Jiwon grinned as she came up behind you and wrapped her arm around your shoulder. "Ready for our mall adventure, dongsaeng~?" She asked.
You smiled back and nodded.
In celebration of you passing all of your final exams, Jiwon wanted to treat you to anything you wanted, and you decided on shopping. You love shopping with her. Oftentimes, you're unsure of what to get, but as your big sister, Jiwon always knows what you'd like, so you usually just let her choose stuff for you.
"Then let's go!" She exclaimed, dragging you out of the house and to the car after grabbing your things. You giggled at her excitement.
ᯓ
Ten minutes later, you arrived at the shopping mall. You and Jiwon come here quite often-any chance you can get, really-whether it be to buy clothes, an assortment of candy, or simple little trinkets.
Jiwon was like a child pumped full of sugar as she grabbed your hand and skipped into the mall with you in tow.
"Where do you wanna start first, Gom-ah?" She asked, looking back at you curiously.
You thought for a moment.
"Oh, how about Boksung-a?"
Boksung-a is a shop that you and Jiwon really love going to. They sell cute knick knacks and baubles.
Jiwon nodded, and the two of you ventured off in the direction of the desired store.
For the next two hours, the two of you walked around the mall, simply enjoying each other's presence and company (and, of course, buying things). You love hanging out with the older.
You were now standing in an aisle of a clothing store, skimming over a selection of sweaters. Jiwon was somewhere in another aisle, looking at skirts.
All of a sudden, you heard a clap of thunder. Then, the lights went out in an instant. Just like that, you were rendered unable to see in the dark store. It was so dark that you couldn't even see the rack in front of you. What's worse is that you left your phone with Jiwon, and now you don't know which direction is which and how to get to her.
Being terrified of the dark definitely wasn't helping your situation.
In a matter of seconds, you were on the floor, several tears rapidly rolling down your cheeks as you began hyperventilating.
"Unnie!" You called out loudly. Your voice trembled and was thick with fear. You were beyond scared right now, though. You just wanted to go home now.
"Yoonah?" You heard Jiwon respond. She didn't sound too far, which was good.
You spotted a light source a few feet away from you, and you were relieved to see Jiwon emerge from behind a rack. As soon as the light from her phone's flashlight hit you and she caught sight of you, she ran to you and immediately crouched down beside you.
"Yoonah! Thank god! Are you okay, dongsaeng?" She questioned.
You frantically shook your head. Although she had brought light with her, just the fact that you're aware that everywhere else around you is pitch black scared you to the core and had you on edge. You felt sick to your stomach.
Jiwon noticed your pale complexion and wrapped her arm around you. She held you tightly, wordlessly telling you that she was going to hold you and not let go until this was over.
"I've got you, Yoogomi, don't worry. Unnie's here. I'm here. You're safe," she murmured in your ear.
You buried your face in her shoulder, still crying somewhat loudly. She placed her phone down on the ground and then began to rub your back soothingly. The action eventually had your cries reduced to sniffles.
After a moment, you lifted your head to look at her. She grinned and wiped your tears with her sleeve, before ruffling your hair. You smiled softly in response.
All of a sudden, you heard a loud noise, and then, the lights came back on. You nearly squealed with joy, but refrained from doing so.
Jiwon stood up first and offered you her hand, to which you held to stand up as well. Once you were on your feet, Jiwon pulled you into a tight embrace.
