When Hyejin arrived at home around the evening she heard lots of noises coming from her front door. She pushed down the handle and opened the door. 'I'm home!' She called through the hall.

It got quiet for a second, she took off her shoes and placed her helmet in the closet when she heard her parents.

'Hyejin, could you come here for a second?' Her dad said, just when Hyejin wanted to enter she saw shoes in the closet which were not familiar at all.

'Do we have a visitor?' She opened the door to the living room and looked around the room, they were sitting on the dinner table. It seemed like they just finished, but something was off.

There was someone sitting on her spot with his back turned to her. 'Oh.. hello sir.' She walked to the table. Her parents where smiling and Sung- Min made weird faces, as if he was having an extreme headache.

'Hello Hyejin.' The man said.

When she saw him he turned to her. 'Nolan?!' she felt her heart speeding up and her body heated up the second after. 'He's our new neighbor. Such a coincidence.' Her mother said happily while gathering the empty plates. 'Would you like some dinner dear? We still have some left.'

Hyejin stood there frozen in place. Looking at him, seeing her brother move around to try and get her attention. She shot back to reality when her mother repeated the question. 'Dinner? No thanks, I had some with Elijah earlier.' She stuttered, walking away from the emberrassing situation.

'Are you feeling alright dear?' Her mother stood up from her chair and stopped Hyejin from walking to the kitchen trying to feel her forhead. Hyejin moved away saying. 'I'm god. Good, I mean I'm good.' She misspoke and stuttered feeling very uncomfortable by his presents.

Why would he even come here?

'Homework. Hyejin needs to help me with my homework! Right?' Sung- Min quickly added, rushing to her. 'Ah, right. His literature homework.' Sung- Min shook his head and widden his eyes. He mouthed.. I got no literature.

'Ah no. My literature work and his other homework. Right.. pff , must be tired.' Everyone looked at her confused, Nolan on the other hand let out a small chuckle. 'Have a good night everyone.' She rushed to the stairs being even more ashamed than she already was.

'I'll see you tomorrow Hyejin.' Nolan said raising his voice. 'Sorry about her, students right?' Her dad said awkwardly rubbing his neck.

Late at night, around 1am Hyejin got a message from Miles. ''Come to the party, it's fire!'' He texted. ''Send me the address.'' She got dressed and snuck out the house. She started her motorcycle and put on google maps. 13 minute drive. Not too bad.

Once she arrived at the party she searched for Miles. It seemed like a big house party. 'Hey girl.' She heard near the kitchen. She scanned the place, no sign of Miles. She took out her phone and called his number. Voicemail.

'Hey girl?' She heard again. She looked to the left corner of the kitchen. A man was looking at her while drinking a beer. He was old and when she looked around the room she understood why, everyone in the house seemed to be least thirty or forty years old.

'Can I help you?' She asked him while texting Miles. 'You definitely can by turning around for me.' He said. She looked up from her phone. The man was walking towards her, struggling to walk in a straight line.

'I don't think my boyfriend will like that sir.' She lied trying to get him away from her, while putting her phone away and moving away from him.

The man looked disappointed and followed her around the kitchen counter. 'Wanna play a game then?' He asked her stopping halfway and taking a sip from his beer.
