"Yujin!!" Minju exclaimed, running after the ambulance since Yujin's mother didn't allow her to go. She's not an athletic type, so does is have good stamina but her body started to move on its own chasing the vehicle.

It's no mere dream. Everything that's currently happening is real. The fact that it's suffocating her proves it's real. She didn't know what on earth exactly happened to her but she just can't stand Yujin being like that. The last thing she saw from Yujin was a big smile as if she achieved something big. It just worries her seeing the giant puppy smiling with injuries around her body.

Bit by bit, Minju's body gets weaker by running. Fortunately, Kriesha stopped her before her condition would be worse.

~~~

"Goodbye Kriesha unnie, goodbye Minju unnie"

Kriesha jumped out of her chair the moment Minju woke up. It was just too sudden. Minju is trembling as she tries to catch her breath, probably because she had a bad dream. Without second thoughts, Kriesha rushes downstairs to get a glass of water for Minju.

"Stupid question but are you feeling alright?" Kreisha asked, handling the latter a glass of water. She most likely guesses that Minju would lie but it's better if she asks then not.

"I'm not completely fine but I'm feeling better, " Minju answered with a weak smile.

Kriesha was quite shocked about Minju telling the truth. She would lie but Kriesha could easily see through her lies.

"Where's Yujin??"

"She's currently in the hospital. You tried to catch up but you fainted while doing so. I know you worry about Yujin but please don't do anything reckless"

"Oh, It's not a dream then, " Minju lowered her head. She could still remember how Yujin looked like earlier. It's strange how something unpleasant to see pops up in her head.

Kriesha also lowered her head. Of course, she would be worried about Yujin. She was just walking towards home when she suddenly saw a person collapsed and tried to help that person. She didn't expect it to be Yujin and she also didn't expect to have that many injuries.

She could see in Yujin's eyes that she was in deep pain, physically and emotionally. She noticed that once Minju showed up, Yujin showed a frail smile, her eyes saying "I've done well" but for what reason? Kriesha has yet to find out

"Do you perhaps want to go to Yujin?" she asked Minju

"Maybe not now. It's pretty late, "  Minju answered

"Say, mind telling me what happened before Yujin got. Well, you know?" Maybe Kriesha would have an idea of what happened to Yujin. Asking Yujin the reason won't help her, she knows that Yujin wouldn't say the reason.

Minju nodded and explained every little detail that happened earlier. Kriesha carefully listened to her remembering all the information she could get. Once she heard Chaewon's name, she might have an idea of what happened. Chaewon is the one who beat up Yujin, but there is no complete proof yet.

Hearing Minju's story was like different dots, if it's connected correctly then Kriesha would know the answer to why Yujin was like that. In the first place, Kriesha did talk about Chaewon and she could see how a part Yujin was pissed at Chaewon.

To make this simpler, Chaewon might be the reason why Yujin came back injured.

¹ Minju and Yujin met Chaewon. Yujin was still mad at Chaewon so she decided to follow Chaewon but Minju stopped her.

² Yujin easily found an excuse by saying she will just buy ice cream but the truth is she just wants to talk to Chaewon. What Yujin wants to talk about isn't known but seems like both sides agree to meet each other later on.

³ Yujin went back to Minju with ice creams occupying both her hands to be less suspicious. They both eat and left once they finished the ice cream.

⁴ They bid their goodbyes and once Minju is finally inside her house, it was the perfect time to have a talk with Chaewon. She went to have a talk but it's like they have gotten into a fight, Yujin being a victory. It explains why Yujin smiled at Minju, her eyes saying "she did it"

That's what Kreisha thought but then again, it's not yet proven.

Chaewon isn't known to be that type but as Minju said, she seems to change into a new person or she brought an accompany and that person beat Yujin up.

Kriesha decided to keep everything for now. It's too early to pinpoint a  certain person (publicly) without definite proof.

"Unnie you okay? You seem to be in deep thoughts. Anything troubling you?" Minju asked her making her snap back to reality.

She giggled seeing how pure Minju can be. "No need to worry. I'm completely fine", she smiled as she pats Minju's head.
