My Downfall | Killers List #3

Hold her close

"Umji..." Yuju laid her hand on her shoulder, trying to get some sort of reaction out of her.

"That's...that's my brother" Umji looked over at Yuju, her eyes filled with tears.

"Oh Umji" Yuju, crying now too, grabbed Umji by the shoulders and pulled her close to her.

"Umji did you see the-" Yerin came running down the stairs only to find the two hugging.

"Oh..." Yerin looked over at Yuju who gave a symbol to her to keep quiet.

"What's going on in here?" Eunbi appeared out from behind Yerin and whispered in her ear. This caused Yerin to jump forward and make a loud and unexpected noise.

"You fucking scared me you prick!" Yerin held her hand over her heart.

"I asked a questioned..." Eunbi tilted her head like a confused puppy. Did questions really scare people that much?

"Yeah and you scared me!" Yerin looked at her with disbelief.

"Well what's happening?" Eunbi got on her tip-toes to look over Yerins head to see what was happening.

"Umji's brother died" Yerin said bluntly, almost as if she didn't care.

"What? Poor Umji. I have to see her" Eunbi tried to run past Yerin but she was too slow. Yerin took karate for more than six years, her reflexes and swift movements were unbelievable.

"Let Yuju be with her for awhile, alone" Yerin emphasized the last word as her eyebrows rose.

"But she's my friend. I want her to know I'm here for her" Eunbi had a frantic look.

"I'm sure she knows. You can talk to her later. Plus, I'm sure she can already hear you" Yerin said, looking back at Umji and Yuju.

"I guess...I feel bad though"

"Why? You weren't the one who killed him, or were you?" Yerin furrowed her eyebrows in suspicion.

"No! Who did though?"

"I'm not sure—wait! Kyung! That little bitch killed him. What is she trying to do now? Kill all our brothers?" Yerin awkwardly chuckled, trying to refrain from crying. She didn't want anyone to know she was still in pain.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go" Eunbi reached for her shoes.

"No. You still need to give time for your knee to heal. I'll go alone. I'll be fine, trust me" Yerin gave Eunbi a reassuring look.

"No seriously I'm going with you"

"No you're not" Yerin snatched Eunbi's shoes out of her hands.

"You'll get hurt"

"Me? No way. You're the one that got shot last time. Did I get hurt? No. I'll be fine, I'm a professional hitman, I know what I'm doing" Yerin tossed Eunbi's shoes on the floor as she reached for her own black shoes.

"What if you need backup?"

"I'm sure I won't. You're the only one that will be needing backup once I kick your annoying ass"

"What ass?" Eunbi turned around and pointed at her rear end.

"What are you? Five?" Yerin scoffed along with an eye roll, but really she was trying to hold in a smile. Eunbi was actually quite funny in Yerins opinion, but she was never going to admit that of course.

"No but I like ass" Yerin was taken aback by this sudden comment of Eunbi's.

"Hold up what?"

"Ass. After school snacks. Ass" Eunbi said with a look of confusion. Yerin wasn't sure if Eunbi was pretending not to know that when she said ass Yerin thought she meant the buttocks.

"Ass means after school snacks? Interesting" Yerin nodded.

"Yup" Eunbi proudly smiled.

"You're weird. I'm leaving now" Yerin grabbed her car keys and her jacket.

"Wait but don't you need weapons?"

"Why do you think I'm going to the garage? I have guns in the back of my car trunk anyways" Yerin glanced over at Eunbi one last time before closing the door behind her.

Once Eunbi heard the garage closing she ran to the window so she could watch Yerin drive away. She peeked through the blinds and watched Yerin pull out of the driveway. Yerin quickly noticed Eunbi in the window and gave her the middle finger before turning the corner.

Yerin was now nearing where Eunha was currently living with her boyfriend. She considering dropping by and visiting her real quick but she wasn't sure if Eunha would be okay with that. She could've called her but she would want it to be a surprise.

Yerin was feeling good today, so she decided to show up without a warning. She locked her car doors with her key as she walked up the stairs to the front of the door. She knocked loudly and waited outside in the cold.

"Hello?" A man opened the door, not who Yerin was expecting at all.

"Oh...I am here looking for Eunha. I thought she lived here. Sorry am I wrong?" Yerin peeked inside the house. She noticed the same shoes that Eunha wore but many people wore the same shoes.

"No, no she lives here she's just in the kitchen right now. Come inside" he kindly moved out of the way and gestured for Yerin to come inside.

"Yerin?!" Eunha turned around to see who was knocking at the door.

"Hey. I happened to be in this part of town and thought I'd drop by to see you" Yerin smiled, but inside she just wanted to wrap her hands around Eunha's neck and choke her for all the things she has done to them.

"Oh. I was just finishing dinner if you'd like to stay and eat with us" Eunha tried inviting her to dinner but no matter how much Yerin loved food, it wouldn't make her forgive her.

"No I just wanted to stop by real quick to see how you're doing. It looks like you're doing fine...without us" Yerin mumbled the last two words. "So I think I'm going to head out now. I've got some work to do"

"Oh. I see" Eunha gave Yerin a look that she couldn't explain. Eunha knew what Yerin was talking about when she had work to do, she was heading out to take someone down.

"Well bye then. I'll see you two around I guess" Yerin reached for the door knob but Eunha's boyfriend swiftly grabbed the knob and swung the door open for Yerin.

"Who was that?"
