Boyoung’s been hearing some loud footsteps on her way back home; the footsteps of someone with a goal in mind. Whether or not she lived in her own miserable circumstances, loud, eery, and fast approaching footsteps, while walking alone in the middle of the night, was enough to make any normal person nervous.
She began to walk faster, maybe even jog a little. Home wasn’t the safest place anymore, but it was good enough to at least paint the illusion of safety, and she wanted to be fooled by that as soon as possible.
She took a turn into the back alley of her home, and was suddenly met with a body in the dark, and out of fear induced instincts, Boyoung swung her fist at the stranger… followed by her solid purse as she let out a very audible scream.
Although she wasn't scared, Hyunjung had to admit that she was a bit on edge. After all, her mind couldn't simply be playing tricks on her. Patrolling this late at night always made her feel a sense of nervousness, but it was never too much for her to handle. She simply had to keep reminding herself that this is what she wanted to do; it was her choice.
Of course, that did little to completely calm her down, especially the moment she stumbled right into someone who didn't even seem to hesitate before hitting her in the face— and then smacking her with her solid purse. The shock and impact of it all caused the officer to stumble backward, doing little to catch herself as she landed on her bum. Her hand flew up to grab her nose and... oh god, was that blood? The pain came in waves, but she couldn't be too angry... this woman was clearly scared of her.
She knew it would only be a matter of moments before the girl would notice her uniform and then likely realize her mistake, so she just leaned her head forward and let out a groan. She still managed to gather her joking sense of humor, however, and her eyes trailed up to meet the girl before she attempted to smile, though she was soon ceasing that and hissing a quiet, "Ow, ow, ow." After pausing, she started to stand to her feet. "Uh... boo?" She dropped her head, the warmth on her hand and metallic smell overwhelming her. "... Sorry."
