Finding Ourselves in Each Other

Chapter 1: Stranger

I saw him from across the street, staring. I couldn't really see what he looked like until he had crossed the street with a dark smirk on his face. He approached me slowly in a terrifying but mysterious manner. As soon as he got to my side of the street I started walking away slowly, acting like I had not seen him at all.

I had been walking for about 30 minutes now and I know that he's still close behind me. I walk a little faster and I see my friend Kim up ahead! I pick upthe pace to a slow jog, and I yelled her name. "Hey! I was just about togo to dinner with Xiu-" She was cut off as the man firmly grabbed my shoulder saying "I was trying to catch up to you after you started leaving at the shop.." His head was faced toward the ground, he sounded out of breath. But when I saw the same smirk on his face I knew he was faking. "Oh.. I'm sorry. Who are you?" My friend had asked him. He slowly looked up and laughed, "Who am I? Ha ha ha! Her Boyfriend, of course. You can call me Sunyoun. I overheard that you and your boyfriend were going to dinner. Can we join?" He looked at me and grabbed my waist and smirked. I was so shocked that I couldn't say anything. "Of course." she said.And at that, he removed his hand from my waist and into my hand. He gripped onto me like it would be the last time he would see me.

When we arrived at the restaurant, hesat across from me. While we were eating I noticed that he couldn't keep his eyes off of me. But something about his rough stare made me calm. As I finished eating I studied his face, It was long and he had these dimples when he smiled,he was very handsome. He lifted his head up from eating and we made eye contact. I had never seen his eyes before. They were soft and full of sadness,but his stare is rough and lacks emotions. 'Could he be a psychopath?' I had thought to myself, but at the thought my body shuttered and I couldn't bare to look at him anymore. I looked down and started playing with the left over food on my plate, and then I heard the start of a chuckle coming from him. But before he could laugh Kim had asked him some questions to start a conversation.And not once did he look over at me, like he forgot I was there.

The dinner had just ended and we wereall outside. Kim came over and hugged me and said our goodbye's and so did Xiu,they did the same to Sunyoun. But for some reason I didn't ask for help, it truly feels like I don't want help. We just stood there for about 10 minutes and then he just started walking away. He was about 15 feet away and he seemed to know that I wasn't walking. The fact that he could just do that and leave,made me so mad. I started following him, for about 5 minutes I was 10 feet away from him, just trailing him. But I couldn't help but get even more upset at the fact that he knew I started following him. I stopped and yelled,"Hey!"He had kept on walking and ignored me like I was never there. I started to walk swiftly towards him until I reached the back of him and grabbed his shoulder, which had made him stop. "Hey! Who the hell do you think you are? Just leaving me up there after that crazy stunt you pulled!" He didn't even look up from the ground. "Hey! I'm talking to you!" I nearly yelled. I was so angry,"Listen, Punk! What the hell do you think you're doing?" I lifted my hand up to punch him in his chest, but he had stopped my hand and looked up at me and our eyes met. "You're so cute when you're angry, it makes me want to hate you." He had started laughing. But as he stopped his face became emotionless as our eyes met once again. My heart nearly stopped at the glance of him. These feelings I have for him are so confusing. One minute its fear and hatred, the next it's confusion and curiosity, then I have this weird feeling of trust and compassion.

Who is he and what is he doing to me?
