•Certain Craving•

•Her Death•

ATTENTION
Park Sooyoung from Red Velvet found dead in the woods far away from town.
People believe that she might've been going out and someone could've intoxicated her and murdered her. Afterwards, they might've left her body in the woods. We are currently looking for sub-

Irene turned off the T.V in the dorm. Yeri's face was paralyzed in a shocked look as she held Seulgi's hand in horror. Seulgi immediately teared up as Wendy covered her face with her smooth hands. Nothing could be heard in the dorm, only sniffles and hiccups. Soon, they heard a knock on the door. Irene, being the mother of the group, got up and walked to the door. She was currently the most stable out of the five- well, now four. Her eyes were watery but she kept biting her lip so she'd be able to care for the members without crying. They relied on her to be the strongest so she lived up to her roll. She opened the door to find Joys manager standing, looking quite monotone. "Hello Irene, I wanted to say that" he was cut off as Irene responded in a raspy voice "Yes, I'm aware that Joy is dead, thank you." As she closed the door softly and went back to the living room where she found the rest of the girls looking up to Irene hopefully, waiting for her to say that Joy is still alive. She knew what they wanted to hear and she didn't have it, so she shook her head softly and said "I'm sorry".
Yeri was first as she stood up and hugged Irene tightly as she sobbed into her shoulder as Seulgi and Wendy hugged and cried together. Irene broke down as tears came down her face as well. She heard Yeri's muffled voice repeatedly say "We're never going to see her again". Irene softly ran her hand through Yeri's hair as she comforted her to the best of her ability. "Red velvet, please go to your rooms, I'll go out and get something for us to eat." They nodded and the three of them walked to their room in a depressed manner. They were talking amongst theirselves as they cried, looking at Joys picture's on the walls.

Ah...I don't want to believe this is actually happening. She can't be dead can she..all I can do is look down, I don't want anyone in SM to question me on why I'm crying. "Hello Irene, what do you need" my manager asked me. "I need to go get some food for the girls. They're asleep in the dorm right now" Yes I lied, I don't want them walking up there and bothering them right now. I usually only open the door. He nodded and got his keys as I pulled my hood over my head. We went to the nearest restaurant as I ordered 4 orders of pork ramen, 1 large bowl of jjajangmyeon, 1 order of tteokbokki, and fried chicken. Kimchi and extra things were also on the side. Then I smiled and remembered how much they loved watermelon drinks so I ordered 4 watermelon smoothies. I thanked god that it was late and no one was really out. I sat on the chair in the restaurant, where carry out would be served, while my manager waited outside in his car as he was on his phone, laughing and doing whatnot. I sighed as I texted into the groupchat that we had the order and asked if it was okay. Yeri replied immediately "Joy never got to taste the watermelon drinks" with a sad face. I blinked twice as I frowned and replied "your right Yeri" as Wendy texted "Please hurry back soon Bae" "Alright I'll be there in 15 minutes"
I closed my phone down and waited for the food to be done as I looked at the T.V while I waited. Oh, news channel talking about Joys death. Great. Just what I needed. I looked away as I felt myself about to cry again so I put my dark sunglasses on on shielded my face with my long hair. The woman came out with two large white bags and handed them to me saying to have a nice night, as I have her a fake smile and nodded. I walked to the car and put the drinks on my lap and the bags in the back. We rode off back into SM Entertainment building. I wondered how my girls were doing. My poor Wendy. My poor Seulgi. My poor Yeri. My poor poor Joy.

We were all currently in Irene and Wendy's dorm, as we were all in bed talking about things to get our minds off of it. We were hoping we'd get a break because I sure as hell knew I couldn't perform for a while after this. No way I could, I'd get so much hate again for not having a good expression while dancing, or not dancing good in general or anything really. I get judged for everything but I'm now comfortable with it because I have fans that really do love me and I love them equally back. I heard Wendy talk again but something was in my mind. If Joy was really dead, how could I communicate with her? I never got to say goodbye. I frowned as an idea that was smart yet dangerous popped into my head. Isn't there a store nearby that has a ouija board? I grinned to myself as I thought it was kinda a crazy idea but I could say something to Joy. She was perfect in my eyes, I never really tried to hide my sexuality in public but I did have to, but I tried letting out hints that I wasn't all over guys. Soon I heard Seulgi shaming my shoulder softly. "Yeri-ah, are you okay" she said with a worried face expression. I looked over at her with a dull face as we both looked to the door as it knocked twice. We walked to the door and looked through the hole to see Irene with two bags in her hands and drinks. She said softly "it's Irene", as we opened the door and helped her carry stuff to the living room where we ate. She put out the food for us as we looked at it in awe as we started to dig into the fried chicken while irene was in the kitchen getting the utensils. She came back with chopsticks, a couple spoons,and soy sauce. She sat them down on the table as we ate while talking about the food once in a while yet we we were still in silence. "Joy would love this rice cake" I murmured to myself quietly. Irene looked up with a worried face and gave my hand a warming squeeze as I nodded my head at her. She usually had codes for us. A hand squeeze usually meant to stop what we were doing, and I guess my comment could make everyone start crying again. But I knew she wasn't upset over me saying that. She felt sympathy. Me and Joy were always together. We were the maknaes, while the oldies were always together. Who would I hang out with. I frowned as I finished up eating. We drank the juice and smiled as it was delicious just like the last time we had it. I'm pretty sure it was in Thailand. We were almost done with dinner as Wendy said she was done and she was going to bed. She gave everyone a hug and hugged Irene which Irene blushed at that. I smirked at that, and looked at her with my devilish face. She looked down as she kept eating with her face looking like a cherry. Seulgi nudged me and talked to me while we ate. I smiled and talked to her as we were finishing up, Irene talked to us too as she ate. Seulgi and I were partners in bedrooms with Joy. But since Joy had been gone for awhile me and Seulgi had really bonded over time. I looked down as I got in bed. "Well, now Joy's gone for real."
