I step out of the shower and wrap my towel around my waist. I figure at the very least he's still at least thirty minutes away from getting here. SeungMin had to drive to MinHo's place. Even if SeungMin told him the minute he got there, it'd still take him at least fifteen to twenty minutes to get here in a car. I'm not worried. I've got plenty of time to get dressed and even grab a snack.

I toss my dirty clothes into the basket and make sure my towel is securely wrapped around me. I grab my phone and slip out of the bathroom scrolling through my playlist to find a new song.

"I didn't expect a show." ChangBin chuckles as he looks up at me from the couch.

"What the hell—how'd you get in? I swear I locked the door." I grip my towel tightly as ChangBin gets to his feet. He smirks as he looks me up and down.

"Breaking and entering isn't that hard. I've been picking locks for as long as I can remember. Dad likes to keep his alcohol behind lock and key." ChangBin circles around me as I stare down at my feet in shock.

"You need to leave. It's one thing if I let you in, but you literally just broke in. I could call the cops and have you arrested." I try to keep my confidence up in hopes of intimidating him into leaving.

"You're naked. The only thing covering your body is a towel. Do you really think you're in a position to try and be intimidating? One little tug and you'd be completely exposed." ChangBin chuckles as he gently tugs at my towel. He has no intentions of actually pulling it off of me, but just the thought of him actually being able to is enough to make my heart race.

"How—how'd you get here so fast?" I swallow hard as I try to make sense of things. He would've had to leave while we were still on our way here. He wouldn't have known where to go though.

"Ah—so that's a fun story. SeungMin doesn't really use social media or anything unless we make him. He has Snapchat on his phone, but doesn't really use it. He also has no idea that he has his location on. The moment I realized he wasn't coming I started after him. I figured it'd be something intriguing, but not like this." ChangBin moves toward me and I step back. I know there isn't much room behind me before I hit the wall. I have no way of getting out of this. He's got me trapped.

"ChangBin—just—back off." I let go of my towel and hope and pray it stays up. I press my hands to his chest to try and keep him as far from me as possible.

"Get dressed and bring clothes for tomorrow. We're going to MinHo's place." ChangBin backs up and makes his way back toward the couch.

"I can't. If I'm not here when my dad gets home he'll be worried." I object without hesitation. I never leave the house at night when my dad is at work. If something happens to me, he'd have to leave work and we can't afford that. The only reason our house is as nice is because of his job at the school. They gave us a place to stay. It's kind of empty, but it's a roof over our heads with warm water and heat.

"Text him and tell him you're going to a friend's house." ChangBin mumbles as he plops down on the couch and pulls his phone out.

"Today was literally my first day at school. There's no way he'll believe I already made a friend. I don't make friends." I shake my head as I move toward the stairs. I'm sure he'll get bored eventually and leave.

"You've got five minutes. I am not afraid to burst into your room and grab you if I need to. You're coming with." ChangBin insists as he glances over at me.

I swallow hard and make my way up the stairs. No matter how hard I try, I don't think I'm getting out of this. I slip into my bedroom and shut the door. I press my back to it and slide down it until I'm sitting on the cold floor. I know I don't have long to get dressed, but I just need a minute to collect my thoughts. He could've done something if he wanted. I don't stand a chance against him. He's far stronger than I am—yet he didn't. Despite his teasing and taunting, he didn't go through with anything. Part of me thinks that he won't drag me along with him. If I don't want to go, I don't see him making me, but I don't want to risk it.
