Girl Who Cried Wolf

Train Station

Umji opened her eyes, gasping for air. She found herself in an old train station with people sitting everywhere. All the benches were filled up. Everybody looked so dead inside. They had no facial expression. They all sat there with the same blank face.

She got up from the seat and turned around. She saw a board above a desk that had different locations and time of arrivals, like an actual train station. She walked to the edge of the railroads and looked down the long, dark hall. It was an entrance and exit.

She was about to step down onto the railroad when she heard a bunch of horses coming down the pitch black entrance. She took a step back when she saw three ghost riders come in riding horses. They didn't even bother to look at all the people trapped here. They simply rode past them all as if they didn't exist.

"Can you believe we're going to be seniors next year?" Yerin widened her eyes, a look of excitement showing up on her face.

"High school really did fly by." Eunbi frowned.

"You act like you're going to miss school." Sowon said after seeing the sad look on Eunbi's face.

"You're not going to miss school?"

"Hell no. I will never give this place a second thought when I'm done with this hell hole."

"Yeah, right. I'm sure you'll miss it once it's over." Yerin rolled her eyes.

"Have you guys seen Umji?" Yuju arrived. She looked panicked.

"Who's Umji?" They all asked in unison. Yuju was taken aback for a second. She thought maybe they were lying, but they didn't seem like they were. She realized that she was the only one who remembered Umji, but unfortunately, she, too, would forget Umji soon.

"Never mind. I have to go." Yuju hurried away.

"That was weird." Yerin looked back at Yuju with a confused expression.

"I've never heard of anyone named Umji, have you?"

"No. That's such a weird name."

"Hm. Oh, well." Sowon shrugged it off.

"Anyways, have you got any idea what Eunha would want for a birthday gift?"

"Um, I know she wants a car, but you don't have enough money for that."

"Well, what are you going to get her?"

"Nothing. She doesn't want anything from me."

"Women always say that, but still actually want something. You don't know what to get her, huh?"

"No, I just know that if I got her a gift right now she'd burn it right in front of me."

"Well, that's what happens when you cheat on someone." Yerin looked ashamed of Sowon.

"I deserved that." She frowned.

"Yeah, you deserve a lot of bad things but since I'm a nice person I'll resist the urge to beat you up right now." Yerin innocently smiled at her.

"Lets not fight right now." Eunbi split the two apart.

"I'll be right back." Sowon took off when she saw Eunha heading to the office.

"She deserves a punch to the face." Yerin glared at her.

"Yeah, I know and I agree but you can't do that at school."

"Eunha, good morning." Sowon greeted her.

"What do you want?" She rolled her the eyes the second she saw Sowon coming her way.
