White Night | IRENE AND SEUNGHO

4 - For a week

Hyunji's POV

Oh gosh I remembered my phone is inside my bag. Taejoon can't even call me now? He's the worst. Speaking of the devil, here he is calling me. " Hyunji? Where are you? I'll pick you up." I really need him now but he should apologize to me first. "Hey. Can you hear me? Where are you?" I actually don't know what to say. This time I won't reconcile with him if he won't admit he's wrong.

"Aren't you forgetting to say something? "

"Hyunji ? Don't be childish. Tell me where are you?!"  Now he's raising his voice on me. Seriously what do I expect from him. He can't even ask how am I. Because of him I almost died.

"Hyunji? I'm sorry. I'm in the wrong. Please. Tell me where are you. " I can't actually believe he just said that. He apologized and that's a miracle.

"Does this mean you'll fetch me up?  " Why am I even raising my hopes up.

"No. I can't but-,"

"No  buts, Good bye." What do I expect from him.

"Hyunji  you know. I'm with my dad right now, he won't let-"  I couldn't stand listening to his excuses anymore. Does he take me for a fool. His dad went to a business trip with his mom last night. He thinks I don't know about it.

" Okay. I have to g-" before I could finish what I need to say, someone snatched my phone. So my misery haven't end yet? Gosh.

I don't know why but I'm chasing the dumb guy. I need my phone back. I don't know where to go. I need Taejoon to bring me home.

"Hey! Give it back!" The people are just watching. What's wrong with them. Can't they see that guy stole my phone?! Who knows if all of them are one of that snatcher too.

"Hey! You're only wasting your energy." Someone from behind held me back.

"Let  go. " I glared but he won't let me go.

"Do  you know why no one attempted to help you? No one stands a chance against them."

"I said let go." He just can't understand a word.

"Hey ! What are you doing?!" He lift me up on his shoulder. "Hey ! You crazy man. Let me go." I tried to punch him on his back but it has no effect on him.

"It's also your fault. You shouldn't show off your phone in a place like this. " What the hell is he talking about? Is he blaming me. I bet he's with the snatcher.

"Where are you taking me?! And I am not showing off! I was looking for a damn stronger signal. You hear me?! " He finally let me go as he points at the telephone next to a small store.

"Here use this instead. Don't be whiney." Who is he to order me around. Who does he think he is.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Hey! Sooyeon! Where are you? Can you fetch me up? " I can't help but to cry I was so scared about last night.

"Hyunji? Hey! Are you using a payphone? You didn't come back home? Hey. What's going on? Are you okay?!" She has no idea what I went through. "Sooyeon.... ."

"Hyunie? Are you okay?"

"I'm okay." She gulped trying not to cry.

"Then, what's wrong? And I can't go where you are right now. You know I visited mom after your birthday right? I made a promise with her. But if it's really urgent I can- " Oh right, I just remembered. Her mom needs her more than me.

"Hey! I was just kidding. Everything is fine. Have fun with your mom. You got pranked again you fool. HAHAHA! "  I need to take it back. I can't ruin their moment. I wish I could be like that with my mom someday.
