Housemates [ Jeongmo | Jeongmi | Sachaeng ]

9- Fall

Jeongyeon and Momo sat on the couch. The latter couldn't look at anything but Jeongyeon. She never knew what missing someone felt like until Jeongyeon was gone for a while. The latter kept talking about her fun adventures in the Philippines until she snapped her fingers "oh, wait. I brought you something" she said rushing to her room and Momo can only smile as Jeongyeon's existence bring her peace and joy.

Jeongyeon came back holding a plastic bag. She rubbed her nape nervously "I hope you will like it"

Momo couldn't stop smiling as she looked through the gifts. Popular sweets include Polvoron which is crunchy and crumbly, Choc Nut bars powdery chocolate and a nut candy bar, and pastillas de Leche sweet and soft milk candies.

"I know you are into fashion so I brought you this bag and look inside of it"

Momo compiled and she saw a black jewelry velvet box. She opened it and her mouth hung open "Jeongyeon" she couldn't have any other words to say as she saw a pearl necklace.

"Philippines is known as Pearl of the Orient Sea because of the elegant organic beauty it contained. When I saw this necklace it reminded me of you"

Momo was smiling as she wore it.

"Thank you so much, it means a lot to me" Momo expressed, she looked down sadly and avoided Jeongyeon's soft stares.

"Are you okay? You seem sad" said the latter and Momo can only nod. "I'll sleep right now, have a nice day"

Momo hummed and watched Jeongyeon enters her room.

Meanwhile, unlike Jeongyeon's calm day Chaeyoung was waiting outside the warehouse inside her car. A few men were switching shifts and chatting. It was the right moment for her to enter through the opened window. She jumped in and held her phone. She was filming everything. The drugs, guns, and money stacks. She was terrified of what she is witnessing.

"Hey~" a young voice called from her left. Chaeyoung turned on the flashlight and gasped at what she saw "save us" the girl begged with tears. A cage room with three kids in it. Chaeyoung shook the door to make it open but she failed as it was locked. The room was dark and she can see how hungry and scared the kids were.

"WHO ARE YOU~!" a guy hollered at her. Chaeyoung ran back to the window but this time more than three men followed her. The kids cried for help and prayed that Chaeyoung would help them. The latter got into her car, with shaking hands she started the car and drove off followed by two vans. She held her phone and sent the videos to the drive she and Jeongyeon shared for work afraid that she will lose the videos and her life.

"Come ooon~" she cursed. She gulped as the three cars kept following her and surrounding her on the highway. She dialed Sana's number "Hello Chaengie" the latter answered in no time.

"I am telling you this because I don't know if I will be alive in the next few minutes but I like you"

"What? Where are you Chaeyoung?" Sana shivered.

Chaeyoung gritted her teeth as she was on verge of tears "goodbye" she hung up and turned the steering wheel to the right, entering the strange forest. She lost control of the steering wheel as her car wasn't suitable for these kinds of bumpy roads. The car hit the tree and Chaeyoung's head bumped into the steering wheel. She groaned as a cut formed on her forehead but it wasn't the right time for her to whine.

The three vans stopped behind her cars and five men got off. One of them approached Chayeoung who already left her car "you messed with the wrong men little girl"

Meanwhile...

Jeongyeon was in deep sleep when her phone couldn't stop vibrating. She cursed the caller before answering.
