Jeongyeon - The video

A/N: WARNING: Graphic images. Viewer discretion advised.

Jeongyeon had been having trouble getting to sleep. She would lie awake for hours, tossing and turning until she would pass out from exhaustion. And when she did close her eyes, she would jerk awake within minutes.

No matter how many days it had been since she had found Momo lying dead in their room, she still had the same nightmare.

She would close her eyes and instantly be transported back in time. Back to the day she had decided to come home from promotions to check on her room mate instead of going to eat with the others. She would approach the door and a feeling of dread would settle over her. The walk through the dorms was agonisingly slow. The sound of her shoes hitting the floorboards would echo in her ears, clashing with the sound of her heartbeat. 

She would reach her bedroom. The one she shared with Momo.

"Hey Momoring!" She would call, her voice shaky because she knew for certain something was terribly wrong. "Momo! Are you alright in there? I'm gonna open the door."

Everything in her mind would scream at her to keep it shut. To stay out of that room. She knew what she would see when she walked in. She knew that this would cause the nightmare all over again.

But every single time, no matter how much her own mind screamed at her to stay out, Jeongyeon walked into that bedroom.

Momo was lying on the ground. There was a kitchen knife coated in blood lying dejected to the side. Her wrists... her wrists were slit. 

There was blood everywhere. 

She lay on the floor on her back as if she had fallen over. 

There was blood everywhere.

She was moving slightly and her eyes turned up toward Jeongyeon. They were filled with panic, regret, shame, sadness, longing, and fatigue. She was so, so pale. She moved her jaw as if to speak and Jeongyeon caught a glimpse of her gums. They were white. She had lost so much blood.

The worst part about it was that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move as her room mate died slowly in front of her. No matter how much screaming and crying she did, Jeongyeon was stuck fast at the doorway, watching the blood seep out from Momo's wrists. No matter how many times she had this same nightmare, she would always end up watching Momo's eyes go blank and her body rot away.

Then she would wake up, sweaty and crying and alone.

She had thought this would go on forever, but only the other day has she found the only thing that seemed to get her to sleep.

It was a video. She had found it on her phone. It was taken a week before Momo was murdered.

"STOP VIDEOING ME! I'M TIRED AND I WANNA GO TO SLEEP!" Jeongyeon yelled and shuffled so that the covers were over her head.

"But you're so cute when you're falling asleep!" She voice behind the camera crooned and then giggled uncontrollably as Jeongyeon continued to squirm.

"Go AWAY MOMO!"

"Fine, fine." The voice said and turned the camera around to face them. Momo's smile looked strange beneath the tears that fell profusely from her eyes. 

Jeongyeon couldn't hear her at the time, but Momo had whispered one last thing to the camera before switching it off.

"I love you Jeongie."

After she watched the video a few times, Jeongyeon found that she could fall asleep with ease.
