Married In Red #1

(A/N: (Y)Um this has Da Su or whatever their ship name is. They are so toxic yet so lesbian abcdefgh)

It had been over 8 months since Da Jeong had been let out of prison. She had spent 5 years behind bars for the murder of Dan Myeong Hoon. Each day and each second that passed in there was excruciating. To top it all off, she wasn't responsible for his murder, yet she was responsible for another's. Being too embarrassed to go back to her old work place, Da Jeong had resumed her job as a doctor in a new hospital.

It was around 11 p.m at night and her shifts had lasted longer than she would've liked. Da Jeong was hoping to stop by at a restaurant for dinner as she had to restock her kitchen the next day, but thanks to the delay from work she was stuck with going to bed with nothing.

As Da Jeong drove into a small neighborhood that she used as a shortcut to get home faster, she noticed a convenience store right around the corner that never caught her attention until now. She parked her car and headed in to buy herself necessary food items and nothing else. As she entered the store she was met with the cashier who greeted her with a warm welcome. She smiled at him and picked up a basket before exploring the new convenience store.

She went around, filling her basket with all the items she'd need for the next day's lunch. As she walked away from the frozen meat section, her mind wandered off the dinner. She had missed her break due to the delay at work and now she was craving something nice and simple, like instant cup noodles. It's the perfect thing to go home to have after a long day of work.

As Da Jeong walked into the instant food isle, she noticed a familiar fair woman with the same dark hair she remembered from five years ago. Her grip on the basket loosened as she looked at Bok Su's serene expression as she looked through the same section as her. Here, in the same store as her stood Bok Su. Even after all these years, Bok Su hadn't changed much.

"Bok Su?" Da Jeong asked as she walked up to her, "What are you doing here?"

Bok Su seemed startled at Da Jeong's voice. She turned around and eyed Da Jeong before turning back to the instant noodles on the shelves. A small silence fell between the two and Da Jeong stood awkwardly by the noodle section, waiting and hoping that Bok Su would say something.

"I come here often." Bok Su said, breaking the silence. One of her hands occupied with a basket while the other was going through different cups. Her eyes slowly made contact with Da Jeong's before going back to the instant noodle cups, "Should I not be here?"

"No, it's just that it's late at night and you know..." Da Jeong trailed off, walking up next to Bok Su to pick out her own instant noodles.

"I live in this neighborhood." Bok Su said, picking up a packet of instant noodles and inspecting it before putting it back, "I've been living here for the past two years."

There it was again, silence. There wasn't any noise aside from Bok Su shuffling the cups in search for a specific one. The thought of Bok Su even talking to her got Da Jeong's mind reeling as the atmosphere turned oppressive. Da Jeong decided to go back to looking for what she had in mind before her interaction with Bok Su, her BBQ flavored noodles. As she looked through the shelves, her guilt started to return to her, haunting her for her past actions and reminding her of the the lie that broke their perfect friendship. Before she could even compose herself, words had started to slip out of her mouth, surprising her.

"I'm sorry, Bok Su. It wasn't right for me to blame you for something I did." She apologized, looking away from Bok Su, but she felt the other's eyes on her. Silently, Da Jeong picked up a cup of noodles and read the ingredients to distract herself.

"A simple sorry can't fix the damage you've caused, Choi Da Jeong." Bok Su replied, putting back another cup. It seemed like she wasn't in the mood for a conversation.
