My Downfall | Killers List #3

Nails

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Sowon slammed her fist against the stirring wheel when she pulled into the driveway.

She accidentally hit the horn with her hand and caused Yuju to come running outside. Sowon awkwardly stared at Yuju for a moment before getting out of the car.

"What are you looking at?" Sowon glared at Yuju as she walked past her and towards the door.

"What's your problem?" Yuju followed behind Sowon like a puppy.

"Eunha is getting married to that asshole" Sowon slipped her shoes off, tossed her keys onto the table and jumped onto the couch to get comfortable.

"Wait that's amazing news! Why is that bad? I don't understand. OH MY GOD WE HAVE TO HAVE A CELEBRATION PARTY FOR HER!" Yuju ran around the living room with her hands raised in the air as she clapped.

"No we don't. You're not supposed to know" Sowon rolled her eyes.

"But I do know. Oh my what do I do now? How do I make myself forget?" Yuju grabbed a fistful of her hair, looking extremely panicked.

"Just don't mention it to her or anyone else and when she tells you just act surprised. Don't say that you already knew" Sowon said as she reached for the tv remote.

"I won't I promise! Anyways can you take me to the store please? I need new fingernail clippers because I lost mine" Yuju said with a smile while she showed Sowon her long nails.

"Why do you need to cut your nails? Are you planning on having sex or something?"

"Wait is that why people cut their nails? Maybe I should stop cutting my nails then because I'm a virgin" Yuju raised her eyebrows. Yes, Yuju was smart when it came to technology and stuff but other than that she was hopeless.

"Well you're a lesbian so I assumed you were planning on it"

"Wait you've got it all wrong, I'm interested in men. Plus, I cut my nails because otherwise there's just a whole bunch of dirt in them" Yuju tried showing the dirt underneath her nails but Sowon refused to look for the sole purpose of annoying Yuju.

"Interested in men? Yeah right. All you and Umji do is eye fuck each other when you're around one another"

"I don't understand. I think you'd have to be really talented to 'fuck' with your eyes and I'm pretty sure Umji doesn't know how to do that because she would've told us"

"Yuju that's not what it literally means" Sowon facepalmed.

"Then what does it mean? Never mind I don't want to know, I just want to get my fingernail clippers" Yuju whined.

"Just use someone else's"

"Ew no that's disgusting!" Yuju made puking noises, trying to make it clear that she thought Sowons suggestion was utterly disgusting and useless.

"How? Just wash it off and stop being a baby" Sowon scoffed.

"I'm sure you and Eunha shared everything but I'm not like that. I'm quite the germaphobic if you didn't notice"

"Well I'm still not taking you. Ask Eunbi to drive you, she has a car" Sowon shooed Yuju away with her hand.

"I'll ask Eunbi then" Yuju crossed her arms over her chest and huffed. She wanted Sowon to know that she was disappointed and angry with her.

"So what are you buying at the store?" Eunbi asked as she brought the car to a stop once the light turned red.

"Finger nail clippers, I lost mine again" Yuju laughed at herself.

"Yuju, are you...ya know" Eunbi didn't want to say it. She felt bad.

"Am I what?"

"Do you have...autism?" Eunbi whispered for some reason.

"No, at least I don't think so. Wait do you think I do just because I forgot something? Don't be silly Eunbi. I'd have to be retarded to have autism" Yuju laughed as she opened the car door. "I'll be right back" Yuju smiled and shut the car door.

"Well that's rude to say that..." Eunbi mumbled as she watched Yuju walk into the store.

Eunbi turned the volume up to the music and leaned her head back. She got comfortable in her seat and relaxed as soon as Yuju came out of the store with more than what she needed.

"You're back already? And what did you get? I thought you just needed nail clippers" Eunbi rolled her eyes when Yuju got in the car.

"I got more shampoo, nail clippers, a new coffee cup, pens, and an apple" Yuju took the items out of the bag one by one to show Eunbi.

"Ok but why just one single apple? Like what's the point in that?" Eunbi never understood Yuju's logic, partly because Yuju didn't have any logic.

"Because an apple a day keeps the doctor away" Yuju smiled. She grabbed the apple and took a massive bite out of it.

"So you come to the store everyday to get a single apple?" Eunbi asked. Yuju simply nodded as she continued chewing on big pieces of the apple.

"Why don't you just get a bunch at once instead of coming back each day?"

"Because they don't last that long. I can't just go get fourteen apples at once" Yuju looked at Eunbi like she was stupid. Yuju kind of believed everyone was stupid, but that's because people didn't understand her way of thinking.

"Yuju apples don't last that long"

"Exactly, that's why I get a new one each day" Eunbi facepalmed. There was no hope for Yuju, no hope.
