TWENTY-FIVE

"Cool then, as I have told you everything you need to know, I'll take my leave." he said after he was done telling Y/n about all the nearby stores where she could get whatever she wanted, about her neighbours, and also suggested that there is a college nearby where she can get herself enrolled. Y/n was quite perplexed with all of these but nonetheless trusted him blindly.

"Uh, I wanted to know something more as well." Y/n said while contemplating whether to ask him the question or not.

"What is it? Make it fast; I have to leave. I can't stay here for long." he said.

"Why were you so tensed in the car while coming here? Like, the way you dragged me out of the police station and then asked the cab driver to drive fast and take us out of that area as soon as possible; I wanted to know why." She spoke while looking at him with expectations that he will answer her question and luckily he did.

"Because he was there around that area and I didn't want him to find us."

"Who is that he?" she questioned while furrowing her eyebrows.

"Namjoon. Kim Namjoon."

'Bond. James Bond.' Y/n thought and giggled.

"What is so funny about it?" he asked Y/n with total confusion; he did not understand why she was suddenly giggling like a mischievous kid.

"Nothing! Who is he though?" Y/n questioned while tilting her head, knitting her eyebrows together, and pouting while trying to guess who this Namjoon guy could be.

"The guy that was stalking you; your 'dragon eyes'." he said with a smirk and walked out of the house.

'Mmm, Namjoon; I see.' Y/n thought. "That's a nice name, but not a nice person."

Y/n looked down at the locket that was given 'the grumpy guy' to her that he said would protect her from Namjoon. She wrapped her tiny fingers around the emerald locket that was hanging from a gold chain and thought about how a locket can protect her from him. 'Is it some kind of black magic?' she thought. 

Y/n did not have a job; her parents earned a lot of money and therefore she was rich; she did have a lot of money but she cannot just rely on it for long. She knew that she had to find a job as soon as possible and also she has to get enrolled in the college that he told her about; basically ordered her.

She did not need to set a single thing in the house; he already had it perfectly ready for her to move in. He had strictly said Y/n to always keep her doors and windows closed and to not leave the house after sunset. Although she was not having his orders, she knew what could be the consequences if she did not follow his orders. Her flat had to two keys; one she kept with herself and the other he did. He also said her to not open the door for anyone if they visit post sunset and to lock the doors before bed without fail. It was as if she was being caged by him but she had no other choice as well. He has done a lot for her safety and she knew if it was not for him, she would not have been standing here safe in her new house. As she was totally lost in her thoughts, she realized she did not bring all of her things from her previous home; they were still there and she needed to get them as early as possible. But before everything, what was necessary is that she searched for a job and got enrolled in a college.

-----

She sat on her bed with a bowl of noodles that she made for dinner while typing on her laptop and searching for part-time jobs that would at least pay a fair amount. She had already found a nice college that was providing the course that she wanted to pursue and was happy that she got an email reply from the college within five hours; asking her to come to the college for an interview after three days. As she was looking through the job sites for part-time jobs, she suddenly heard a loud sound burst through the entire neighbourhood and it almost made her heart stop for a moment. After three seconds she realized it was her neighbours that were blasting music on their speakers at almost nine in the night. 'The grumpy guy' did tell her about two boys living in the flat next to her, but she obviously did not expect them to be this indecent to be blasting music so late at night. Y/n being an introvert and a person who rarely initiated conversations, did not even have the plans of violently banging on their door before barging into their house and screaming at their face for being so undisciplined.

After a search for some two hours, while bearing with her neighbour's shitty music, she applied for three jobs that were paying enough to a college-going student. The timings for all the three jobs that she applied for were odd as the work hours were ending pretty late but she did not even have any other option though.

She went to bed around twelve in the night after making sure that all the doors and windows of the house were closed. She also pulled all the curtains so that she does not have to see outside; she had some pretty bad experiences with windows, does she not? Life was hitting different; she was almost nineteen and it was her first time living alone, that too at an extremely new place where she does not know a single person. She was pretty anxious at the beginning when she switched off all the lights in the house and went to bed. She did not have that weird feeling of being watched or someone's presence, but it still did scare her a bit; after all, it was all new to her and she would require some time to completely settle. Oh and not to mention how her stupid neighbours still were blasting songs on their speakers at midnight. But it did help Y/n a bit as she did not have to sleep in complete silence; that would have been a bit horrifying. She soon fell asleep and did not have an idea when her neighbours stopped the music. The only thing that happened well that night was that she was able to have a good sleep after long; without any scary event happening in her house.

-----

She woke up to the sounds of birds chirping and the busy streets of the neighbourhood. The place where she lived was surrounded by tall buildings, shops, parks, few game arcades, and public libraries as it was the centre of the town. After opening her eyes and looking at the clock hung on the wall, she realized it was almost twelve in the noon. As she sat up, the first thing that came to her mind was checking the mail if she has received any reply from the jobs that she had applied for and luckily, she did. She did get one reply from a bakery that was hiring a cashier. She was happy to know that they have called her for an interview but her face soon fell when she realized that the interview was starting in about twenty minutes and the total time it would take for her to reach the place after getting ready and leaving the house would be around forty minutes; twenty minutes to get ready and the other twenty to reach the place and it would be quite difficult for her to make it on time.
