PURSUE {Park Jihoon & Kang Daniel}

15

"Don't be scared"
He wispered in my ear as we entered the haunted house.

You don't really become less scared only because someone tells you not to be...
But having Jihoon by my side helped me feel a little safer.

We walked further and further inside and it became darker and darker.
I heard weird noises and felt cold breezes from around us.
I didn't even dare to look were we walked because I was too scared to see jigsaw or something else scary.

And sure did we see something.
Several something.

Bugs, scary dolls and of course there had to zombies everywhere crawling trying to grab my feet. I haaaate zombies!

Every time something touched me I gasped for air and burried my face into his shoulder.

I had never been in haunted house before but I definetly didn't think I'd be this scared.
I mean wth..

I wanted to cry seriously.

When we could see the exit I walked as fast as I could because there was no way I was spending more time in there.

Just for a moment I let go of Jihoons arm and took a few steps towards the light. I thought I was free until someone suddenly grabbed me and pulled me to the side.
I saw the zombies face, freaked out and waved my hands around everywhere.
I looked stupid just saying.

While doing that I hit something and immediatly stopped my motions as I heard Jihoon complaining.
"That hurt"
He said and stroke his cheek with his hand.

I scanned my surroundings and the creepy creature was gone.

"Did I slap you?"
I grabbed his hand and led him out of there. Then I removed his hand from his cheek and looked at how red it was.
"I'm so sorry"

"No it's okay"
He smiled but then looked at me with a hint of guilt.
"I shouldn't have made you go in there."

I smiled back at him and he locked his eyes in mine and smirked.
"Will you forgive me if I treat you to something next time?"

I nodded. I wanted to meet him again, as I said before he made me think of other things.

"But you know I still owe you one."
I said and he gave me a confused look.
"I owed you two and now I owe you one."

He stroke his fingeres through his hair while thinking what to ask for.

"Then give me your number"
He told me and pointed at the phone in my pocket.

Dorm p.o.v

Jihoon entered the dorm and immediatly caught a glimps of Daniel walking up the stairs with Seongwoo.

He called out his name and Daniel noticed him and came down again while Seongwoo continued towards the practice room.

"Hey what's up"
Daniel approached him with a smile.
"Where have you been bro?"

Jihoon didn't loosen his straight face that he had had since he entered through the doors.
"I don't want to pretend like nothing so I won't."

Daniel gave him a confused look.
"What do you mean?"

Jihoon felt guilty, he knew how much Daniel cared for her but he ignored his question and kept going.
"Anna and I met up today and we're supposed to meet again."

Daniels smile faded and his voice became harsher.
"Why di-"
Jihoon didn't let him finish his sentence.

Jihoon knew all about why Daniel tried to seperate himself from Anna and he knew how he felt about her but he just couldn't help but take this chance. He had taken a liking to her.

"I just wanted you to know that,"
He almost feared Daniels reaction but stood straight with confidence.
"I'm not going to back down."

It became silent.
And it remained silent for what felt like minuites before Daniel took a few steps closer and grabbed jihoon by the collar.
His eyes were pitch black.
"I don't know what's going on but I won't hand Anna over that easily."

"But it's okay isn't it? Yesterday you said you didn't know anyone named Anna anymore."
Jihoon pushed his hands away and walked to his room leaving Daniel staring down at the ground with a somewhat shocked expression.

Seongwoo was waiting patienly but Daniel never came so he went down to check. He noticed him standing there all by himself and walked up to him.
"Hey what's wrong?"

Daniel sighed heavily.
"I'm stupid"

"What do you mean?"
Seongwoo became worried because of how regretful Daniel seemed to be.

They were good friends so Daniel didn't hesitate to tell him what happened.

"Okey yeah you're stupid."

Seongwoo said after understanding the situation.

Daniel gave him a look saying he's not helping.

Seongwoo patted him on the back.
"Why aren't you fighting for it?"

"I don't want to ruin anything."
He scratched his head with both hands and looked around while not really sure where to look.

Seongwoo grabbed Daniels shoulder.
"Aren't you already?"

Daniel burried his head in his hands as if he realized that just now.

"Let's go practice, you'll think of something else."
He pushed Daniel forward to make him start walking.
"I need other things to think of too. I mean I got problems of my own"
