MINJEONG'S POV

It was around 1pm, when Minjeong sat on the couch, watching Snowdrop, when her friend Aeri sent her a text, and she quickly answered, not like she was doing anything anyways.

aeri!

hey jeong! It's a bit late to ask, but wanna go shopping?

Minjeong read the last text, before putting her phone down and running upstairs to her room to get dressed. She found a grey-ish hoodie and matching sweatpants, quickly putting them on as she picked out some white converse and brushed her hair a bit so it atleast stayed flat. She thought she looked very cute, so she took a mirror selfie, not posting it.  She quickly grabbed a black bag, running downstairs and putting her keys and things in her bag, quickly running out the door, seeing Jimin (Karina) and Aeri in one of their cars. She didn't know Jimin was coming, but shrugged and walked up to the car, getting in the passenger seat, now turning to say hi to Jimin, seeing Ning in the back.

"Hey Ning! Hey Ji!" 

Minjeong says happily, her tone a bit flirtier when she says Jimin's name, but she didn't mind either, as Aeri began to drive, she rolled up her window, they listened to music, drove (obviously), random car games, and alas.

 They arrived, 

going to multiple stores, spending money like water, until, Minjeong and Aeri walked into H&M, and Minjeong felt something behind  them, and she turned, and saw this huge black figure, like some sort of darker shadow. 

"Shit!" She yelled. 

"What the hell is that!" Minjeong yells, pointing at the figure that disappeared when Aeri turned around. "What?" Aeri asks. "There was nothing there, Madam Dramatic." She scolds Minjeong. "B-But Aeri.. didn't you see it! It was fucking huge!" And to that, Aeri just shrugged, and the two paid and walked out, leaving Minjeong to still think about the figure. It was the same the drive back, still thinking about the figure. 

  When she had just gotten back home from the shopping spree with her group, she kicked off her sneakers, running upstairs and still had thoughts racing in her mind from the thing that happened. And anyone she would tell could only think she's crazy, so she ran over to her desk, quickly sitting and taking out a pencil and notebook, and began to write.

'Dear notebook. Today I went shopping with Aeri, and saw a strangle, tall black figure following us. It was rather odd. And so I told her and she didn't see anything, and she says that I'm thinking too hard, that things are acting up.'

She wrote quickly, dropping her pencil, leaning back in her seat to re-read it,

"Damn..I do sound crazy.."
