The Friday She Promised. | SEULRENE

IV

"Where are you?!" Wendy shouted

"Yah! you're calling home! Do you know what time it is?" I shouted back.

"Unnie I was calling your phone a hundred times already. Then I called at company because I know you'll be there. This is my last resort and finally! *sob" what the!?

"What the heck Wendy! Why are you crying?! I think I left my phone at the office." I face where Seulgi is and she is now giving me that look again. She went closer to where I am but not close enough.

"Why did you left the company that early unnie?*sob" was she that worried of me? and I'm still trying to read this bear's expressions

"Sorry Wendy but Seul--" I can see a tear drop from Seulgi's eye as she signaled me not to finish what I'm about to say. I don't know but I got nervous all of a sudden.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!?" I shouted with my hands gripping the telephone I'm holding. I can see Seulgi's crying already, looking down.

"It's Seulgi, unnie." Wendy told me while still holding her cries.

"What about her?!" I'm still looking at this bear in front of me.

"She got into an accident unnie *sob." Wendy said

"No! Wendy she did not!" I felt my eyes starts to tear up. "What are you talking about!? She's here with me now." I saw the bear shoot up and looked at me "She actually fetched me. So tell me how can she be in an accident?!"

"What?" Wendy's voice shake. "Unnie... Who are you with?" Seulgi is now shaking her head desperately.

"Unnie!?" Wendy shouted.

"Irene unnie! Seulgi unnie is here at the hospital now. She got into a car accident on the way to you. You need to come here now unnie, she needs you." Now Joy's talking at the other line as I heard Wendy finally letting out her cries. I held the hem of Seulgi's shirt now, tears won't stop falling from my eyes now.

"I already told Wendy. Why would I go there if Seulgi--"

"Unnie please! Seulgi unnie is fighting for her life now and I swear to God if you won't come here now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. And I don't want you to resent yourself because of it unnie. *sob Unnie Please." Joy shouted. It's not the first time she rose her voice at me, but it's the first time I heard fear come along with that tone. The line got cut off.

If what they've said was true, then who's this person crying right in front of me now?

"Love" She held out my hands. I know I should be scared by now but I can't.

"Is this some kind of prank Seulgi-yah?" I asked her. "Because if it is, please stop this now." I begged her "Jebal."

She just look at me with that expression again and with all that's happening now, I think I can finally read it, I finally get it.

"No, no, no, no, no" I panicked.

"Please tell me they're lying." I dropped on my knees let out all my cries. "Jebal."

I can feel her hug me.

"Mianhae." When I heard that, I let go of her and faced her.

"Why are you apologizing!? They should apologize! Why would they lie!? You're here with me! Alive!" I shake her.

"Mianhae." I punch her chest as she said sorry again. I grabbed her shirt.

"Jebal!" I shout my cries. "Aaaaaahhh!!!"

She lets me cry out.

"Baechu" when I heard that I faced her.

"If they're not lying, then who are you!?" I shouted. "Why do I feel like you're her?!"
