Cha-Ching

I don’t remember how it started but it did.



It was a fine morning and I woke up to notifications repeatedly coming from my phone.



I was used to it now. It had been 2 weeks since the dating rumour and the George Floyd rumour.



The notifications sort of became my alarm.



I sighed and silenced my phone and went to the bathroom to get ready for the day.



As usual, I wore something that would make me blend in.



I looked in front of the mirror and make sure I had everything on.



1: Sweater ✔︎

2: Short Skirt ✔︎

3: Timberlands ✔︎

4: Cross-over purse ✔︎

5: Beanie ✔︎

6: Glasses ✔︎



I checked that everything was in place before I left the house.



Surprisingly, I blended in really well and no one even looked at me. Everything was going well, until I was suddenly surrounded by a mob of people.



I looked around and there was so many people starting to crowd me. I was confused until I saw the signs.



“#JUSTICEFORGEORGEFLOYD”

“KIM EUNJI DOESN’T DESERVE MARK LEE”

“#EUNJI&MARKSHOULDBREAKUP”



My mind was spiralling. I didn’t know what to look at. I was losing control with the loud protesting, words everywhere, how close everyone was, and the camera flashes flicking as a picture of me was taken.



I fainted in the middle of the street.
