My Downfall | Killers List #3

Messenger

Students and teachers were rushing out of the building while firefighters made their way inside. A few people inside the collapsed room were able to walk while others needed assistance.

Firefighters were coming in and out from the building to make sure they got everyone to safety. Teachers made sure all the students were a safe distance away from the building and were checking their attendance sheets to make sure all the students were with them.

"Sowon? Where's Sowon?" A young woman began looking over the crowd in search for her beloved friend.

"Excuse me! I think my friend is still inside there!" She ran to the nearest firefighter.

"Are you sure? What does she look like?" The firefighter asked.

"Long blonde hair, uh, very tall and slim" she didn't really know how else to explain Sowons physical features besides eyes, nose, and lips.

"Stay here while I go get your friend" the firefighter hurriedly made his way inside, prepared to risk his life.

When he got inside there was no sign of life. He was about ready to retreat until he saw a hand slightly moving from underneath a table. He quickly ran to the persons aid.

"Are you okay? Can you walk?" He questioned as he pulled her out from underneath the table.

"I'm fine. Don't touch me!" Sowon pushed the man away from her. She wasn't someone who liked to be helped by others. It was a good yet horrible quality to have.

"You need to evacuate the building"

"I know. I'm not stupid" Again, Sowon pushed him out of her way and calmly walked to the door. She didn't seem afraid of dying in here.

"Sowon!" Her friend threw her arms around Sowon.

"Listen, I got to go. I'll be back later ok? Don't go anywhere and don't follow me" Sowon looked her dead in the eyes and spoke with a serious tone.

"I understand" with that, Sowon disappeared to her car.

"Did you enjoy lunch with your friend?" A man with a deep voice asked.

"Well considering the fact that I haven't seen her in awhile, yes I was very excited and enjoyed spending some time with her again" Eunha responded as she set her purse down on the counter.

"Well I have to go to work now" he grabbed his coat off the chair and headed towards the front door.

"I'll see you later then?" Eunha asked with a frown.

"Yep. Love you" he placed a kiss on her cheek before leaving for work.

"You too..." she mumbled.

Eunha didn't know what else to do with her time. She didn't watch much television since she could never find shows she was interested in. She began surfing through channels to see if she liked anything.

She decided to watch a cooking show since there wasn't much else to watch. The show reminded her of something, someone. She felt like all her memories of her past lover was fading. She could hardly remember what the person looked like, she didn't want to remember.

Of course she knew it was Sowon, but she tried to erase all their memories together. She always kept herself from thinking about her, or about the other girls she worked with, including Eunbi. She wished there was a restart button in life, yet sadly there wasn't, especially not at this moment.

She suddenly received a text message from someone anonymous. She wanted a restart in life yet she felt like she was back tracking in life because of this message. Little did she know, the other five girls received the same text message.

?: Eunha, this is Zen, Jung Yerins brother. I am sending this message to you because I may not be able to make it out alive. A massive threat is ready to wipe out the nation and it is up to you to find me. Please help. I'll be in Seongnam, South Korea at the MoMo cafe. Hope to see you.

Eunha sat in the same position for awhile while trying to process what she just read. It had been so long since her last mission and her last time being with the group. Then again, it didn't say anything about the others. They were most likely meeting up alone.

She was confused on rather or not she should trust that the messenger was Zen and if she should go or not. She also had to decide if it was worth leaving her current boyfriend. He didn't know a thing about Eunha's past.  And quite frankly, she would be horrified if he knew.

Suddenly she found herself hurriedly grabbing her purse and putting her shoes on. Without a second thought, she started the cars engine. Nothing was going to stop her now. She was already speeding out of the neighborhood.

If she would have known that the others would be there then she most likely wouldn't have gone. Actually, none of them knew that they'd all be meeting up. They all thought they'd be meeting up with Zen alone.
