JEONGYEON'S POV

Paramedics arrived, the respondents were doing their best to rescue this woman at the floor who seemingly lifeless already. It happened countless times, I am so immuned seeing lifeless bodies in this field I've chosen.

I am still kinda annoyed with Lisa, it's the least place I expected her to be hanging out. Is drug her thing now? Have she became a drug dependent or what? My bad I got distracted and my cover was blown. I was too close, we almost caught the big fish. Just when we thought we got the owner of the club cornered and we could proceed to file a case. I've been working for this mission for 3 months and now it all goes to waste. I really snapped awhile ago. My boss also gave me a serious nagging for not sticking with the instructions. I was set to do an under cover mission. Everything was well planned. I'd blend to those whores for almost two months perfecting my skills. We only got Solar who doesn't have the slightest idea that this club is just a front. The real owner of this club is selling drugs, illegal gambling and prostitution. Dung it, we don't have enough evidence to back up our allegations. Say good bye to my promotions, I guess.

As much as I wanted to talk to Lisa, I need to finish some tasks at the station. I'll just talk to her when she is sober.

Her friend is being carried on the stretcher by the rescue team. Lisa followed them to the ambulance.

"Hey, we are not done yet" I said coldly.

"Jesus, Jeongyeon, give me a break. My friend is on the verge of dying. I'll talk once she is okay." She said firmly. "By the way, nice outfit." She mocked. I dressed up too revealing, that's the instruction, though.

"Gees, whatever." I gave my calling card, "Here, in case you are done, baby sitting your stupid friend. You know where to find me." And then I went in the opposite direction. Funny that we crossed our path like this.

She's still stubborn and hard-headed. We were childhood buddies. Our parents were busy at work so they left us at the play house. I was victim of bullying and Lisa was the only person who stood up for me. I didn't know that one day we will be separated. I promised her that I won't let anyone got hurt or be bullied. I will be as brave as her. I stick up with that code. I decided to become a police. I don't know if she became a doctor or whatnot. That was her dream job.
I really look up for her like she was my own hero in the past. If I have a chance, I'd love to catch up with her. But today isn't a good timing for us.

LISA'S POV

3 A.M. we got to the nearby hospital. I was asked to stay outside the emergency room. Wendy saw us coming out from the ambulance, she look terrified seeing Seulgi in that state. She went inside the emergency room and personally assist the medication. She promised she will provide me any updates. Jennie has been calling me so I picked up.

"Lili, where are you? I am really worried about you."

"Well, I'm at the hospital, just outside the emergency room, to be exact." I jested.

"What are you doing here at this late hour? Are you alright?"

"I'm good, Nini. Just a little drunk but Seulgi isn't. She is inside the emergency room but Wendy's with her already so there's no reason to panic."

"I'll come down there. Just wait for me. Kai's already sleeping, we argued as usual, he wanted me to go home." She complained.

"Okay I'm just here. I'll spill everything later."

****

Just few minutes later, Jennie got here. I was trying so hard not to fall as sleep. So I kept talking. I told her everything she wanted to know from what happened earlier until Seulgi and I got here at the hospital. Poor, Jennie, aside from being stressed about her own husband, now we're included on worry list:
