Through Sunsets and Midnights

24

Crawling their way over the railings on the small balcony the room they were staying in has,

It was her and her brother's room so she already knows how to go down from this 7 foot ledge,

Let's say due to her own experience and his very own brother's way of going down,

She's just hoping that throughout all of the years this house has been standing on their land,

The metal fixings and railings they'll need to step on wouldn't suddenly break and make things much worse for the night.

Minju's holding on to their bags with everything they need for the night in it as she herself even took one for the team,

She went out of the door separating the room they were in and the whole house with its huge halls and high ceilings,

Making her paranoid about that singular flying cockroach that's literally smaller than the two of them combined,

She ran to the kitchen since Chaewon told her she could go anywhere she wanted to because she didn't really have to,

The place they're going to also has a kitchen but she's not that sure if it'll have food in it,

Grabbing some packs of ramen, biscuits, bottles of water, boxes of juice and even a handful of instant coffee packets,

Minju ran back as fast as she can with Chaewon having the door open with a gap smaller than her finger's size.

"Are you sure it's safe to go down here?"

Watching Chaewon hang onto the ledge of the balcony and the wall right next to her,

Making her look like a literal stray cat having a hard time finding a good position to land on,

Isn't making anything better for Minju's trust issues of going down things other than a ladder or actual stairs.

"I am sure."

Searching for one more thing to step on that Minju can reach too,

Chaewon's always ready to catch herself whenever she's in situations like this,

But she's not that sure about Minju so she won't be doing this 3 and a half feet jump just to reach the ground faster,

She can sense that Minju doesn't have the same braveness she has once she actually does this,

And she doesn't her making another route on her own later when she's in the same situation as her.

"I just need to see if it's strong enough to hold us on the way down."

Taking two more steep steps down the wall and the wire fencing they have by the little porch they rarely use,

Her last step was on a trash can she doesn't know why is there but thanks to that stainless steel circular lid it had on top of it,

The surface area was enough to hold both of her feet on top making the last step down much easier than the first 8,

She's already thinking about Minju even though she's still there by the balcony,

And Chaewon's thinking that she'll be able to do it just as fine as how she did.

"See? Give me a bag."

"Can I even make it down?"

"If I could, you could."

"I'll be right here."

Making it down with a few scratches along Minju's left knee since her foot slipped earlier before the last and easiest step,

She kept assuring Chaewon that it wasn't anything compared to an actual wound so she wouldn't be worried about her,
