My Downfall | Killers List #3

Back in Business

"I don't know. I've never heard of her" Yerin shrugged. She felt like a failure for some reason. She usually knew everyone in this business but maybe she was new.

"I guess Sowon is a traitor" Eunbi rolled her eyes and scoffed. She couldn't believe that her friend—her "sister"—would do such a thing and betray them all.

"No don't call her that" Eunha said. "Maybe she just wants a fresh start" Eunha wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt but that was a difficult thing to do.

"A fresh start without us?" Yuju questioned. Yerin and Eunha were worried. They were trying to keep everyone positive but it kept backfiring and biting them in the ass.

"That's not what I meant" Eunha facepalmed. "At least my house wasn't burnt down to the floor thanks to Sowon" Eunha was grateful for that but other than that she didn't know how to feel. She was happy for her but also sad that she was leaving and didn't even say a word to them. But then again, Eunha did the same thing on the night of Sowon's birthday.

"Yeah. Well now what do we do?" Umji asked.

"Well now that Sowon is gone that's one less person to feed so we will probably save some money every month" Yuju tried to look on the bright side but it was hard for her too. She missed Sowon already. They were all like a family.

"Yuju she barley ate that much. We'll only be saving like $20 a month at least" Yerin frowned.

"Well maybe we should find someone to do business with?" Eunha suggested.

"Yeah like who?" Eunbi rolled her eyes. She didn't even try to be optimistic, she knew it wouldn't work.

"I don't know but I'm sure we can find someone if we look hard enough" Eunha responded to Eunbi thinking that she was asking a question although she wasn't.

"What about that Jihyun girl that Sowon was talking about?" Yerin had a bright light in her eyes suddenly.

"But Sowon works for her and if we get involved then we'll probably just ruin everything again. Sowon obviously doesn't want to work with us anymore. And if Jihyun finds out that we all know Sowon then she probably won't let us work there. Maybe Jihyun won't even accept us. I don't think it's a good idea" Umji looked at all the cons instead of pros. It wasn't that she was an evil thinker, she was a deep thinker and people seemed to misunderstand the two total different words all the time.

"Umji has a point" Eunbi sighed. What Umji said was true. Trying to start business with Jihyun could be a waste of their precious time.

"Let's just try ok guys? If Sowon can do it then we can do it" Yerin put her fist in the air to try to encourage them but they didn't react at all. They were all so emotionless, even Yuju.

"Wait I'll do it first" Eunha paused. "I'll go meet up with Jihyun first and see if it works out and then I'll let you guys know, does that sound like a deal?" Eunha suggested. It sounded like a good deal to her and it was one she was willing to take. It wasn't even about seeing Sowon again, she just wanted to help them get back in business so they could make money and finally leave her house.

"Are you sure?" Yerin raised her eyebrows. She was concerned for her. She didn't want Eunha to make any irrational decisions but maybe it was for the best.

"I'm sure Yerin, don't worry about me" Eunha grabbed her hand and smiled at her. Yerin quickly pulled away and glared at Eunha which made Eunha feel a bit embarrassed. She was being dramatic in Yerin's opinion. Yerin looked at it as if Eunha were acting like she's in some sort of an action movie or book.

"I'm not worried about you" Yerin lied. "If you're gonna do this then you need to be prepared for rejection and hard questions. If she says no then you can't keep begging her. It'll make you look desperate and weak" Yerin informed. If Eunha was going to do this then she needed to do it right. There were no second chances or second first impressions in this business.

"I'm ready. Let's do this right now" Eunha had adrenaline rushing throughout her whole body. She was ready for this.

"Don't get ahead of yourself now Eunha" Yerin tried to calm her down but she was too excited and nervous.

"No Yerin I'm ready right now. Come on take me there" Eunha ran towards the front door.

"Alright guys lets get back in the car" Yerin sighed and the rest followed her to the car.

"Do you even know where the building that she works in is at?" Yuju questioned.

"I don't know if you know this Yuju but there's this thing called google fucking maps!" Yerin turned around and shouted for some reason. They figured it was just because she's stressed about what could all possibly happen within the next few hours.

"Alright are you ready? Take this gun with you just in case something goes wrong" Yerin handed Eunha her favorite and most valued gun. It really showed how much she truly cared about Eunha.

"I'm not gonna die, am I?" Eunha hesitantly reached for the gun.

"I don't know. Depends on what you do and decide to say. Just make sure it's good and make sure you leave a mesmerizing impression, even if it's a bad one" Yerin nodded at her as she took the gun. The group gave her thumbs up before she got out of the car.

She walked into the building that was full of people. It actually seemed like she was in a bar. There was music playing, lights flashing, and drunk people dancing. There was also bartenders and two muscular men standing by the front entrance.

"Oh god what did I get myself into?" She mumbled to herself.
