Later that evening, Han-na returned home and immediately sought out Skystar. She found her best friend in the living room, curled up on the couch with a book. The moment Skystar saw Han-na's glowing face, she put the book aside, eyes wide with curiosity.
"Okay, spill everything," Skystar demanded playfully. "How was the date?"
Han-na giggled, her cheeks still pink from the excitement. "It was amazing, Sky. We had a picnic in the park, and it was just so... perfect. We talked, laughed, and then..." She paused, her smile widening as she bit her lip.
Skystar's eyes lit up with curiosity. "And then what?"
Han-na hesitated for a moment, her voice dropping to a whisper. "He kissed me."
Skystar gasped, her hands covering her mouth in amazement. "A second kiss? Han-na, this is huge! He must really like you,"I'm so happy for you, Hun. He sounds like a good guy.
Han-na sighed dreamily, leaning back on the couch. "Yeah, it does. I can't wait to see where this goes."
...
[next day]
After finishing her classes for the day, Han-na glanced at the time. It was 4:00 PM, time to head to the smoothie shop where she worked part-time. The shop wasn't far from college, so she walked there, her mind replaying the kiss she'd shared with Jungkook. The memory made her heart race, and she couldn't help but wonder if he'd show up today.
As Han-na pushed open the door to the smoothie shop, she was greeted by the familiar sight of Jimin, the shop's 22-year-old owner. They had been working together for six months, and over time, they had developed a friendly rapport.
"Hey, Han-na!" Jimin called out as she walked in. "How was college"
"Hey, Jimin. It was alright," Han-na replied, forcing a smile as she tied on her apron. But her mind was elsewhere, lost in thoughts of Jungkook.
As she began preparing some orders, Han-na found herself glancing at the door every few minutes, hoping Jungkook would walk in. The anticipation was building, and with it, the memory of their kiss kept resurfacing. She could almost feel his lips on hers, and her cheeks warmed at the thought.
Jimin noticed her zoning out and couldn't resist teasing her. "Earth to Han-na," he said with a grin, waving a hand in front of her face.
"Huh? Oh, sorry!" Han-na snapped out of her thoughts, embarrassed that she'd been caught daydreaming.
"Let me guess," Jimin said, leaning on the counter. "You're thinking about someone special, huh?"
Han-na's face turned red, and she quickly looked down, focusing on the smoothie she was making. "I have no idea what you're talking about," she mumbled.
Jimin chuckled. "Sure, sure. You've been staring at the door like you're expecting someone. It's written all over your face."
She bit her lip, unable to deny it. "I just... I'm just waiting for a friend."
"Right, a 'friend'," Jimin teased, making air quotes with his fingers. "Well, whoever it is, they must be pretty important to make you zone out like that."
Han-na didn't reply, but the small smile on her face gave her away.Jimin was right, but she wasn't ready to admit it out loud.
...
As the sun began to set around 6:00 PM, Han-na waited anxiously in the smoothie shop, hoping Jungkook would show up
Jimin received a call from his sister, prompting him to leave early. "I've got to go home, Han-na. Can you close up the shop tonight?" he asked.
Han-na nodded, trying to shake off her thoughts. "Yeah, sure. I'll take care of it."
Jimin patted her shoulder lightly. "Don't worry too much. He'll probably show up when you least expect it."
With that, Jimin grabbed his things and headed out, leaving Han-na alone in the shop. She glanced around, the silence feeling heavier than usual.
Han-na's anticipation gradually turned into disappointment as she realized there was still no sign of Jungkook. She bit her lip, her thoughts swirling with frustration. They hadn't even exchanged numbers during their date, and now she couldn't help but mentally blame herself for it.
Why didn't I just ask for his number? she thought, feeling a pang of regret.
...
Han-na didn't realize it was already 10:00 PM until she glanced up at the clock, startled by how late it had gotten. She was supposed to close the smoothie shop at 8:00 PM, but in her hope that Jungkook might still show up, she had completely lost track of time.
Her eyes then fell on her phone, which was sitting on the counter. She picked it up and saw Skystar's name flashing on the screen. Her heart skipped a beat as she noticed multiple missed calls—Skystar had been trying to reach her for a while.
I had my phone on mute this whole time... she realized with a pang of guilt.
Quickly, Han-na answered the call, bringing the phone to her ear. "Sky? I'm so sorry, I didn't see your calls."
"Han-na, where the fvck are you? I've been so fvcking worried!" Skystar's voice was a mix of relief and concern.
"I'm still at the shop," Han-na replied, her voice soft. "I lost track of time... I'm on my way home now."
"Please hurry, okay? I was starting to think something happened to you," Skystar said, her worry evident.
"I will. I'll be home soon." Han-na assured her.
After ending the call, She quickly started closing up the shop, her thoughts still lingering on Jungkook's absence.
Han-na walked along the dimly lit street, her footsteps echoing softly in the quiet night. The street was almost empty, and the shadows cast by the streetlights only heightened her sense of unease. She kept her pace steady, but as she turned onto the street that led to her apartment, a wave of nervousness washed over her. It was too quiet, and she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
Suddenly, she heard the rumble of a car approaching from behind. Her heart rate quickened as the car slowed down and came to a stop directly in front of her, blocking her path. She froze for a moment, her mind racing with thoughts of what to do.
Stay calm, just walk away, she told herself.
She took a cautious step back, deciding to cross to the other side of the street and avoid the car altogether. But as she passed by, the sound of the car door opening sent a jolt of fear through her.
She tried to quicken her pace, but before she could take another step, a strong hand grabbed her wrist, another arm wrapping around her waist, she struggled against the grip, but the person was too strong. Han-na's eyes squeezed shut in terror, and a desperate cry for help escaped her lips as she was shoved into the car, pushed down onto the driver's seat. She felt her arms being pinned above her headagainst the car seat. Everything happened so quickly that she could barely process it, her bodytense with fear, but when she finallyopened her eyes, the sight before her made her gasp.
