TWISTED PERSONA || Hwang Hyunjin

Confrontation

Yeona's POV:

[The next morning...]

Today is a day off, luckily.

I woke up a bit late than usual and did my morning routine. After doing the bed and all, I decided to go out and see what Hyunjin is up to, and maybe...

...try to lighten up the awkwardness between us...

I opened the door very slowly and took a cautious look around.

No sign of him. But I can hear some noise from the front door area..

I tiptoed there as I saw Hyunjin standing on top of a chair, with a tool box below him.

"Um, g-good morning." I started.

He turned his head in my direction and smiled slightly, "Good morning."

"What are you doing?"

"I'm fixing the spotlight here. It should light up automatically when someone enters but it hasn't been working for a few days now."

"Ahh..."

Is it strange that he fixes it himself? Or is it just me?

"Speaking of which, would you mind getting me a new light bulb from my room? It's in the second drawer beside the wardrobe." He asked and I nodded, heading towards his room to fetch the light bulb.

Hyunjin's POV:

As soon as Yeona disappeared through my bedroom door I heard the sound of the front door's passcode being entered in, indicating that someone is coming.

The colour drained from my face when I saw who it is through the small whole in the door...

GRANDFATHER??!

He can't see that Yeona is living here with me! What do I do?!!

Back to Yeona's POV:

There they are. A few new light bulbs still in their packaging as well as a few other electrical supplies in the drawer Hyunjin mentioned.

As I was reaching to get one, Hyunjin suddenly flew past the bedroom door, opened one of the closets, climbed inside, pulled me in with him and shut it quickly behind us.

"W-What the-"

"Shhhh!!" He raised his index finger to his lips as he practically stopped breathing in order to not make any sound.

The closet was cramped so I was literally stuck to Hyunjin. Our bodies were tightly pressed against each other and I was blushing and his heart was thumping...
He was holding me by my shoulders while trying to look through the small slits in the closet's door.

A minute later, we heard the bedroom door open and as I looked through the slits too, I made out our school President.

Wait what?! The school's president?! HYUNJIN'S GRANDFATHER?! What's HE doing here?! If he finds us, we're both dead...

"Where did that boy go off to?" We heard him mumble and I accidentally whimpered from nervousness...

Hyunjin gulped as his grandfather snapped his head towards our direction suspiciously.

'Please don't come this way please don't come this way please don't come this way please please please don't open the closet just go we're not here no one's here...'
I kept repeating on those thoughts in my head nervously as Hyunjin's grip on my shoulders tightened even more when his grandfather started taking slow steps towards the closet we're in.
