*BUZZ

My eyes opened as I looked around my room and saw Pearl sleeping on my desk. *BUZZ I picked up my phone 8:47am. I had a text notification from the cute guy at the club.

┊Jisung┊

Sure. Where?

There's this cafe I know. I'll send you the address

I burst into Aimi's room without even knocking; it's not like she would have heard me she can sleep through anything. She's sprawled on the mattress, snoring softly. I shake her shoulders. "Aimi" I say, no response, "AIMI" I shake harder.

"Huh? WHAT"

"I got a date!" I exclaimed. She breaks out into a grin. "With who???" "That boy I met last night wants to meet up"

Her eyes widen. "What are you gonna wear?" I shrug "I dunno that's why I'm asking you." Aimi hops out of bed and puts on her slippers. "Cmon"

"He said it's a meetup, so maybe I should just casually?" I suggested holding up a beige sweatshirt.

"Yeah, and you can just wear some nice shoes and put on some eyeliner," she says. I head into the bathroom to dress and fix my hair. As I'm brushing my hair up into a ponytail I get a call

Old man 👴🏻

"Hey dad" I answer "Hey sooyun hows everything?" He's cheerful voice asks "Good" I reply

"Your mom and I are in Seoul for business and I was thinking we all could me and get dinner like we use to?" He asked

He's been trying to set up a family outing since I got my own apartment but we've both where usually busy me with school or him with company

"Yeah when?"

"8-ish? I after my meeting" "I can come"

"Ok! Bye Sooyun love you" I can hear the smile in his voice

"Love you to"

I finish up by baby hair and head to the door. "Make sure to tell me everything when you get back." Aimi said from the couch as she scrolled through her phone, "Will do." I close the door behind me.

I get out of the car and look at the small cafe in front of me. Through the glass, I can see Jisung talking to the worker inside. As I opened the door, a small bell chimed. Jisung looks at me and smiles.

We take a seat and talk for a while before we order. I got peppermint hot chocolate, and he got a small cheesecake.

He looked so happy as he munched on the cheesecake with his cheeks full; he kinda looked like a little squirrel.

The waiter came by again and asked if we wanted anything else. Jisung paid for our food and tipped the guy a 20.

The worker smiled and told us to have a nice day, with a surprisingly deep voice.

"This was nice we should do it again sometime." Jisung says as we walk around, "Yeah," I say, starting to get a small but painful headache.

"So, what kinda doctor you wanna be?" He asks, holding the conversation. "Cardiologist," I quickly answer, "How bout you? Are you in college?"

"Yeah, I'm studying music. I wanna be a rapper." He says, catching my attention, "That's cool. I'd like to hear your music." I say

My headache starts to get worse, and I hold my head. "You ok?" He asks, sounding concerned, "I've gotta headache," I say. "I've got some aspirin in my car," he says, taking out his keys. We walk over to the parking lot not a lot of cars were there though.

Jisung unlocks his car and goes over to the drivers side. As he's digging around, someone comes up behind me and grabs me by the arm tightly. I look back and see it was the blonde guy again.

I throw a punch, hitting him directly in the nose, causing his grip to loosen, and kick him in the balls, then turn to run as he falls to the ground.

I can here. Jisung shouting behind me, but I ignore it and head straight for my car, not looking back. I can feel my head throbbing more as I get closer. I notice a black minivan approaching as I'm about to open my car door. I notice some shiny objects sticking out of the now flat tires.

I hear a door opening, and I see a short man with black hair glaring at me. He runs towards me.

I run into the cafe to find the back door. I hear a jingle, "YAH" The angry short man appears. I panic and throw the nearest thing at him. A mixing spoon

His eye widens in shock as I start throwing more utensils at him; he ducks and takes cover as I throw forks now from the drawer behind me.

I quickly open the back door but only find an alley with a broken gate leading to the street. If I went that way, they could easily catch me since I don't have my car.

I look to the large dumpster across from me and waste no time before diving in.

"No sign of her," Minho states over the phone. Seungmin only growls in frustration as we drive down the street. Felix lies in the back with an ice pack placed over his groin and tissues stuffed up his bleeding nose.

"I can't find her location." Jeongin says, looking up from his computer. Seungmin stays silent, but we all can tell he's pissed off.

Jeongin types at his computer again. "Wait. I found her address," he smiles as he sets the GPS.

Without a word, Seungmin jerks the wheel to make a sharp left and hits the gas
