03. Thinking about the honey girl

"No matter where it is! RUN AND DON'T GET CAUGHT BY THE POLICE!"

Jeonggoo leaves in a hurry, not seeing where the rest of the gang is going. Just runs away. Ignores the pain he feels, his eyesight dims at times and it's hard to keep going. crosses streets, alleys, bumps into people, everything! She manages to reach a route of people with more economic power and only then stops hearing the police siren. She is a winner in that aspect. Gasps and drops softly into the corner.

She is so tired and the adrenaline is wearing off so can't stand the pain to get up early and go to the meeting point. Jeonggoo lies there for almost two hours, falling asleep from time to time, her whole body throbbing. People pass by without wanting to pay attention to her. They know she's there, they know she's bad and they don't know why.

Even so, no one helps her. They pass her by the whole time Jeonggoo is lying there. Until someone else walks by, but comes back to offer her a hand.

"Nah, what a bummer. She sure is a frigid piece of shit. I don't know how much insis- Jeonggoo- I-It hurt-"

"Don't provoke her too much Mingyu, she'll send you to the afterlife in one fist" Scoffs a teenager lighting up a cigarette. "Besides, it's her problem to mess with or with a prude."

Jeonggoo turns away in annoyance, adjusts the high ponytail she wears and climbs the somewhat rickety stairs of the space they occupy. It's an abandoned skate park. There was a tremor, the pavement opened up and in the end they left it like that. It isn't uncommon to write it off as a common place for gang members, drug addicts, criminals, etc. Jeonggoo makes it all the way to the dressing room and passes by without knocking, lying down on the makeshift bed and indifferent to what was about to happen there.

"Is it that I can't even fuck in peace?"

"Nope. It's your fault for creating emotional dependence on me." Jeonggoo replies. The female giggle makes her turn the head.

A tall, peach-skinned woman sits on the bed. She arranges her bra and pushes her hair back with the right hand. The right side of her head is shaved and hair is painted purple. Jeonggoo makes a distinct pout before receiving a small slap that forces her to sit up.

"Stop looking at my girlfriend's tits. If that's what you wanted, go find Ryujin. I'm sure she'll be happy to let you do whatever you want to her."

"Jin, relax."

"I'm not relaxing! You're leaving me half-assed because of this girlthatIdon'trememberatwhatpointweadoptedifIevenwanttoadoptherandIwanttotakeherbacksoshe'llletmedomything!"

Jin starts laughing at the same time as the two in the room. Jeonggoo wrinkles her nose and sways in herself. Jeonggoo knows he's not serious. It does annoy him a little that he interrupts them, but it's not real contempt. Jeonggoo observes for a few moments the third person and Jin's girlfriend: Namkyung. She's eighteen years old, younger than Jin and taller than him. Nothing to bother him. On the contrary, he seems quite happy that his girlfriend is more muscular and taller than him. Jeonggoo admits that her attraction to women came about because of Namkyung.

She has known her almost forever. Doesn't even take into account how she got to know them both to begin with.

"Trouble with the healing fairy again?" snaps Namkyung, lighting a cigarette. "You're expecting too much of something that's not going to work." Jeonggoo shakes the smoke out with his hand.

"It can work! She keeps talking to me. It must be a sign, right?" replies Jeonggoo uncertainly.

"It can" Corresponds Jin who lights the cigarette with Namkyung's cigarette. "As long as you don't ruin it. Listen, she's a spoiled brat. They spook easy."
