The Cursed Boy ( An Exo Fanfiction )

chapter 8

" Jongin? " Eun ho called out to him, Jongin broke the eye contact. " I won't know the answer to that Eun ho. go inside now, it's getting dark." Jongin replied. Eun ho wanted to say more but stopped herself. she didn't know why but her heart pained at his answer. was she the only one feeling that way? 

she slowly opened the gates and not looking back at Jongin, got inside. the both of them were unable to sleep that night. tossing and turning on their bed the whole night. 

~Next morning~

Eun ho came downstairs, after refreshing up. her mom was making another stack of pancakes for her as Hee Naa munched on her cereal, scrolling through her scripts. " good morning ma," she greeted her mother and sat down across Hee Naa, who didn't lift up her head to greet her. " what are you doing?" Eun ho asked. " oh! morning Eun ho, I was just doing some changes in the play, the professor told me some places where I can enhance the scenes a little." 

Eun ho nodded, and her mother put her plate in front of her. she dug in her pancakes, as she was starving and the fresh and warm pancakes were all she just needed. the phone ringed and Hee Naa jumped out of her seat." I got it!!" She shouted." Ya! Hee naa we are sitting right here no need to shout." Her mother yelled back causing hee naa to smile sheepishly at her and Eun ho giggling at her side.

After a while, Hee naa came downstairs holding a clutch bag.

" I'll be going out for a while mom, probably come back after lunch. "Hee naa said hurriedly.
Before Eun ho could ask where she was going, she was out of the door. "Mom...." Eun ho called her mother softly."Yes honey, what is it?? " Her mother looked up at her. Eun ho's face showed sadness and her mother knew exactly the reason. She kept her mug down and called her. Eun ho willingly went into her mother's arms.

" Honey, your sister likes to have her privacy, and don't worry she will tell us when she feels ready." Her mother said softly. Eun ho loved being in her mother's arms and who wouldn't. Later that day her mother went out for some work. The thought of someone again breaking into the house-made her feel sick to the stomach. 

Even the slightest creak would freak her out. It was sunny outside and the sky was a pretty blue. She sat down on her bed and began learning her lines for the play. A few hours later her phone buzzed indicating a message. Eun ho entered her pin and checked her messages.

" Suho Hyung?" She was confused as she was not expecting Suho to ever message her. He had asked her to meet him and Lay in the park near her house. She thought for a while whether she should go or not but decided to go anyway.

" It will be better to be in their company than to get all freaky here alone and besides that, and also maybe I can talk to him about that thing. I don't know, he might be able to help." She typed a quick response to him and went to wash up.

The park was within a 15 minutes distance and there was still an hour left for them to meet. Eun ho tried to call Hee naa but it was out of reach. She sighed and lay down on her bed, she looked up to the ceiling, her mind went back to the time of the break-in. She could still remember very clearly what had happened. That glint on the knife, the cold air, the heavy footsteps, and the panic which was seeping through her.

She opened her bedside drawer and took out a piece of paper.

" He is not what you think he is....  Sooner or later Kim Jongin will show his true colors and you'll be dead."

The note had said. It was the note which she received while she was hiding inside the bathroom. Eun ho had felt so many things at that one single moment. Fear, shock, confusion she had no idea what was happening and what exactly the note meant. The sudden outburst of her emotions was too hard for her to handle and before she knows it, hot tears were trickling down her sides and she is calling Jongin.
