C H A P T E R : 14

Y/N stepped outside the school gates, tightening her grip on the straps of her bag. The street was noisy with students talking, cars honking, and the occasional street vendor calling out to sell snacks.

But beneath the normalcy, something felt… off...

She ignored the uneasy feeling and started walking toward where the car usually waited for her. Except—

The car wasn’t there...

She blinked...

Maybe the driver was running late?

She took out her phone, hesitating before calling home...

One ring...

Two...

Three...

No answer...

Her fingers curled around the device.

That’s weird...

She decided to wait, standing near the school gate. Minutes passed.

The crowd of students thinned...

Soon, only a few people lingered around...

The evening breeze sent chills down her spine...

Her hands clenched.

Where was the car?

Where was her driver?

And more importantly…

Why did she feel like someone was standing right behind her?

She turned around sharply...

Nothing...

Just a few students walking in the opposite direction...

She let out a shaky breath...

She was imagining things. Right?

Another five minutes passed, and still, no car.

Frustration bubbled inside her.

Fine...

She’d walk a little further, maybe find a taxi...

With cautious steps, she moved away from the school’s entrance...

The sun had almost set, casting long shadows across the pavement...

She walked faster...

The distant sound of laughter from a group of students faded as she turned a quieter street..

Then—

A shuffle...

Footsteps...

Behind her...

Her heart jumped...

She slowed down, pretending to check her phone...

The footsteps slowed too...

Her breath hitched...

She wasn’t imagining it...

Someone was following her...

She picked up her pace...

The footsteps matched hers...

Faster...
