"Where were you?"

"Are you okay?"

"Junghee-ah did something happened to you?"

Dani, Sohee and Jaehyuk bombarded me as soon as I reach school and I wasn't surprised at all. I've been avoiding them the whole time as I didn't want to tell them my problems.

I sometimes felt like a nuisance by telling others my problems so I usually kept it to myself but somehow I am in a happy mood today.

It was lunch and I sit where all of them were which surprised them and thus me getting bombarded with lots of questions.

"Relax guys", I calm them down but they are so not calmed.

"Just spill already!"

Jaehyuk said ready to beat me and I playfully roll my eyes at him.

"Okay so, I got stalked for a while..."

"WHAT?"

They shout in unison and this time its me who hush them to keep quiet.

"When? How? Oh my gosh..."

"Relax Sohee..."

"Call the Police"

"Nah! He's cute"

We all stop eating by the time I spat my last word surprising even me.

"What?"
"What?"

We ask each other as we all blink multiple times.

"I mean...he's not bad. My stalker I mean"

"How can you say that? Did you forgot that there's a serial killer in the town? Oh my god! What if he's the one?"

"I dont think so Jaehyuk. I met him last night and he...he took care of my wound"

I say quietly and look at my knee which was replaced with a new bandaid since I had to shower.

"Wait, he didn't attack you?", Sohee ask again just to be sure and I nod my head.

"But still be careful. We never know anything", Dani said and we all nod our head, including me who agree to her word.

"I will"

I said but I was smiling on the inside. I wanted to be careful too but the other half me just wanted to see him again.

No no Yoo Junghee! Fucking snap out of it

☂︎☂︎☂︎

I shouldn't be happy but here I am, smiling on the inside at the far away silhoutte following me for another night.

Instead of fear, I was filled with relieve.

Why am I even feeling this way? He's probably dangerous.

I couldn't stop giving myself a warning but I couldn't seems to be following them either.

Right before walking inside my house, I look towards him again. There his shoes peek out from the block again.

'At least hide yourself well'

I mumble chuckling to myself.
