Opposites Attached

The Awkward Roomies

Jeongyeon picked up her phone when it rang for the third time that morning, which woke her up from the peaceful sleep she was having. After waking up at eight, she got a message in her campus group that due to some emergencies there won't be any classes that day, which made the hockey player go back to sleep.

"Hello..." Jeongyeon placed the phone to her ear and replied groggily.

"Jeongyeon-ah....are you alright?" The worried voice of her mother woke up Jeongyeon quicker than a cup of coffee. She bolted in an upright position and sat up on the bed rubbing the sleep off her eyes.

"Eomma....what happened? Why are you calling..." Jeongyeon briefly looked at the clock and the time was only nine in the morning." at this time?".

"Thank God...you are alright. I was scared when I heard about the news..." Her mother went a mile over the phone, clearly scared.

"Eomma...slow down..what news are you talking about ?" Jeongyeon asked as calmly as possible.

"The dead girl of course." Her mother replied as if Jeongyeon knew everything.

"Dead girl? Which dead girl?" Jeongyeon asked confused as hell.

She could hear her mother saying something to her sisters but she couldn't make it. The next thing she knew was her sister was on the line.

"Jeongyeon-ah, didn't you know? A girl was found dead in the dorm this morning. Eomma is worried. She wants to come over there to see you." Her eldest sister Seung-yeon replied.

"Unnie...actually I didn't know. I just woke up. Me and Jihyo had practice last night and we came pretty tired." Jeongyeon omitted the part where they went out to party and got drunk.

"Alright, I will let Eomma know that. Stay safe Jeongyeon-ah, we don't know what happened. Eomma and Appa are very much worried. We are too. Let me know if you get any information. And stay out of trouble. Call me later okay." Seung-yeon unnie disconnected the call after a while.

Jeongyeon agreed to call her sister when she know more about the incident. She promised her mother that she will stay out of trouble and call her back later.

Jeongyeon quickly got up from her bed and freshened up. She needed to know what happened.

******************************************************
Jeongyeon decided to go to Jihyo's room which was three room next to hers. When she stepped out of the room, she saw the hallway filled with students. Some were gathered by their doors exchanging conversations.

As Jeongyeon walked, she found the school meal club kids, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu and Dahyun standing by the corner looking ahead of them. She followed their line of sight and found police officers questioning students.

"Hey guys." Jeongyeon greeted them once she was near.

"Jeongyeon unnie .." Dahyun replied and nudged others to inform of her presence.

"Hey Dahyun, what's happening over there?" Jeongyeon pointed at the police officer questioning the students.

"Unnie ..you don't know?" Chaeyoung asked surprised.

"I don't know what? " Jeongyeon asked once again confused.

"One of our seniors was found dead in her dorm room this morning. She lives on the floor above us." Tzuyu informed seriously.

"Really? How?" Jeongyeon was surprised to find something like this could happen in their dorm.

"No idea. Some say that she might have commited suicide. Others say...somebody murdered her." Dahyun whispered the last part to Jeongyeon.
