Locked \\ Kang Daniel

((Present))

I hear the front door open, probably him coming back from school.

"Hey babe, I brought back food!" He calls me from the kitchen, like always.

I climb down from 'our' bed and walk towards the kitchen while he is feeding his cat again.

"What's for dinner?" I ask as I sat down.

"Tteobokki and Kimbap." He says.

He takes a seat in front of me. He opens the lid and pushed the food towards me.

"What? Don't tell me you already ate...again." I sigh.

"Sorry." He awkwardly laughs.

"Next time, let's eat together." I ask of him.

"Oh right! Wanna go on a date?" He suggests.

I widen my eyes. Thank god I'm not chewing on my food or else I would've choked. "Really!!!??? To where??? Busan? Gangnam?" I ask excitedly.

"Eyy! You are over-reacting. Let's just have a movie date in the living room." He replies.

Ugh, I was hoping alot more than just sitting in the living room like a potato. Well, you can't blame a girl who hasn't come out from her damn apartment for a year and do stuff a normal girl does or whatever. I finish up my food as Daniel got the popcorn ready.

I take some blankets from our room and went to the living room. He randomly picks out a movie and we start to watch it. As time passes, the door bell rang. I take a peek at Daniel and he's already in a deep sleep. I check the security camera and there are four guys. Are those guys his friends?

I shake Daniel up and tell him about the strangers in front of our door. He looks confused at first. "Stay here, I'll go check who they are." He sighs, dragging his feet as he walks.

I wait for him like he told me to. After awhile, he lays his head on my lap and continues to sleep. "Um, hey. Who were those guys?" I ask. "Your friends?"

"Um, no. Just some people you shouldn't be introduced to and bump into." He mumbles. I hear him mumble things out but I let him say whatever he wants.

"I see. You should sleep inside." I tell him and he obeys.

I switch off all the lights, but I stop when I see a black envelope by the doorstep.

Kang Daniel,

You hid the girl well :)) Let's see what're you going to do next. Move? Oh well, go on. We have ALOT of eyes around nowadays that are against you and the girl. Too late to say 'don't drag them into this!' Poor boy, your parents wants the girl too :))

Yours truly,
Boss.

Against us? Who can they be? And Boss? Why does all this seem so familiar?
