STONE COLD - Lee Juyeon

Y/n POV

It's currently 1.00 am. I am laying in my bed under the blanket with Beyonce. I just finished watching a horror film and came to my bed, so it's kind of hard to fall asleep immediately since the jump scares of the film are replaying in my head which is sad. Grandma left my home yesterday morning after giving me a one-hour lecture on safety.

Just when I was about to turn the bedside lamp, I heard knocking on the downstairs window. I ignored it, thinking it was just me hallucinating, but it got only louder. I sat on my bed, feeling a rising tide of fear from head to toe. After a few seconds, the knockings stopped, making me sigh in relief until I heard one of the windows getting broken.

With shaky hands, I quickly took my phone and dialed one of the familiar numbers that were in my contacts.

✆ "What?"

✆ "I- I think someone is outside my house" my voice came out as a whisper, but still enough for the person on the other end to hear. Another sound of one of the windows breaking was heard, making me gasp.

✆ "Y/n?" he said, concerned. "What's happening?"

✆ "There's- Someone is breaking my windows" I stuttered out, keeping Beyonce closer to my side.

✆ "I'm coming. Stay with me on the line and lock your room's door"

He said as I heard a shuffling noise on the other line.

My breath got hitched when I heard a whistling sound downstairs.

✆ "He's inside. I- I'm scared"

✆ "Don't be"

"Pretty girl, I know you're inside there~" the unknown person sang just outside my room's door as I covered my mouth with my left hand, trying my best not to make a sound. Nothing was heard and happened and I looked towards my door.

✆ "Y/n, are you okay?"

He asked as I felt oddly relieved at his voice even though it was kind of croaky since I guess he just woke up- I mean since I woke him up. Just as he questioned, the person outside my door began to break the door.

✆ "I- he's breaking the door. Am I going to d- die?" I whispered out as tears began to roll down my cheeks.

✆ "No, you're not. Stop blabbering nonsense"

After some time of thumping on my door, the intruder successfully managed to break the door which made me freeze on my spot.

"Bingo! Found ya" the person chuckled, twirling a knife. With the help of my illuminating bedside lamp, I could see him. He was like 1.8 tall and was wearing all black and a black mask that covered the bottom half of his face.

"Now let me finish you" he said menacingly. I quickly leaped out of my bed which resulted in my phone getting dropped on my bed, making me curse under my breath as I took the nearest object for self-defense, which happened to be the glass vase on my table.

"Why are you doing this?" I whispered out as he sighed.

"For money of course" he winked at me and began to step forward toward me.

"Don't come near me" surprisingly I didn't stutter as I pointed the glass vase toward him.

He chuckled and dramatically gasped, "Oh my! I'm scared" he said before starting to laugh.
