[22] Bad News

Minji barged through the door, visibly agitated and furious as she rudely pushed past anyone who attempted to greet her. Yujin observed Minji's behavior with concern before quickly following the angry girl's path toward the machine room.

Yujin's eyes widened in shock as she found Minji powering on a massive contraption. It was unlike anything Yujin had ever seen before, and she had no idea what purpose it served, but the sinister aura it emanated sent chills down her spine. She gulped, imagining all the danger that the machine could have possessed. Lasers? Bombs? Wild bears? Who knows!

"She thinks I'm bad news?" Minji spoke to herself as she irritably typed something into the machine's interface. "Oh, I'll give her bad news."

Alarm bells sounded in Yujin's head as she realized Minji was about to operate the dangerous machine. "What are you doing?" Yujin asked as she ran over to Minji.

"Australia's fucking toast," Minji hissed through clenched teeth as she yanked the lever.

The machine shuddered to life, a low hum filling the air as it began to whir and rattle.

"What's your beef with the Australians?"

"I don't like their attitude!"

"Aw, c'mon! Hanni's Australian!"

"And a cockblock," Minji counters, feeling more annoyed as she recounts the time the girl interrupted her kiss with Danielle.

Yujin heaved a sigh at Minji's impulsive nature and unconventional methods of coping. Here she was, about to potentially cause a global disaster all because of some girl she just met one or two weeks ago.

"Okay, hey," Yujin said firmly, stepping forward to pull the lever, shutting down the ominous machine before guiding Minji towards a nearby couch. With a gentle yet firm tug, she made Minji sit down beside her. "Danielle's Australian too."

Minji exhaled defeatedly. As her anger began to subside, she allowed herself to relax and open up to her friend. "Yuj, I don't know how this happened to me but," Minji took another deep breath, she couldn't believe she was actually about to say these words out loud. "Being bad doesn't feel good anymore," she confessed hesitantly, her demeanor unusually soft and vulnerable.

Yujin hummed as she took in Minji's confession, a moment of thoughtful silence washing over the two.

"Do you love her?"

Minji's expression softened as she silently acknowledged the truth. A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she nodded, her eyes infused with vulnerability and acceptance.

Yujin nodded in understanding, her gaze still locked on Minji's face, searching for any sign of hesitation or uncertainty. "You're willing to give up all this?" she asked with curiosity and care. "The life of crime, the whole nine yards?"

"This is a big deal, Min."

Minji couldn't help but pout at Yujin's questions, her usually stubborn personality crumbled as she wrestled with her own emotions.

"She's my world."

That was all the confirmation Yujin needed to hear as she rose from the couch. "We're going all in."

"What?"

Yujin faced Minji with a determined expression, her eyes shining with determination. She stood tall, her shoulders squared heroically as she affirmed her unwavering support for her friend.

"We have got to get her back!"

Minji watched as Yujin's hand shot up in the air, her warm and encouraging grin lit up the room. Minji's face softened as she gave the latter a grateful smile, her hand meeting Yujin's. She felt the weight of Yujin's steadfast support and knew she had a true friend by her side.

"Whatever it takes!"
