[Minji's POV]

We woke up pretty tired, we showered together, i wasn't in a mood to have sex, she was.

After i told her to not try to have sex with me, she stopped.

Then she started acting goofy, because she thought i was in a bad mood and i actually was.

It has been two years now for Mirae to die and we still cannot figure out who did it.

My blood boils thinking about Mirae and how she died, she was stabbed repeatedly over her shoulder, abdomen, thighs, ankles.

What my mom said is correct, Mirae must've cried, she must've called for me, her screams would've echoed in that place.

And i just realised, i haven't cried for her in front of anyone, i don't want to show whoever it is to think that i am weak and they can go on.

That person is definitely in my contact, there's no way Mirae got murdered by a random stranger.

She had bodyguards and she told the bodyguards to not follow her like dad said, it means it was someone she knew! That's why she didn't needed bodyguards...

"Bodyguards..."

Yoohyeon saw Minji whispering, "What? Bodyguards what?" She asked with a smile.

"Nothing... I was thinking about Mirae..." Minji whispered with a sigh in the end.

"Do you want to visit her grave?" Asked Yoohyeon, turning the tap off.

"I don't know..." Minji whispered, "I promised myself, i won't visit her unless i find her murderer...-"

"What!?" Yoohyeon whisper-yelled, "Did you attend her funeral?" Asked the silver haired girl gently holding her wrists.

"No..." Minji replied in a weak voice, regretting her action.

"Minji... Are you serious?"

"Yeah... I know, i should've been there but i couldn't! I was in the states and i didn't know she died, i was informed about her death, after her funeral..." The purple haired girl spoke, her voice started breaking in the end, she blinked her eyes holding back the tears.

"Okay..." Yoohyeon whispered raising her hands in the mid-air, "It's okay..." She whispered, she gently wrapped her hands around Minji's waist and pulled her closer, letting Minji rest her forehead over her shoulder, "Minji it is okay to cry. I won't judge you..." She whispered, comforting Minji.

Yoohyeon knew Minji didn't like showing her vulnerable side, she was scared of the judgements. The exterior she built for the people to see, was the reason why she couldn't cry in front of the people.

They would judge her, her image of being strong wouldn't last long.

She has been judged before by her mother for crying.

She has always been judged for being weak before she actually followed her father's path.

Whenever she used to cry, there would be atleast one person to judge her.

She had closed off herself emotionally for a long time, including during her sister's death. She didn't shed a single tear.

The fear of people judging her scared her, she didn't wanted to be the same Minji again, the one with no courage, no strength and filled with alot of vulnerability.
