Yeon-Hwa's POV.
Steam covered the mirrors and walls of the tiled bathroom walls. I could not appreciate the warm embrace of the relaxing bath as the gruesome event of earlier played in my head over and over again.
I'm afraid.
The last thing I remembered was getting really angry, and the following events were nothing but a dark fog. It was as if I woke up from a dream when I saw blood on my hands. However. that's not even the worst part, in my hands was a half-eaten heart. The flavor of which never left my tongue.
The death of Hae-rin enrages and saddens me at the same time. I could not protect her till the end. I was too weak, or rather perhaps I did not try hard enough to save her. That, I absolutely loathe myself for. But killing her killer, and consuming her does not make two wrongs right. Eun-ji behaved monstrously, but so did I, perhaps even worst. I became the monster I feared.
I am terrified. I am terrified of what I am capable of every time I lose my temper. What if the next time this happens, someone dear to me dies? I need to get out of here —were the thoughts running through my head.
But how could I just leave? Gwi-nam is an unstoppable force, hungry for vengeance. Nothing in this world would convince him to withdraw his plans. He is determined.
(A/N: All of this for an eyeball. HAHA)
But, I could still try right?
I twisted the shower knob, preparing to leave the shower area, when I felt a sharp, painful movement in my abdomen area.
I felt the bathroom walls closing in on me, as the room in my vision started moving.
"No. That's... not possible."
Paranoid, I started thinking of reasons why 'that' is out of the possibilities.
I had a birth control shot not so long ago. This.. does not make sense!
I felt whatever it is in my belly moving again, but more gently this time. It is definitely alive.
I rummaged through the cabinets to look for a pregnancy test. I thanked the Gods that Gwi-nam was not in the room this time or he would definitely be suspicious of my behavior.
