CHAPTER 24

                                    

                                          
Minjeong got out of her car. She decided to go for a late-night jog on a park. She put on her headset and played a playlist of classic songs.
she ran around the park for a few hours. She didn't count, actually. she just ran until her legs gave up.
"phew..." Minjeong panted and walked to one of the benches there. "what am I doing?" she asked herself. Minjeong stayed for another few hours.

Jimin visited the mansion in the evening. Jin said that Minjeong wants to be alone for a while but Jimin still stayed on the living room. she then watched the front door opened. Minjeong walked in with her sport bag.
"hey." Jimin smiled at her. "Alice said you didn't want to eat her food for days."
"I'm not hungry." Minjeong lied. She just didn't want to eat her food. She didn't trust her enough.
"you just worked out. there's no way you're not hungry." Jimin furrowed her eyebrows.
"I have no appetite." Minjeong said then looked at Jin. "did I tell you I want to be alone?"
"yes, miss. She insisted." Jin informed.
Minjeong just sighed and walked upstairs. She took a brief shower and changed into some comfortable clothes. Minjeong laid on her bed and plays with her phone. She didn't know why she opened her gallery.
Swipe, swipe, swipe. Most of the pictures are just her and her victims. She shivers at the memory. Tears started forming on her eyes. delete, delete, delete.
Then she came across a normal picture. She and Yujin smiling, holding boxing gloves. She noticed that Yujin was the one holding her phone. They both looked happy at that time. she remembered that that's the first picture she took after her first match which she won easily. A smile formed on her face.
After she deleted most of the sinful pictures of her 'work', she found a picture of herself holding her father's gun. She swiped then a similar picture of her came to view, this time, Jin is also in the frame with a peace sign. Then that's it. She emptied her gallery and keep the three pictures.
"Minjeong? I bought you a sandwich." Jimin walked in. she then sat on the bed beside Minjeong. "no tomato and pickles. I add more cheese."
Minjeong looked at Jimin and took the sandwich. She unwrapped it and checked the layers. She then took a bite of it.
"you like it? I noticed you always took out any tomatoes from any dishes."
"hm..." Minjeong hummed with her mouth full.
"I'm glad." Jimin smiled at her and pat Minjeong's head spontaneously.
Minjeong stopped chewing and stared at Jimin. She didn't know how to react at the treatment that Jimin gave her. 
"ah, sorry. I'll get you a drink." Jimin then left the room.
Minjeong only stared at her sandwich. At that moment, she felt herself came back to when she's 5. She suddenly missed her mother.
"I don't think coffee is good for you now. I made milkshake." Jimin placed the glass on the bedside table. "let me know if you need anything."
Jimin went downstairs and chills on the living room.
"how's she?" Jin sat across her. "she must've been stressed out."
"as long as she ate, she'll be okay. I guess." Jimin smiled at him.
"thank you." Jin looked up at her. "you've been taking care of her." 
"I just feel like she needed it."
