"Well, which way should we go?" Emily asked, looking around the forest.
"Hmmm... maybe we should go...." Jazi spun around in a circle before stopping and pointing in one direction. "That way!" Jazi began to march that way, before the back of her shirt was grasped tightly, pulling her back.
"I think we should head.. That way." She pointed the opposite way, where one could see the top of two buildings.
"Oh, yeah.." Jazi replied sheepishly. "Oh! That's the C&R building!" Jazi pointed at one of the buildings.
"Yeah it is! The second tallest building!" Emily replied, a wide smile on her face. The two shared excited, fangirly looks before racing in the direction of the building. Unbeknownst to them the pair of eyes following them.

"I.. huff.. Think we should stop... for a...phew boy... bit." Jazi gasped, gently placing her hand to the side of her head.
"Yeah, I... huff... agree." Emily huffed out.
The two girls made their way to a bench in a nearby park. They sat down and let out relieved sighs. Their feet hurt, seeing as they had been running/walking for so long, and their eyes felt heavy from exhaust. Because of this, they both began to feel sleepy.
"Maybe we should... yawn~, take a break.." Jazi yawned out, her eyes barely open.
"Yeah.. we should.. Yawn~..." Emily replied. Then, the two were out like a light, leaning on one another on that park bench.
~~~~~~~~~~
Jazi's eyes slowly opened, awaking slowly but surely. However, the sight she was met with had not been the one she last saw. Instead, she was faced with the ceiling of a car, with a few lights flashing past in her peripheral vision. She heard the faint sound of an engine along with the sound of a man's voice. It was a deep, smooth, and velvety voice that gave her a sense of calmness. That is, until she realized that she was in an unknown place.
She immediately sat up, her eyes blown wide and her face twisted in shock. She frantically shook her head, trying to see where she was. She noticed that she was not in any normal car, instead, it was a black van. Confused, she turned her head over to where she heard the voice from before, only to let out a choked noise at the owner. There, sitting in front of her, on seats turned around, was none other than Jumin Han. Talking on the phone. In... english?
"Yes, meeting tomorrow. Thank you assistant Kang." Ah, so he was talking to Jaehee, who was also responding in English. Her voice was strong, light and professional, with a hint of exhaust, seeing as she was talking to her boss.
"What about those two girls? You said you found them on a bench, but you didn't say anything else." Jaehee asked quizzically.
"I decided to bring the two to my apartment, they still seem to be asleep." At that, Jazi saw his head turn towards her. Jazi panicked and practically slammed her head back down. Although she hurt her head, she noticed how squishy and soft the seats were. Almost instantly after hitting her head down, her eyes grew heavy.
"Sigh... okay, have a good evening then, Mr. Han." Jaehee sighed out. With that, she heard the sound of Jumin hanging up. "I know you are awake." He called out in a monotone voice. Jazi flinched before slowly sitting back up. She rubbed her eyes tiredly, yawning as she looked over to the man. She smiled nervously, her voice quivering as she spoke.
"H... hey there..."
~~~~~~~~~~
The two simply sat there. No movements, no sounds. It was awkward and Jazi felt anxious and intimidated. She didn't even understand, she loved Jumin! But at that moment, she was absolutely terrified of that poker face.
Luckily, she managed to find Emily, after a few minutes of searching with her eyes, sleeping two seats away. Jazi managed to scoot over and pull Emily next to her, all while under Jumin's gaze. Jazi gently nudged the sleeping girl, effectively awakening her.
"Guh, hmm?" Emily, groaned out, her eyes fluttering open, sitting up and rubbing her eyes. She let out a soft yawn, only for it to be interrupted with a choking sound, when she was met with the sight of Jumin Han across from her. "Is that...?"
Jazi nodded her head slowly. Still in disbelief that he of all people found them.
"Now that you two ladies are awake," Jumin suddenly began, causing the two girls to let out squeaks. "Care to explain why you were asleep on a bench."
"Care to explain why you kidnapped us?" Emily retorted.
"Gasp! Emily!" Jazi gasped out. "He helped us at least!... you did... right?" The last part was directed to Jumin, her face nervous.
"Yes." He responded blandly.
"See!" Jazi exclaimed, before quickly sending an apology to Jumin.
"Yeah, but shouldn't he have woken us up instead? I mean, how did we even get into the limousine?" Emily asked.
"Well, uh, that is..." Jazi stuttered out.
"I can answer that." Jumin interrupted, once again causing the two girls to squeak. "I was on my way home when Driver Kim saw you both on that park bench. He insisted that we help you, and I complied. But only because you-" He pointed to Emily. "Appear to like cats."
Jazi let out a snort while Emily let out a muffled laugh. He gave the two a confused look, further causing the girls to laugh. They continued like that for a short while, clutching their stomachs from laughing.
"What is so funny?" Jumin asked, only causing the girls to laugh more.
After their laughing fit, the two girl's wiped away their imaginary tears, little giggles leaving their lips. The two calmed down and the silence enveloped them all.
"Uhm, sir?" A voice from the front of the car called. A small window opened, showing the eyes of Driver Kim. "We arrived."
The two girls shared confused looks, "Where are we?" they said in unison.
"My apartment."
