|Seojin?
A bad feeling takes over my body.
I think it won't be a peaceful day.

<Eunbi, I have to talk to you.>|

I tilt my head, unsure of her intentions

I tilt my head, unsure of her intentions. I then turn to look at Yeji, Felix behind me.

I try to decipher their eyes but they look as much confused as me.

I sigh, bringing back my gaze to Seojin.

<Why?> I finally ask, in a slightly cold tone.

I wouldn't be so prudent if her eyes incited nothing but trouble.

Seojin crosses her arms, taking a single step closer to us.

<I'll tell you this afternoon at 4. Come at the Monster Cafe and you shouldn't stand me up.> She says and walks away before I could get a chance to say something.

What the...
What happened? Why do I feel like I did her a wrong that I am not aware of?

I step back to my friends and I look at them bewildered.

They are even more confused than before.

<Do you know anything about it?> I ask them, hopeful that maybe they know the reason for Seojin's threatening invitation to talk.

Yeji shakes her head and Felix and Jeongin also deny.

<I have no idea, Eunbi. But maybe you should go because, from what I understand, she has something in mind.> Jeongin says and the other two agree.

I take a deep breath, suddenly feeling stressed again.
It's not fair, I had just freed myself from the pressure of the exam and now this happens.

<What does she want to talk about?> Felix asks and I shrug, shaking my head.

<I have no idea. I hope I'm getting all worried for nothing.> I say before we walk all outside the school.

Once I get back home, I can't help but wonder what I did wrong. I thought we had solved things between me and Seojin.

I look at the clock and it's already 3:30 pm.
I sigh, throwing my backpack on the bouncy bed.

I follow it by sitting on the mattress and I turn on my phone.

Pressing a series of buttons, my finger stops hovering over the button to call Minho's number.

Should I warn him of this?
Maybe he knows something.
But what if he insists on coming with me then? I know that he is the type to do that.
But I don't think that Seojin would be happy to see that I took Minho with me when she wanted just the two of us to talk.

My hesitant finger finally gives up, turning off the phone. I let my body fall back on the bed with a long sigh, bringing a hand on my forehead.

Why am I so scared? It's Seojin, not a demon.
What can she do to me? How could she possibly harm me?
That's right, I'm getting all worked up for nothing.
