Waiting for You in a City | [JenLisa Adaptation]

09

Water seeped into the bottom of the car, dirty and ice-cold, wetting Jennie's shoes.

She crouched on the seat and dialed 119, repeating what she just said, and added, "The car is sliding towards the bottom of the bridge, and starting to fill with water. It may only take four minutes to flood."

"Okay, we have firefighters near your location and they have already been notified. Please keep your phone available and hold on just a bit longer!"

"Thank you." Jennie hung up the phone, feeling it was inexplicably difficult to breathe. She lowered her head and hugged her legs, allowing herself to calm down for a second.

Water flooded the seats.

Jennie quickly looked around the car, but couldn't find anything sharp, and it was useless to call for help. The wind and rain were too loud, no one would be able to hear it. She called a few times but no one answered, she was at a loss.

As the car slid underneath the bridge little by little, the street lights gradually shifted, and in an instant, the car disappeared into darkness.

The water quickly overflowed past Jennie's waist, and the space inside the car became smaller and smaller. The rain washed down, the rapids surged, and the water level inside and outside the car rose at the same time.

The torrential rain clattered against the car roof and windows, as if someone was shaking the confined prison violently.

Jennie pulled up Eunwoo's number on her phone and was about to make a call when the front of the car swayed downwards, suddenly accelerated, and slipped towards the bottom of the bridge. She immediately climbed into the back seat. The body of the car swayed and jolted, seemingly breaking away from the ground and floating in the water.

Jennie's heart plummeted as she realized there was a warning indication of rapid sinking.

She banged on the car window, "HELP!"

"HELP!"

The sound of wind and rain drowned out everything.

The entire city was on the verge of being shut down in the middle of the night as a torrential rainstorm raged.

In its endless corners, it seemed that countless people were being forgotten.

Jennie was isolated in the large, dark and airtight enclosure.

The car windows were splattered in rain, the world outside was blurry, and it was so dark that she couldn't see anything clearly.

The water inside was getting deeper and deeper, eventually submerging most of the windows.

Jennie repeatedly slammed the glass.

Suddenly, a flashlight shone, she cried out for help, and the light got closer and closer. Immediately, a large female palm patted against her car window, which was clearly reflected in the curtain of rain through the glass.

With help from the flashlight, Jennie saw that her sleeves were orange, it was a firefighter.

"HELP!" Jennie slapped her palm through the glass.

The other party quickly smashed the car window with the rescue hammer, but the car wheel was already off the ground and could not be stabilized. When the hammer went down, the car suddenly spun in the water and drifted into the depths.

Jennie rolled from the seat and fell into the water, unable to control her center of gravity for a while.

Her feet could not touch the bottom.

The car body rotated, she floundered in the water and choked on a few mouthfuls of rainwater. With great difficulty, she struggled to grab the car seat and floated up to the top, sticking her head out of the water.
