it isn’t exactly sensible to walk into a basement that had been previously locked and apparently homed a feral raccoon as well. but that kind of sensibility is thrown out of the window when curiosity comes into play. she’s also grown more insensitive to these kind of things, heading down the basement without much hesitation or worry, until eunmi grips the back of her shirt. “you’re not gonna die, eunmi. it’s just a basement.” bomi says, coming to a short stop. she catches glimpse of what’s inside when someone switches on the light.

“look,” she glances over her shoulder to shoot the girl a small smile in hopes of comforting her. “we’re all here, nothing bad’s gonna happen.” then she whirls her around so eunmi is now standing in front of her, hands on her shoulders to guide her in. “now let’s go before we get left in the dust.”

“right. it’s just a basement.” she echoed the other, reluctantly opening her eyes. however, her tight grip on bomi’s shirt remained. though she attempted to buy the idea that it really was just a basement, her mind wouldn’t stop questioning the mystery of how the door suddenly unlocked itself for the group to explore. how convenient.

but because it was bomi telling her these things, eunmi felt it necessary to trust her. she knew that the other would never trick her into anything eunmi wouldn’t like. as long as she stood by her side, everything would probably turn out okay. now that she’d been spun around to lead the pair, eunmi knew that she had to at least try to put on a brave face. “you’re right! that would be worse. you can follow me, bomi!”

he nods, letting her ramble about her excitement over sunja’s camping invite. jihoon didn’t get many details, just the bare bones of the getaway, but it was enough for him to agree before he’d even thought to consider the consequences of missing work. eunmi probably hadn’t thought about that, either, but it’s not like she’d have to worry about missing work. hence why he’s here, borrowing money from her once again. ( he’ll pay her back when he makes it big, he swears. when, not if. )

her innocence would blow him away if he hadn’t had years to get used to it. rich kids really do live in a completely different world; it’s a miracle he’s able to even communicate with eunmi, with how sheltered and unaware she is. as it is, his joke falls flat, though through misinterpretation he still elicits her giggles anyway. jihoon doesn’t try explaining the term to her, in case she sees the derogatory implication to their friendship in it; he chooses to laugh along, letting her keep her ignorance and bliss for longer.

jihoon pulls a face, already knowing how much he needs. “you need better friends, eunnie,” he says, then, “i dunno, just like. for rent and stuff, y’know? work covers rent exactly so if i miss it, uh, my job as a struggling musician gets promoted to like, homeless musician.” he shrugs his shoulders in a bit of nonchalance, taking a sip of his latte to stop himself from grimacing at the very real possibility.

he decides on a redirection, for both their sakes. he doesn’t want eunmi to feel obliged ( even though he hopes she spots him the money ), and he’d feel much better if he could do something for her in return. luckily, he’s known eunmi long enough to know what she likes best – a friend’s company.

“but hey.” jihoon leans forward, resting his arms on the table. “never mind that. what d’you wanna do today instead?”

eunmi listened to the other and was quick to nod her head in agreement. “of course, nini. anything you need! i’ll link the money to your account later today.” she took another sip of her drink before sharing her thoughts with a playful smile. “or we can just spend the rest of today house shopping if you’d like to instead.” eunmi giggled to herself at the spontaneity of the idea. for a second she thought, what would my parents say? the girl humored herself, thinking of possible explanations she could give them. but a tiny voice in the back of her head stopped her, reminding eunmi that such a scenario would most probably never happen.

her laughter slowly faded, replaced by a small, forced smile. she didn’t want to ruin the mood between the two of them over something so miniscule. especially since jihoon had taken time out of his busy schedule to invite her out.

“as long as i’m with you, i’ll enjoy myself no matter what.” she assured her company. “today we’ll do whatever you want to do and it’ll be my treat!” eunmi stood up from her seat, offering her hand out to the other. “we can go shopping, hiking, watch a movie, travel anywhere in the world— whatever you want!”

