I froze as the name haunted my mind.
The hacker is back, the hacker is back.
Internally, I was shivering and screaming, calling the police and moving out of my apartment, but physically I felt paralyzed. I couldn't speak, nor move my fingers, nor muster up the courage to leave.
I was glued to the bed that rested underneath me; the only thing keeping me from collapsing.
When I regained my conscious again, I shook my head to wake me up and seen they had sent a message.

goldjeon: i see ur online
*sent at 3:17pm

I re-read this message at least thirty times over before I was able to process it.
Staring at the time stamp, it hit me like a slap in the face.
The so called "goldjeon" came online at 3:14pm, which is 4 mins after the second bus arrives at it's stop, and it takes approximately 3 minutes to walk from the stop to our building.
This can't be him.

khyemii: jungkook ?
*sent at 3:19pm

goldjeon: who?
*sent at 3:19pm

I sighed and rubbed my eyes. If it isn't Jungkook, my mind was definitely stuck and I was lost again.
I placed my controller on my bed and stared aimlessly at the screen, lost in thought. A person who this could be was still absent from my mind.
I tried vigilantly to piece together a person, but I found my mind coming up with people who don't exist. Or, maybe they do exist, and I'm yet to meet them.
I picked my controller back up.

khyemii: you're not jungkook?
*sent at 3:23pm

goldjeon: if i was i wouldn't ask u who that is
*sent at 3:24pm

I sighed and wiped the idea from my head. It wasn't Jungkook.

khyemii: at least tell me your name
*sent at 3:24pm

goldjeon: is the username not enough?
*sent at 3:25pm

khyemii: so your name is goldjeon
*sent at 3:26pm

goldjeon: to you, yes
*sent at 3:27pm

To me? I thought.
I pondered on how many people this person had fooled with this stupid game they were playing.
I rolled my eyes at the screen and closed the program. I shut of my playstation and moved towards my desk where I laid out all my homework and placed my bottle of water at the top left corner.
I began to scribble words and numbers onto pages, completing my homework in only a half hour. Homework this hard would take the average person an hour or two even, but this homework was almost a joke to me. The time it took was the time it took for me to scribble words.
I smiled at the finished papers. It was only four o'clock, and I decided to run out to the store and grab some ingredients for dinner.

When I arrived back at my apartment, I made myself dinner and ate while watching my favourite k-drama.
Suddenly, my phone rang beside me and I nearly dropped the plate in my hand.
I placed the plate down and flipped my phone's screen to face up, reading the name.

Jungkook is calling...

I stared at my phone in disbelief. I remembered I had gave him my number when he moved in incase he got lost.

I picked up the phone. "What?"
"Come to the door." Jungkook said before abruptly hanging up.
I threw my phone on the couch before standing up and walking to my door in slight confusion.

[Jungkook's POV]

I shoved my phone in my pocket, staring at the photo in my hands that I picked up off the floor in-front of her door.
I contemplated giving it back or keeping it for myself. As I heard her footsteps approach the door, getting closer by the second, I shoved the picture in my back pocket.

[Hyemi's POV]

I peeked my head though the door.
"What do you need?" I asked.
His hands were shoved in his pockets, and he pushed both me and the door back, coming in uninvited.
"What are you doing?" I said, closing the door and locking it as he walked himself into the kitchen.
I followed him slowly into the kitchen, and he dished himself some of the leftovers on my counter.
He ignored me, and fed himself while I stood in the doorway and glared.
