A beating heart

15. Protect

What to do? Areum, keep calm, you got this.

- Jinwoo-yah, Soeun-ah. I bring their attention to me with a serious tone. Stay calm and listen to me.

They both look at me waiting for an explanation.

- Don't look back, there is a car following us.

-What? How come? why? who? asks Jinwoo, really confused

-Unnie...what to do? Are they bad people? Soeun is scared, I can feel it by her voice. But they must know, just in case.

-Noona, is it related to what you told us about the company?

-I'm not sure about that, but I've seen that car. And I've also seen our uncle's wife talking to the car's driver. They have been following me for a month now...

-What? Noona! Why didn't you tell me? What if they hurt you? You know that woman would do anything for money! Says Jinwoo, all worried.

-Pabo! (idiot) That is not for you to worry about! I'll protect you and Soeun.

-Noona, you're the idiot one! Then who will protect YOU?

-I'll protect unnie from those men in black!

Soeun's words caught my attention, I quickly look at her and turn back facing the road.

-What men in black Soeun? I frown

No way...

- There have been some men in black in front of my school theses days, they did not look very...how to say...friendly?

What? If they are from the company or the witch, then...

No, I can't let this happen. They can always try and touch a single hair of my siblings. They'll find themselves in an ICU real quick if not in hell.

-Did they try to talk to you?

-One of them did try, but couldn't say anything because Jinwoo came to fetch me.

I look at Jinwoo, showing him that I am not happy with I'm hearing.

-Why didn't you tell me about it? It is very dangerous Jinwoo, you can't hide these things from me!

-Noona... I didn't want to worry you. You already worry so much about so many things!

-I know, I know, but it is okay if I'm worried, at least I could think about it and do something about it.

He looks down, I know he didn't mean to hide anything from me. I know what were his intentions. Seriously, we are way too sweet, in this family.

-It's okay Jinwoo, just next time tell me so that we talk about. All together.

-Then, unnie too! Promise us you won't hide anything from us! Exclaims Soeun with her sparkly eyes.

Seriously...These siblings of mine, way too precious.

- I, Song Areum, promise to not hide anything from the Song siblings! I declare with a noble tone.Now, we have to deal with this car that is following us.

- Yes, sir! They both answer at the same time.

-Jinwoo, call Mirae. Once we tell her about the situation, she will come with her car and we will wait for the right moment for you and Soeun to transfer in her car. Got it?

-Yes, but what about you? Noona, I can't just run away by myself!

-Jinwoo, you have to go! If not for yourself, then for Soeun! You have to stay with her and protect her! I will find a solution after that, if needed I'll call the police so don't worry. If it can reassure you, I'll stay on the phone with you.

With that, he couldn't add anything. He knows that he has to be with Soeun.

-I'll call Mirae.

-That's my boy, thank you Jinwoo.

''Hello?'' Mirae answers her phone. What a relief.

'' Mirae, you're on speaker right now, I'm driving.''

''What is it? It must be urgent.'' She knows that I never speak on the phone while I'm driving.

''Bingo. It's the same car, it is following us.''

''us?''

''Jinwoo and Soeun are with me. Usually, the car would stop following me after a few minutes but today, they're really stubborn''

''Sh*t! What to do then?''

''Jinwoo will text you where we are, I'll keep driving and I want you to come and take them with you, please.''

'' I got you girl, no worries! But what about you?''

''We'll talk about that once Jinwoo and Soeun are safe.''

''Ok, I'll be quick!''

''Drive safely!''

''Yes, sir! You too!''

She hangs up. We stay silent for a while. I drive around, waiting for Miraie. The car is sill following us. It's a van, I wonder how many people are in there.

-Noona...starts Jinwoo. I know it is unexpected from me, but can you call Jimin? I think you'll be safer if he is with you.

I literally chocked at his statement. Now I can't stop coughing.

-Unnie! Are you okay? Asks Soeun with a worried expression on her face.

-I'm alright. Wah! Jinwoo, indeed I was not expecting that. I know you are worried, but no I won't call Jimin. I don't want to have him involved in such complicated things. Knowing him, he wouldn't want to stay still if I told him about this situation. I don't want to put anyone in danger.

-but...

-Don't worry Jinwoo, I'll solve my own problems! Who am I?

- Song AREUM! Shouts Soeun making us laugh at her cuteness.

How the hell can we laugh in this situation?

-biiiiiip-

I turn to my left and I see Miraie in her car. She is driving right beside us. We look in front of us and spot two Big white trucks. We both drive faster and position our cars in front of the truck, right before the red light.

Perfect. This way they can't see us, but we have to be quick. I rush Jinwoo and Soeun out of the car.

-Get in guys! Quick! Shouts Miraie.

- Thank you, girl! I shout to Miraie and part ways as soon as the light turns green with the van still following me.

At least it is dark outside, so they probably didn't see what happened. Good, now that my siblings are safe...

Shall we play?

I speed up with a flawless smirk on my face.
