► Causality. — Emma & Sulli.
+ [ ssultaku ]
Their friendship started in the weirdest way possible, at least for normal people. Emma would sit on the same street from 5pm until about 9pm, right where nobody would see her. Why? Well, she was told that the female she’s been trying to catch for about a month lived there. It was a lot of money only to follow her and see how the female’s schedule were, so she had to be patient, it was worth it. As normal, her eyes were looking over at every person who walked past the place where she was hiding, hoping that she could 'casually' bump into the stranger. Honestly, looking for someone in Seoul was hard, finding someone by chance didn’t happen every day, at least not for Emma and although she was exhausted, she couldn’t let slip the fact that the tall woman walked right in front of her eyes in that moment.
Quickly, Emma stood up and reached her hands to pat the dust off of her pants –yes, she was sitting on the ground, to look as natural as possible— she then started to follow the other, who’s vague and slow pace was starting to annoy Emma. She had insane schedules, therefore she was always running, and she couldn’t remember the last time she went out for a walk after school or in the morning. Her life was nothing but college, arrange papers and then the “normal”, follow someone or sometimes, fly to Japan to meet up with her boss. It wasn’t something common, most of the heads of the Yakuza didn’t meet up with the people working for them, but she was special, spoiled, others would say.
Emma carefully followed the other’s steps, a good amount of feet away, just to make sure she couldn’t see her. But what she least expected to happen, well, happened. The other turned to face her, with a light, innocent smile. Did she see her and notice what she was actually doing? Emma, of course, turned to face one of the stores that luckily were on the sidewalks. But this time she couldn’t get away with it.
It was different now, Emma was in front of the same building, but she wasn’t hiding now, just leaning her back against the concrete wall. “It’s me… Emma.” She quickly added her ame in the last minute to avoid the “who’s me” game. She was waiting for her friend to open the door. It was pretty paradoxical, how the line between work and personal life faded away, it was the first time it happened. But she couldn’t do anything about it, Sulli was a lovely person and nobody could deny it. She tried to stay away from her, but her bubbly and selfless personality sort of dragged Emma in and there was no way out. She didn’t even try to unfriend her either, though.
