The Cosmic Girls

Chapter 10: Shadow of Evil

February 25th 2017

Lee Jinsook was not you average high school girl.

Lee Jinsook had a variety of hobbies.

She liked cooking.

She liked going to the movies.

She liked taking walks every once in a while.

She liked going to the beach with her friends.

She liked murdering people.

She liked helping the maids around the house.

She even visited elderly homes.

She has been to countless charity events.

But her favourite hobby was praying. She was always praying. She was often seen on her knees asking the Lord for forgiveness. Jinsook was sinner, temptations always got the better. She asked her paster for tips on avoiding temptations but they only worked for a few, liked swearing and murdering. But somethings were just too good to not to do.

Ironically, right now she was praying at the church. It was prayer week so everyday she found herself at the church. Well, except for yesterday. She was taking care of a small problem. But she was here today praying for forgiveness from yesterday and protection for the rest of her days.

Today, unlike the past few months, had been a very good and progressive day. She met new people and people who could have helped her with problem. She also learnt she wasn't as alone in the weird world...

Earlier that day

Yeoreum lied awake in her bed. Her alarm had went off since 6:45am, it was now 7:30. She had woken up long before her alarm even began ringing. She barely slept last night after she and that dream, she was running out time. Dreams like that were only the signs of the real suffering. She couldn't sleep after that and didn't want to go downstairs to have to deal with her mother. So she stayed.

She finally pulled herself out of bed, intentionally falling onto the ground. She stood up and moved her long blonde hair from her face. She walked towards her vanity and grabbed her brush from the table. She sat down and began lazily brushing her hair with one hand, she used the other to find a band to put her hair in a bun. After finding one she put her into a messy bun. She reminded herself that she get her roots done the weekend.

She continued on with her morning routine.

Praying.

Doing a bit of stretching.

Taking a shower.

Contemplate mass murder.

Plan her outfit for the day.

Got dressed.

She then went downstairs by her mother and saw that she was seated on the couch reading. She had two options, talk to her mother and get screamed at or walk right past her and screamed at. She went with the latter. The lady raised her eyes to look at the girls as she sauntered past her. "Why are you still here." She asked with an annoyed voice.

"..."

"Yeoruem?"

"..."

"Jinsook."

"..."

"Lee Jinsook."

"..."

"LEE JINSO-"

"WHAT! "

"Did you not here me calling you?"

Yeoruem rolled her eyes and continued grabbing things to make herself something to eat. The sound of the elderly woman screaming insults and slurs at her made her loose her appetite. In spite of her mother, Yeoruem threw down everything she had prepared and walked out of the house.
