You & Jungkook despise each other. It wasn't fair that someone with a cruel personality had everything-enviable grades, ideal physique and wealth.
But what if one day, you learn that Jungkook took his own life? Would you be willing to make a d...
This situation isn't horrendous. I'll just be bored when I'm walking home with no music or apps to occupy me. And I won't be able to call my parents if anything terrible happens..but nothing could happen in a wealthy neighborhood in South Korea. I should be completely safe. Right?
I continued my path home. The street was poorly lit, but I couldn't use my phone for light. There was no one around and cars barely passed by. Half-way into my journey, I heard footsteps behind me. Instinctively, I turned around and saw no one. I stopped walking and listened for sounds behind me. There was nothing.
After a few seconds, I resumed my path and heard the footsteps continue again. Whipping my head around, I once again saw no one. There was a street light on too and no fellow beings were present. I guess the footsteps were apart of my imagination? Bending down to tie my shoe laces, I noticed a shadow of a figure on the ground.

I looked up from the shadow, but there was no person above it. What the heck??
I began running, with the footsteps also chasing me. Turning around again, all I could see was the shadow behind me on the ground, but no human figure. Running for several blocks, I finally tripped over a huge crack in the pavement. I felt more pain than I did hours ago. It felt like I scraped my knee and reopened a wound from before.
Hopefully, I could sit down for several minutes to catch my breath. But suddenly I heard loud laughter. The cackling was resonant and absolutely maniacal. I had no idea who it was, but it belonged to a woman's.
Was this shadow-person giggling at the pain of my fall?
I screamed, got up, and limped while I was running away from the creature. Finally, I reached the street that my apartment was located in. Yes.
The cackling behind me increased with the speed of my running. Fed up, I threw a rock behind me.
"Ow!!!" screamed the shadow. The shadow's voice was high pitched. It sounded like a girl that was around my age.
I could defend myself against shadows with rocks? What? The footsteps scurried away from me but I wouldn't dare turn around to look. All I knew was the shadow was gone. I didn't stop jogging until I reached my apartment.
I arrived to the building and gimped to my residence. I opened the door to the apartment flat. My little brother, Hyuk, was sprawled on the couch watching TV. I pounced and held him in my embrace.
"Eww, don't touch me you fatty!" Hyuk, screamed, squirming in my grasp.
"Are mom and dad home?" I asked, completely exasperated.
"I came home from the school bus at 6 PM and nobody was in our apartment.. You usually are, but lately you've been out doing who knows whatever. So no, I've been home alone for an hour." Hyuk pouted.
