Chapter 17- Where Joy and Sorrow meet

Hirai Momo's Point of View

The recent events that have happened with Nayeon unnie have definitely shaken everyone to the core. At first, we all thought it wasn't that serious. After all, what are the chances of her having an insane stalker, right?

But no.

Of all people in the world, this really had to happen to her. Not only was she shaken for days, she wasn't really the same the night after our outing. It was like a turning point not only for her but also for us. Nothing was the same then, everyone acted with caution. We always went outside of our dormitories with company, we just know that walking out alone is a bad idea. We don't know what his train of thought is.

Things somehow started to become gloomy, it wasn't the same. We didn't gather as much after, and whenever do gather it's usually quick and things aren't the same. I wasn't really as aware as the other girls. Of course, I also thought that asking would be really rude and insensitive. Basically, I knew about the whole situation through my dorm mates. At first, I thought it was really unbelievable. I mean, who stalks physically these days? Don't people utilize the internet? Don't get me wrong, I am not advocating people to stalk using the internet.

Jung Min Woo is a fucking Idiot. I hope he burns in hell.

But just when things seemed to have gone back to normal, he strikes again. This time, he just escalated his taunting method. A person like him shouldn't be allowed to be with society. In fact, that asshole is a danger to society. But for some reason, he gets away everytime. I have to be honest, I've always thought that things have been back to normal. I've always thought that maybe Jung Min Woo has given up. I mean, it's been months since we've heard anything from him. But I guess, predators don't rest. Right? That fucking animal.

Last night was the last straw. I couldn't believe that fucking monster really had to go that hard. I wasn't expecting him to be this hardcore. At first I thought he's just a weirdo who has obsession issues, but I guess he is more than that.

That bastard slaughtered an innocent cat as a threat. An Innocent cat. That was the confirmation that he's willing to do almost anything just to get to Nayeon unnie. This isn't right anymore. Everything's falling apart, I can feel it. This isn't how Nayeon unnie should live her life. No, this isn't how someone should live their life. This is preposterous. This is insane. This has to stop.

"Do you guys want something from Mickey D's?" Jihyo is the one driving, she seemed careful though. She probably doesn't want to ruin the mood in the car. I awkwardly wait for anyone to talk.

Everyone was quiet, we have been for hours now since we left Seoul. We haven't been this quiet in a while. The lack of sound, it's deafening. I am seated right beside Jihyo, Nayeon and Jeongyeon seated at the back together. They usually quarrel, but this time, due to the severity of the situation, no one dares to crack a joke. No one.

"Are you guys hungry? You guys should eat." Encourages Nayeon, I look at her through the rear view mirror. Her under eyes look a little discolored, she probably hasn't slept at all. She sounded a little off too, her voice was weak.

"What about you?" I ask her, genuinely concerned with how withdrawn she's become, it's quite disheartening to see her become like this. This is not how a girl in her early 20s should live. She's suffering so much.

"I'll just sleep here. I'm too tired." She sounded really weak. I turned my gaze to Jihyo, she gave me a look. A look that suggested that she felt really sorry for Nayeon. I just sigh, not sure how to respond to what Nayeon unnie said. I wish I could comfort her, but wishing won't do anything for her.

"I'm not hungry. I'll just sleep here too." Replies Jeongyeon nonchalantly. I just look at them through the rear view mirror and see that Jeong's just staring at Nayeon. Nayeon isn't looking back at her. Nayeon just closed her eyes, resting her head on the seat's head support. "If you guys want to eat, you guys can go ahead." Says Jeongyeon with finality in her voice.
