Up in the Sky

Separated

      After Chaewon, Minjoo and Minjung left, Nako went back to bed. Eunbi and Hyewon has gone into the shower. Sakura and Yena had found their way back to the game room where they played Animal Crossing with their switches at their gaming station. Hitomi founded a secluded area in the basement to read her novel. Yujin, Wonyoung and Yuri stayed awake conversing in the living room. Chaeyeon stood in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

       Crash! "Um what was that?" Chaeyeon asked not turning her head.

"Ah!" Yena screamed. She jumped away when her computer collapsed. The girl looked out of her window to see a person running away.

Pop! Chaeyeon heard. Whatever that sound was, it wasn't a good one. "Hello? What happened to the water?" Eunbi questioned.

"Let me go check." Chaeyeon stepped outside and felt the ground beneath her squish. Chaeyeon found that water gushed out of the silver pipes. She turned her head and looked at the security camera. Chaeyeon pulled out her phone and dialed the police.

Yena turned to her destroyed computer and examined the broken window. In the brick, she found a message. Stay away from Haechan! He's my boyfriend. Plus you're ugly Minjung.

Yujin creaked open her door and shuttered at the broken glass on the floor. Smoke flew in through the window. Yujin slammed the door closed and ran. "Hit the deck!"

A series of pops and bangs echoed throughout the home. Pieces of dirt and dust seeped into the basement causing Hitomi to look up from her book. The house shook violently. It didn't take long for Hitomi to know what was happening, she felt it many times in Japan. She dove under the thick wooded table. As soon as it started, it stopped.

The youngest Japanese member sprinted up the stairs after a few seconds of waiting. "Is everyone alright?" Her eyes furrowed when she didn't find nine bodies huddled under the dinner table.

"Tomi!" Nako shouted. The shortest pulled the other into a bone crushing hug.

"We need to get under the table Incase an aftershock comes." Hitomi told.

"It wasn't an earthquake. It was a bomb." Yujin sobbed.

"What! But who- who would do that?"

"The fire department is outside." Eunbi told. The girls filed out of the house and were checked for injuries. Sakura pulled out her phone and dialed Chaewon's number.

   "I'll take care of her. And I won't leave her side. I promise. Oh speaking of... Sakura's calling. Hello Unnie?"

"Where are you three?"

"We're going to get some jajangmyeon."

"Come back as soon as possible. Something has happened." Sakura exclaimed.

Minjung eyes flickered to Chaewon's through the rear view mirror. The eldest made a U-turn and drive back to their home. When they reached home, Minjung and Chaewon's jaw dropped.

"Oh my-"

       Chaewon stepped out of the car after being blocked off with police tape. Minjung's heart pounded in her chest. Minjoo felt Minjung's hand become clammy and looked at the younger. When she sat up and turned, she and Minjung both scrambled out of the car running to whichever member they saw first.

      For Minjung, it was Sakura. She reached the older's shoulder and turned the older girl around. Minjung placed her hands on Sakura's cheeks and searched for injuries. "Oh thank god you're okay. Where's everyone else?"
