Girl Who Cried Wolf

Tournament

SinB and Umji enjoyed their food and then decided to take a walk around the park. They kind of lost track of time and before they knew it, it was already dark.

"Umji?..."

"Yes, Eunbi?"

"Do you ever wonder what life would be like if we weren't werewolves? What would you do? Would we be different? Maybe it's just fate...does it make us special or monsters? I still haven't come to accept myself yet." She confessed.

"You just have to live life to the fullest, SinB, no matter what life throws at you. Being a werewolf doesn't make us any different than others. Yes we may be different in things such as strength and smell but we're still human too. We still live or everyday lives...well most of the time we do."

"Thank you, Umji...but I still can't accept myself for being a monster."

"You're no monster, SinB. You're a young girl struggling to find the pros that comes with being a werewolf."

"Thanks for trying to help." SinB weakly smiled. She appreciated Umji's comfort.

"Don't thank me. I would be nowhere without Sowon."

"Speaking of that giraffe! We missed her girlfriend's tournament!"

"There's still time. It just started."

"Well, what are we waiting for?! Let's go!" SinB grabbed Umji's hand and ran.

They arrived where the tournament was being held. It didn't take them long with their incredible speed.

"You guys actually made it! I thought you weren't gonna show up." Sowon was so happy and relieved when she saw them.

"Of course we made it! Why wouldn't we? We can't miss our little Eunha's tournament. She's like a sister to us." SinB smirked.

"Or a pack mate." Umji whispered.

"Well, yes that too." Sowon agreed.

"It's about to start, right?"

"Yeah. Yerin and Yuju are over there. Go talk to them." Sowon pointed in their direction.

"Alright. I'll see you after the game? If she wins maybe we can celebrate tomorrow since it's already late." SinB suggested.

"Yes that sounds like a perfect idea" Sowon clapped.

"Tell Eunha I wish her luck." Umji put her fist in the air.

"Tell her I said break a leg...literally not figuratively." SinB snickered.

"Maybe I'll break your leg." Sowon threatened.

"Oh, please, you can't even break the thinnest twig!" She teased.

"My legs are thin twigs and I'm pretty sure I can break those." Sowon argued.

"You know what I meant. Now I have to talk to Yerin and Yuju." SinB waved and dragged Umji to the couple that made her want to puke.

"Hey,!guys. I didn't know you were gonna be here. Did Sowon talk you in to coming?" Umji asked.

"Haha no. Eunha is our friend, we should come to support her." Yerin said with a smile.

"Yeah, SinB, she's our friend, don't be rude. We should come to support her." Umji agreed only to make SinB look like the bad person instead of both of them.

"If Eunha wins we'll celebrate tomorrow since it's already late." SinB announced.

"Oh that's fine. SinB can I talk to you? Alone." Yerin asked.

"Uh, sure." She followed Yerin outside.

"I saw a wolf..."

"You did?" SinB acted surprised.

"Yes. You're the only one I have told."

"Why not Yuju? She's your girlfriend."

"Because I know you're the only that will believe me. I'm not lying. I saw a wolf. You believe me...don't you?"

"Of course I believe you. Wolves are real." SinB nervously replied.

"But this wolf was different. I could tell just by looking it in the eyes. It seemed...human."

"What do you mean? How so?" SinB could feel a lump forming in her throat.

"I don't know I just...the wolf didn't seem full wolf. Maybe a werewolf?"

"Perhaps. Don't worry about it. I'm sure it's gone now."

"You don't understand, SinB. I can't get this wolf out of my mind. It didn't try to attack me. It protected me...the wolf...was so...different. The wolf was...scary."

"What do you mean this specific wolf was scary? Have you seen other wolves?"

"Yes. I'm normally not scared of them. I was so scared yet this wolf had fear in its eyes. Don't dog-like animals feed off fear?"

"Yeah, but maybe the wolf was scared of something."

"Don't tell the others okay? I'm trusting you."

"I won't. You can trust me. I won't let you down." SinB gave her a promising look, but deep down she knew she had to go tell the others.

SinB and Yerin went back to the tournament and watched Eunha play. Most people in the crowd were cheering her on. SinB looked at the scoreboard and realized that Eunha's team was losing. It was 19 to 25.

"I bet you $100 Eunha's team will win." SinB whispered to Yuju. She knew Yuju would be an easy target.

"Deal. And if I win?" Yuju asked.

"You get $100."

"Deal. You're on." She smiled.

"Trust me...this is no deal." SinB mumbled.

"You're a clever one." Umji lightly hit SinB with her elbow.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She mischievously smirked.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Eunha you placed a bet on her." Umji snickered.

Just as SinB thought, Yuju was an easy target. Eunha's team won by 8 points. By the end of the game the scores were 31 to 39. SinB knew Eunha was gonna win. Everyone knows that Eunha goes easy in the beginning but towards the end she's unstoppable.

Once they were all outside SinB asked for her money, "Pay up, Yuju." She held out her hand with a smug smile plastered on her face.

"SinB, what are you talking about?" Sowon asked.

"I made a bet that if Eunha won then she owes me $100. Now pay up."

"Here." Yuju handed me the money while she glared at me.

"You made a bet on me?! You knew I would win and you knew Yuju was an easy target! You used me for money! Eunbi!" Eunha chased SinB all the way to her house.
