The Purple Eyes | Kim Seungmin

41

  Miyu took deep breaths, sitting on the floor in front of the mirror.

  She tried her best to meditate, feeling her body relax with each exhale. It was a struggle to relax these days as everyone around her was so unpredictable.

  As she slowly opened her eyes, the reflection of purple caught her off guard. Her eyes shown a deep violet.

  It was the first time she got to see it for herself. It was almost impossible to believe her own sight.

"Unnie." Airi whispered with her head resting on Jinaes chest. The older let out a hum, running a hand through her hair.

"There.. there was something else I saw in my dream.." she admitted. Waiting for the younger to continue, Airi suddenly lifted her head.

"The lady who saved us from the dumpster.. she saved us a few other times too. I think.." she trailed off, second guessing if she was wrong.

"I think it was Byeol."

Jinae lightly smiled. "When Byeol showed up.. she had said she has been there for you guys since day one. It would make sense."

"So then.. do you think Byeol knew my parents?" She laid her head back down, getting more comfortable.

"I'm not sure, baby. I don't exactly see why she would hide something like that."

- two days later

  "I'm glad you guys are okay. You really scared me there for a moment.." Kimiko picked at her food.

  Miyu felt something was off with her behavior today, but she tried her best to brush it off.

  "How has school and work been? It hasn't been too stressful, right?" Airi playfully asked. The older shook her head. "It's pretty boring."

  The usually energetic girl seemed to be drained of energy. As Airi finally picked up on the strange behavior, the sisters shared a glance.

  "Are you doing okay, Kimi?" Miyu softly questioned. Looking as though she could cry at any moment, Kimiko shook her head. "I'm just tired. I'll actually be heading back to my hometown for a bit. It's my father's birthday here soon."

  Airi smiled, assuring that she can get plenty of rest.

Byeol dropped her phone in shock. What does this text mean? Who did it come from?

  Running up to her, Jinae picked up the device.

'One's already dead. Better hurry.'

The twins hurried up to the two girls as Byeol scrambled for Miyus contact.

One ring.. two.. three..

"Seungmin!" Byeol called as he ran up to her, reading the text message. Another message came through with an address. Miyu didn't answer the call as Airi also did not come to the phone.

"I'll go. Keep calling-"

"You'll be ambushed and killed. We need to come up with a plan." Jisung held his arm as Byeol snapped out of it.

  "He is right. Call the others-"

  "I'm sorry you guys." He sighed, teleporting himself away.

  "Shit!" Byeol yelled, running down to the basement. She ran back up with a jacket and a bag. "Jinae, you are coming with me. Boys. Call Bangchan and Minho."
