The Guardian

Chapter 22

Hajin is going to take a bite when her phone is ringing now. "Hello...", she picks up the phone without checking the caller ID.

"Why dont you listen to me???"

Hajin freezes. That voices.

"I am sorry...I shouldn't yell at you...you must be startled..."

"Wha-what do you want?", Hajin's voice is shaking.

"I want you...for me...why dont your bodyguard leave you alone?? Should I get rid of him for you?"

"Noo!!! Please...dont hurt him...", she pleads.

"Then you know what you should do right? My Hajin...", he says sweetly. "You know what I did to his mother was just a warning right?"

"Yes...", Hajin feels so helpless.

"Good girl...", he hangs up the phone.

Hajin puts down her phone on the table. Her hand was trembling so hard. If she wasn't sitting, she probably falls to the ground right now. She took her med bottle. She doesn't count how many pills she took and swallow them without thinking.  Breathe Hajin. Breathe. She told herself. 

=================

Yeong tried to call Hajin a few times. But she didnt pick up her phone. It's been almost an hour, but she hasn't come back from the cafeteria.

"Sorry...I am a bit late...", Taeul enters the room. Only to find her brother looking worried. "What happened?"

"Mom is okay, she's just sleeping...", Yeong explains. "I need to go...", he sprints out of the room. Leaving her sister dumbfounded.

"What is wrong with him...", Taeul grunts.

=========

Yeong is on his way to Hajin's home. He can't find her in the cafeteria. And she didnt pick up the phone. No matter how many times he called her. He asked Hakyung but apparently, she wasn't with her too. Hakyung said that she'll head home right away and call him if she finds Hajin.

Yeong arrived at Hajin's home in record time.

"She wasn't home...", Hakyung says right after she opened the door.

"Shit!", Yeong tries to calm himself. "Does she have any friends she used to hang out with?"

"I can't even think a single name...", Hakyung messed up her own hair. Frustrated. "That's her!", Hakyung shouts when she saw Hajin comes out from a car that just pulled up. She waves her hand when the car drives away.

Yeong cant see the driver's face clearly. But he's sure it was a man. He watches Hajin walks towards them. She looks okay. Yeong is trying to hold all the emotion that's going through his head right now.

"Why are you two standing here?", Hajin asks casually. Oblivious to the fact that these two have been looking for her like crazy.

"Who was that?", Hakyung asked the question that cant voice.

"It's Seojun oppa..."

Yeong doesn't know who the hell is that Seojun oppa. But he hates him already.

"It's her previous co-star...", Hakyung said to Yeong when she saw his anger and confused expression. "Let's get you inside...", she drags her sister inside. While Yeong follows them behind. Hakyung can feel the tension between her sister and Yeong. She sighs. "I'll give you two some time alone..."

Ten minutes after Hakyung left, Yeong hasn't said anything. Hajin gets up. "If there's nothing to talk...I'll go to bed..."

"You think there's nothing we should talk??", Yeong stares at Hajin in disbelief.
