Relief, happiness, chaos

  Suddenly, the pain I had been trying to ignore, came back in a flash. I pulled my leg close to my body and hugged it, trying to ease the pain at least a little bit. 

  "Oh shit." Jiyeong mumbled, placing her hand on my knee gently. I started to feel light-headed, but reassured Jiyeong, "It's fine." 

  "No, it's not. I'm going to go get you paper towels from the bathroom."

  My vision flashed in and out as I watched her rush to the bathroom. This may have been the scariest feeling I have experienced yet. The sound of a timer ticking, the blurry view, and the feeling of soon-to-come death. 

  The lights went out, making everything just a touch creepier than it already was. I could not help but panic, my eyes scanning the entire room every two seconds. I cannot die, I will not die, my brother will have nobody by his side if I do. My mother will be stuck in North Korea, and I will not be able to see Jiyeong win. 

  The last one should be the least of my worries, but at the moment it seemed the most important.

  My eyes landed on Sang-Woo who was still seated on his bed, we made eye-contact and stared at each other for a couple seconds. He looked evil. Of course, he always looks evil, but right now was different. His eyes shot daggers at mine, not looking away to even blink, and I could tell he was planning something.

  A million thoughts could be heard, sorting through his head at a very fast pace. In a panic, I watched as he got up out of his bed, and made slow, ominous steps towards me. 

  Shit, shit, shit, shit! We have knives, right? Shit, we have knives! He has a knife!

  I dragged myself out of the bed and searched my pockets for the knife. Limping, I held the knife out in defense, backing up as far as possible from Sang-Woo. 

  "Kang Sae-Byeok," He let out an evil chuckle, approaching even closer to me. "You were destined to die." 

  His steps quickened and he held his knife out, ready to stab me. I fell back onto the floor, flustered with anxiety. This is it; I am going to die and all I can do is crawl back in terror. How unfair this world was, it was all useless, I am dying now anyways. 

  "Sae-Byeok!" I heard a distant voice behind Sang-Woo calling, but it was too late. He had made it to me, his knife right above my chest, ready to end my life at any second. With the strength I had left, I pushed myself further back as Sang-Woo brought the knife down on me. 

  Closing my eyes, I hollered out in pain after realizing what had happened. My body lied limp on the cold, hard tile as I found no force allowing me to move. 

  "Hey, it's ok, I'm here." Jiyeong's soft voice comforted me. Right now, that is all I needed to hear. 

Jiyeong's P.O.V
꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂

  I opened the door to be lobby, running as fast as I could with the paper towels in hand. But I stopped, eyes wide opened with fear.

  "Sae-Byeok!" I yelled and dropped the paper towels. Sang-Woo walked towards her with a knife in hand, looking ready to murder. Absolutely not, I do not think so. 

  I ran towards them, fishing my own knife out of my pocket. But it was too late. Sae-Byeok's desperate holler ran through the lobby, chilling every bone in my body. My anger controlled everything I did next, turning me into a loose cannon. 

  Finally, I made my way to Sang-Woo and did not think twice about forcing my blade down the side of his neck, twisting it and digging it as deep as it could possibly go. Every sound around me blurred out and all I could focus on was the way I felt stabbing Sang-Woo.

  Relief, happiness, chaos, and nostalgia. All the emotions I felt when I had killed my father. The one who had tortured me and the one I loved, just like Sang-Woo had.

  But I do not care about Sang-Woo right now, I care about Sae-Byeok. I let his body fall limp next to me before running over to the shaking Sae-Byeok who looked almost lifeless. "Hey, it's ok, I'm here." I gently spoke while cupping her cheek. Everything in my body physically hurt seeing her like this, and all I wanted was revenge. 

  I scanned her body for the knife wound, and my eyes landed on her leg. 

  Holy shit. I thought in terror. The knife had landed right where her glass wound was, the exact same place. Blood seeped out of it at a fast pace and all I could do was hold onto Sae-Byeok and call for help.
