireun and i were younger, we promised to stay together forever, throughout everything. when ever i ran away, she came to look for me, and i did the same for her. we were inseparable, until you came. and i couldn't stand the thought of losing her. but i still lost her in the end anyway."
there were tears falling from yeong's eyes, not many, but enough to break heloise's heart. she felt sorry for something she hadn't even meant to do.
"i'm sorry that you felt that way-"
"no, i'm sorry, i made your life hell. all i wanted was ireun, but i know now, ireun wanted both of us. me as her sister and you as her lover. we were both in different ball parks, and i was a bitch to compare us. she wouldn't be proud of me, and im sorry."

for a long time, i wondered, why does yeong hate heloise? there can't just be no reason. even if its something small that was all in yeong's head, to yeong, it was a big deal. it was something so stupid, that all it took was for her to think, but she would never see that without help.
