As Na-Ri stormed out of the men's bathroom, she bumped into someone.
"Sorry," Na-Ri says, looking up to see who she bumped into.
"It's f- why were you in the men's bathroom?" Eun-Yoo asked Na-Ri. "Were you hooking up with someone?" Eun-Yoo covers her mouth in shock.
"What? No, your brother was cleaning me up. See?" Na-Ri says, holding her bandaged arms up.
"My stepbrother, you mean," she says, rolling her eyes. "Well, I'm headed to the rooftop. I really need a fucking cigarette right now."
Without a word, Eun-Yoo walks away from Na-Ri - just like her stepbrother. For a moment, Na-Ri stands in the hallway, confused.
"Yah! You coming?"
* ੈ✩‧₊˚
Both girls stomped up the rusty stairs to the rooftop. Na-Ri had found out that Eun-Yoo was seventeen, she was a ballerina, and her brother was a 'pain in the ass.'
"He didn't seem that bad," Na-Ri says to Eun-Yoo.
"You're only saying that because you don't live with him," Eun-Yoo says, rolling her eyes. "That's why he doesn't have a girlfriend. He's so annoying."
Na-Ri smiled when Eun-Yoo mentioned Eun-Hyuk was single. Maybe she did have a chance. The pair of girls continue to walk up the steps and chat until she sees a familiar person also stomping up the stairs.
"Mister! It's me! Na-Ri!" Na-Ri shouts, running up the steps. Sang-Wook stops in his tracks and looks back at Na-Ri.
"What are you doing up here, kid?" Sang-Wook says, surprised to see the girl.
"Me and Eun-Yoo are going up for a smoke. Wanna come with us?" Na-Ri asked cheerfully.
Sang-Wook doesn't answer and begins to walk away.
"Mister! How are you feeling after that man tased you?" Na-Ri says, rushing to keep up with him.
"Fine."
"I could get Eun-Hyuk to cl-"
"Do you feel like biting into people and tearing them apart?" Eun-Yoo asks intruptening Na-Ri. "It's ok. This stays between us. We've killed together."
Na-Ri rolls her eyes Eun-Yoo commment. She didn't do shit.
"Shut the hell up or go downstairs," Sang-Wook says to Eun-Yoo.
Na-Ri looks at Eun-Yoo from beside Sang-Wook and sticks her tongue out.
"I'd be fucking embarrassed if I turned into something like that," Eun-Yoo says, turning to talk to Sang-Wook.
"I'd kill you if you turned," Sang-Wook says, stopping to face Eun-Yoo. He turned and grabbed her wrists. "You got clean up?"
"Yep!" Na-Ri says with a bright smile. Sang-Wook nods and pats her shoulder. The man remained as Eun-Yoo and Na-Ri walked up the steps.
"Bye, Mister," Na-Ri says, waving to Sang-Wook with a smile. The man awkwardly waves back before both girls leave his slight line.
"Bye, kid."

CHK CHK CHK
"Shit!" Eun-Yoo sighs. Her lighter had run out of fluid. Eun-Yoo groans and chucks the lighter off the roof.
"Here," Na-Ri says as she hands Eun-Yoo her cowboy boot lighter. Eun-Yoo takes the golden boot and plays it.
"This is so silly," Eun-Yoo says with a cigarette between her lips.
CHK!
Eun-Yoo passes a cigarette and the lighter to Na-Ri. The sixteen-year-old girl gladly takes it and lights her own. Na-Ri French inhaled her cigarette and turned to look at the rooftop.
"It's huge up here," Na-Ri says, getting up from the ledge.
"That's why I practice ballet up here," Eun-Yoo says, taking another drag from her cigarette.
Na-Ri giggles and spins on her heels, letting the smoke-filled air strike her face. Na-Ri felt like a fairy.
There's too much trash up here, though," Eun-Yoo says, pointing behind them with her cigarette.
Na-Ri giggles and hops off the ledge, walking over to the pile. Her eyes scan the mountain of junk until they find a pair of black circular glasses. She puts them on her face and sits next to Eun-Yoo again.
"How do I look?"
"Sexy."
The two girls break into a fit of laughter. The rooftop was filled with waves of laughter coming from the girls. They enjoyed each other company. The laughter is broken by a wheezing cough coming from Eun-Yoo. The duo look at each other for a second until bursting out laughing again.
"You should really quit smoking," Na-Ri says in between laughs. "You already have smoker cough!"
"Gosh, you sound like my brother," Eun-Yoo says, blowing on a piece of hair that fell on her face. The girls stopped laughing, and the playful air became slightly tense.
Both girls drop their cigarettes on the group and extinguish them. "I'm telling you, he's the most annoying person to walk the Earth. He's so lame. Plus, he's constantly nagging me about dumb shit. I hate him."
"I mean, he's family. Besides, I think Eun-Hyuk cares about you a lot," Na-Ri says, adjusting her sunglasses. Eun-Yoo lets out a shaky sigh and looks down at her hands.
"I don't know why I'm this way. I was the one that killed them," Eun-Yoo says, fiddling with her fingers.
"What do you mean?" Na-Ri asks, turning towards the girl.
"I was the reason why our parents died...." Na-Ri watched the girl as she continued to open up. "We're not even blood-related, but he dropped out of school so I could study ballet. He's crazy, really fucking crazy," Na-Ri noticed her eyes became red and glossy. Eun-Yoo bit her lip and rubbed her eyes, trying to control her tears. "I ruined his life," she says with a final voice crack.
Without warning, Na-Ri hugs Eun-Yoo. The seventeen-year-old girl instantly hugged back, and Na-Ri could hear sniffles coming from Eun-Yoo. The pair stayed engulfed in a hug for a while, letting the cooler breeze hit them. Little did they know this was just the beginning of a life-long friendship.
