I stumbled behind him a few steps until I stopped and pulled my arm away once again. „No, thank you. I think I'm going to wait until Jacob is ready with his shift.". My heart was pounding like crazy.

No one else seemed to be around. Just a regular parking lot with a lot of streetlights and cigarette vending machines.

„Come on, Hyeona. You don't need to be scared of me.". He walked a few steps closer, which made me back away automatically.

I shook my hands in front of my body dismissively. "Really, I'll be fine! I'm going to go back inside now because I'm feeling very cold.".

But all of a sudden his features changed abruptly, and he took big threatening steps towards me. "You're coming with me now!".

I stumbled back in shock as Conrad tried to grab any part of my body, whether it was clothing or not. But fortunately I reacted quickly and he narrowly missed me.

My back suddenly bumped against something hard, which, however, gave way slightly and a pair of hands gripping around my waist in the next second. At this moment, the cinema door was torn open from the inside and Jacob rushed out in anger.

„What the fuck Conrad. Leave her alone!", he yelled.

„HEESEUNG?", My shrill voice shut the other two boys as I turned my head to face the person who was practically hugging me from behind.

In disbelief, I turned around quickly and backed away a few steps. There's no way he would be actually standing in front of me in this second?

„Heeseung?", repeated Jacob in confusion, which scooted me a closer back to reality. He was indeed standing two steps away, and I wasn't seeing ghosts.

„Who is this guy?", Conrad nodded angrily towards the two of us.

But Jacob's patience had run out. „Get the fuck off! You fucked up, don't you get it?".

I didn't listen to their conversation at all, completely blending out my surroundings. He tilted is head with a slight smile, when I couldn't help but rush towards him. My sudden tight hug almost knocked him over and we struggled to find our balance again.

„Hey.". I heard his voice the first time in months. „Fucking shit, what are you doing here?".

He wasn't able to answer. The happiness is his veins made him reach euphoria.

In the reflection of the glass of the building I could see Condrad turning around and stomping back to his car from which we had come. After a few seconds, we detached, as I realized Jacob was still standing next to us, watching around in space to avoid making the situation more awkward than it already was.

„Oh my god. I'm sorry. Jacob...this is Heeseung.", I introduced the Korean guy. „Heeseung. Jacob.".

„Jacob? Like your ex Jacob?", Heeseung stared at me in shock.

„This is kinda a long story.", I rubbed my arm, which made him frown.

Jacob cleared his throat, making both of us stare at him. „I think I'm getting back to work. There's still a lot of stuff to do.", he smiled at me, while heading back inside.
