Dark Side | Sweet Home

Old Memories

Youngji POV

"Ji-ah come get some water, you look pale" Mimi worries as soon as I sit beside her "Should I get you a sausage? You loved sausages when we were kids"

"Maybe later. I just want to sit with you" I rest my head on her shoulder "I'm so glad you and mum are okay, I was so worried"

"Me too, thinking of you out there, it must've been so scary" she rests her head on mine "but I've actually been helpful. When I lived here I always felt so useless, even a little in America when I got there. But I've helped Eunhyuck a lot while you've been gone, it's what stopped me from breaking not having you here"

"Yah Mimi you've always helped me. You turned every bad day into a bright one, so I'm not surprised you've done so well" I smile

"Thanks sis" she chuckles before her voice weakens "do you think dad is okay?"

"Dad?" I worry glancing over to mum across the room "you know dad, he was a military man of course he's fine"

"You're right" she wraps her arms around me taking a deep breath to relax.

"Mi what jobs can I do to help too? I'm feeling restless again" I state

"Oh, you've been so busy, doing nothing must be unsettling. Let's go find Eunhyuck" Mimi jumps up causing me to nearly fall, we then go searching for him.

"Have you guys dropped formalities already? He still has me call him oppa" I ask her

"Why? Are we not the same age? I assumed we were" Mimi looks at me with shock, her cheeks becoming red

"No he's 22 I believe so he's a year older" I laugh "yeah I think that's right causes he's like 2 years older than me"

"Oh damn, I should've asked" she worries with her face blushing more when we suddenly hear arguments, were we peek over the corner to see Yi-kyung and Eunhyuck together.

"Are you playing with people's lives?" Yi-kyung snaps

"Then who should've I sent?" Eunhyuck replies "it was the best option, we need the man in 1408, and I've decided not to hesitate any longer. Let go"

"I'm sure there's another way besides using other people" Yi-kyung states

"What I'm using is golden hour" Eunhyuck fixes his clothes and goes to wash his hands "Cha Hyunsu was critical, but he woke up in just a few hours. If willpower can affect the turning stage, he can fight then he will be the strongest weapon we have"

"This is what we call a weapon" the women pulls out her own knife "he's still human"

"I agree. For now" he replies

"He's using Hyunsu" I state to Mimi

"He's doing what is needed for all of us to survive" Mimi responds

"Don't let whatever crush you have on him cloud your judgement Mimi" I scoff

"My feeling aren't clouding anything" she remarks without thinking, shocking herself and I look at her with mild disbelief but her face turns to worry as I feel blood trickle down my face and she rushes me into the women's toilets and into a stall. "No no no not you"

"This one is from stress" I note, seeing it's not bad "your new bud using my new bud as a weapon while the world is fucked is surprisingly stressful"

"Are you sure?" She asks cleaning my face

"Yes. I've been getting them for 3 to 4 years now" I chuckle

"Oh phew" she sighs before realisation kicks in "this one? Have you had monsterous nosebleeds?"