DAY TWO / 12:15AM — it’s a quick walk back to your room from the kitchen. however, on your way back to the safety of your room, it appears that wonjin hadn’t closed his door. but what sets off the warning sirens is the overwhelming smell of blood. without your touch, the door opens wider, letting the hallway light in and revealing a nauseating scene. red everywhere. the furniture. the walls. the ceiling. only this time, it isn’t one of your nightmares. this is as real as it gets, darling.

no...it definitely IS a nightmare. what else could the scene possibly be?! how else would the door have opened up to coincidentally blind her with the sea of red, flooding itself in the cabin. eunmi couldn’t think— she couldn’t move. her limbs were numb and she found her vision blurring. the girl sobbed silently, desperately wanting to scream and call out for help. she had decided to go on the trip to enjoy herself in the company of friends, but this was NOT what she meant by that.

in that moment, eunmi was filled with many regrets. she regretted not ignoring her growling stomach. she regretted not just staying in bed. she regretted not waking up jihoon to accompany her. (why did she choose tonight to finally be a big girl and go on her own??) eunmi recalled wonjin flashing his pocket knife in front of the fireplace just hours prior to this moment, but now it was nowhere in sight.

was this her life flashing before her eyes? was it a sign telling eunmi, “you’re next!” where is everyone? how did this happen without anyone realizing?

the questions ran rapidly through her mind until they didn’t. finally, her thoughts were silenced by the piercing sound of her scream.

day 1 (night time), OPEN

eunmi’s lips were fixed into a permanent frown as she followed the gang down towards the cabin’s basement. she had protested strongly, but her cries went unnoticed as the rest of the group headed down regardless. knowing that staying upstairs alone would only frighten her MORE, eunmi scurried towards her friends, tailing them as closely as humanly possible. trying her best to hold back the tears in her eyes as they crept down the stairs collectively, eunmi gripped her hands tightly onto the shirt of the companion who stood before her. “please don’t let me die. please don’t let me die.” the girl continued to murmur to herself; her voice becoming increasingly strained with each plea.

“why are we stopping? is something wrong?” she asked, not realizing she’d now buried her face into the other’s shoulder in fear.

he feels a bit of guilt at eunmi’s excitement. his company isn’t all that, in all honesty, and he doesn’t doubt that she could find far better, less broke people to spend her time with. jihoon can’t help it, he instinctively mirrors her broad smile and holds out a hand to steady her drink before she knocks it over. they can’t have it all; eunmi is starved for genuine interaction, and he’s got way more bills to pay than he has hours in a day.

“if you’re sure you’re not gonna get tired of me by tomorrow,” he teases, nodding. he gives his time freely, and it’ll be the weekend, anyway. a couple of days is nothing to how much eunmi’s been willing to give him.

“yeah, that one,” he says, when eunmi holds up her phone. “i thought you’d like it!”

jihoon pulls a face at her next question. “uh, i probably can’t, i don’t have off days and i’d be kinda fucked if i miss work for like, a whole week, y’know?” she doesn’t, she’s never really had to live paycheck to paycheck, but he knows the way she’s prone to respond despite that.

a couple of years ago he’d have felt no guilt about asking her for a bit of money because she’s got far more than she’ll ever need. but years of asking have worn a little on his pride, and even though he’s still perfectly fine with it in theory, asking the girl, in person, right now, makes him hesitate. so he defaults back to his usual – another joke.

“eunmi, i have to ask you something.” he clasps their hands together, looking seriously into her eyes and fully aware of the bullshit that’s about to spill from his mouth. “will you… be my sugar mami and fund me one more time?” he cracks on sugar mami and his eyes curve up into a smile, pulling the other girl in on his request couched as a dumb joke.

