The sick woman let out a sigh as she moved away from the toilet. She stood up using the sink to lean on as Bada made sure to place a handout in case she lost balance. "Now it all makes sense. Howl came over last night to have dinner and my guess is he added this into my drink or food. When I woke up earlier, I felt dizzy and extremely nauseous. This was bumping heads with my normal prescription." She set the bottle down on the table. She leaned down to the sink turning on the water to wash her face.

Bada turned around to look at Yujin, nudging her to leave the bathroom. She closed the door behind her as Bada took a seat by the edge of the bed. She crossed her arms over her chest thinking about the whole situation. How is it possible that your own brother would go to such an extent? What exactly did he want from her finance? She truly didn't understand any of this or why he's so obsessed with her.

"Should we take her to the hospital? She doesn't look good." The pink haired woman suggested as her eyes remained on the shut door. They could hear the water running from Taeja not only washing her face but also brushing her teeth's. It's true, she wasn't in a good condition at all, but she would rather find Leah than be in a white hospital room. She already knows the procedure and what they would tell her. Nothing could be done apart from waiting twenty-four hours until the pills were out of her system. They would also probably give her some insulin and call it a day. The door swung open revealing the brunette woman who wiped her mouth with a smaller towel. "There's no need. Having a cup of hot boiling black coffee will do. In the meantime, fill me in on what's happening."

They both followed her out into the kitchen where she started to boil some hot water. She grabbed a water bottle from her fridge as Bada started going over the details on what's happened so far. By the time they finished filling her end the kettle had boiled. She powered herself some hot water and mixed in black coffee. She started the liquid loving the smell of it but knowing how disgusting it would taste made her stomach turn.

"How do you know black coffee is going to help?" Yujina asked, she's never heard of such a thing before. It caught her attention that Taeja would even know of such a trick. As far as she knows she doesn't do any drugs let alone smoke cigarettes. Taeja blew into the mug as she brought it closer to her lips, she closed her eyes as she took a huge gulp. She didn't hiss or anything because she's used to the burning sensation. If anything, her nose scrunches hating the bitter taste of it.

Taking another sip from it, her eyes fluttered open as she set it down on the aisle. "I studied abroad in college. An older friend of mine was drugged by some guy who wanted to get into her pants. She had read in an article about the benefits of black coffee. I made her some and around twenty to thirty minutes she was good as new. She told me she didn't feel any pain and the dizziness was gone." Yujin nodded her head as she grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. Without thinking about it she made herself a home knowing the terrible situation they were in. She twisted the lid and took a sip of the water as she thought about what she had just said. Taeja rubbed her face still feeling a bit lightheaded, apart from that she felt fine. She figured the coffee would kick in only in a matter of time. "Anyways, how long has Leah been missing for?"
