Distracted

'Why is she acting this way? Why would she burn her purse like this? Why would she want to destroy it? Hmm…' Although she was clearly dubious, there was no way for her to get to the bottom of the matter.

"Whatever, I'm going inside." Seemingly having given up on the subject, she turned around and was about to return into the house. However, just as she was about to pass by Mina, suddenly, she stopped.

"What is that red stain on your clothes? Is it blood? It looks like blood." She said, having already noticed a trace of blood on her dress.

This instantly sent Mina's heart into her mouth as she was perturbed and flabbergast at once.

At that moment, in her thunderstruck state, hundreds of thoughts were rushing through Mina's head as she tried thinking of something to say. 'Anything' to say!

Thankfully, in the end, she could find the answer she was looking for. "I had a nosebleed."

"…" Listening to her response, Morana remained silent while staring at her face. A few seconds later, she opened her mouth at last, "Oh, is that so."

Then, she continued walking as she disappeared into the house.

"Phew…" Watching her finally leave, Mina couldn't help but release a sigh of relief.

Several hours ago, having experienced betrayal from both her boyfriend and cousin, being struck by lightning, and having been fired from her job, she felt her day and even life couldn't get any worse.

But only a few hours later, after being kidnapped by some gangsters, being almost raped, and having been surrounded by numerous bloody corpses, she realized just how wrong she had been.

'Why is this happening to me?' This tragic thought was the only notion that kept repeating itself in her brain.

Notwithstanding, recalling the stain of blood discovered by her cousin, she immediately rushed into the house as she threw all of her clothes into the washing machine before going into the shower.

Soon, as cold water poured on her pretty face and body, at last, Mina could no longer keep it within herself as tears started to flow before it quickly merged with the cold water showering her.

…

After coming out of the shower, the first thing she did was to get her clothes before returning to her own room with them. She didn't even want to dry them outside. That was her level of caution and perhaps even paranoia at the moment.

Finally having returned to her own room, after locking her door, a slight sensation of security overwhelmed her as she threw herself on her bed.

Following that, without herself even realizing, she fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next day!

…

Didididing! Didididing! Didididing!...

Being forced to wake up by the ringing sound of her watch which had been previously tuned according to her working time as a part-time model, as the messed up events of yesterday flashed through her memory, Mina became dazed.

SLAP~

After half an hour of staying like that, suddenly slapping herself very hardly, she cried, "Get it together! Mina! You did nothing wrong! You just escaped from a scene you absolutely didn't commit!"

Subsequently, as a way of trying to distract herself, she picked up her phone and unlocked its screen.

And indeed, what she witnessed next was truly successful in distracting her temporarily.
