PEACE

CHAPTER 4: PRESSURE

Everything in the world of giving justice was a do or die, it was either the person who commit the crime who needed to suffer or the one who served the justice, it wasn't a fair world after all, a game of Russian roulette were both of the players were confused and afraid whether the both of them would live or not.

--

Everything were playing definitely as if things were about to happen in just a snap of their own fingers, their hands intertwined, their head leaning to each other, happy? Of course, there's nothing that could brake those smiles that would be automatically drawn to their lips whenever they were in each other's sides. Who wouldn't be? If that person you love was the one who showed the affection you always craved for.

"Hey." She whispered to the woman who was slowly falling down to her chest as they watched the sunset. It was Sunday, tomorrow would be the day that Seulgi was afraid of, the day were she needed to let go of her, physically, it wasn't that sort of a big deal for her, not at all, but still, living a complete year without her love was like having a complete life under the shipwreck, it was nothing but hopelessness but she have too, no matter how much she asked Him for her to stay there with her, she have to accept that fact she had to go, Seulgi did not want to be selfish after all.

"Yeah?" The woman answered in a whisper as she played her hands that is bound to the younger's, she was an open person, she wasn't even afraid of saying it to the people that the person next to her was the first person she felt the essence of love, of course it might have sound silly but it was the truth. Irene did not want to admit at first but it ended up to be a three years and counting relationship with the younger. The senior looked at the monolid eyed woman as she showed her the priceless piece she ever had.

"I know, this might sound cringe for you but this was given by my mother before she passed away, it was set to locate my place, it was also the thing who helped me when I was younger when I accidentally got lost, it's always been with me and I think someone needed it for future use, please take care of that one, you can keep it, just please don't lose it, maybe someday, if things wouldn't seemed to be okay, you can find me there, maybe waiting for you."

"Why are you saying things like that?" Joohyun looked at her, it wouldn't be their last good bye but the woman seemed to act strange she did not like it, the way she spoke had given her goosebumps she wasn't supposedly be feeling right now, the strange feeling of abandonment was always there with her and she hoped that Seulgi wouldn't do that to her.

Of course, Seulgi wouldn't do that. It was her who did.

"Are you saying that you're breaking up with me?" The woman caressed her cheek as if she was automatically asking for her to stay.

"Why would I? I just felt the gut of giving this to you, who knows, if someday, sometime, things wouldn't be placed right, Seoul is a big city, there would be a lot of people you will be able to meet one day, I trust you more than the way I trusted myself but Hyun, I don't trust temptation, that thing is always there and I, myself wouldn't be able to stop that. If things messed up in the future don't forget about me, this piece of memory would be there to store everything that had happened to us,"

"Seul..."

"And hopefully, things wouldn't disappear so as the way you love me."

"Unnie." A light tap from her shoulder had awoken her up from her dreamland, Irene opened her eyes to look at her friend still half asleep with her hand handing her phone. "Your phone had been ringing for the nth time this night, can you please answer it?" She asked half annoyed, the woman abruptly took her phone from the younger as she stood up to go out of her friend's apartment.
