"I wonder what he's doing back in town. I thought he died actually" Eunbi said while she walked into the cafe with Yerin.
"Probably—what the fuck?" Yerin suddenly stopped in her tracks when she saw Umji and Zen sitting at a table in the middle of the room.
"Umji?..." Eunbi stood there completely frozen for awhile before proceeding to sprint towards Umji and give her a hug.
"SinB!" The two former friends embraced each other. Meanwhile Yerin and Zen were glaring at each other the whole time.
"You didn't tell me she'd be here" Yerin said with gritted teeth as she sat down. She made sure only Zen was able to hear her voice, she didn't want to make Umji feel unwelcomed although Yerin felt like she was.
"Actually, everyone is here" zen smirked as he looked up and found Eunha standing by the door with widened eyes.
"What the—is this some sort of convention?" Yerin averted her eyes from Eunha to Zen.
"No. I need you guys back together as a group" he gave a serious and genuine look, letting Yerin know that he wasn't lying.
"Umji? SinB?...Y-Yerin?" Eunha was in complete shock when she got closer to the group.
"Eunha!" SinB interrupted her and Umji's conversation to give Eunha a hug.
"Who else is coming?" Yerin mumbled, afraid of Yuju showing up out of the blue.
"Yes Yerin, she's coming. In fact, Yuju is already here" Zen grinned when he saw Yuju walking towards the door through the glass panel.
"Shit" Yerin facepalmed and hid her face behind her arms when Yuju walked in.
Everyone seemed to stop everything they were doing. The whole atmosphere changed, there was so much tension between Yuju and the group she left behind.
"Hey guys..." Yuju awkwardly smiled at everyone.
"Yuju..." SinB was beyond excited to see everyone again. She felt like she was going to have a heart attack from too much adrenaline and excitement.
"I think that's the first time you've ever hugged me" Yuju snickered while SinB released her hands from Yuju.
"I missed you so god damn much!" Eunbi accidentally shouted.
"Well let's all have a seat, shall we?" Yuju smiled at everyone while she sat down across from Eunha.
Umji of course was angry and awkward around Yuju. She wasn't sure if Yuju knew how she felt but she mostly likely assumed that Umji didn't think of her as just a friend.
There was only one person missing now. Maybe she wasn't going to show up. She often didn't attend events that she didn't like even if it was for family.
It was awkward for them having to be staring at each other. Yerin and Zen sat across from each other while Yuju and Eunha were across from each other. Then at the end of the table it was Umji and SinB who sat across from one another.
They figured Sowon was going to be a no show so they began starting the conversation. About half way in they all seemed interested in what Zen was speaking about. They were so interested that they didn't even see Sowon enter the cafe.
Sowon could only notice Zen, Yuju, and SinB since the others backs were facing her. She was shocked to see them but not as shocked as when she saw Eunha.
"Uh...hey" Sowon awkwardly smiled and waved her hand at Zen. This got the others attention.
Eunha immediately recognized the voice and tried to resist the temptation of turning around but she couldn't. She had to see Sowons face again, she had to remember what she looked like.
Sowon quickly averted her eyes when she accidentally stared directly into Eunha's eyes. She had to use all her strength not to look at Eunha. She also tried her best not to seem awkward.
"Sowon, didn't think you'd show up" Zen looked up at her and smiled.
"Well I did so..."
"Omg...Sowon!" Without a warning, Eunbi was sprinting towards Sowon with her arms out and ready to give her a hug.
"Please don't" Sowon stopped her right before Eunbi's hands were about to wrap around her.
"Can't do that!" Eunbi immediately hugged the long lost friend she missed so much. Sowon was evidently uncomfortable.
"So uh...why am I here?" Sowon asked as she grabbed an extra chair and pulled it up to the table next to Yerin and Zen.
"As you may have heard, Kyung is in town" Zen whispered, making sure no one was listening to their private conversation.
"Trust me, I know" Sowon and Yuju both scoffed along with an eye roll.
"Wait what happened to you?" The two both asked each other in unison again.
"She tried to light me on fire inside a house" Eunha gasped and raised her eyebrows when Yuju shared what happened.
"She put a bomb in the room I was in and tried to kill us all. I was trying to teach interns and then bam! The room exploded" Sowon shared her traumatic experience.
"She's coming after us all one by one then. Does she know you guys are still alive?" Yerin questioned.
"Most likely. It's Kyung, she's got watchdogs everywhere we go. In fact, any one of you guys could be a spy" Sowon suddenly felt uncomfortable after her random comment that she hadn't even thought about until now.
"don't jump to conclusions like that. I have to go soon so let's hurry this up. There is plenty of information I need to tell you. First—"
"Wait what do you mean?" Yerin suddenly interrupted. "Why do you have to go? What are you not telling us? If we're gonna work together then we need the whole truth" Yerin gave a dead serious look, it almost seemed as if she was threatening him.
"I was willing to sacrifice myself to give you guys a couple extra days. She told me that if I allow her to kill me then she'll give you guys a few extras days to live. Those days seem to be up now so I need to hurry. I will be killed at 9:00PM tonight" Zens voice seemed to be getting even more quiet, it was like he knew someone was listening to them.
"What? No you can't do that. We'll figure something out" Eunha said. She seemed concerned for him. She barely knew him, why did she care so much about what will happen to him?
"Don't you have a boyfriend?" Sowon rolled her eyes.
"What? I'm not-"
"Both of you shut up. We're not here to talk about your relation-"
"Well why does she always have to be an asshole about everything?! It's fucking annoying!" Eunha suddenly shouted, startling the employees and other customers that were trying to enjoy their coffee in peace.
"I'm not the one that cheated!" Sowon suddenly stood up. She looked about ready to slap Eunha across the face.
"Oh get over it! Obviously I didn't love you—"
"And you left me and went to Europe!" Umj suddenly yelled at Yuju, which was totally unexpected.
What was even more shocking though was that Yuju yelled back at her. They all seemed to be getting in a heated argument except for Yerin, Eunbi, and Zen who were trying to tell them to calm down but them shouting at each other masked their calm voices.
"All of you shut the fuck up right fucking now!" Yerin slammed her hand against the table as hard as she could. That seemed to get everyone to quiet down and pay attention.
"We're all gonna die"
