JENNIE's POV

"Sweetie wake up."

"You need to wake up now." a familiar soft voice called me which stir me from my sleep. For a moment, I thought that I must have been dreaming, for I have never experienced being woken up by my Mom.

"Mom?" I mumbled still sleepy, looking all dazed from my interrupted sleep as I try to look up at the woman standing at the side of my bed.

"Sweetheart you need to get up now."

"It's urgent." She said gravely with her voice a liitle shaky and cracking which suddenly brought me to my senses.

In my 18 years of existence, my Mom never sounded that vulnerable and emotional.

Our companies have faced crisis a couple times but Mom has always been calm and reserved.

She rarely shows her raw emotions.

But today it's different.

For I can feel the sadness and  fear on her voice.

"We need to go to the hospital quick." she uttered hastily as she made her way through my vanity dresser and took a still sealed pack of my anxiety stickers and motion sikcness patch.

"What?"

"What happened? Who's in the hospital?" I asked nervously as I start to get up quickly.
My body starts to fidget and my hands tremble as panic and and anxiety start to consume my whole being. My Mom gently put a couple of motion sickness patch at the back of my ears and some anxiety stickers at my forearm which she covered with the cardigan that she put on me.

"Mom?" I asked nervously at her but Mom just cupped my cheeks and smiled faintly at me.

"I'll explain everything at the car Sweetie." she said assuringly and head out of the room which I instictively followed. I took my phone on the bedside table only to see that I have 25 missed calls from my cousin Irene but there's none from Lisa which is very unusual. I dialled her number and to my utter surprise it was off which worries me even more.
Lisa is the type of person who always calls for update and she rarely turns her phone off especially if she's away from a trip.

I looked at the phone and found out that it's already five in the afternoon. Lisa should be in Busan already by 1 but its five hours already yet she's still not contacting me.

I was about to call her again when my phone suddenly rang.

It was from Irene.

"Unnie?" I answered with my eyebrows furrowed, still perplexed at the amout of missed calls that I got from her.

"Jen! Oh God finally you answered!"

"God I've been calling you the entire day." she shrieked crying from the phone which made me stop from walking.

Everything doesn't feel right that my body starts to shiver and I got goosebumps all over.

"How's Lisa? Did she make it? Please tell me she's all safe Jen?" Irene asked crying from the other line which took me by surprise.

"What do you mean did she make it?"

"What happened Irene?" I asked with my voice cracking from the sobs that's starting to escape from my trembling mouth. I heard Irene got startled for a moment before she answered back.
