My Downfall | Killers List #3

New Home

"Eunwoo is going to be home soon. You guys have to go or he is gonna be mad at me. I'm so sorry and I wish you could stay but I have to listen to him." Eunha felt so guilty for making them leave but she didn't want her husband to be angry with her.

"It's fine, we're just gonna go stay with Sowon for awhile. She's making enough money to take care of all of us, and she has two less people to take care of, which would be you and...Yuju" Eunbi paused for a moment. It was difficult to say her name without feeling sad or wanting to cry.

"I'll come visit later then. Hurry before he gets home" Eunha rushed the girls outside to the car. They all hurried to the car with all their belongings, which wasn't much. "I'll see you guys tomorrow" Eunha waved goodbye as Yerin backed out of the driveway.

The three girls stood outside waiting for Sowon to open the door. Umji stood behind both Yerin and Eunbi. They saw her car parked outside so they knew she was home, there was no excuse for her not to answer the door.

"What are you guys doing here?" Sowon was immediately confused when she saw the three girls with frowns on their faces.

"Eunwoo kicked us out of the house..." Yerin informed. She knew Umji and Eunbi weren't going to speak up.

"He what?" Sowon gasped. She wasn't going to let anyone treat them like this.

"It was my fault..." Yerin shamefully admitted. She wasn't angry or sad about the situation. She felt bad for putting Umji and Eunbi in this situation especially since they were still struggling with the death of Yuju.

"Wait what do you mean by that?" Eunbi suddenly spoke. She didn't want Yerin to feel guilty, but she didn't know that it was partially Yerin's fault.

"When Sowon was shot and I was trying to help her you were drunk and I didn't want you to be a distraction so I made Eunha take you upstairs to your room. Eunwoo was about to take you but I yelled at him about how I didn't trust him and how I don't want him to take you so that's why I made Eunha do it. And then I told him to leave the room because I was about to take Sowon's shirt off so now he is angry with me and taking it out on all of us. He should've just kicked me out, not you guys. I'm sorry" Yerin hesitantly explained. She didn't feel bad at all for yelling at Eunwoo, but the situation did make her feel guilty and she hated that feeling, she hated it almost as much as she hated loving someone.

"Yerin that doesn't mean it was your fault. It's not just his house, Eunha lives there to so she should also get to make the decisions" Sowon said as she quickly rushed the girls inside the house.

"Well he pays the rent. Eunha got the decision to let us stay and he gets the decisions of whether we leave or not." Umji interrupted. Of course she wasn't making the situation any better, but that's because she didn't sugar coat things and she is a realistic person.

"I understand that but it's still not your fault" Sowon didn't care about them being kicked out as much as she cared about Yerin's feelings.

"He's just an asshole who can't handle the truth" Eunbi tried to make her feel better by insulting Eunwoo.

"It's not fair of him to kick you out just because you don't trust him. He doesn't even know you and vice versa, you guys never talk to each other so why does it even matter if you trust him or not?" Umji wondered. Maybe he felt insulted by Yerin's words.

"Well he probably thought that Yerin thought he was going to try to take advantage of drunk Eunbi and inappropriately touch her so that's probably why he is mad. He thinks you are making accusations about him as a person" Sowon quickly figured it out. She understood why it would make him upset but he should've known that Yerin didn't mean it that way.

"Maybe you should apologize?" Umji said with an uncertain voice.

"Hell no! It's not my fault that I don't want anyone to touch Eunbi. The only one that is going to be touching her is me" Yerin didn't even realize what she had said until she got a weird reaction from the girls, including Eunbi.

"That didn't sound right but I know you didn't mean it in that way" Umji laughed.

"There's that cute smile" Sowon looked directly at Umji. She quickly frowned again and rolled her eyes. She was actually annoyed by Sowon's comment for some reason.

"Ahem" Eunbi coughed.

"What is it?" Sowon averted her eyes from Umji and looked over to Eunbi.

"We're allowed to stay here right?" Eunbi asked.

"Of course! Make yourselves at home!" Sowon, for a few seconds, forgot all about the main reason they were here because she was so focused on the way Umji reacted to her comment a moment ago.

"How many rooms do you have?" Eunbi asked.

"Two. You guys will have to figure out who will be sleeping with each other since I'll sleep on the couch until you guys have enough money to get your own place to stay at" Sowon gestured for them to head up the stairs. Umji raced up the stairs. Eunbi got a few steps up the stairs until she realized Yerin wasn't going so she also stopped.

"What are you doing?" Sowon and Eunbi both asked in unison.

"I know I'm already going to be staying in Sowon's room. It's best for you guys to stay with each other. Umji needs comfort right now and so do you, I know it's hard to lose a loved one. I'm not good at comforting people so it just doesn't make sense for me to stay with either one of you. You guys need each other" Yerin smiled at Eunbi and sent her on her way back up the stairs.

"You're nicer than you think, Yerin" Sowon walked away with a smirk.

"I know..." she mumbled.
