My Downfall | Killers List #3

December 7th (pt. 1)

Sowon woke up with an attitude and a frown although it was one of the best days of the whole entire year, her birthday. She looked over at Kim who was sleeping next to her and smiled. She then crawled out of bed and went to the bathroom.

She brushed her hair and teeth before changing into a new and clean pair of clothes. She made sure she looked good before leaving the bedroom. She let Kim get extra rest.

"Awake already?" Sowon was surprised when she saw Yuju putting her shoes on when she got down the stairs.

"Yeah. I have to go get some pads" Yuju said. She made sure to leave Eunha's name out of the sentence. She didn't know if Eunha didn't want someone to know she was on her period.

"Oh I'll go get them, I'm heading out anyways" Sowon insisted. She figured Yuju wasn't really in the mood to go considering the fact that she was still in her pajamas.

"Are you sure? You have to be back soon then because I only have one pad and it's been used" Yuju warned as she took her shoes off.

"Yeah I'll only be gone for about half an hour. Make some breakfast for the others okay?"

"Will do" Yuju saluted with a smile.

"Good" Sowon retuned the gesture before opening the door.

"Sowon wait!" Yuju called out in a hurry. "Happy birthday" she smiled again and closed the door before Sowon could say a word.

For a moment Sowon was actually beginning to wonder if everyone had forgotten her very own birthday. She wouldn't be surprised but she would be very hurt inside.

She rubbed her hands together as she waited for her car to warm up and defrost. The garage was too small to fit all their vehicles in so she and a few others had to keep theirs outside in the cold.

Once she could see out her windows she pulled out of the driveway. She looked back at the house as she drove away, feeling a bit empty inside for some odd reason.

Yuju stared into the kitchen, preparing for a torturous hour or so of cooking. She suddenly collapsed onto the floor and laid there for a few minutes while she continued staring into the kitchen.

She groaned before she began literally crawling into the kitchen on her hands and knees. She was too lazy to get up and walk. She finally stood to her feet once she was in front of the fridge.

"What the hell are you doing?" Yuju jumped back, startled by the sudden voice.

"Oh..." Yuju looked over at Umji helplessly like she just got caught doing something wrong. "Didn't see you there" Yuju awkwardly chuckled.

"Yeah I know" Umji furrowed her eyebrows and crossed her arms over her chest.

"What are you so angry about? You start your period too?" Yuju immediately covered her mouth after she finished speaking. Luckily she didn't mention Eunha.

"No..." Umji had a suspicious look on her face.

"Well do you want to help me make breakfast instead of pouting and being angry all day?" Yuju asked with a bright and genuine smile.

"No. I'll be in the music room if you need anything, or if you start a fire" Umji rolled her eyes and continued her way to the white room across from the kitchen.

"Like a professional chef like me could ever start a fire" Yuju mumbled along with a scoff.

"Oh I didn't know you were a chef. What school did you go to?" Yuju, again, was startled by the sudden question.

"Jesus Christ will people stop scaring me?!" Yuju facepalmed when she turned around and saw Kim standing behind her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to" she gave an apologetic look which made Yuju feel bad for some reason.

"No, no, it's fine. I'm actually not a chef, I was just playing around" Yuju smiled and turned around again to grab the ingredients from the fridge.

"I figured. Do you happen to know where Sowon is?" Kim scratched her head while she looked around the kitchen and living room.

"Oh she's out getting some pads for Yerin, she's on her period" Yuju accidentally mentioned Yerins name without realizing it. And she wouldn't notice till later today.

"Oh that sucks" Kim frowned. She was very kind-hearted and felt bad for anyone who wasn't having a good time.

"Yeah it does. So what made you assume I'm not actually a chef? Is it my face? My personality?" Yuju questioned. She was in dire need to know.

"No it's just that Sowon would talk a lot about these five girls she use to know. I figured she was talking about you guys because there's five of you. I've been observing each of you a bit to figure out who is who. She always told me that you're very clumsy and think everything is funny, she told me you smile a lot and are very kind to everyone you come across. She told me your names but she didn't introduce me to each individual. So I kind of just matched your names to your personality" Kim explained in a more simplified way, but that was also because Sowon made it sound like Yuju had some kind of a mental problem where her brain didn't function right or normally.

"Interesting. Have you gotten any names wrong yet or mixed someone up with someone else?" Yuju asked.

"Yes actually I mixed up SinB and Yerin" Kim shyly admitted. There was nothing she hated more then being wrong.

"I don't blame you, they're practically the same person if you really think about it. Of course there are ways they're different but for the most part they're very alike"

"Yes, they're both cold and distance" Kim shared her opinion about the two which Yuju obviously was not going to agree with. Yuju actually knew SinB and Yerin, she knew what they were actually like when they were with people they love and trust.

"Sorry but I'm going to have to kindly disagree. You just don't know them yet and vice versus. They seem like that in the beginning but once you get to know them they're totally different and fun to be around" Yuju kindly fired back with a bit of an aggressive tone. They had just met yet Yuju didn't like her very much, which was unusual because Yuju got along with just about everyone.

Yuju was just going to have to learn to get along with her, they all would have to because it didn't seem like she was going to be leaving any time soon.
