Jinsoul directly took a drink from newly opened soju bottle almost finishing almost the whole bottle. She placed it down on the table softly and stared at the wall in front of her,

"Here's your order ma'am." A waitress said before placing it down on the table before taking the empty plates with her, she stared at the raw meat in front of her before grabbing the tongs beside the plate as she slowly puts the meat on the portable grill. She rested her chin on her fist and stared at the meat boringly.

She didn't care about the noise and the talking from the people, plates clanking, meats sizzling and the employees yelling to get an order done and so on. Her mind is off to somewhere God knows where. She didn't hear the bell ringing as the door opened, the person who entered sat down in front of her before taking a fork and ate one meat that was already cooked. Before humming, "Didn't know bitterness tasted this good." Jinsoul didn't react at all as she continues to grill the meat before taking another Soju bottle,

"Didn't know you'll be back so soon."

The person chuckled sadly, "You're cuts are not yet to be healed, why are you back so early?"

Another person sat at the their table holding a paper, "The lawyers are looking into it. First trial might be next month but we still can't locate Park Jisung and Park Kyungmin. After Europe they just disappeared, 50 died, 64 injured." The person said and gave a folder to Jinsoul who glanced at it before going back to her work, the other person sighs and frown, "Jinsoul, we're not going to be able to finish everything if yo—"

"If I what Ha Sooyoung? If I keep mourning for my bestfriend's death?" Jinsoul cut her off, her voice sounded so hoarse and dry. She looked lifeless and very exhausted, her body was screaming for rest, her mind is dead. "And she wouldn't rest if you don't do something about it." Sooyoung replied firmly, "If she doesn't want to do anything about it then I don't know why I'm wasting my time for this." The person stood up with a disappointment look, "I left Yerim alone for too long. Take your time and contact me if you finally get your shit together." Yeojin said sternly before leaving,

Sooyoung sighs and shakes her head, "Jungeun is worried sick of you, she thinks you're dead too." She stood up and before leaving she looked at Jinsoul who seems to be still in her own world. "I'll process everything on your behalf. Just make sure you go back to see the people who cares for you."

After she left Jinsoul exhaled deeply and closed her eyes. What even is happening?


Jungeun removed her glasses and placed it down gently on the table before sighing. She rubs her aching forehead, these papers are too much to read, her brain can't keep up anymore. Handling two companies is killing her to the point she just wants to run away and not care about anything else anymore. Her eyes landed on the clock and it was 10pm already. She sighs and stood up,

Well time to put the kids to sleep. She groan mentally knowing that Jungsol might be a pain in the ass again. No not today, she's taking no BS tonight. She wished someone would be with her to help her with everything.

"Jin? Jungsol? Time to sleep." She opened the door and crossed her arms, as expected Jungsol is again on her computer screaming over a video game with his friends online. Her eyes landed on Jin who was watching some fight before screaming onto the screen about punching and kicking and grappling whatever words he was spatting out that Jungeun can't comprehend well. "Jung Jineun, Jung Jinsol. It's time to go to bed." She the again said firmly but it seems like that two ignored her making her sigh in frustration.

"Yah! Are you two listening?!" She slam her hand on the door making the two flinch in surprise, they looked at their mother in fear.

"I said at 10pm you should be on your bed ready to sleep! Did you two even do your homework?!" Jungsol turned off his computer rather quickly before sitting beside Jin who also turned off the tv. Jungeun massaged her forehead and sigh, "You have 5 minutes to be on your bed ready to sleep. If I come back here, I'm going to spank you two with a stick you hear me?! I am not joking!" She yelled again before closing the door with a bang.

She groan before going downstairs to grab some water to cool off. She feels bad for yelling at them but the two are really stubborn and won't listen to her properly. Already stress from work, she doesn't need more stress at home.

"Fucking Jung Jinsoul." She cursed under her breath before drinking her water,

"That's not nice." She froze on her spot as she slowly turned around. There she was Jung Jinsoul, standing in front of her. Breathing.

Wait...

She spat out the water directly towards Jinsoul who was now soaking wet, "Aish." Jinsoul said and sighed, Jungeun placed down the glass on the counter before approaching Jinsoul who was cussing and whining about getting wet from Jungeun's mix water and her saliva. "Ugh so gros—omo." Jungeun launched herself towards the girl and hugged her tight, Jinsoul was about to say something when she felt her shoulder getting wet. "A-Are you c-crying?" She pulled away from the hug and stared at the girl who lowered her head down still sobbing,

She frown and places both of her hands on Jungeun's cheeks before lifting her head up, "Look at me..." She said softly as Jungeun's eyes look up and sniffed, "I'm safe..." She reassured and placed a quick peck on Jungeun's forehead, "I'm here now okay?"

Jungeun nodded before pulling the girl for another hug but Jinsoul stopped her making her pout, "Whyyyyy?" She whined making Jinsoul chuckle, "I don't think you like to be wet from your own water that came from your mouth." Jungeun rolled her eyes, "Then go get change!" She stepped back and crossed her arms, the older girl smirked,

"I'm going to take a shower." She said but the way she said it made Jungeun suspicious,

Jinsoul then pulled her and smirked widely, "And you're coming with me."
