3 | encounter

I looked at him hysterically with my jaw dropped. I was panicking. He was just standing there as if nothing weird is happening. The elevator is really not stopping! My heart beat's racing momentarily at the thought.

I was screaming inside of me and he was............. smirking?

Is this guy for real? I'm seriously shocked at what's happening and he's just smirking?

"Why are you smirking that way? What is happening here?" I asked pretty loudly because of nervousness.

I dragged myself towards the buttons and only had seen numbers scribbled all over them. What can I expect, I can't read hangul so I pressed every button that doesn't have numbers on it thinking that maybe they have some kind of service provider in this damn expensive hotel.

Shit. These buttons don't even have a button reserved for emergency purposes especially in a life and death situation like what I'm experiencing now? What is up with the engineers who designed and created this place? They probably had their heads hit on a table as a baby. Seriously, from where I was, my country, a button for emergency purposes is a must. This is probably the first time I ever encountered one like this. In this foreign land.

"This is even funnier than I thought inside my head," He said between his laughs.

I shot him a sharp look," You think this is funny? We're gonna die!"

My voice was shaky and full of fright. My hands sweaty. My heart beating twice its normal beating. My legs trembling. I'm helpless and creeped out yet he's just there looking not even a tiny bit frightened, hysterical, shocked as me.

He laughed even more," Relax, you're with me. Nothing could go wrong."

I saw him crossed his arms and lean on the cold wall and motioned me to just keep doing what I was doing before which is the random pressing of buttons. He smirked and showed his lopsided grin. If this situation was a completely different one, he would be looking adorable. But this is obviously different and he looks weird and smug but looking good nonetheless.

God, how I wish I could wipe that look on his face. Then, I would be so glad and beyond thankful before I die miserably here in this moving closed up space.

I stared at him unbelievably," You're not even going to help me? You're just gonna stand there and do nothing? What's wrong with you?"

I had work to do. I have a sister counting on me. I had the whole team, not to mention the CEO of the company that I was in, trusting in me giving a work that is valued as much as my life yet I am here in this life threatening situation.

"Easy there tiger, one question at a time."

Shit. I'm even stuck here with a stranger and he's not even doing anything except being poised and relaxed. I look at him. He seems to be a type of guy that doesn't need to work his butt off to earn a living. The way his hair is tousled nicely and the way he just stood there says it all. He must be really filthy rich and as for me? I guess I'm just so damn unlucky.

I gazed at the number above the door.

13⬆

"You know what ugh! Never mind, we're gonna die here and it's your fault!" I hissed at him which earned me a chuckle.

"My fault? What did i do? You're with me and I already like you."

God, please let me slap him. Just this once. I'm not gonna make it too painful. I promise.

"Do you think you're a bit helpful?" I said almost yelled at him.

He replied me with just a blank look.

"Relax."

"Relax?" I questioned irritated "If in this situation you can relax, well I don't. I can't. I'm seriously tired and this stuff that is happening here is freaking getting to my nerves."

Just then the elevator stopped abruptly.

The elevator just stopped in the middle of it's rapid moving!

I was practically thrown away to his arms by the sudden motion. He was wide-eyed as he take in what was happening. He holds me nonetheless but he's not looking at me. He tilted his head to the right as if he's thinking thoroughly in his head and just staring at the air. I looked up to him to see the calculating look upon his furrowed eyebrows as if something that wasn't suppose to happen, happened.

I looked around us yet the elevator door stayed closed.

"Weird. This shouldn't happen." He muttered more to himself.

Noticing myself in his grasp, I quickly composed myself and sprinted as far as possible from him.

"Sorry, it was because of the inertia. I didn't mean to get to you and of course I didn't want to get to you." I emphasized the last phrase looking at the floor whilst panicking.

He looked at me as if I just cut his train of thoughts and walked towards me. "No, that's not what I mean. You with me in that close proximity and position is perfectly fine with me. What I mean is, this elevator shouldn't be stopping here. Weird."

I shot him a look of curiosity. "What do you mean?"

He sighed and after a second he shook his head in a disbelieving manner probably ignoring my question. "Oh. I get it now."

"Oh my God. You know what's happening? All along you're aware of what is happening? Are you for real?" I clung at the steal that was joined from the wall of the elevator.

"Before, I was in control of what's happening. Oops, let me rephrase that. What I mean is, I know what is going to happen. Now, I just figured out I don't anymore." He replied.

I face palmed myself and breathed heavily. I looked at where we are at the spot where he pointed earlier.

15⬆

We're on the 15th floor yet the door isn't opening. The elevator just stopped. The elevator is just hanging there. No movement at all. This is even more panic worthy.

We're stuck.

"Look, if you're playing with me. Just please, take me out of the hook. I'm damn tired." I said disappointed slumping on the floor of the elevator.

I can feel him slump down beside me. "I warned you, do you remember?"

I turned around to face him. "Well, you didn't make it clear. I can't even believe I'm talking to you right now."

"I'll make a good company," he cooed."Aren't you just the luckiest. Me, offering to talk to you, a girl in a yellow sweater, is a big thing. You should be proud."

I glared at him, "Shut up."

"Listen," he said straightening up,"It's already 1 am, if you scream your lungs out, no one's gonna hear you here. All you have is me. So I say, we be friends."

I shot him a deadly glare. "You wish."

He acted as though he's hurt. "Oh. My heart just broke. My pride just crashed into tiny pieces. Save me."

I glared at him, not deadly this time. I brushed the invisible dirt on my coat as I straighten as well.

"Seriously though, why would it stop here? At 15th floor?" He muttered more to himself.

I answered nonetheless, "What? You're playing as a detective now?"

Just then, the worst part is the light was dimming slowly.

I looked at him hysterically as if he was my life line. He stayed with his calculating facade still taking in what was happening.

"I can't believe this." He exclaimed and he looked at the spot where I looked a moment ago, on the top of the door.

"Jeon Jungkook, stop playing with us."
