t w e l v e | unknown caller

"what?"

"chenle came to my workplace and he asked if we could go to mark's wedding." i explained. sanha wouldn't approve i think. "who's mark?" he asked.

"oh wait- yeah i knew that guy. rocky was in the same class as him back when we were in high school." oh really? i haven't seen rocky in awhile fyi.

what should i do now? "it's okay if you don't want us, or me generally to come to his wedding." i'm genuinely saying this because i truly understands.

i get it if sanha doesn't want me to come. "sure. you can go, you don't need my permission though." he stood up and smiled at me. but why? why are you so nice to me.

it's unfair.

"wait." i said when he was about to leave the living room. he turned back to me and hummed.

i wanted to ask him if he really doesn't mind. i know he said he let me, but we don't really know what is actually inside his mind. i could be wrong, but i also want to make sure.

should i ask him?

"n-nevermind." i eventually say and look down. he then came up to me and pulled my chin up so i can meet his eyes.

"it's okay. you can go. i'm not going to be mad at you." he smiled. god damnit sanha. you're making me feel bad. what did i do to deserve you?

"i'm going to take a shower." he said. i nodded and he left me. i sighed, sanha is way too nice. he's way too precious and needs to be protected at all cost.

i looked over my phone and noticed that i just got a message. it's from an unknown number though. who could it be? i'm still scared whenever i got a phone calls or messages from an unknown number.

i'm sure that i'm not the only one, right?

unknown number
hey eun!

unknown number
it's me chenle

unknown number
save my number!

wait how did he get my number? probably from jaemin. whatever i won't bother. then i saved his number and named it 'lele'.

eun
hey chenle, what's up?

lele
nothing much

lele
just want to ask if you're coming to mark's wedding or not

lele
you'll come right?

that's the thing. i don't really know if i should come or not. i mean it's 'mark's wedding' not 'meeting jaemin' so i guess it okay.

eun
yeah i think so

eun
but sanha won't come, that's okay with mark right?

lele
it's okay, but mansoo will come with you right?

lele
i love your child eun! he's really cute just like yura and daejung

eun
yeah he'll come with me

lele
awesome

lele
i need to meet mei, it's nice talking to you eun!

and i want to reply but another unknown number is suddenly calling me. what's with unknown number with me today?

who's this? i'm way too scared to answer it. but who knows it could be important. i took a deep breath before i pressed accept.

i put my phone on my ears and said hello. there was nothing at first. i was confused and asked if there's anyone on the line and another silence just came on the line. is this some kind of a joke to them?

as i was about to hang up, a voice can be heard trough the phone. "i'm going to find you." i can hear them through the phone. "what the hell." i murmured.

"you messed up big times eun." i furrowed my eyebrows as i continued to focus. what are they trying to say? who the fuck is this?

"who are you? how did you get my number?" i asked sternly. i'm not up for any type of jokes or pranks. "i see that you're now with sanha? well, this wasn't the best one yet."

what? this is getting ridiculous. "who are you? what do you want from my family?"

"i'll see you later eun. you might want to protect your child."

"what-" then they hang up. i looked at my phone, panicking. who was it just then? my breathing pace is unstable.

"mansoo?! mansoo!" i immediately searched through the house for mansoo. what the caller just said made me really worried about mansoo.

i stopped when i saw mansoo eating his jellybean on his bed. i sighed and hugged him tightly. "mommy what's wrong?" he asked.

then i cried. what is going on? i'm so terrified. i can feel mansoo hug me back. i kissed his head in between my tears. what will happen to him? what will happen to my child?

"what's going on?" i can hear sanha asked. he just got out from the shower because his hair is still dripping with water.

he widened his eyes as he saw me crying. he went up to both me and mansoo and we all hug. this is what i want after that call. i'm scared that i will loose both of them.

what is going on?

"hey what happened? why are you crying?" sanha asked. i'll tell him, but not here. not in front of mansoo. "let's talk elsewhere. i'm sorry mansoo for suddenly coming up to you." i hug mansoo once again.

"it's okay ma." he smiled and took another of his jellybean. before i left his bedroom, i make sure that his window is secured and locked. i shut the window with the curtains. all that's happening tonight made me paranoid.

then sanha and i left mansoo's bedroom and went to our bedroom to talk. "so what's wrong?" he asked again.

i took a deep breath before i speak. my hands is still trembling from the fear. "someone just called me. i don't know who it is but they were threatening to hurt mansoo and you. i was panicking so i ran up to mansoo and made sure if he's alright. i'm so scared-"

before i can say anything else, i burst out crying. this reminds me of when i got kidnapped. it traumatized me ever since. i don't know what to do.

"hey hey hey." sanha then hug me and pat my head. it just made me cry even harder. "it's going to be okay. it's alright. i'll protect you, protect mansoo, protect us." he said with his soothing voice.

i am so confused and scared.

•••

"should we take him now, herin-sshi?"

i stopped them before they can do anything. "not now. we have to wait until the perfect time." i said while smirking.

"let's see how your life will turn miserable now, you fuck." i said while playing with a gun on my hand.
