Welcome To The Nightmare (Book 2)

Chapter 31: Hope For Reunion

JiU woke up in a room. She looked beside her, seeing SuA was sleeping beside her while holding her hand. Her throat felt dry. She maneuvered carefully to grab a water bottle besides her. But the bottle fell on the floor with a thud, waking SuA up.

"JiU ah.... You're okay." SuA hugged her tightly, crying on her shoulder. JiU returned the hug, gently rubbing her back.

"What happened, love? You suddenly went frantic then catatonic before passing out." SuA sobbed as she asked JiU.

"I'm sorry, dear. You must be scared. It was just.... When I heard Drei's name, the nightmare came back to me." JiU whispered, her head hung low. She started to cry.

SuA hugged her again and kissed her head to calm her down.

"I'm sorry..." JiU sobbed.

"Hush now... I'm here. He's not gonna hurt you anymore." SuA held back her tears.

It always breaks her heart whenever she saw JiU's crying. It was extremely hard for a strong person to break. A sight of their breaking is never a good sight. She broke the hug and picked up the bottle from the floor. She opened it and gave it to JiU.

"You just rest here, okay? I'll tell the others you've woken up. They were worried sick of you." SuA smiled at her, about to leave the room but was held by JiU.

"Sorry, but I need some strength from you." JiU pulled SuA closer and gently kissed her lips. SuA returned the kiss and kiss JiU's forehead before going to the others.

"Hey, how's she? Has she woken up?" Siyeon asked SuA as she saw SuA.

"She awake and fine. She's resting." SuA took the empty seat beside Handong and took out her cigarette.

"Why was she passed out? Did she tell you why?" Yoohyeon asked SuA.

"She was just spooked. The man named Drei, he and two of his men killed her parent. And those fuckers didn't grant them an easy death. Killed them in front of JiU when she was still a child." SuA exhaled the smoke.

"Poor unnie... That must be traumatic for her." Handong muttered.

"But at the bright side, this is a chance for us to find him for JiU's sake. Maybe a fresh intel on Gahyeon's whereabout if we were lucky. She did say they were looking for Gahyeon too, right?" Siyeon lit her cigar.

SuA just nodded, staring aimlessly, her mind still thinking of JiU.

"I'm sorry. But who's Gahyeon?" Joy asked.

"Oh, that's right. You three didn't know about JiU much. Well, care for a story?" SuA realized something.

She told them everything about JiU's past. Hoping they would understand JiU better. When she finished, the room fell silent. Some of them were crying, the air felt dark.

"Those bastards..." Joy wiped her tears.

"She... just looked so happy and cheerful...." Dami cried.

"The person who smile the most held the most pain inside." Handong sniffed, wiping her tears.

"Unnie, we have to find them. Find Gahyeon and unite her back with her sister. She saved us with her life as an expense." Yoohyeon said to SuA, her voice full of determination.

"Don't be mistaken. She's not saving us to help her for her revenge. She saved us because she understood the pain we've been through. So never do anything on your own. We go if she says go. And that's that." SuA finished the topic.

Right on time, JiU came towards them. She was startled when she saw puffy eyes and runny noses everywhere.

"Okay..... Chill, ladies. It's not like I'm dead." JiU gave them an idiotic grin. Dami stood up and hugged her tightly.
