Together You and I

CHAPTER 24

CHAPTER 24

MAE's P.O.V.

I was so engrossed in looking around the concert hall for my missing necklace when suddenly the lights turned off and I was engulfed with total darkness. I froze and started groping in the dark in fear. What happened? Why did they turned off the lights? Did they forgot that I am still here? I heard some rustle from a distance. Again, I froze as I try to search where the sound is coming from. Is there some someone here with me or is it some ghosts or is it just a figment of my imagination? 

My heart starts to beat wildly and I can feel beads of sweat are starting to form in my forehead. I want to scream but it feels like I swallowed my voice. I am really scared of the dark, but I have to gather my courage so that I can get out of there. I was about to take a step when I heard a familiar voice. 

"Noona! Noona! Where are you?" I felt my heart skipped a beat when I heard Jungkook's voice. 
"Over here!" I replied in a shaky voice, but then I realized that we are in total darkness and it's impossible for him to find my location and so I started to move trying to take one step at a time when I accidentally hit my toe at the edge of a seat. I grunted and tried to hide my scream. I winced in pain as I crouched down to nurse my injured toe. "Noona, just stay where you are okay and I will get to you. Please keep speaking or if you want you can sing." I took a deep breath to calm myself down. Wait, did he say he wants me to sing? Is he out of his mind? I am not a singer. I don't have that golden voice. I am so perplexed with his command but maybe he has a good reason behind it and so I obeyed. I cleared my throat and started singing my favorite song from my favorite drama "Full House" with actions.

"Look!there is three bears
all in the same house
father bear, mother bear, little bear
father bear is very fat
mother bear is very slim
little bear is so cute I could die
what a happy family!"

As soon as I finished my song, I felt a strong presence in front of me. I felt the chills run through my spine. "Noona." I felt his hot minty breath fan my face. I reached out my shaky hand to grab the sleeves of his shirt. "Noona, are you okay?" He asked worriedly as he took my hand on his sleeves and hold it with his hand. The warmth of his hand immediately gave me warmth, comfort and security. I swallowed hard before I spoke. "I'm scared of the dark." I admitted embarrassingly and bowed my head. He immediately pulled me next to me and put his arm around me. The gestured really helped me calm down. "Okay, Calm down. I'm here. I won't let you go." His last sentence made me feel things I can't explain. I believed it. I believe him. He took my hand in his and we started walking. After a few steps he stopped moving. "What is wrong?" I asked. "I think we are locked in." He answered. What does he mean we are locked in? 

I took my hand from his and blindly reached out in front of me. I felt the door and tried to open it by pushing it or pulling it but it won't budge. I am starting to panic again. Why is this happening? "Hello! Is there someone out there! There are still people in here! Please open the door!" I shouted from the top of my lungs and started banging at the door. "Hello! Please! Let us out!" I kept banging on the door until Jung Kook held my hand to stop me. "Noona, please stop! You will only hurt yourself. Don't worry. I am sure they will find us." Jung Kook tried to pacify me, but my worry only got worse when I realized that I am locked in a very dark place with Jeon Jung Kook. What if some people will make a fake news about us? What if someone will use me to hurt him? My fear of darkness suddenly shifted to the fear of people finding us together alone in here. What will people say? I am scared not for myself but for him.

"Don't worry? How can I not worry, when we are locked here together. What if other people find out?" I asked. "And so what if other people find out? We aren't doing anything wrong." He answered coolly. I rolled my eyes and pulled my hair in the dark. Why is he acting so cool about it?
