"Hey MinMin are you okay? So-Hee told me about what happened." Changbin asked from beside Chan. Min-Sun nodded to them both as everyone waited for Han to come outside. "I'm a little shook up, but I appreciate everything everyone did for me yesterday to make sure that I was okay." She answered truthfully. She was thankful for everyone who stayed the previous night, because she thinks that may have been the only reason why she didn't end up having nightmares.
She decided to keep the note a secret from everyone for now. She was just going to let the cops finish their investigation on her house, but now she was thinking that they would need all the evidence they could against whoever was doing this. It just had to be a sick and twisted prank. The only problem was picking out who had executed it.
"Do you think you need to come to class today? We can definelty get you notes for class so you won't be missing anything." Chan had spoke up now trying to give Min-Sun a chance to go home. She just waved his question away trying to show that she was fine. She looked down at her phone hearing Felix explain that he already tried to stop her this morning.
She was checking her recent text messages from Haewon and So-Hee when Han finally joined them outside. Min-Sun looked up from her phone as Han was talking with Changbin and her breathing stuttered. His silver hair shinned in the sunlight, and his eyes were shining behind his round rimmed glasses. She could feel the butterflies in her stomach flutter, and she had to turn away before she could start drooling over him.
He had a girlfriend she reminded herself. Get a grip.
She took another glance at her phone to look at the time and started heading down the stairs trying to get everyone to move along. The guys trailed behind her talking and laughing while her thoughts were consumed with anything else. She missed the talk of homework and the latest comeback for some artist, and even Changbin telling everyone about his date with So-Hee. She instead thought about the wreck her apartment was left in and the mysterious notes she kept finding.
The one that was knifed into her door was enough, but when she found this morning in her suitcase she knew this wasn't some prank. She thought about going after class to the police station to show them the note from this morning to add to the other note that was on her door. It wouldn't hurt to keep the police involved in this rather than dealing with it on her own.
Suddenly Min-Sun felt something brush against her arm and looked to see Han had touched her with his elbow. She saw Han's guilty face which had her heart sinking. She didn't exactly know how to feel with him at the moment. Sure he had not answered his phone, but he was with his girlfriend and Min-Sun was trying to understand. She was trying really hard.
"Hey."
Her chest tightened. God how she wished her mind would quit playing tug of war when it came to talking to him. "Hi." She let out so softly it may as well have gotten lost in the wind.
"I'm really sorry for not answering my phone the other night. You know any other time I would answer but I was with Jia that night and.." He paused. Probably to find his next excuse but Min-Sun was too tired to have it.
"It's alright, I understand. I was just trying to call someone I knew would be on their phone. I figured since you talked to Jia pretty much everyday you would answer." She shrugged lying through her teeth. Han nodded slowly as if he didn't fully believe her, but she didn't care. This version would be what she told people if they asked because it was better than the pathetic thought that she meant more to him than his own girlfriend.
Han fell back and started to talk again with Changbin about who knows what. After a 10 minute walk, the group had arrived on campus and they all went their separate ways to class. Since her first class was with Felix, Min-Sun walked with him into Mr. Kim's class and took their usual seat in the middle of the room. She normally sat in about the fourth seat over as it was the best position for the projector as well as the air conditioning. It was like heaven for Min-Sun and just another seat for Felix, but wherever Min-Sun went Felix followed behind.
After the entire day on campus was over, everyone met and decided to head home to hang out, but Min-Sun didn't want to go home yet. She told them she wanted to go to the library to catch up on some homework, and they all insisted they would come with but she told them to go ahead. She assured them that she would be fine and that she would call someone if she needed anything. She wanted to have the excuse to take the note she found this morning to the police.
She watched them all disappear before grabbing her bag and looking for the note. She swore as she realized the note was no where in her bag and that she must have left it in her suitcase.
Realizing her options were to head home or to actually head to the library to study, she started to head towards the library. In the library she found a room that was empty and walked in placing all her belongings on it. She paired her headphones up to her phone and started playing some music before heading out to find a vending machine. She stopped by the bathroom first before grabbing a coffee drink from the vending machine and finally making it back to her study room.
She sat down with her drink before pulling out her textbook from her bag and setting it in front of her. She turned on her computer seeing she had a new e-mail. She gasped reading the email from the unknown sender.
"Did you like my letters? There are more where that came from."
She felt the familiar chill run up her spine and the wave of nausea that took hold of her stomach. Her chest tightened as she stared at the screen and then her gaze went outside of the study room. There were tons of students left and right, and it would be impossible to try and pin point who even sent the email. They probably weren't even in the building with her at the moment. She turned back to the computer pulling out her phone before taking a picture of the email so at least if it disappeared she had some proof that it existed.
At that moment Min-Sun realized she didn't want to be alone much longer, so she packed her computer and book in her bag before grabbing her drink and heading towards her temporary home. The sun on the way back to the house had started to go down making Min-Sun feel a little uneasy.
She looked left and right as she walked before deciding she should try to call someone to keep her company just in case she was kidnapped. Her fingers paused on the one name she wanted to talk to and instead called someone she figured would respond. The phone rang as she kept looking in both directions.
"Y/N?" The voice sounded tired and Min-Sun felt bad for disturbing him.
"Hyunjun? Was it a bad time to call?" She questioned wondering if she should just hang up. She didn't want to disturb him, she just didn't want to be alone.
"Not really, I'm just tired. It was a rough day at work." Min-Sun could hear his yawn through the phone.
She nodded as If he could see as she still looked around. "Do you mind keeping me company while I walk?" She blurted out trying to fill the air with something other than her constant anxiety.
"Wait you are walking home alone? You do realize that someone just broke into your house yesterday and left you a creepy note and all right? Let me grab my coat, I can come get you." She could hear movement from the other side of the line.
"You don't have to do that for me, I'm pretty sure I'm halfway home now. I thought I would be fine when I stayed behind a little but, but that was on me." She let out a bitter laugh.
She could hear his sigh from her end. "Just keep me on the phone okay? I'll go down to try and meet you. You really shouldn't be walking alone anyways, it's late and dark." Hyunjin started to lecture her and she laughed for the first time that whole day.
"Min?" She head Hyunjin turn serious and she payed more attention to him. "Can you make sure to have at least one of us with you if you decide to do something like this again? Please?"
Min-Sun bit her lip. She knew he was right, but she didn't want to worry them all more than she already had.
"I'll do my best." She answered as truthfully as she could.
