The photoshoot was another success. Unlike this morning, it went very quick. The group pictures were the most fun to make. The boys were very active and smiley which made the pictures turn out even better. 

"Hana invited me for some drinks" Yujun said as she walked up to Jiah. "You want to come too?"

"No, I'm good"

"Are you going home alone then?"

Jiah shook her head. "No. Mrs Kang offered to drop me off" 

She felt bad for lying, but since Yujun never allowed her to drive the public transportation on her own, she had to. On the other hand, she wanted to be alone. Just her and her music.

"Since when does that wench like you" Yujun crossed her arms. "You sure?"

Jiah nodded. "Yeah go. Have fun"

Yujun grave her friend a hug and blew her a kiss. "See you at home"

Jiah chuckled and continued to pack her stuff. As she was finishing up, a sudden figure took place besides her. She closed her bag in frustration and looked up.

"What do you want?" 

"I'm so sorry to ask you this but I left my camera in the bathroom. Can you get it?" Gowon asked her with a smile.

"Now in what universe do you see me helping you" she scoffed. "Besides, you got two legs. Why not do it yourself"

"Please. My bus will be here in 1 minute and if I don't go now I'll-"

"Whatever, Gowon. Do it yourself"

Jiah wanted to grab her bag, but someone quickly pulled the bag off of her shoulder. She turned around and saw that it was Mrs Kang.

"You've been working here for a few days and think you can disrespect your seniors like this?" the woman spoke firmly. "Now quick, look in the bathroom"

The girl felt so annoyed. All she wanted is to go home. But without resisting this time, she put on a fake smile and headed towards the toilet stalls behind the building. It was dark and creepy. The scariest part of it all were the bugs flying around.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps emerging from behind her. She froze. Her heart beat fastened with seconds as her legs started to shake. 

She found herself back in the dark street behind her school. Footsteps getting louder and louder and her not suspecting a thing for what was about to happen. An arm that placed itself on top of her glossed lips to prevent her from notifying people that she was in danger. 

"Jiah, you okay?"

She frightened out of her trans. Her head turned to the side where her eyes met the ones of a familiar pair. A relieved sigh left her mouth.

"Did you follow me?" she then asked.

"I just wanted to take a quiet walk before going back home" he replied honestly.

She nodded slowly. Without saying much further, she continued to walk with him following. In quiet, they marched to the toilet building Jiah came for. He waited outside as she took the forgotten camera out of there. As they slowly walked back to the others, she spoke.

"Is something wrong?"

Ricky looked at her. "In what way?"

"You've been kind of quiet since the car ride. Did something happen?"
