chapter eleven

Jennie rang the bell not just twice but thrice. The neighbours were watching tv so loudly that she heard it from the verandah.

"Hello uncle." Jennie smiled at the gardener who was listening to news actually in the radio.

When Taehyung wasn't coming out sooner than she thought, she started getting worried.

Just then she heard the radio speak- "it is reported that another murder seem to have happened at --in mansion where a 22 year old boy was found dead."

Hearing that Jennie almost got an heart attack. "Taehyung is almost 23!" She kept pressing the bell until she heard footsteps inside.

"Omg there's no way..what if it is the killer?"

Just then Taehyung opened the door with nothing on his upper body at all suprising her.

"What the heck! I thought you were dead!"

"Why?" Taehyung said letting her in and closed the door.

"I just heard in the radio that a boy was dead..."

"Are you dumb on purpose? The police would never let you in if I were dead." Taehyung said almost as if it was joke.

"Makes sense but I don't know why I got so worried."

"It's the stress now everyone's worried about getting killed."

"What about you? Are you stressed too?"

Taehyung remembered the last night. He shooked his head. "Not at all."

"That's my bad boy." Jennie grinned. "I'm hungry. Feed me something."

"And I'm not your waiter. Help yourself in the kitchen."

"You are rude as before."

"Bad boy behaviour."

"Where's Mr President? I mean your brother."

"Why are you asking about him when I'm right here?" Taehyung said in a flirty tone.

"Shut up." Jennie felt cringe. "Mom wants to meet him."

"What type of chore does she have for him instead of me?"

"Shut up. You ain't capable of what he's capable."

"Whatever. He must be at his office somewhere."

"Thanks. I'm off."

"Where you going?"

"I'm busy. Chat later!"

"Did you just came to ask that?"

"Dude, you literally never pick your phone because it is on silence!"

After Jennie left, Taehyung stared at the door after she left it opened. He went to close it but just then he felt like he was being watched. He came to the front, looking for the pair of eyes but haste, he failed.

"Just who the hell it is!" Taehyung tightening his grip.

"Another date?" Yeri asked when she woke up.

"It's an assignment. And this time, I am doing by myself."

"Don't go to that forest."

"I am not and I was kidding about the assignment."

"Then where are you going?"

"I got several jobs to pay my student loans. Remember?"

"Yeah. Best of luck." Yeri went back to sleep as Jisoo got ready to get out.

As soon as she stepped down, there was a light wind blowing to her face. She calm her hair down and walked towards the bus stop. As she walked, she felt like being followed. As soon as she turned around, there was nobody around. Jisoo who was confused continued to walk till she reached the bus stop. Jisoo sat down at the front seat. The feeling was too unavoidable. She still felt like being followed and watched. When Jisoo turned back, she noticed the people sitting at the back only to mind their own business.

"Weird." Jisoo thought. She put on her ipods and decided to concentrate on the music. While listening, she almost felt asleep. When she wake up, she realised she got one stop ahead. She quickly got off the bus at the next stop. Since the location where she worked as a part timer wasn't far away, she thought she could made it.

As Jisoo got down the bus, she realised she wasn't feeling the eyes anymore. Jisoo was more than relieved and decided to walk to her workplace instead of taking a cab she decided earlier in case if she ends up meeting a predator.

But as she walked she once again started getting the same feelings of getting watched. Jisoo started walking faster until she bumped into a random person.

"Watch out young lady!"

Jisoo was about to apologise but the voice was way too familiar to not notice.
