|| A Foreigner in Danger || <VMIN x OC>

Afraid

7.30pm.

His fists were clenched.

I gulped as I realised he was approaching me.

I shouldn't be this scared but after all those nasty things I blurted out before, anyone would be.

He stopped 10cm in front of me.

He was tall.

Much taller than me and I was pretty tall for a girl.
Again, I could smell his cologne.

What did I know about him?

Nothing.

Yet it feels as though I've known him forever...

Why does his presence give me shivers down my spine? Who is this alien?

He spoke very slowly and deeply,

"You are a spoilt, stupid and inconsiderate little girl. I haven't punched you in your pretty little face yet because unlike you, I care about family ethics, values and respect. Unfortunately people seem to like your existence. So hear me once and once only;

This is MY TURF. DAEGU IS MY TURF. Do not try to disrespect me, or I will easily sort you out. Girls like you.."

He scanned me up and down slowly and smirked.

"Yep we could all fix you up within 5 minutes."

I had never felt so scared and angry in my life.

What the hell did he mean?

Just as I was about to open my mouth again, he put one long finger on his lips ushering me to stay quiet, took one last look at me, laughed and walked off down the passageway into a room.

The door shut behind him and I could only hear the passing cars down below in the busy streets of Daegu, whose street lights had turned on because it was dark now.

I didn't know how to react.

I didn't even know my way around the apartment. I realised I was still in my hanbok and standing on the cold marble floor, I hadn't had a chance to even eat anything.

I was starving.

I quickly tried to take off the hanbok, but my hands were shaking so much.

My whole body was shaking.

Before I knew it I slowly fell to the floor leaning against the wall and burst out crying.

I can't remember the last time I cried like this.

My face and sleeves were dripping with tears and I don't know how long I cried for.

After a while of crying, I gazed emptily onto the floor, remembering the time Mum wouldn't stop crying after we watched Titanic together.

I was hugging her and laughing so much.

After a while, Mum realised how silly she must've looked so we ordered a takeout and ended up watching Korean dramas, which made us both happy seeing the couples get together in the end.

Oh mummy, wae!

Why did I leave you...
