Save My Love (SinRin)

Chapter 24: Rubber Band (Part 1)

"Eonnie, the neighbor called! She said there is a man going back and forth our door. I'm scared. I didn't tell the others. Should I call 112?"

"No. We're coming. Don't open the door."

"Eonnie, please hurry."

--

"Yewon-ah we're here. I'm going up." Joon called the maknae after parking the van.

"I don't know if the man is still there. Take care. If you don't open the door in 5 mins. I'm calling the police." Umji is not only smart but she has a mature disposition that even in times of stress, she is able to anticipate her next move.

"Make that 10 minutes. The elevator might take a while." She did not have plans of taking the elevator but she knew that she might need more time interrogating the unidentified man. "Bye."

"You two stay here. Wait for my call."

"What's happening??" Sowon was panicking.

"Everything is fine. Just stay here."

"Okay eonnie, take care. Call immediately." Cutting off her leader's forthcoming worried nagging, Yerin replied.

Joon reached the floor where the dorm was after a millisecond. Throughout their journey back from the tea house, she has been receiving updates about the unknown person who has been surveying the girl's apartment. She knew that there was no possibility of harm but she wanted to see for herself.

The foreigner called Yerin after a few minutes of confronting the person who paced the apartment building back and forth. "Hmm you need to come up here quickly. Yes take Sowon-ssi. Yes, it's safe. It's a false alarm." She ended the call and rang the bell of the apartment to assure Yewon of their safety.

"Eonnie?" Yewon opened the door cautiously.

"It's me, but you don't have to come out. I'm just telling you that I'm here. Just stay inside." After hearing the bell, Sinb, Eunha and Yuna ran to the door to check who the maknae was talking to and why she pulled the door open only an inch wide.

"Who's outside?" Seeing how the youngest member was discreetly peeking through the door, Yuna whispered as soon as they reached her.

"Joon-eonnie. But there's a guy we don't know." She whispered back.

"Boyfriend?" Sinb joined the whispering.

"No." The youngest girl did not desire to explain further.

"Suitor?" Sinb was persistent.

"No. The neighbor called and said some guy was at our door many times. I called eonnie."

"So scary..."

Yewon gestured that they keep mum and just listen to the conversation transpiring outside. After a minute, the elevator door opened and Yerin and Sowon's voice can be heard.

"Joon-ah, who is he?"

"He's looking for Yerin."

"Me?"

"He's been waiting here. He said that his boss has been texting you."

"His boss? I'm not receiving any text."

"Yes. The oppa." Joon answered.

After hearing Joon's reply, Eunha quickly looked at her phone and discovered 8 missed calls and 24 unread messages from the same number. "Ooops... I guess that oppa has been trying to reach Yerin-eonnie." Sinb's facial expression was unreadable after glancing at the other girl's phone.
