Inconceivable

NINETEEN

At that moment, he stopped walking and slowly turned behind.

I fastly bent down to not to get caught looking at him... Covering my mouth with both of my palms, I remained silent.

I was sitting in the floor of the balcony, from where he could hardly see me.

Oh god.. I'm not hallucinating this time, right?.. The reddish glow is coming out from him!.. What is happening?

I don't know why but I felt kinda scared... Did he see me looking at him?!?

Gathering all my courage , I slowly lifted my head up to peek at him..

But he wasn't there now.. Gosh..W-What is he actually?!.. .

I gulped on my saliva and was about to get up but the sudden knocks on my door got me flinched.

The knocks were not harsh at all. It was softly reflecting on my ears..

Gosh.. Should I open it or pretend to be asleep?..

Approaching the door, I placed my palm on the doorknob.

"Open it, Ji-hae.. I know you're in"

My heart skipped a beat as Yeonjun's voice came from the other side of the door.

A small sigh left my mouth and I finally decided to open it..

There he was standing, obviously, his smirk never leaving his company.

Without splitting a word, he came inside and held my hand.

"W-what is wrong? Leave me! "

"I feel too lonely there, let's walk together. "- he said while pulling me out of the room.

" Walk?! With you? N-no, I'm fine! I've just had a walk "- I said while struggling to free myself.

" Oh, really?.. I don't think so, you must be afraid of that 'landowner's daughter's ghost ' right?!? "

I wasn't understanding what actually he is saying. All I can think about is to staying away from him. For some reason, I was feeling insecure with him...

"What are you talking about?! Leave me! "

"You don't remember? That horror story of the bonfire? "

Oh, so he's talking about that useless thing?.. Jeez why would I be afraid of that?.. -_-

"I'm not afraid of that, it's just I don't wanna go now. "- I said.

He slowly let go of my hand and spoke, " Well, I thought you were brave... But seems like I was wrong to think-"

"It's not like I'm afraid, okay? I'm not tryna prove my bravery"

He crossed his arms against his chest and leans closer to my face which was already getting chills.

"Are you sure? "

"W-what? ... J-just go away from here! "

He chuckled and started to take steps to the exit after giving me a dark glare..

Soon, he was out of my room and a sigh in relief emitted from my mouth.

God.. This is not normal... Something must be wrong with him... Why did he glowed reddishly?...

Is he not human?...

Wait what? If he's not human, then what is he?!.. Gosh this is crazy..

I tried to jerk off the thoughts from my mind and started taking heavy breaths.Sinking inside the blanket, I tried to sleep thinking that will help..

°°°

The next day was the last day of the trip.

We had fun at the beach by ourselves and I tried to avoid Yeonjun as much as I could.. Really, he's a freak..

There were ice cream stalls near the beach. So, I along with Nam-ra headed there to satisfy our cravings.

"One Chocolate and one mint flavoured cones, please"- I spoke to the man.

I already knew how much Nam-ra loved mint as she mentioned it many times before.

Everything was fine but the peculiar part is the ice cream man's  glances at me.. It seemed like he wanted to tell me something but couldn't tell.

Those stares were making me really uneasy...

He looked at me as if he was really worried about something. Some unease were mixed with his eyes.

Getting the ice creams, we didn't stay there for a moment.

°°°

The trip was over and nothing actually happened between me and Yeonjun till that night.. Thanks to God..

As I reached home, I threw my body on the bed and comfort consumed me.. Ahh home really feels something different..

I looked at my phone screen to see the time. It was 11:53 pm..

Unwillingly, my eyes travelled to the date's side and I noticed it.

Woah.. How did I forget?.. Only 7 minutes left for my 19th birthday!.. Yes, tomorrow is my birthday..

Every year, I used to spend this day with my parents.. They managed to make time for their daughter no matter how much works they had..

But this year.. Will I be able to spend my day with them?..

I hope they don't forget it at least...

I was really dipped in my thoughts and didn't notice how much time I've spent being in my own world.

°°°

I woke up by the ringing sound of my phone. Aishhh who is it this early?!.. I glanced at the clock which was perfectly hung on the wall, it is 10:30 am..

Wait, 10:30 am?! I slept for that long?!.. I've missed my school.. Shittt....

My phone kept ringing and I picked it up in my hand. It was showing the caller ID to be my mom.

My face lightened up to see it as I picked the call up.

Woah.. She didn't forget my birthday! She's going to wish me.. Aww I love her!

"Hello, mom? "

But instead of hearing my mother's loving voice, I was so shocked to hear an unfamiliar male voice.

"Hello ,I'm senior officer Jong. Hong-bin of Daegyu police station. "

With an unknown terror, my heart skipped a beat.

"W-well, this is my mother's phone.. What happened?.. "- I managed to ask with my shaking voice.

"I'm sorry to inform you that  Mr, Min and Mrs. Min were found dead in their house."

A/N: Well, this chapter was a bit different from the other ones, wasn't it?... I hope you like it.. Please keep supporting me. I love you all  :)
