My Downfall | Killers List #3

Negatives to Positives

"Just a little longer" Yuju groaned as she hit the snooze button on her alarm.

She tried to wake up but she failed multiple times. She had already hit the snooze button about seven times before she actually opened her eyes and stretched. She turned over and felt for Umji's body but she wasn't there.

"Umji?" Yuju's head quickly popped out from underneath the blankets.

She looked around the room but it was empty, except for the piles of paper and clothes on her desk and scattered around on the floor. She didn't understand how Umji could be so organized yet such a mess at the same time. Yuju was just a complete mess.

She slowly crawled out of bed, literally. She got down on her hands and knees and crawled towards the door because she was too lazy to actually get up and use her feet to walk herself down the stairs where she could smell food being cooked.

"I smell food" Yuju sniffed the air once she got into the kitchen and finally stood up on her feet.

"It's not for you" Umji simply stated. She seemed to forget everything that happened yesterday. She didn't seem as affectionate, but maybe it was Yuju overthinking and craving for her attention and intimacy.

"Is it for you then?" Yuju suddenly became sad.

"No. Yerin is sick. She puked in the middle of the night but she decided to go back to sleep. Me and Eunbi were up all night trying to help her. Seems like she got the flu or something" Umji shrugged as she stirred the steaming hot soup.

"Can I taste it?" Yuju was about to dip her finger into the bowl of hot soup but Umji tightly grabbed her hand and held it in place above the steam.

"I said it's not for you" she had an angry look in her eyes. Now Yuju had every right to be a bit confused as to why Umji was suddenly acting this way.

"I'm sorry" Yuju backed away and let Umji finish whatever it was that she was doing. She hated getting in the way of people.

"Good, now you know not to do it again" Umji sighed as she watched the steam travel up to the ceiling.

"Excuse me if I'm wrong but did I do something to upset you?" Yuju grew curious. Most times if she had questions she'd keep it to herself but she couldn't let this go.

"No you're just being annoying"

"It sounds to me like it's more serious than that. Seriously Umji, tell me what's wrong" repeating a question that Umji didn't want to answer wasn't usually a good idea, but Yuju enjoyed getting on her nerves. She loved the way she'd react, but not this time.

"I said I'm fine. There's nothing wrong" Umji rudely remarked. She turned off the burner and poured some of the soup into a bowl.

"Give me the soup" Yuju grabbed the bowl out of her hand.

"What are you doing? Stop" Umji tried to reach for the bowl but Yuju stood on her tiptoes with the bowl in the air as high as she could reach.

"Tell me what's wrong and I'll give it back" she smirked.

"Stop playing your childish games. Yerin is sick and she needs the soup" Umji glared at her in return.

"Ok fine, sorry" Yuju just wanted to know the truth. Maybe it was too much to ask for. Yuju didn't ask for much, and if she did, she asked for small and simple things like nail clippers.

Yuju sulked in the back of the kitchen near the living room. Of course Umji felt guilty, she wasn't purposely trying to be rude to her. She just wasn't in a very good mood considering the fact that she was up all night listening to Yerin puke her guts out.

"Yuju, I'm sorry" Umji had an apologetic expression. "I'm just tired, it has nothing to do with you" she reassuringly smiled at Yuju.

"It's ok. I'll always forgive you" Yuju gave Umji a second to set the bowl down on the table so she could hug her.

"I know you will" Umji had a cheeky grin. She quickly grabbed the bowl and tapped Yuju's butt before she hurried up the stairs.

"I didn't give you permission to touch me!" Yuju yelled back, jokingly of course. She'd never be mad at baby Umji.

"You didn't give me permission to kiss you last night either" Umji shouted back, a chuckle following behind her comment.

"I'll see you when you get home" she kissed her fiancé goodbye before he went to his car.

Eunha anxiously waited while she watched her fiancé pull out of the driveway. She wanted him to leave so she could go to the pharmacy but it felt like he was taking forever this morning. She watched until his car disappeared.

Suddenly she ran out the door with her key in her hand. Her shoes were already on. She had prepared herself while he started his car so she could get out of the house faster. She nervously waited for the car to start so she could hit the road.

She rolled her eyes when she saw a few kids slowly walking by. She hated waiting for pedestrians. They always took their sweet time and didn't care about anyone else, specifically the people in the cars waiting for the person to pass by.

She finally was entering the pharmacy, feeling a bit excited and frightened. She looked around the whole store although she already knew what she needed. She just wanted to waste time and stall because she was so afraid of what the answer might be.

She rushed back to the aisle that had the exact stuff she needed. She quickly grabbed a box and rushed to the cashier. She felt a little uncomfortable buying such a thing in front of someone, but it was only normal. They have probably seen so many people, especially woman, buy theses products.

Her mind raced to every possibility on her way home. She couldn't even focus on the road, or anything else for that matter. She had one certain focus in her mind that she couldn't get rid of. Not until she knew the answer. She hoped it will be what she's wishing for.

Finally she arrived home safely. She locked her car doors and ran to the front door. She was in such a hurry that she didn't even lock the front door, but she did close it so the cold air couldn't get in.

She tossed her shoes by the door and raced to the nearest bathroom, which is obviously going to be the down stairs bathroom in most houses. She grabbed the product out of the box and did her usual business.

She was in utter disbelief. Her reaction would've told you everything. She went from smiles to tears constantly once she saw the pregnancy test. She didn't know whether to be excited or worried.

And indeed it was positive.

Another baby Eunha would be welcomed to this world in nine months.
