For shits and giggles. Enjoy!

I was just leaving the plastic surgery clinic. I was excited to start a new life with my new face. I've been living in Seoul for a year now and things are going really well. I was just about to call a taxi when I bumped into someone, dropping my bag causing it's contents to spill.

"I'm so sorry!" The stranger and I said at the same time. I smiled politely and looked at him before he walked off. I picked up my things and continued on with my day.

I've been looking for my wallet all day and I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I could've sworn I had it with me earlier. I kept trying to think back to figure out where I could've put it but nothing rung a bell.

It was getting late now. It was almost 2am and I should probably head to sleep right? Wrong. I'm gonna shop on AliExpress for a while.

I stayed up for another hour but I had this eerie feeling tugging on my consciousness. Almost as though I was being watched. I lived alone. I got up to close my curtains and turned the kitchen light off.

I went to my room and closed the door. I was just about to sit on my bed when I heard a knock on my door. I slowly went to the peephole but saw no one. I shook it off and chalked it up to me just being tired so with that, I went to bed.

The next morning I woke up feeling refreshed. I made myself some tea and ate ramen for breakfast.

I was watching tv when I heard I knock on my door. Again.
This time I checked the peephole and there was a man. He looked familiar.

I opened the door and he looked at me and smiled. His hair was blonde, his skin was pale. A cute bunny smile. He was very handsome.

"Hi...?" I said questioningly. Then it hit me. The man I bumped into.

"Hey, you dropped this?" He said holding my wallet

I reached out for it and thanked him. My hand brushed his and my attention went straight to how cold his hands were.

"Do you wanna come in for some tea?" I asked being polite.

"Sure" he said smiling wider.

We entered and I invited him to sit on the couch. I went to grab him some tea.

"Hey can I use your bathroom?" He asked

"Yeah sure, down the hall, last door on your left." I replied. I heard a loud gust of wind as he disappeared. I looked around the wall to see he was gone. I finished his tea and put it on the coffee table.

He came out after a few seconds. That was the quickest bathroom break I've ever seen. It was at most 1.5 seconds.

"So how did you find me?" I asked out of curiosity.

"You're almost on your period right? I followed the scent." He said with a straight face.

"Oh ok." I replied "your tea is ready."

"Thank you. Hey um you look nothing like your ID photos."

I choked.

"Do you have anything stronger?" He asked suddenly

"Stronger? Like alcohol?"

"Yes." He replied. I made my way to the alcohol cabinet and opened it. I heard that gust of wind again and suddenly two arms came up beside me, startling me. I almost dropped the bottle. I turned slowly to see the man inches from me.
