Autophobia

《21》

Eunkyung sat at her gaming chair, her thoughts running a million miles per hour as she continued to cry. She peered down at her PC at 12:30 a.m. staring back at her as she continued to stare at the time. A frustrated huff left her as she stood up abruptly, grabbing a bag she had sitting in her closet before filling it with clothes and necessities. Once she made sure she had everything she grabbed a few pairs of shoes making sure to squeeze them into the bag too. Next thing she knew she had her purse in her hand, bag in the other as she sneaked out of the dream dorm.

She quietly turned around to see Jaemin asleep on the couch, guilt prominent on all her features as she knew he was there in hopes she'd leave her room for once. With her head low and shoulders slumped she left the apartment, making sure to close the door quietly behind her. She looked up at the sky, the sight of a million stars reflected in her eyes as she admired the beauty of the stars that were hidden by the sun and the city's lights.

She got to the bottom of the apartment building before calling herself a taxi, she started to scroll through her phone, booking a hotel room while waiting for her taxi to arrive. Once it did arrive, she climbed in giving the driver the name of the hotel she would be staying at before going back to staring out the window. She watched as the bustling city zoomed past her, the sight of happy teenagers and Uni students filling her line of vision as they danced and sang, some giggling while walking past at their drunken actions.

The taxi slowly came to a stop in front of the hotel she was staying at as she climbed out thanking the driver. She walked inside the building, a lovely marble interior sending her in awe. She walked up to the reception and a polite smile appeared on the receptionist's face. "Good evening, Miss, how may I help you?" Eunkyung smiled politely at the girl before resting her arm on the desk. "Uhhh yes, I booked a room about half an hour ago. My name is Na Eunkyung." The lady nodded her head lightly before she started to type away at her computer. "Oh yes, here it is. Well here you go Miss Na, here's your key. You're in room 127, please enjoy your stay! If you need anything feel free to use the phone on your bedside table to call reception."

Eunkyung nodded lightly before grabbing the key from the lady, she turned around after picking up her bag and made her way up to her room. She scanned the card against the lock as she heard the door unlock as she pushed on it lightly. She walked into the room and straight over to the window. The sight of a lit-up Gangnam mirrored her eyes as she began to place her bag down. She opened the bag grabbing out a short red dress before putting it on.

The red dress ended at about mid-thigh and had off-the-shoulder puffy red sleeves. The dress molded to the shape of her body, adorning all of her features as she applied light makeup. She let her hair lay loose on her back as she walked over to the door. She grabbed her red heels, slipping into them as she made sure her handbag had her hotel room card and that she had her purse. Once she was sure she had everything she was out on a new adventure.
