Chapter 35

Warning: Very long chapter.

<< at night >>

The day was horrible. Like, a day which you don't wish to be exist, but actually that exists and remain in your memory for a very long time. First of all, seeing Jimin with his girlfriend hurted me though I shouldn't be upset about it. But I'm being an emotional freak lately. Secondly, Tae came to me and I yelled at him so bad. Thirdly, I had to go to the birthday party even after having a mental breakdown, put on a smile and act happy around all the people.

Disgusting!

It was late, almost half past ten. I was walking home. I could get myself a taxi if I had waited outside the resturaunt for a little bit more time. Walking alone is something that I enjoy. And especially when I feel sad or exhausted, it can keep away my attention from the shits for a while and I feel better. So, I decided to walk home.

But I was walking along the alleys, the dark, long alleys, without taking the main road. I didn't notice that at first cause in the day-time, I usually take alleys. Therefore, my feet took me there unconciously.

Jimin always warned me not to walk alone in alleys at night. He would scold me and argue for hours, if he hears that I walked alone in alleys at about half past ten. But no, maybe he doesn't care that anymore. It won't surprise him. I sighed. I noticed for the first time, I wanted to argue with him so bad. I miss it.

The alley was pretty much dark even after having few street lights but they were not so bright. The ground under my feet was wet, that was the reason of the weak reflection of the street lights. The mild smell of the wet soil, which can be got after the rain, was still present in the air. I don't like rain, but I enjoy this smell.

Moreover, there was not a single soul in the alley except me. That was a bit creepy actually. But I tried not to feel scared.

In this lonely night, I was feeling kinda cold too. I was wearing a short red frock. Well, not completely red, a deeper shade of red it was. The sleeve was short too. I should've worn a jacket over it.

I started walking busily so that I could reach home quickly. I didn't want to catch a cold at that time of the year. I mean, it won't be something pleasing. And I'd be the one to suffer. My mind lingered in all these good and bad thoughts until I noticed something that made me want to scream.

I knew that I was the only person walking along the alley. But I heard some other footsteps and unfortunately they didn't belong to me. I suddenly stopped walking in the middle of the alley. I heard the other footsteps stopped too, but they stopped after I had stopped. What does this mean? Someone's following me.

I wanted to look behind. But I didn't. Cause the person hid himself somewhere already and I won't see anyone. Also, he shouldn't know that I had already noticed him.

My heart fell into my stomach. I started to sweat. I bit my lower lips nervously. I started feeling tensed. I began to walk again. And he started walking too. A storm was going on in my head. What should I do now?

I started regretting why I decided to walk home rather than taking a taxi. Moreover, I took the alleys and didn't listen to Jimin's warning.

Suddenly I felt that the footsteps got closer a bit. Damn it! Whoever is following me definitely doesn't have a good plan in his mind. My sixth sense screamed and told me that.

I need to think something quickly.

My brain wasn't working properly but at least I realized that I needed someone's help. Cause I won't make it alone. Even I started feeling like I had forgot the roads and everything looked new and unfamiliar. I opened my clutch and took out my phone. I tried to keep my activities calm and cool so that he doesn't suspect me, however, I was having a panic inside. I opened the contacts quickly and found Jimin's number. I looked at my screen for a while. I didn't call him for months, though it felt like ages. Do I really need to do it? Sorry, I had no other choices then. I need you. And I tapped the 'call' button.
