"Baby, I'm a sociopath, sweet serial killer. On the warpath, 'cause I love you just a little too much." Serial killer, Lana Del Rey.
Eunbi was the first to open her eyes after the hell they went through. She didn't notice her surroundings at all. Everything was white and there was a whole bunch of machines around her. She looked around and found Umji laying next to her on a bed. She realized where she was; the hospital. Sowon and Eunha were across from her still sleeping. She lifted her shirt up a little and looked at the wound on her abdomen. It still hurt but not as much as yesterday.
"You're awake?" Umji startled Eunbi.
"Have you been awake this whole time?" She asked.
"Yeah. I wanted to go back to sleep but Eunha kept whimpering in her sleep so I stayed awake to keep an eye on her." Umji looked over at Eunha and smiled, glad that she wasn't whimpering anymore.
"You're good friend, you know that?"
"I know. It was you and Eunha who sacrificed your lives for us though, thank you." Umji reached across the bed to hold Eunbi's hand.
"Should we wake them up now?"
"Let them sleep. They went through a lot last night, I don't know who was in a more difficult situation, Eunha or Sowon. Eunha was shot twice and Sowon wasn't able to get the bullet out of her own thigh because she was too focused on saving Eunha. When we got to the hospital Sowon wouldn't leave Eunha's side as they ran her into the ER. Sowon fainted in the middle of the hallway because the wolfsbane was getting to be too much for her to hold on longer. You passed out in the back of the ambulance. I was the only one who stayed awake and saw everything that happened. I could remember Yuju and Yerin crying and screaming our names as we were put into the back of the ambulance. Last night was one of the most craziest things I've ever experienced." Umji squeezed Eunbi's hand tightly. As much as they would try to forget what happened they knew they never could. It would haunt them in their sleep for awhile and as years pass they will think of that night and some nights they will have nightmares of it again.
"What happened with Eunha? I don't remember Sowon being able to get the bullets out with her fingers."
"It's a little gross, are you sure you want to know?" Umji warned.
"I'm sure."
"I don't remember a lot of what happened but Yuju told me that Sowon used her teeth to get the bullet out. One was so deep in her leg that Sowon had to bite all the way through her leg, it was only a small hole through her leg though. She was able to get her tooth underneath the bullet and pull it up. She even kept swallowing her blood." Umji didn't often get grossed out by things but what Sowon did was disgusting, but she could understand why she did it.
"Ew. I shouldn't have asked." Eunbi suddenly felt the urge to puke after hearing what Sowon did.
"You'll understand one day when you love someone." Umji smiled.
"Sometimes I think I'll never find lo-"
"You guys are awake!" Yuju bursted through the door with Yerin behind her. She was carrying flowers in her left hand and food in the other.
"I thought you guys were gonna die!" Yerin ran over to Eunbi first to give her a tight hug. Yerin's loud voice woke up both Eunha and Sowon.
Sowon tried getting out of bed but she failed miserably. She gently put her hand on her thigh where she was shot and bit her lip, trying to hold in the verge to cry.
"You guys are awake too!" Yuju turned around and gave them both big hugs. Yerin tried giving Sowon a hug but she pushed her away.
"Last night was crazy, are you guys okay? It looked like a movie kinda." Yerin said as Yuju set the flowers down next to Eunha.
"I'm not feeling too well, but at least it doesn't hurt like it did last night." Eunha grabbed the flowers and put them up to her nose.
"Well, I'm glad you guys are feeling better. The doctors will be in here soon to have a checkup." Yerin said as she sat down on the edge of Eunbi's bed.
"Sowon, why aren't you talking?" Umji asked, looking at Sowon with a concerned expression. Sowon was usually talkative.
"Hm?" Sowon looked up from her leg with a confused expression, it's like she didn't know they were there. "I'm okay, just feeling a little dizzy that's all." Sowon covered her leg with the blanket and reassuringly smiled.
"The doctor is here, please be nice Sowon, I know you're not very good at it."'Yuju chuckled and held the door open for the doctor.
"Good morning, are you feeling a bit better? I don't expect you guys to feel great considering that you all got shot." The doctor set his clipboard down on the table.
"I think we're all feeling a lot better." Eunbi responded.
"That's good to hear. So you all will be getting out in the next few days but we want to keep a close eye on you guys for awhile, especially you." He pointed directly at Sowon. "Your parents will be here soon, but there is an officer here who would like to talk to you guys for a few minutes. If you need anything just press that button on your machine. Sowon, I know how you like to act like everything is fine and that you're not in pain but if you really aren't feeling well then you need to press that button. You went in and out of cardiac arrest multiple times. Code blue was called multiple times but the team couldn't get here fast enough, you almost lost your life, you're a lucky one, Sowon." The doctor weakly smiled at Sowon and grabbed his clipboard before leaving so the officer could talk with them. The other were considered. Did the doctor know Sowon?
An officer stepped into the room and got straight to the point, "I would just like to apologize for assuming you were the murderer. You could get in trouble for messing with police evidence, that means not taking a bullet out of a dead body," the officer looked at Eunha, "but since you found the murderer I'll let you off the hook. He'll be locked up in jail for the rest of his life, so don't worry about him coming back. You guys stay out of trouble, okay?" He smiled at all of them and left them to chat with each other for awhile.
"It's finally over! We can go back to our normal lives." Yuju was excited but the rest of them just stared blankly at her.
"Let's uh...eat. I brought your favorites!" Yerin handed them each a tray of food.
They all shoved big amounts of food down their throats meanwhile Sowon was pushing the food away from her. She didn't feel like eating.
"Sowon, you have to eat." Yerin tried feeding her but she kept refusing. Yerin gave up trying to get her to eat, it was pointless. Sowon slid her body back under the blankets and stared up at the white ceiling.
Eunha looked over at her and then looked at the wound on her shoulder. She suddenly realized that all these years she had been dancing with the devil. Ever since Sowon bit her that night she had been following her like a puppy and getting endlessly hurt. She began to think maybe her mother was right. Maybe she should stay away from her.
