The Guy in Mask (short story)

Chapter 01

Shane's POV

I'm just an innocent girl who don't have any interest to artists or idols. I am focused on my study and my hobby which is photography. I'd like to catch up scenes that is unique.

Suddenly, while i'm taking picture of the sunrise near the river. I saw a guy wearing a facial mask seating beside the river and watching the sunrise.

It caught my attention and the scene is so beautiful that's why I take photo of him watching the sunrise without his permission.

After I clicked the button of the camera, he suddenly looked at me.

I was froze...

I don't know why....

His eyes was so adorable...

I didn't noticed that he walk towards me.

It feels like the time went so slow while he is walking towards me.

"Give it to me." He whispered.

"Huh?" I said while looking at his adorable eyes.

"I said give me the memory card of the camera." He repeated.

"W-why?" I said nervously.

He suddenly took the camera in my hand and removed the memory card of it. Then he gave me back my camera.

He walked away from me slowly and leave me alone near the river.

"What just happened?" I whispered to myself.

Then after that, I realized that the guy lately took the memory card....

I immediately followed him but i couldn't found him. I search everywhere but I couldn't see him.

Where did he go????

I felt my head was getting hotter because of anger.

My favorite photos are in the memory card and I'm gonna present it on the exhibition next week. What should I do?

"Yahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted without hesitation even the crowd are looking at me..........

............................

"What?!!!!!" Shouted Yeri.

Yeri is my friend since elementary. She is now my best friend.

"Shane, why did you let that guy took the memory card?!!"

By the way, Shane is my name.

"I know, Yeri. I'm such an idiot! Huhuhuhu what should I do?" I said while crying.

"(Deep breath) Okay, let see. We are going to the police station and report what happened. And for now, just buy new memory card and took pictures again so that if the police didn't found it, you still have a way to attend the exhibition, okay?" Suggested Yeri.

"But, its not that easy to take photos and have a beautiful scenery." I said.

"Then, do you have any other plans, Shane?" Yeri asked again.

I became silent to her question.

"No, I don't have other plans." I whispered.

"See? We don't have any choice. Just do what I said, Shane. We should try."

(Evening)

I lay on my bed while looking at the ceiling. I kept on thinking of what is that guy look like because lately the police asked me about it and I only said that he is in black coat and wearing black mask. Then I didn't added more information because I don't know what he really looks like.

"Hmmm those eyes.... I felt like those eyes wants to say something." I rolled to the right.

" Is he brokenhearted? Or sad?" I rolled to the left.

"I think that guy is rich but why did he took my memory card?"

I again looked at the ceilings.

"Is it because I took a photo of him? But its not a matter, his face is dark at the photo and he also wears a mask so no one can recognize him.......... Wait!!?!??....." I suddenly sit up.

"Is he???????????....."

"Is he....... A........"

"Is he a CRIMINAL?"

"Maybe he don't want to be recognize because he is a criminal. Yes, that's right!!!!"

Guy in Mask's POV

There are many beautiful scenery in the photos took by that girl. I don't think she is a paparazzi or sasaeng fan. There is only one photo of me and basically, you can't see my face in the photo.

"The photo is good. Maybe I can save it." I said.

"Hyung, its time to eat!" Called my co-member in a kpop group. Yes, I'm an idol and a member of a kpop group.

"Okay." I answered.

"What's that hyung?" He asked.

"Its nothing." I answered.

"Woah, may I see. Did you take all those photos? Its amazing. You have a talent hyung. You can be a photographer."

I just remain silent at that moment. I don't want to tell them about what I did to the innocent girl. But honestly, I felt that my conscience is attacking me.

.........................

Shane's POV

I went to the park everyday to take photos so that I can at least have photos to present on the exhibition. But honestly, I'm also here to see if that criminal guy came back. If really I see him again I will report him to the police and then, I will be a hero!!!! Hahahahahaha.....

But sadly, I never saw him for five days. And base on my photos taken this week, I think this won't work on exhibition. If only my memory card returned to me I will have a chance to win on the exhibition.

..................

Again, I went to the park today. Today is Sunday and tomorrow is the exhibition. I am hopeless. I wish I can catch the sunrise today.

I here at the same place where I met that Guy in Mask.

Suddenly, I stopped on walking. He's here too!???

What a lucky day!!!

I silently walk towards his back. Keep silent Shane. This is your chance to get that criminal and get an award from the police station because you've catch a criminal.

He slowly turned back to me and this is my chance....

I attacked him with my ultimate self defense martial arts... The high kick!!!!!!
