Late Light (KTaehyung)

My Park

The wind nipped at my skin as I walked down the deserted dark street. I pulled my hoodie over my head as I increased my speed.

Finally seeing my destination I felt relieved as the tension I had in me instantly melted away.

I walked into the park entrance enjoying the gentle breeze and fresh air.

Don't ask me why but something about coming to the park at night relaxes me. It's like all the worries and reality just float away.

I continued walking as I usually do every night stopping occasionally to enjoy the moment.

I continued walking until I spotted my bench. Releasing a deep breath I sat on the bench as I looked up at the sky. The moon was shining in all its glory creating a mysterious yet magical feeling.

I breathed in as I let the night sounds take over my senses. Hugging myself to stay warm I slowly closed my eyes. I let the night sounds and fresh air lull me into a peaceful state.

I breathed in and opened my eyes. When I did I nearly peed my pants there and then.

A pair of unblinking eyes stared right back at me.

A guy about the same age as me stared at me. His face only inches from mine.

His eyes stayed glued to mine as his hot breath fanned over my face.

"What are you doing in my park?" He said with a deep voice.

My mind seemed to go blank as my mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. I couldn't form any words at all as my body was in a frozen state.

He stared at me for a few seconds more, eyes scanning over my face then suddenly stood back up.

Before I could blink again he was already walking away and soon disappeared completely.

I sat there trying to register the whole situation until a tiny voice in my head said "go".

"Weird boy" I said as I got up.

"Handsome. But weird" I said as I started to walk toward the exit.

As I was walking out I couldn't shake the feeling of if someone was watching me. I looked around but saw no one. As I neared the exit I looked to the side and faintly saw a shadow.

I quickened my pace and as soon as I was out of the park the feeling of being watched disappeared.

"Phew" I said as I wiped imaginary sweat off my forehead.

I continued walking home until I passed a mini food store. I remembered that i needed to pick up some milk and eggs so I went it.

The store was oddly quiet as I walked in with no other customers inside.

I went to the dairy section and picked up some eggs and milk. I also picked up a couple of snacks and two bottles of water.

I carried everything to the cashier who was barely awake.

"Um excuse me" I said as I set my stuff down.

"Oh sorry I guess the night shift is taking a toll on me" he said back sleepily.

I chuckled as he checked my things.

"That will be 24.98" he said as he bagged the stuff.

I pulled out a 30 dollar bill to pay but before I could a hand beat me too it and put a 50 dollar.

"Keep the change" the deep voice said as he walked away.

I watched as the hooded man walked away in surprise. Shocked that he payed for me.

That voice. I thought as I took my bags and walked out. It sounds familiar.

Struggling to carry the heavy bags i walked out of the store as the wind blew my stray curls.

"Hmm weird" I whispered as I walked home under the full moon.

So guys that is the first chapter. I hoped you enjoyed it even it isn't that good. I tried to make it interesting and mysterious lol. Anyway I'm working on another book also which I have like 8 parts written already. But this idea came to me and I just had to publish it. Vote, follow, and like.❤️😀
