consequences of memories

Jang Wonyoung's POV

The moment I got the text messages, I knew in my guts that something bad was about to happen. And I should've known... but here we are, inside Minju Unnie's closet watching the CCTVs as armed men surrounded the beach area where Yena Unnie, Hyewon Unnie, Sakura Unnie, Eunbi Unnie, and Chaewon Unnie are.

The moment we saw them circling the area where the other girls are, I couldn't move. Voices in my head became so loud that I wasn't able to function well anymore.

My Unnies... My poor Unnies are still outside.

But my heart almost stopped beating when all the CCTVs stopped working. That can't be, we need those CCTVs.

"Minju Unnie, what happened?" I asked her, she hurriedly tried to fix the CCTVs because we couldn't see the others anymore.

But as Minju Unnie tried to fix it, multiple gunshots were fired. And with that, my whole body drops into a pool of emotional outbursts. My Unnies... My Unnies are there...

"NOOOOO."

Thankfully, Yuri Unnie caught me before I could hit the ground.

"Wonyoung!" Yujin Unnie ran to me, and in her arms, I cried. I cried for my friends... My Unnies.

Though still under great pressure, I noticed how Hitomi Unnie remained composed. She was thinking.

So I did too. If I want to see all my friends alive, I need to think too.

C'mon Jang Wonyoung, you're first in class. Think of something!

Phones... Yes, the phones!

I checked my pockets to see if I had my phone but I didn't. I cursed myself as I remembered how we all had our phones on the table and then the next thing we knew we were running away.

"Unnies, did any of you bring your phones?" I asked them. They all hastily looked for their phones and one by one, their faces dropped.

They... left theirs too.

And within a second, my hopes of saving my friends were gone like the soft breeze on a sunny day.

I felt like giving up, "I have mine." Hitomi Unnie said.

And with three words, my hope was restored.

My eyes lit up as I watched Hitomi Unnie taking her phone out, "Oh, and I bought your phones too."

She took out six more phones, putting all of them on the table where the computers are. Minju Unnie, who was fixing the CCTVs, looks at Hitomi Unnie and gives her a thumbs up.

Hitomi Unnie shrugs as she turned her attention to me, "Alright, boss baby, what's your plan?"

Plan? Oh, my only plan is to save my friends, at all costs.

"Can any of you try to call them? We have to know if they're still alive."

They were listening to me.

"On it, I'll contact all of the—." Our eyes grew bigger when we saw Chaeyeon Unnie snatching Nako Unnie's phone, "Hey, Chaeyeon Unnie, why?"

Chaeyeon Unnie didn't talk, we watched her calmly putting the phone on the table.

Livid, Hitomi Unnie ran towards Chaeyeon Unnie.

"What are you doing?!"

It's the first time I've seen Hitomi Unnie lose her cool. She was about to get closer but Yujin Unnie stopped her, "Hitomi Unnie, calm down. Listen to her first."
