countdown | huang renjun

❥ 29

Heejin turned her head towards the voice that was yelling her name. Luckily, her mother had already walked in, meaning she was left alone.

There they were, Sooyun and Mia waving to her down the street as they crashed down the road.

"Run!"

That was all she heard and it conflicted her far too much. Should she take the risk to run or should she stay? She had no idea.

It didn't take long for her to make the decision and sprinted away into the streets of Seoul, under the moonlight. She didn't know her way to Sooyun's place but at least she had the two girls who she caught up with relatively quickly.

"Where the hell is Renjun-"
"Don't ask."
"Please don't tell me you guys had another argument."
"Nah, he's just as busy as hell."
"Then break up."
"No."

Slipping into that café where Mia and Sooyun had met, they grabbed seats at the back. Considering how Sooyun was decently recognizable at this point, it was important that they tried to avoid everybody.

A male was sitting in the usually unoccupied seat, a familiar one at that.

"Renjun?"
"Thought you'd be here."
"How did you know?"
"I don't know..."

Sooyun looked questionably at her soulmate as she slid into the seat and leant her head against his shoulder.

"Hm, really?"
"I'm serious. It's just chance and that natural soulmate connection."
"Oh, alright."

Heejin put her phone down, opening the voice memos app to show a recent recording.

"What?"
"I have the proof."

She pressed play and turned the volume down, sitting back with a satisfied smirk.

"Great. Let's get this to the police," Mia stood up, swiping the phone.

Everybody else looked at her with a confused look, unknowing whether they should just go with Mia's impulsiveness or actually plan-

"Chill Mia, I think only Renjun, Sooyun and I should go," Heejin said as she stayed put in her spot.

"Why?"
"You know...you're not really like..."
"Oh. I'm not involved. Then you guys go. We need to get this over with as soon as possible."
"Why?"
"So Renjun and Sooyun can be a happy couple- I ship."
"They're already together."

Mia shook her head, beginning to push the others out of the booth into the opening and out the door.

"Uh, what should we do-" Renjun asked as they held Heejin's phone, standing in front of the police station. It was quite a frightening building, dark blue stripes painting the top with the police symbol hanging from it.

"Just get in. Simple," Heejin pushed him in, "You're an idol."

"That means I'm confident in singing, dancing and speaking in front of a camera and crowds, not a police office," He clarified with a serious expression on his face.

Sooyun's hand clenched itself around in a hold around Renjun's, "You can do this."

"Wait- why am I the one doing this- Shouldn't you two be doing something?" He swiftly turned around to face the two girls, encouraging him to go in.

"Everybody just- go in," Sooyun sighed as she led the way, snatching Heejin's phone out of Renjun's hand to face the police officer at the front. "I would like to report a case of invasion of private information through means of phishing." Her whole attitude was changed as she started speaking, face morphing into a business-like face with almost no sense of emotion.

"Right. Please fill in this form to supply us with more information."

>>><<<

Relieved, all three of them let out a deep breath once they stepped out of the police station. It had been a long process involving far too many calls and verifications and they were only on the first step. Luckily, they had been told that the police would handle most of the remaining things with only a few steps in which they required Heejin and Sooyun to come in for, as well as Heejin's parents.

"I need to go. I have a schedule and my manager is going to kill me if I don't get back to the dorm on time," Renjun looked down at his phone, waving goodbye to the two girls that were former enemies.

Sooyun reached out for his arm before he got too far, shamelessly pulling him into a tight hug and pecking an unnoticeable kiss on him. His face blushed slightly, feeling that warm soulmate sensation spread through his body, "Bye."

Heejin, being Heejin, already had her phone out filming the cute moment, "Don't worry Renjun, I won't post it online. I'll just..."

"Oh god no-" Sooyun already knew what was happening as she launched herself on Heejin. Unfortunately for her, she already heard the familiar ping of her cellphone and glared at the other girl, "Fuck you."

Renjun had already left the scene with a smirk but he was on his phone, ready to tease his soulmate.
