Don't Let Me Let You Go

Chapter 11

Loud knocking woke Byul up. She groggily walked to the door and opened it to find Yongsun and Wheein outside the apartment.

"Guys, it's like ten A.M.! What the hell?!" she groaned.

"Why didn't you answer my texts last night, unnie?! I thought that something bad had happened to you!" Wheein said.

"Seriously?" Byul sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "I just fell asleep while we were texting. I'm completely fine."

"You are?" Wheein asked, guiltily looking to the side.

Yongsun rolled her eyes. "Wheein dragged me here, telling me that it was vital that we check up on you."

"Well, I was just worried. Can I not be worried for her?" Wheein defended herself.

"Right. She was 'just worried'." Yongsun said sarcastically, making apostrophe signs with her fingers. " When I told her that I had a morning class and I couldn't come, I believe her exact words were, 'Yongsun unnie, if we don't go check up on Byul unnie right now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!' and 'How can you be so heartless?!'"

Wheein's face reddened in embarrassement. "I'm sorry."

Byul chuckled. "It's okay. Come on in, since you're already here."

Wheein smiled and pushed an annoyed Yongsun inside. Byul ordered some breakfast for all of them, and they sat down together at the dining room table.

"So, Byul unnie, you went to work yesterday?" Wheein asked while chewing on a pancake.

"Wheein, please don't talk with your mouth full, but yeah, I did go to work. And my boss had found out about the vamipre thing. She scolded me for not telling her about it too."

Wheein laughed at the clear annoyment in Byul's voice. "You never let yourself get scolded by anyone."

Byul sighed, dramatically hanging her head down in fake desperation. "I know. It's so annoying."

"So, what did you think about the thing I told you from the footage?" Wheein asked, choosing to ignore Byul's dramatics, otherwise the conversation wouldn't progress.

"Ah, that." Byul looked up. "I have an idea of who it could be."

"You do?!" Yongsun and Wheein said in unison.

"I'm not sure, though. It's just a guess. I don't even think it's right, but I'm still going to ask him about it today."

"What the hell, Byul?! That's so stupid! The guy wants to harm you and you're going to talk to him?!" Yongsun exclaimed.

Byul waved her off. "If he wanted to kill me he could've killed me a long time ago. It can't be him."

"I'm going with you." Wheein said.

"There's no need-"

"I am going."

Byul rolled her eyes. "Fine."

"Should I go with you guys, too?" Yongsun asked.

"No, unnie. You have a class like in an hour, remember? I'll go and protect Byul unnie." Wheein answered.

"Alright. But be careful and don't let Byul out of your sight. She's always getting hurt or in trouble."

"I'll be the best bodyguard ever. You don't need to worry."

Byul, who had been sourly watching their conversation, groaned. "I hate being babysitted! I'm not a kid!"

Wheein laughed. "Well, unnie, sometimes you just have to let others take care of you."
