Stuck

Chapter 6

After Taeyong went in his office, I waited for a bit before getting an email from Taeyong with the things I needed to do.

As soon as I opened the email I saw a ton of different links for different documents, with a message at the bottom of the email, "Please have these done by the end of the week."

Any normal person would be overwhelmed, but even though it was a lot of work, at lease I didn't have other work to do on top of this. I sighed before opening the first link and got to work.

Before I knew it, I heard a knock on the door to my office, "It's open!" I said loud enough for them to hear, I looked up once I heard the door open, I saw Doyoung standing there, "Lunch time." He said pointing at his watch, I looked through the window that showed Taeyongs office, I saw him still working.

As if Doyoung noticed my concern, "He texted me before hand saying he had some important work to do before eating and will just delay his own lunch a bit, don't worry, it's normal for him to do that." He said as I nodded and grabbed my stuff and walked out the door.

We went down the elevator to the lobby where we met Taeil, Haechan, Jungwoo, and Jaehyun waiting for us. "Took yall long enough, I'm hungry!" Haechan complained, earning a slap on the back from Taeil, "You're always hungry!" Taeil said Jungwoo and Jaehyun laughed at the scene that just played out in front of them.

We went to a restaurant not far from our work space, I'd never heard of it but apparently they were regulars. We sat down and ordered, while we were waiting for our food we talked about things trying to get to know each other a bit more, how Doyoung and I met, stuff like that. While we were all laughing together I felt the same feeling I did the other night before Jisung picked me up from work, like I was being watched. I tried to ignore it and focus on the conversations happening.

It was almost working, but not fully. These conversations were definitely entertaining, like the argument about if a tea urn was the same thing as a gallon (fun fact that argument actually happened at work today, our tea urns at work fit 5 gallons and someone called it a gallon as in a singular gallon)

Once we got our food, it got almost silent except for the sound of the silverware hitting our plates, I still couldn't shake off that feeling completely until we got back inside the office we all rode the elevator together then, Jungwoo and Jaehyun got off one floor below mine and the rest of us got off on the top floor, we went our separate ways, but Doyoung coming with me because he needed to talk to Taeyong about something.

I just decided to go back to work for now and get as much done now, I don't want to slack off on my first day. About 15 minutes later Doyoung came back out looking a bit stressed but calm at the same time, I waved at him before he waved back and walked out of my office.

I went back to work and for the rest of the day stayed on task, I only occasionally checked my phone seeing messages from Jennie and Hanse asking how I like the new job.

I once again lost track of time only to hear a slight knock on my desk, I looked up to see Taeyong, "Oh, do you need something, I was caught up in my work I didn't see you." I said looking up at him.

"No. Office hours are over, you can leave now." He said with no emotion, "Oh, I lost track of time." I said only to look up and see him already leaving the room.

"What a colorful personality." I said quietly once the door closed. Once I gathered my stuff, I walked to the elevator and went outside to the front I decided to just walk home today, it felt like a good day to walk.

Most of the walk was fine, it was peaceful, all I could hear was wind, cars in the distance and occasional bugs making noise. I was only about 5 minutes from home when I started getting that same feeling of being watched.

I still tried to ignore it, but the closer I got home the more intense it felt, I turned around to look for anything or anyone, I didnt see anything, the feeling was still there. I started walking faster so I could get home sooner, the atmosphere around me now felt tense and eerie.

The only thing to be heard was my footsteps and my breathing, until I heard what sounded like a can get kicked, that's when I started running.

My heart was pumping so hard I could feel it in my head, I glanced behind me without stopping this time I saw a figure, I felt my breathing get heavier and I tried running faster, I could see my door now, I was so close to it, just a bit farther.

I could feel nothing but fear and adrenaline, all I could think about was getting home safe now that I was sure someone was following me, I ran up the four or five stares that led to my door, I fumbled with the keys to try and unlock my door, I could hear the foot steps getting closer and closer.

They were getting louder and louder, just when it felt like the person was right behind me, I pushed the door open and closed it as soon as possible, I locked the door from the inside again and ran around the house to lock every window and door, I noticed Jisung wasn't home yet either.

Should I tell him about this?

A/N: Oooo intense moment what do you think is gonna happen? I don't know why I even type these out, its not like anyone reads this part.
