Let Me Love You

Run In

You awoke to your best friend shaking you excitedly. "RAE OH MY GOSH WE LAND IN 5 MINUTES I'M CURRENTLY FREAKING OUT THIS IS-" You covered her mouth with your hand, glaring at her. "Chels, there ARE other people on this plane, you can't be yelling. Calm down a little, alright?" You chuckled, removing her hand from her pouting face. "Fine, but as soon as we can get off this plane, I'm getting food. I am absolutely starving." You playfully rolled your eyes, that girl could eat anything and everything. She was smiling so big, and you took the time to admire your best friend. She had long brown hair, which was pulled up into a messy ponytail. Her small figure bounced excitedly in the seat, and her brown eyes were filled with amazement as the plane started to land. Guys fell all over her, you knew it wouldn't be hard for her to find someone. You sighed, looking out the window.

The plane landed, and you both rushed off to baggage. After retrieving your bags, you walked outside the airport and took in the scenery. "Wow." was the only word you could say. Quickly hailing a cab, you told the driver where to go in somewhat fluent Korean. You laughed, and handed him the address to your new apartment. 30 minutes later, you arrived. "I'll go get our key, start unloading everything." Chels nodded and started getting all the bags out.

You walked into a small building that owned the apartment complex. "Hello, how may I help you?" The woman spoke fluent English, and it somewhat surprised you. "Hi! Me and my friend just got here and we need our key. It should be under Chelsea Smith." The lady nodded and searched the name on the computer. "Ah, here it is! Apartment A9, here is your key!" I grabbed the key, thanked her, and walked back out to help Chels. "Got the key!" She smiled and clapped. We tried grabbing all of our stuff at once, and it turned out to be a complete disaster.

"Do you guys need any help? It looks like you're struggling." We both looked over to find 2 very attractive males. One had light pink hair, which reminded me of cotton candy. The other had brown hair that seemed to have faded blonde highlights. "Oh yes, that would be so helpful! My name is Chelsea." She reached her hand out and they each shook it. "I'm Rae, nice to meet you all." I shook both of their hands as they introduced themselves. The pink haired one was Woozi, and the brown haired one was Vernon. "Well, the apartment is A9, so lets head up." We each grabbed something and headed upstairs.

"Thank you guys so much! It was really nice of you to offer help." You smiled at the two boys. "You guys should come back for dinner! You know, since you guys helped and all." She grinned, hoping they would say yes. "That would be awesome! Here's my number, text us when you want us over." Vernon quickly gave her his number, and smiled. They soon left, and Chels was freaking out. "We aren't even unpacked! Rae, you have to go the store and get things for dinner. Its already 6! I'll unpack and get the place looking decent. Hurry!" She practically shoved you out the door. "Chels, woah, hold on. Breathe, let me get my purse and at least let me change." She nodded, suddenly out of breath.

Your suitcases were in your room, and you got out your favorite outfit. Loose, black joggers, a white boyfriend tee and white converse. You loosely braided your hair, and topped it off with a black snapback and some colorful bracelets. You grabbed your purse, and headed out, texting Chelsea what food items you were going to pick up. You walked by a club, loud music pulsing from the inside. Lights were flashing, but you couldn't see the inside. Hmm, tinted windows. You pulled out your phone with a message from Chels. 'They're coming at about 8:00, don't let me down!" Your time read 6:47. Plenty of time. You got into the store and browsed, picking out items for tonight and just for the apartment. Once you were satisfied, you checked out, and proceeded back to your place.

You walked back by the club, and felt yourself drawn to it. You walked closer, listening to the foreign music coming from inside. You shook your head, reminding yourself you needed to get home. As you turned around, you ran into someone, almost falling. "Hey, watch where-" but he stopped talking. He just stared at you, and you stared back.

He had messy bleach blonde hair, which he tried to hide under a black snapback. He was wearing a white cutoff and black skinny jeans. Some tattoos were showing, and you thought he was very attractive. "I-I'm so-sorry." You stuttered. He smirked, he knew you were flustered. "Whats a girl like you doing a place like this?" he asked, his hands gesturing to the club. "I-I was just running to the store.." you said quietly. He took a step towards you, and you took a step back. "Do I scare you?" He mused, getting closer. You kept walking backwards, only to hit a wall. "I won't hurt you." He whispered. He put one hand on your face, lightly touching you. Your breathing was shallow, what on Earth was he doing? You didn't even know him. "I need to go." You said. You lightly pushed him off of you, and walked away.

"Wait!" He yelled. He grabbed your wrist. "You never told me your name." He looked at you expectantly. "You don't need it. I know how guys like you are. Don't bother trying to find out my name." You took your wrist back, and walked away. "My name is Jiyong! Don't worry, I'll find you." You shuddered, hoping he was just joking. You arrived at your apartment a few minutes later, and Woozi and Vernon were very early. Or so you thought. "Rae! Where have you been! I've been worried sick!" Chels ran up to you, scolding you. You hugged her, and apologized. "I'm so sorry, I got caught up at uh, the store. Long line." You lied straight through your teeth, but they seemed to buy it. For now. "We ordered Chinese take out, don't worry about cooking." Woozi said, smiling. He was definitely cute. You smiled back.

"That was so good!" Chels said, patting her stomach and laying her head back onto the couch. It was a fun night, we all laughed and ate food, getting to know each other. It was nice knowing we had made some friends, especially on our first day being here. "It's getting pretty late, we need to go." Vernon said, a sad look on his face. "Don't worry! We can all hangout again soon!" You replied. Woozi smiled at you, putting his hand on yours. "That would be awesome." You blushed, and lightly smiled back. After they left, you and Chels sat around, talking. "So, long line, huh?" she said, smirking. Your face got bright red.

You couldn't hold it in, you spilled everything. She sat there with her mouth wide open. "That's seriously weird, maybe he was into you though. You're into the bad boys, right?" she winked at you and laughed. "Shut up Chels!" You groaned. "But hey... Vernon is TOTALLY into you." She smiled, knowing you were right. After talking a bit more about anything and everything, you yawned. "I'm gonna head to bed, I'm exhausted." She nodded, agreeing. Saying goodnight, you both went into your rooms. You laid in bed, but sleep wouldn't come. You kept thinking of that guy at the club. What was his name? Jiyong? Yes, Jiyong. You smiled to yourself. Maybe he was into you, that's why he was so persistent. But you shoved the thought away. He wasn't your type, and you definitely weren't his.

You rolled over to face the wall, and suddenly, your eyes got very droopy. Jet lag must've been catching up with you, you haven't had time to rest today. As you were about to fall asleep, a sudden banging sound on your front door made your eyes fly wide open. Chels ran into your room, a worried look on her face. You were both silent for a few minutes, hoping the banging would go away. It didn't. "Let me get it." You said, hurrying to the door.

You opened it slowly, and once you saw who it was, you gasped, slamming the door shut. You turned to Chels, and she had a confused look on her face. "Well that was rude, why did you just slam the door in that persons face? Who was it?" You were shaking. Your eyes held fear and you put your head down. You felt like you couldn't breathe, you thought you were going to pass out. You looked up at Chels slowly, eyes filled with tears, and very quietly, you whispered "It's him. It's Jiyong."
