Insomnia's Perspective | The Results

        The drive to the office of the police was fun yet still tainted with tension and strictness. The six people in the car, which was Jiu's, tried so much to lessen the stress and fear that Sua had as they approach closer and closer to the place in where Seonghwa resided.

            At the driver's seat sat Jiu, beside her was Yoohyeon in the passenger's seat. Behind them were Sua, Siyeon and Dami. At the very back was Gahyeon and Handong, who were closely seated with one another. Sua was at the center, with her right leg bouncing and her fingers moving against each other.

         This was the cause of the tension. Underneath all the talks of fun and first meetings, their eyes would always go back to the dancer who's identity was shattering because of a man. Siyeon drew her hair back slightly as she glanced at the girl beside her worriedly. She leaned closer to Sua's ear.

“ Are you okay? Are you still up for it? It's not too late to head back to the house, we can just watch a movie or eat. We can do whatever you want. As long as you're happy. ” She whispered as she placed her hand on Sua's knee, offering her utmost support.

Hearing her words, Sua chuckled, her fear and tension lessening.

“ I am — I am definitely not okay but I have to do this. How I wish I could be with you, and the girls. To just watch a movie or eat, basically have fun with each other. But how can I ever be happy knowing that any moment, any day, my tormentor, my abuser is walking around still believing that he can do whatever he want with me. To be happy, I have to be safe. ”

Her words and her explanation wasn't said quietly or softly so that Siyeon would be the only one to hear it. It was said for all of them to hear. The fun sizzled down and as they grew closer, they became serious. They were there to support and say whatever needs to be said. To offer evidence.

“ And we're with you, Bora-ah. ” Jiu told her long time friend.

“ Yeah! Us together versus that guy? He doesn't stand a chance. He'll be out of your life in no time. For good. ” Yoohyeon spoke with positivity gleaming through her voice and her face as she grinned so wide that she was like the sun. With her bright blonde hair, and eyes that smiled along with her mouth.

‘ Glorious ’ Jiu thought to herself, smiling more as she sees the smile of Yoohyeon. Same as everyone else.

Soon enough, their smiles dropped seeing as they have arrived.

“ It's okay, whatever happens, I'm with you.” Siyeon expressed as she held Sua's hand and together, they took deep breaths and prayed that everything would go well.

“ Let's go. ”

°~°

“ You are not hearing me! I told you for like how many times, what happened was not my fault. It was that boy and that masked woman. I was there because my girlfriend had not been at our home for quite a while. That's why! When I saw her with another man, I punched that guy because I thought he was doing something harmful to my girlfriend. ”

Those were the words they heard as they stepped foot into the place where they had detained Seonghwa and was currently interrogating him.

Siyeon's ears perked up at that and she was angered and shocked at his blatant lies.

‘ Who does this guy think he is? The president of South Korea? ’ She thought as her hands formed into fists. Her eyes glanced at Jiu who was accompanying Sua and her. Seeing the twitch in her face and the furrowed eyebrows, the frown on her lips.
