21 | Getting Tracked

Insight into the chapter 

"When you get to know that you were getting tracked all this while, what will you do?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

"Where are you?"

Uncle Chang! He would not be texting me at two am if it was not important.

"I am at my apartment," I replied.

"Good. Get dressed then. I will be at 357 in thirty minutes."

357? It's one of the locations he informed me of that we could use for emergency meetings. It's an underground parking lot about two blocks away.

"Yeah. I will be there."

"Good. See you soon."

I looked over my shoulder at you sleeping and subtly brushed a stray strand of hair from your eyes.

He looks so cute. I hate to wake him, but he should know I am heading out.

I shook you gently by the shoulder and you murmured as you woke up. "What happened, Eun Jeong?"

"I am sorry to wake you, but I just got a text from Uncle Chang. He wants to meet me immediately."

You immediately sat up in bed, alert and ready to move. "I will get dressed."

"Hold your horses, Jungkook. I need to meet him alone. We can't risk him spotting you."

"So, I am just supposed to let you go out there alone?! Not at all. What if those shooters track you down?"

"I will keep my head down and stick to shortcuts, I promise. I won't take long. And I will text you immediately when I am done."

You pouted and shook your head- refusing to let me go alone.

I said please with my eyes and you sighed as took my hand to kiss it. "Okay. But take a weapon with you anyway."

"Like I would leave without one."

You smiled and pulled me in for a sweet soft kiss. It left me briefly lightheaded, and I cleared my throat.

"I will have coffee ready for you when you get back," you said, not letting me go.

"That sounds lovely," I said, trying to set myself free from your embrace knowing that I would not be able to leave if I continued to look into those eyes of yours.

You kissed me once more and I reluctantly pulled away from you to leave.

As I descended into the underground parking lot, a chill went up my spine. It was barely empty and dark filled with ominous air.

It feels like a freaking horror movie. But of course, we would be meeting somewhere eerie and shady. Can't let anyone overhear something they shouldn't.

I spotted two silhouettes at the back of the parking lot, cloaked in darkness and talking in hushed tones.

Is that Uncle Chang? But we were supposed to meet alone! They have not noticed me... maybe it is not Uncle Chang, after all this place is not safe. I need to confirm if it is him somehow without alerting them. But how?

I took out my phone and quickly type out a message. "I am almost there."

PING! The sounds went off and one of the figures fished out its phone.

It is Uncle Chang! But who is that another guy he is meeting with? He would have told me about him.

Suspicion gnawed at my gut, and I glanced down at my phone.