“oh!” she gasps, noticing jihoon reaching out to prevent her cup from falling. “you’re so considerate, nini. thank you!” in an attempt to ease her excitement, eunmi placed the cup on the table, placing her hands gently in her lap. all the while, she continued to smile at her company, thinking how nice it was to have some company after being alone in japan for as long as she was.

eunmi shook her head firmly in protest. “i wouldn’t get tired of you even if we spent the whole rest of the year together.”

like. she pondered on the word as the image of camping started to rush into her mind. without meaning to, her lips pursed out and her face found itself scrunched up in thought. “i was a little scared at first— being surrounded only by trees and the dark at night— but i’ve been assured that we’re staying in cabins and there will be lots of snacks! also it would be nice to see the gang back together.” another happy hum murmured against her lips before bringing her attention back to jihoon.

“ask away, nini.” she stared patiently at the other; eyes wide and full of curiosity. though, she would be ashamed to admit that her full attention was not entirely on the one who sat before her. another part of her mind had wandered off somewhere, thinking about what kind of cakes would be good to eat right now.

when he’d finally dropped his question, the girl couldn’t resist breaking out in a fit of laughter. “sugar mami?” she repeated, hysterically. “that’s a really funny name, nini. but i guess it’s understandable since i eat so many sweets.” she let a few of her stray giggles slip from her lips before nodding at the other. “but i’m always here for you, of course. how much did you need?”

he laughs at her excited response, genuine and unfettered. “c’mon, princess, you gotta learn how to drive a lil’ better than that.” he pets her head when she pouts, shaking his head at her. “man, rich kids really have it easy,” jihoon adds, and his words would be sharp if his tone wasn’t the same easygoing, harmless one he knows the other girl won’t take offense to.

they sit, and eunmi’s attention is on her drink for a short moment before she perks up again, putting yet another package on the table. he hasn’t kept count of all the things she’s gifted him from her many travels, but he has kept track of where she goes, living vicariously through her instagram stories in between breaks at his jobs. it’s been so long that he no longer feels the twinge of envy at her lifestyle, glad that she’s having the fun he can’t (yet!).

“aw,” he says, pulling the box towards himself. “thanks, but, shit, i don’t have anything for you, though.” jihoon frowns, but it’s only half-serious; his broke ass has never managed to get eunmi anything substantial but his time and company. he’ll just have to make it up to her the same way he does, by being extra attentive for the day. and the next few days, come to think of it, because of what he’s about to bring up.

“how about you’ll get an entire day of me to yourself for today and like, the rest of the week – that’s a fair trade, right?” he holds out his arms, jokingly self-deprecating, then keeps them back in, leaning forward over the table. “but yeah, i wanted to ask if you got sunja’s text. are you gonna go?”

eunmi furrowed her brows. “i’m really trying, i swear!” she protested. “but the other cars just seem so close, and they’re driving so FAST...” her confession became a frustrated mumble. “it’s just so scary.” when the other began to pet her head, eunmi couldn’t resist the sneaky grin that crept across her lips. “mhm.” she purred aloud, nodding her head. “i’m quite fortunate. i don’t know what i’d do if i weren’t born into my family. i’m not talented like you, so i think i would be in big trouble.”

at his response to her gift, eunmi huffed, shaking her head from side to side, rather firmly. “i don’t give you gifts because i expect anything in return. i just want you to be happy and enjoy them, silly.” she pouted, resting her chin in the palm of her hand. “if you don’t smile, then i won’t smile.” the girl threatened the other, lightheartedly.

she couldn’t stop her desire to share; whether it be sharing her adventures abroad over social media or through a plethora of gifts. of course, while some interpreted her actions as bragging, that was far from the truth. in reality, she was quite aware of how lucky she was and didn’t really think it’d be fair to keep all of it to herself.

“do you really mean that?” eunmi bolted upright to the edge of her seat, nearly dropping the drink in her hand. “i’m going to hold you to that, ‘kay?” her smile was really beaming now. with a giddy squeal, the girl couldn’t help but dance in her seat.

at his question, the girl tilted her head slightly, blinking at the other curiously. “am i gonna go...?” she echoed the question out loud before scrolling through her messages until finding sunja’s name. “oh! are you talking about the camping thing? if so, i think i am. you should too, nini!”

