/ Run Away /- Jeongin

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 13

I look fixedly at the message Raeji unnie sends me in bafflement.

"We're talking you to innies. Talk to him"

...

Nonono

No

This isn't happening.

"Today?" I ask even though I know the obvious. I just hoped my accusation was wrong.

"Yup, I've checked your schedule with Chae and Ji so NO EXCUSES" is what I receive.

"You have 3 hrs max to get ready, I've asked Jae to help you" Unnie sends another text. My brother nods aggressively while reading her text. I give him daggers and the boy just shyly smiles.

"Eunjae, take care of your sister today. Mum and I are going to visit Mr. and Mrs. Lee." Dad says, still unable to pull away from the tv screen.

Wow, it really feels like everyone knows about this except for me.

I noticed a smile across mum's face. It looks very suspicious.

"Give me back my breakfast," I demand. The boy shakes his head, pushing it further away from me.

"Not until you say yes."

"Oh pleeeeease, I'm hungryyy." I whine, hoping he'll give in.

"Say it."

"Okay fine, I'll do it. Just give me my fooood."

Eunjae grins and passes the food to me. My immediate response was to take a big bite of my sandwich before it disappears again.

"I'll give you 20 minutes to finish this. After that, I'm gonna wait till she finishes her job and I'll take you there."

"Who?" My mind is going in circles again. This is so confusing.

"Just eat already." Eunjae points at the food and takes his leave.

After exactly 20 minutes, the doorbell rings. I go over to open the door and am caught by surprise.

"Jiwoo?"

"Yes, it's me. Now go to your room." The blonde girl says while taking her shoes off.

My room is a mess, with sheets of paper lying on the floor and models scattered across the table. Jiwoo ignores all the clutter and takes her supplies out of her bag.

A hair straightener, hair ties, clips, hairband, makeup...

I came to realization of what she was here for. I open my mouth to say something but am interrupted by Jiwoo.

"Take a shower first. I'm here to get you ready to meet Jeongin. Lix told me he'll keep Jeongin from going out so don't think of escaping." Jiwoo continues to scramble around her bag.

"Unnie, do I have to?"

"Yes, just don't mess up. Okay?" Her warmth in those words calmed me. I let out a sigh and grabbed my towel. I headed towards the bathroom.

My heart is racing at a neck-breaking speed it doesn't seem to stop any minute. My nervousness isn't helping with anything. I reluctantly wash up and wrapped myself in the towel.

Once I got in my room again, a set of clothes were put on top of the bed. A plain white t-shirt with a brown checkered miniskirt and a longish baggy beige cardigan that goes all the way down just covering the skirt. A pair of white ankle boots with black soles were placed next to the mattress.
