My Downfall | Killers List #3

The Fall

"You drank too much." Yerin laughed as she helped Eunbi get in the car. Yerin only had a glass or two, so she was okay to drive. She felt fine, actually.

"Look what I brought." Eunbi held up the wine bottle with a smug smile.

"I already paid for it, you're allowed to take it." Yerin laughed at Eunbi's disappointed reaction.

"Oh..." Eunbi frowned and drank more of the dark red liquid.

"Don't you think you've had too many?" Yerin glanced at Eunbi with a worried expression before starting the car engine.

"No way José!" Eunbi waved her index finger. "Maybe I should stop though so I can save room in my stomach." Eunbi sighed and set the bottle in between her legs so it wouldn't fall on the floor and spill everywhere inside the clean car.

"Save room for what? You're going to bed when we get home. Everyone else is sleeping and we need to be quiet and it's not easy to be quiet when drunk, especially for you." Yerin shook her head. She was always thinking about the others and how certain things would effect them.

"I'm craving for something other than wine. Something with more taste." Eunbi, with the complete intention to do so, tightly grasped onto Yerin's thigh.

"Don't distract me when I'm driving." Yerin immediately flinched and pushed her hand away. After that it was silent for awhile.

"I thought you were super hot today!" Eunbi blurted out. She couldn't stop thinking about it the whole time they were at dinner and she wanted to get it off her chest. After that she silently put her head down shamefully.

"Yep, you've definitely had too much to drink tonight. Let's get you inside." Yerin wrapped Eunbi's arm around her and helped her walk towards the door, the bottle of wine in Eunbi's hand.

"Get me inside where?" Eunbi smirked.

"You seriously need to go to bed." Yerin rolled her eyes as she unlocked the door.

When the door opened Eunbi's arm slipped from Yerin's and she headed straight to the floor. All Yerin heard was a loud thud and saw a dark figure lying on the floor. Eunbi laughed but Yerin didn't find it to be funny while she was trying to find Eunbi's body so she could help her off the floor.

"I fell." Eunbi kept laughing while Yerin helped her stand up properly. Soon Yerin let out a little laugh but she made sure to keep it short.

"Come on. You need some sleep." Yerin set the bottle of wine on the table and helped Eunbi up the stairs.

"Can you take my clothes off?" Eunbi asked as she yawned and jumped onto the bed.

"No. Why would I do that?" Yerin glared at her. She understood that Eunbi was drunk and had no idea what she was doing or saying, and even though she also knew that Eunbi would forget everything in the morning she was still feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Because I'm too lazy." Eunbi whined. "My pajamas are in the closet." Eunbi pointed to her closet door and kicked her feet in the air. She felt angry for some reason.

"I'll get the clothes but you can do everything else. I'm going to my room." Yerin threw the pajamas at Eunbi and made her way towards the door.

Yerin grabbed the door knob and began to twist it when she suddenly heard Eunbi quietly let out a single groan. She was afraid to turn around but her head still turned in Eunbi's direction. When she turned around Eunbi was passed out on the bed half naked.

"Idiot." Yerin shook her head and scoffed as she left the room, but there was a slight smile on her face.

Yerin came rushing down the stairs after she heard the front door close. When she got down the stairs she looked into the kitchen and saw Umji who looked a bit shocked.

"Why the hell are you running down the stairs so loudly?" Umji sighed and turned around to continue on with what she was previously doing.

"Who was that? Where did they go? Who just left?" Yerin questioned.

"It was Sowon, why do you care so much? She's just going to the market to get more fruits and eggs." Umji rolled her eyes. She hated when people were being dramatic for no reason.

"Is Eunbi down here? Is she even awake?" Yerin calmed down after being informed that it was Sowon who had just left. She awkwardly scratched her head and sat down at the table.

"Nope. I checked on her this morning because usually she'd be awake by now but she is in deep sleep. She was even half naked, I wonder why." Umji suspiciously looked at Yerin.

"We didn't do anything—I didn't do anything—I mean...well...maybe she felt too warm?" Yerin facepalmed. She made herself look like a complete idiot.

"What do you mean by you didn't do anything? So does that mean Eunbi did something?" Umji leaned against the counter. She was very interested in what Yerin had to say.

"She grabbed my thigh, that's all I swear." Yerin refused to look Umji in the eyes. She knew Umji would be able to make her confess.

"And what else is it that you're not telling me?" Umji raised an eyebrow.

"She told me she thought I was hot and that's all that happened. It's the complete truth." Yerin was now willing to look Umji in the eyes knowing that she had nothing else to hide.

"How many bottles of wine did she drink?"

"Only three."

"Only three?" Umji gasped. "What do you mean only three? That's a lot, Yerin." Umji couldn't believe Yerin let Eunbi drink that much. Usually Yerin would only let the two youngest of the group drink a certain amount before she made them stop.

"I know but she needed it. There's been a lot of stress in our life lately, and I could sense that she was stressed and I wanted to help but this was the only way I knew how." Yerin admitted. She always knew when one of them were struggling with something. Although Eunbi never once mentioned it, Yerin knew she was still having trouble getting over the fact that Yuju was gone and always will be.