@cxeunmi — a few days before day one!

he looks at sunja’s text, weighing the pros and cons of spending a week in a couple of probably old cabins in the forests of no where, who knows. pros: he gets shitfaced, and maybe gets lucky (in more ways than one). cons: he misses the part time jobs he’s juggling for a week, has zero dollars in his bank account and misses rent. in other words – possibly homeless is his worst case scenario.

is it worth it? hell yeah.

mostly because ‘possibly homeless’ has been the worst case scenario since he’d graduated, and he’s meeting the only reason he isn’t in a couple of minutes. it’s definitely an unbalanced friendship; if he thinks about it for too long he’d have to admit that he’s ashamed about how much he relies on eunmi’s bottomless wallet and even bigger heart to get by. thankfully he’s never spent much time on that – he genuinely enjoys her company and her friendship, and the extra benefit of having his rent covered isn’t mutually exclusive to those two. maybe he’ll bring the trip up to eunmi, see if she’s planning on going.

“hey! eunnie!” he waves a hand at the shorter girl, scrunching up his face to make a silly expression before letting his genuine smile break through, beaming at the girl making her way over. “you’re late,” he teases, standing to pull her chair out for her. jihoon pushes the drink he’d ordered for her, familiar with her usual order. “didn’t miss me that much, huh?”

cxeunmi-blog

eunmi had just recently returned from a trip in tokyo and was already bored sitting alone in her room. so when she’d received a sudden text from jihoon, the girl couldn’t be happier with the timing. jumping out of bed, the girl hurriedly got ready to meet the other, though she’d met a few bumps along the road on the way.

at the sight of the other, eunmi reflected a toothy grin, running over to meet the other like an excited puppy. “of course! i missed you so much!” she gushed in response, seating herself in the chair he pulled out for her. “i’m sorry to have kept you waiting— i wanted to try to drive here on my own, but i kept hitting the curb.” the girl explained sadly, her bottom lip pursed out, forming a heavy pout. “so the staff took the keys away from me and i’m not allowed to drive again for another week at least.”

her sad mood didn’t last too long, however. after taking a few sips of her drink, eunmi perked up in no time, shooting her companion another smile. “oh i almost forgot! i brought back some mochi from japan for you! i hope you like it.” she placed the carefully wrapped package onto the table, gently nudging it towards the other.

“anyway, what’s up, nini? did something happen or did you just miss me that much?” eunmi grinned playfully towards the other. whatever reason he had for calling her out, the girl didn’t mind. she was grateful and welcomed jihoon’s company wholeheartedly.

what a 𝕔𝕠𝕚𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕕𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖

sometime before the trip, ft. @finalboyz

of course she was aware that inchul was employed at the country club frequented by her family (more specifically, her mother). however, it would be a lie to say that spotting the two familiar faces together wasn’t strange. but despite the strange feeling stirring in her stomach, eunmi approached them with a bright smile.

“inchul!” she called out to her friend and former classmate with a wave. “did the country club give you a promotion? perhaps you’re on a business lunch with my mother?” eunmi’s questions slipped innocently off the tip of her tongue. right. she thought to herself. they must have some sort of official business with each other.

the girl greeted her mother with a polite bow; granted she hadn’t actually seen the woman in weeks.

“were you headed for the hotel’s restaurant? i was too!” without meaning to, she interjected with a response before either person could answer her question. as per usual, she’d cluelessly painted a scenario in her head and not looking into the situation any deeper.

eunmi glanced at the two briefly, confused at how the mother who chose not to hug her own daughter could act so comfortably with someone who should be a stranger to her. but she quickly brushed away the thought, linking arms with inchul to put him in the middle of herself and her mother. while she would never admit it outloud, she was somewhat afraid to attempt to get so close with her own mother.

“let’s head in together!” she flashed another toothy grin before pulling the others behind her.
