My Downfall | Killers List #3

Misunderstood

"Well I should take you home now" Eunha said, grabbing her keys and phone.

"Yeah I guess it's about time. I guess I'll see you around, Umji" her sister frowned. It seemed like they didn't get along well but they loved each other very much.

"I'll visit you tomorrow to make sure you're okay" Umji said, giving her little sister a tight hug.

"Alright lets hurry. My boyfriend will be home soon" Eunha seemed to be in a bit of a rush. They didn't understand why she needed to be home before him.

"I'll walk you guys out" Sowon unexpectedly offered.

"I think we'll be fine, really" Eunha didn't want to be a burden to Sowon. If anything, she wanted Sowon to be her friend again but it didn't seem like that would ever happen again.

"No I'll walk you out while she says by to everyone" Sowon unintentionally pressed her hand against Eunha's back and led her out the door.

"Hey, thanks for walking me out" Eunha gave a quick bow, she really did appreciate it even if she didn't really need assistance.

"It's no problem. I figure I won't be seeing you in awhile?" Sowon raised an eyebrow.

"Most likely, that is unless you'd like to hangout some time? I'm sure you wouldn't want to" Eunha offered, her cheeks becoming a bit red.

"No that sounds fun. Just the two of us or like a double date thing?" Eunha didn't think Sowon would actually be interested.

"Both is fine, whatever you prefer" Eunha shrugged. She was just glad to be getting along with Sowon again.

"Great. I'll text you some time next week, will that be fine?"

"I'm free whenever you are" Eunha's hands began to uncontrollably shake due to nervousness. It's been so long since she's had a regular conversation with Sowon, it was difficult to talk to her.

"Next Friday then?"

"Next Friday it is. I look forward to it" Eunha smiled.

"Alright well she's coming out now so I better go" Sowon returned the sweet gesture.

"Wait Sowon I have something for you" Eunha quickly stopped her before she got too far.

"I wanted to pay you back for the pads you got for me. I know you thought Yuju was on her period so you got them for her but she was just covering up for me, I apologize" Eunha bowed her head as she handed Sowon the exact amount of money that was spent on the sanitary pads.

"Oh you really don't have to return the money, it was only eight dollars" Sowon tried giving the money back but Eunha insisted that she keep it.

"Eunha please just take the money back"

"No you can keep it" Eunha lightly pushed Sowons money filled hands away. Umji's sister got in the car and watched them fight over the money for awhile.

"No seriously Eunha, like I'm being completely serious, take the money"

"I really can't do that. Sorry. I'll see you on Friday!" Eunha slammed her foot on the accelerator and sped out of the neighborhood.

"So what were you two talking about out there?" Eunbi had a smug look on her face.

"What were you and Yerin talking about?" Sowon questioned.

"I was just asking her why she's had such an attitude lately, especially towards Eunha"

"And?"

"And what? That's all I asked"

"No I mean what happened? What did she say?" Sowon rolled her eyes.

"Oh she's just mad that she left us all again for her boyfriend for the second time. She was mad that she left on the day of your birthday and didn't even say goodbye to anyone. She said it was disrespectful of Eunha to call and say goodbye instead of in person. She said it was unfair that Eunha only said goodbye to her and not everyone else" Eunbi explained. Yerin told her not to tell anyone but Eunbi was known for not being able to keep her mouth shut. Sometimes she seemed two-faced. She acted like she wouldn't tell anyone but then she'd turn around and whisper into someone's ear about things that weren't to be spoken about.

"Wait she left on my birthday and didn't even say goodbye? Nor did she wish me a happy birthday. In fact, she didn't say anything to me at all. What an asshole" Sowon furrowed her eyebrows, her cheeks turning red because she was angry.

"No one told you this yet? I thought you knew she left that night. Yerin said that she told everyone. Everyone else knew about this besides you" Eunbi was growing suspicious. Why did Yerin keep Sowon from the truth? Why was it so important for her not to know?

"What? So she told the others but not me? Who the hell does she think she is?! I had every right to know!" Sowon stomped her foot on the floor. It was a petty move, in Eunbi's opinion at least. It made Sowon look like a spoiled little girl.

"Listen maybe she was just trying to protect you from something" Eunbi tried to stop Sowon from going up the stairs.

"Why do you always defend her?! You guys are supposed to hate each other!"

"We do! Do you know how much I'd love to kill her right now? I can't. We have an agreement" Eunbi didn't think she was always sticking up for Yerin even if she was wrong, she believed she was just following the contract. Besides, Eunbi didn't really see herself as someone who picked sides. She seemed to always be neutral.

"Fuck that contract! I'd kill her now. Does the contract even say anything like that? I don't believe it states that you always have to defend her" Sowon seemed promising.

"Yes it does. I have to defend her so that I can kill her in the end"

"I'm talking about verbally defend! Not physically! Are you stupid? You've been misunderstanding the contract the whole time" Sowon facepalmed. Even Umji and Yuju who were in the living room were laughing at Eunbi.

"Are you serious?" Eunbi gasped. She acted as if Yerin had been lying to her this whole time yet it was just her being dumb.

"Dead serious. Look at the contract" Sowon had a poker face, indicating that she wasn't playing around.

"Well let's go check this out"
