I pulled the black, long sleeved shirt over my head. The shoulders were cut out, and the collar came around like a choker, connected to the part of the shirt behind me that was covered by my hair.

I decided to leave my hair straight, while slipping on a black skirt that hugged my slim legs. A sigh escaped my lips, as I pulled my hair out of the small shirt collar.

I picked up my shoes, and slipped them on. They made me a little taller, gazing into the hallway I saw Areum sleeping beside her food bowl.

A soft giggle left my lips before I walked away. "Good night~"

As I walked into the bar, scents of alcohol, and singing filled my ears. Gazing over I saw Sangwoo, wearing a suit along with his hair slicked back.

A smile was formed onto his lips, as I approached the table. "Welcome Jiyeon." He spoke to me, as I took a seat beside him.

"Thanks." I responded before looking down to my lap.

"This is Dongkyu." He spoke, while pointing to the male seated across from me. "Dongkyu, This is Jiyeon."

"Oh, so this is the pretty girl you were talking about?" Dongkyu spoke to Sangwoo with a soft smile. "Nice to meet you Jiyeon."

Sangwoo told him I was pretty?

A smile spread on my lips when I heard what the male across from me said. "Nice to meet you Dongkyu." I nodded, as Sangwoo introduced me to the male who took a seat beside me.

I was too busy gazing over at who was seated on the other side of Sangwoo.

"And Jiyeon, you know Jieun right?" I snapped out of my thoughts quickly when he said that.

"Yeah. Hello Jieun." She seemed reluctant to speak to me, and I could've cared less. I was being mature.

"Oh. Hello Jiyeon." She finally spoke, adding in a small wave.

It took a lot of force for me to stop myself from rolling my eyes.

After small amounts of chatter between the guys, Jieun finally spoke. "So Jiyeon, how did you meet Oppa?"

Tch.

"I knew him as a child.. we were really close." I spoke lowly, feeling a small pang in my chest; I tried to mask how upset I was.

"Were? As in before." She spoke sarcastically.

"Why does it matter?.." I mumbled lowly. "We're still close."

"Ohhhh~ You must know a lot about him." She scooted closer as though she were marking him as her property.

"I do." I spoke while gazing around the bar to keep my attention off of her.

"Why don't you sing for us Jiyeon?" Sangwoo suggested. I have no choice now...

With a nod, and a slightly exasperated sigh I stood up walking over to the karaoke machine. I pressed on the song I planned on singing. Killing me softly.

My hands were trembling. I was never nervous singing in front of others, and I really hadn't cared about what Jieun had to say.

But why was I so hesitant?

I grasped the mic in one of my hands, bringing it close to my lips as I began to sing. "Strumming my pain with his fingers.. Singing my life with his words."

I closed my eyes as I sang softly behind the instrumental. "Killing me softly with his song.. Killing me softly... with his song.."

I ignored the anxious feelings my body had felt. My fingers tightened the grip I had on the mic, and I began to think about me singing alone in my room.

"Telling my whole life.. with his words.. Killing me softly.. with his song." I continued until the song ended, sitting the mic down I rushed over to my seat.

"I never knew you could sing so well." Jieun gasped as though she never heard me sing before.

"Yeah.. well." I spoke nervously, though deep down I wanted to flick her off.

"Oppa, I wanna leave." I cupped my hands by his ear, and whispered softly.

A small smile formed on his lips, it seemed as though he were planning something which made me feel uneasy.

Though, I could only assume based on his facial expressions. "The busses will stop running soon, therefore-"

"-you shouldn't be out alone this late at night, there's some dangerous people out there. I wouldn't want you to get harmed." He spoke lowly, and I knew I couldn't refuse.

"Alright." I nodded.

"Me and Jiyeon are going to leave." He said to his friends, and I began to stand up.

Why did he seem so ecstatic to give me a ride home?

Chapter 6 is finally done!

I'm aware that the video was an MMV and credit to the owner of it, and I'm aware that only part of the video had the song included. But I really liked that version of the song, and I didn't feel like searching for it.

I hope you enjoyed this because I will use horror elements soon. The next chapter will be updated faster, and will involve some interesting things. . .
