The Fake Date x Goo Kim

7

After everything that just happened, you went back to your room, not speaking to anyone after everything was said and done. The only thing you did was check the time on your phone to see how long you had been, 11:37am. It had been almost 2 hours that you were stuck there. 2 hours that you had to listen to your father, but thinking back it must have been longer for Goo and Gun.

You sat in your room for another hour or so to wrap your head around everything, before it all felt suffocating. You wanted to get out, you needed to get out and so you did just that.

You left the house as quietly as you could, not wanting to alarm your father or have Gun trail behind you. You just wanted to be alone and so that's what you were going to do.

You noted the time on your phone again, 1:03pm and then you told yourself that you would be back before 4pm so as to not alarm anyone. Or at least so you thought.

As time went on and you were just aimlessly walking about to clear your head, while also continuously looking down at your phone to check the time over and over again, you heard a noise.

You didn't think much of it because you knew better than to poke your nose into other peoples business. Hell, think about what your father did for a living. Basically controlling Goo and Gun, having them take down powerful fighters, while your father hid in the shadows and took down some of his own business associates. You didn't want to get involved in that, at least not anytime soon if you could help it.

You walked a slight bit faster until the noise was no longer there. You were relieved, then you just walked aimlessly again.

After hearing the noise and getting a bit freaked out, you lost track of time. It had been 3:13pm when you last looked and much like you said to yourself, you had to be back by 4pm so as to not raise concern.

By the time you remembered that fact, you had probably walked around another 3 miles or so. Rather than worry by this point, you broke your rule and just continued to walk, until you were in Seoul.

It had taken about 5 hours to walk to Seoul, even though it should have only taken about an hour, but you didn't mind. The walk cleared your head and you could just text your father and say you were in Seoul if he asked.

By this point you realized that it was 6:37pm when you had gotten to Seoul. So what better time than to go eat, and potentially go look for some things to buy?.

You went and got some Samgyeopsal (Korean BBQ) and decided that after this you would go window shopping just so you could stay out of the house a little longer. Obviously not wanting to get scolded for running out of the house. But also because of the lecture that would follow the scolding about how 'reckless' you had been for leaving in the first place with nobody (Gun) to protect you.

Either way you ate while also swallowing down some guilt as well as anger. Even though the walk was a good way for you to clear your head, you also realized how forthcoming your father was and how overprotective he was. Sure he had his reasons, but you just realized how smothering that started to feel today.

After the meal you did exactly what you had in mind, window shopping. You started to walk around again feeling happy that you had a meal and also had time to think and forget certain things.

Another look at your phone as you were walking about revealed the time to be 7:36pm. It would be getting dark in about 30 minutes and so with this in mind, you decided to head for the subway so that you could hopefully be back before dark. Even though you would have an earful from your father, you figured that with a talk, he would understand your reasons for wanting to leave for a little while.

Before you could reach the subway though, it started to rain. You tried to run but almost slipped and with no umbrella you were getting soaked. You decided to go buy one but to no avail, all of them at the nearest shop had been sold out within minutes of the rain starting.

So you decided to wait, at least until it calmed down a little, but it didn't. The rain just continued to pour down and get heavier. Your clothes by this point had become weapons against you. The drenched pieces of fabric had become so wet in the few minutes that it had taken you to run to the shop to find an umbrella, that now they were clinging to your skin. Making you almost freeze with every gust of wind or even slight breeze that came your way.

At this point you knew you didn't have a choice but to run to the subway if you wanted to get home quickly. So you ran, attempting not to slip while running, which you almost failed a few times, but you still made it to the subway in a matter of a few minutes.

To your dismay though, as soon as you looked at the announcements board displaying the trains, times and where they were going to, each of them read delayed. Over and over you read that word, worrying now that you would need to call your father and have him or someone come and get you.

Even though you knew you would be in trouble for having left without a word or also having left without having a so-called "bodyguard" by your side, you figured there was no other way of getting home tonight.

Until you remembered something. Goo lived in an apartment just outside the center of Seoul. You could make it there in about 10 minutes if you wanted to and it would save the lecture. You could say to your father that you were just staying at a friend's house and that had been where you were the entire day.

You didn't know why you hadn't thought about that idea before now. But then again until last night, which was now about a day ago, technically 2 days ago if you counted separate days on a callander, you didn't really have a conversation with Goo, at least not a civilized one.

With this in mind though, you thought to yourself about how it would be fine, that Goo would let you in, at least for the night, right?. Either way you didn't really have a choice. Because as soon as you picked up your phone and pressed the call button on the contact that was named 'Father', you needed to stay.
