BOOK 3: BLOOM(Blood and Growls Sequel)(COMPLETE)

The throne

The girls keep on talking. Umji explains to them everything. Everything that she thinks needed to be explained.

"I was the one who told Heechul oppa about the attack... I told him not to tell you.." Umji said as she calms herself down and wipes her tears.

"I had to be cold towards him when I decided to go to him that time.. so that all of you really thinks that I was with Jackson's side. I had to bear all of it on my own so it looks realistic. No suspicions on both sides. Because I wanted to execute my plan smoothly. But then.. h-he did that to the queen.. that's when my anger rises up and then thought, it's the right time to come back.. so I attacked him." Umji elaborated.

Yuju covered her eyes and she's just crying listening to her sister. She got angry but Umji still thinks about her. She actually believed that Umji really betrayed them when in fact, she sacrificed herself for the Haven's sake. And her carelessness that has led to Jackson's attack. Yerin keeps on wiping Yuju's tears and calming her down.

Umji suddenly sits beside Yuju. She didn't say anything but then pulled Yuju and hugged her tight. She closes her eyes and leans her head on Yuju's. She heaves a breath and tightens the hug.

"I'm sorry, unnie.. I'm really sorry.. for everything.. if I had to leave, I'd do it." Umji mumbles, almost a whisper to Yuju and caressed her back.

Umji got stiffen when she felt Yuju's arms around her, hugging her back. Her heart started to throb when Yuju hugged her back. She's been waiting for that hug for a long time. The hug she always feel coming from her sister. The hug indicating not to let go, not to leave. She needs her. They both need each other. Yerin sighed in relief and hugs them both also.

"We missed you, Umji-yah.." Eunha mumbles, suppressing her tears and looks at them with her teary eyes.

Then the girls hugged each other. Few moments have passed, Umji started to feel something different. She clenched her chest and started to wince. Yuju got startled and they released the hug.

"Yah.. why? What's happening, Umji-yah?" Yuju asked anxiously while looking at Umji.

"M-My chest hurts.." Umji utters, still clenching her chest.

"AhH!" Umji winced again.

The girls started to get worried. Umji closes her eyes tight and her fists got so tight also, fighting the pain. She opens her eyes and breathes heavily.

"Oh ghad.. Yewon-ah.. you feel so cold." Yuju utters anxiously.

"What do you mean?" Sowon walks closer to them.

"Her body temperature." Yuju utters and looks at Sowon anxiously.

"AhH! U-Unnie... i-it hurts!" Umji clenched her chest more and closed her eyes tight.

"Let's go inside. Come on. Let her lay down." Sowon utters and they helped Umji to walk.

Sinb looks at her worriedly and immediately helped her. She helps Umji to lie down the bed and immediately covered her with a thick blanket. Umji didn't hesitate to accept it and covered her whole body.

"What is happening to you?" Eunha asked worriedly. Umji shakes her head.

"I d-don't know. I suddenly f-feel so c-cold." Umji tries to reply.

She holds Eunha's hands tight and feel her warm skin. On the otherhand, Eunha feels Umji's hands are so cold. She looks at Sowon anxiously.

"I-It's so c-cold, unnie.." Umji mumbles with her eyes closed while holding Eunha's hands, seeking for some warm.

Eunha suddenly laid beside Umji and covered their bodies with the blanket. She hugs Umji and caressed her arms and back to warm her up. Umji didn't hesitate to move closer to Eunha.
