Nayeon - The selfie

Nayeon pulled out her phone as she lay on her bed and began to flick through her photos. She didn't know why she started to do this. She just had the sudden urge to find a photo. A photo that she couldn't seem to conjure up in her mind. She had never felt this sort of urge before. It was as if something were tugging on her hair or taking her hand and telling her: 
"YOU NEED TO FIND IT."

The only problem was, that she had what seemed like thousands of photos saved, none of which poked out at her when she scrolled through. It would take her hours and hours to check every single one and find what she was looking for, and she didn't have enough patience for that. 

She scrolled and scrolled. She looked past hundreds of images and photos and videos, none of them catching her eye.

"What are you doing?" Jihyo asked as she walked into the room. It scared Nayeon and the phone almost flew out of her hands and onto the floor.

"Shit!" She exclaimed and clutched her thundering heart dramatically. "You scared me!"

Jihyo rolled her eyes and walked to her bed.

"You know we have practice soon." She said as she pulled something from underneath her pillow. She put it into her pocket quickly and then walked to the wardrobe to find what seemed to be a pair of pants. "You should get changed." She said and walked out of the room briskly.

Nayeon watched her leave and then lifted the phone back up. She froze when she saw the picture.

It was a selfie. A selfie with Momo. She had her arm around her tightly and their cheeks were pressed close together so that Momo's smile was pushed to one side of her face. Her eyes were turned to Nayeon in the image.

She remembered taking this selfie. They had been out shopping together.

"Hey Nayeon," Momo suddenly spoke and took Nayeon's hand. "Can we take a selfie?" She asked, her eyes turned toward the ground as if she had done something wrong and was afraid to confess. Nayeon laughed at the girl's silly expression and  pulled her phone from the pocket of her jeans as she placed down the shopping.

"Here?" She asked and readied the camera. She looked around at the street and pulled down her face mask. Momo nodded and pulled her own down. 

"You're weird." Nayeon laughed again and pulled her friend close and raised the camera above them to get the best angle. She clicked the capture button a few times.

"There." She said. "Do you want me to send them to you once we get home?" Momo shook her head and replaced her mask and picked up her bags again.

"Just use it as a memory or something." She mumbled. Nayeon swore that she had seen a tear creep its way out of her eye. 

"Why did you want to take the selfie then?"  She asked as the continued their journey down the street. Momo didn't answer.

That selfie was taken exactly a week before she was found dead. A week before she had been murdered two years ago.

Nayeon put the phone away and wiped her tears. It was time to practice.
