My Downfall | Killers List #3

Recovery

Eunha opened her eyes and was immediately confused as to where she was. She looked around and saw curtains covering the windows. She was obviously in a vehicle, she could feel the car bumping up and down on the rocky road.

She looked around and found Sowon sleeping with her mouth opened and her head leaned back against the seat. Umji was playing games on her computer while Yuju was driving. Eunbi was also sleeping with her head leaned against Sowons shoulder. As for Yerin, well she was sitting in the corner of the vehicle with earbuds plugged into her phone. She looked more emotionless then ever.

She suddenly smelt something awful. The vehicle reeked of death. She looked around only to find Zens dead body laying next to her. She was startled half to death and immediately jumped to her feet in the back of the van.

"Are you okay?" Yuju glanced at her through the review mirror.

"What happened?..." Eunha scratched her head and rubbed her eyes.

"We almost died. Well Zen did die and Eunbi got shot in the leg because of Sowon. Also, you were shot too so be careful" Yuju went back to focusing on the road.

Eunha looked down at her stomach where she felt an agonizing pain. Her whole body aches but not as much as where she was shot. She lifted up her shirt to see the wound but it was already bandaged of course.

"You're finally awake" Umji smiled as she looked up from her computer screen.

"Yeah...what happened?"

"Yuju already explained but I'm assuming you want more details? None of us really know. You'll have to ask Sowon since she was the only one there with you" Umji and Eunha both looked up at Sowon who was sleeping peacefully.

"Did you guys get her?"

"Not even close. We're actually very disappointed in ourselves" Umji frowned.

"It was our first time being back after a long break. Stay positive. And as for Zen, what happened to him?"

"Well he died of course" Umji and Eunha both glanced over at his deceased body. "The scene was horrific. Watching Yerin struggle to break free from Eunbi's arms to get to her brother was truly devastating. I couldn't imagine what she went through" Umji somehow found herself feeling bad for someone, which was something she wasn't use to.

Maybe she changed, maybe they all changed. Of course they did, it had been so long. And them splitting apart most likely did cause them to change. Hopefully they'd go back to the way they use to be.

"So he's really gone..." Eunha for some reason couldn't take her eyes off his pale face. She was sad, she was sad for both him and Yerin.

"Do you want some water?" Yerin suddenly came into the room with a glass filled with ice cold water.

"Sure" Eunbi felt bad as she reached her arm out to grab the glass.

She felt like she should be taking care of Yerin, not the other way around. It didn't seem fair to both of them. Eunbi got to lay in bed all day while Yerin catered to her. Meanwhile Yerin was still grieving in silence.

She acted as if she was alright but it was obvious that she just felt like dying, but she couldn't, not until she killed Eunbi. She had the choice to kill Eunbi right now but she wanted to kill Kyung, she wanted revenge. Plus, Yerin and Eunbi made an agreement and Yerin was a woman of her words, most of the time.

"Goodnight. I'm turning your lights off now" Yerin weakly smiled at Eunbi before turning the lights off and shutting the door.

Eunbi laid there in absolute silence and darkness for awhile. She couldn't seem to keep her eyes shut. Thoughts kept pacing back and forth in her head. She was restless.

"SinB?" Eunbi suddenly heard the door open quietly.

"Eunha?" Eunbi had a questioning expression when Eunha laid on the bed inches away from her. She snuggled up in the blankets.

"I don't want to sleep alone" Eunha had a worried look but Eunbi could not see.

"Why? Are you-" Eunbi stopped when Eunha unexpectedly began to quietly cry. All Eunbi could do was try to comfort her.

But they didn't know that on the other side of the wall another woman was crying her heart out over her lover who cheated on her. And down the hallway they didn't know that two broken down women were on the verge of killing themselves.

And as for Yuju, she seemed find. It was difficult to bother someone like Yuju but if someone tried hard enough, they could. There were certain topics that Yuju couldn't handle.

"Why are you crying? Did something happen?" Eunbi asked once Eunha's sobs calmed down.

"I don't want to have to break up with my boyfriend but I know I can't stay here while dating him. I know I won't be able to leave you guys now" Eunha held on tightly to Eunbi's arms.

"I know everyone says this but just follow your heart. Do what you believe is right. You don't have to stay here because of us. You can still call us" Eunbi reminded.

"I don't want to leave but Sowon is such an asshole about everything I do and it's exhausting me, it makes me want to leave"

"Don't worry about what she says, she's always an asshole. Just ignore her dumb comments. She doesn't get to decide what you do" Eunbi wasn't on either of their sides but she wasn't going to let Sowon unintentionally decide for Eunha's actions.

"I just...I still feel guilty about what I did to her"

"What you did wasn't right and you've acknowledged it and now you're growing from your mistakes. She'll get over it" Eunbi tried to reassure her.

"I hope you're right. I don't want anyone to be hurting because of me" Eunha said as she turned around.

"...goodnight" Eunbi assumed Eunha would be sleeping in her bed tonight since it didn't seem like Eunha was going to be leaving anytime soon.

"Goodnight"
