Save My Love (SinRin)

Chapter 25: Nae Salangeul Guhaejwo

"Joon, the notemaker left another one on the van!"

"WHAT??"

"But it's on Sinb's window!"

"WHAT'S WRITTEN ON THE NOTE?"

Surprise! Surprise! You didn't think I'd change my mind, did you? But I've never really cared for the visual. How would the fans feel if we deface the group? How about all of the groups? It will not be long and terror will resurface. I don't think they can hide the truth this time.

"DAMMIT!"

"Joon, Sinb is not in the dorm!"

"WHERE IS SHE?"

"One team is searching as we speak."

"LOCATE HER! I'M COMING IN 5. SECURE THE OTHERS."

"Copy."

"TRACE HER! THERE'S A BUG ON HER PHONE!"

"The location says she's inside the dorm. She might have left the phone!"

"WHAT?! Launch the aerial! Review the CCTV!"

"We already did! The CCTV is blank after the footage that caught her opening the door!"

"FIND HER!"

"Eonnie! She's not here! WHY IS THERE SECURITY OUTSIDE THE DORM?? WHAT'S HAPPENING?! WHERE'S SINB??"

"YERIN-AH, STAY INSIDE. I'M COMING!"

"EONNIE! ANSWER ME! WHERE IS SHE??"

"Yerin-ah, she's missing..."

"BUT SHE WAS JUST HERE!"

"I'M COMING. I'LL FIND HER."

The girl in the passenger seat promptly understood what was going on but she was confused as to why Joon did not seem to be the person she thought she was. With her tone, her words, her authoritative air and her fluency, she sounded as if she had entirely a different persona. But more than her confusion about the true identity of the person she has taken romantic interest on, she was more distressed about the fact that Sinb was missing and in spite only hearing half of the conversation, the way Joon spoke suggested that something grave has happened. Sowon started weeping but she did not inquire further. She reached for Joon's tense shoulder and squeezed it tightly as if she will never hold her again.

"Whatever is happening, please be careful."

"I will. The moment we get to the parking lot, don't look for me." Her eyes were brimming with anger that was battling with fear but she kept a calm tenor as she focused all her attention to the road. "Keep the girls inside the dorm and DO NOT let anyone leave, especially Yerin."

"I will. Please find her." Her words were nearly impossible to understand because of the van's noise and her crying.

"I promise." Whatever it takes, she thought to herself.

The moment they've parked, as Sowon was looking for the button to release her seatbelt, Joon was already out of sight; only the sound of the van's door opening and closing on the driver-side signaled her exit.

"Do not look for her. Keep everyone in the dorm." Damn where's the button. Sowon repeated Joon's reminders to herself. Her cold trembling hands could not seem to find the red button. As soon as she got out, she ran to the elevator wiping her tears, trying to calm herself and maintain a level of composure that she knews she would need to handle the panicking members she will find in the dorm. "Calm down. Everything will be okay. She promised."
