"what? no, you can't. you stay-" i started but dahyun cut me off, "see you soon."
when she hung up the phone, i groaned while trying to call her back. if she came to a public place like a hospital, she would definitely get caught by the police.
the dial ended, no answer.
'shit, i have to stop her,' i thought, looking at my surroundings. there were police guarding the area. i was about to stand when the door to kai's room suddenly opened. rose walked out with ray. i stood up from my seat and approached them.
"how is he?" i asked, looking at rose who seemed really upset. she nonchalantly shrugged, looking my way. she said, "he's still in shock, he won't say anything. i'm just glad he's not too injured, just bruised around the body."
ray frowned and said, "the doctors said it'll take him time to recover from his shock. he has to go back to seoul." i nodded, remembering something, "oh, i forgot. dahyun is coming, she thinks she has a lead in the 'find my mum' project."
rose and ray looked at each other worried. ray asked, "but isn't she wanted by the police? what if they catch her?"
i thought for a moment and said, "by the looks of it, she could be doing a life sentence." rose's eyes widened and she spluttered, "w-what?! dahyun's innocent, she can't go to jail!" i rolled my eyes and replied, "are you sure about that? so many people died on her watch."
"i was just a coincidence. she didn't do it," rose said, looking at me. i stepped closer towards her and uttered quietly, "there's no such thing as coincidences." ray placed a hand on my chest and pushed me away from rose, he said, "hey, hey. instead of arguing, why not we figure out how to deal with the police? dahyun's coming any minute now."
rose sent a glare in my direction and said, "i'll go. she listens to me. i'll take her back home." i shook my head and said, "and what if the police see you with her? they'll be suspicious and you'll get arrested too! don't waste your life on some psycho."
"that 'psycho' is your friend, jimin. and besides, what other choice do we have?!" she whispered harshly, "i'm not just going to wait around until they take her, i'm going to help!" ray nodded and said, "me too. i know my dahyunie is innocent."
i rolled my eyes, not believing these two idiots.
rose said, "if you were her friend, you would help too."
"but i'm not! we stopped being friends three years ago when she killed my parents. she's nothing to me and i don't give a shit about her. i hope the police catches her so she can rot in jail," i said without thinking.
ray frowned at my words, he looked at something behind me. but rose seemed unfazed. i saw a few tears springing into her eyes. quietly, she said the words, "then why did you come back?"
i was taken back. i didn't say anything.
after my brief moment of silence, she continued, "answer the question, jimin. if you hate her so much...why did you bother looking for her...why did you call ray to ask where she was?"
rose kept her eyes on me. ray also turned to look at me. i was about to respond but stopped when they both looked away. they were looking at something behind me.
i also turned around, wondering what it was they were looking at. the moment i found out, my face instantly paled.
dahyun was standing a few metres behind me. she wore a blank expression on her face. she wore a cap which covered her eyes but i could tell she was upset. i started to panic.
