As we walked the halls of our old school, I'd steal glances at Mark.
He looked the same as he did in high-school except he was taller now.
If he looked the same, why am I feeling this right now out of no where?
My phone buzzed with a notification. It was text message from JB.
MyJaeBuM❤️: Where ya at?
HyHyeri: oh Mark and I went to MLA to visit
MyJaeBum❤️: Just u two?
HyHyeri: yea we leavin soon doe
JB had left me on read right after that to which I sighed at.
We left the school after and the whole ride I was in an inner battle with myself. I needed to clear my head from thoughts of Mark and fill them instead with JB, my actual boyfriend.
Should I just confess to JB? I thought to myself.
Just when we pulled back into Uni, I saw JB sitting on his car hood just looking at his phone. My instinct was telling me to go talk to him so that's what I did. After bidding Mark farewell, I walked up to him.
"Hey stranger." I said, joining him on his car hood.
"Oh, hey Hyeri." He said looking up from his phone. A few seconds go by and we are surrounded by silence.
"We need to talk" we both say at the same time.
"You go first." I say as he says it too.
"Another time." He says sighing and putting his phone in his back pocket.
"I'm done with all my classes, you want to go grab lunch?" I said hopefully.
"Isn't that what you and Mark were doing? Why go again?" He says coldly. I was shocked by the tone of his voice and I stood there speechless as he walked away.
I walked back to my car and just sat down thinking to myself. I needed to fix this and fast but I didn't know how without hurting him.
I tried starting my car to my surprise didn't want to turn on. It was working fine this morning...
I stepped out and popped open the hood to my car and to my surprise the engine was missing.
My heart began to beat fast and I dashed into the school trying to look for JB or anyone to help.
The past few days I had been feeling as if someone was watching me and terrorizing me.
I found JB and tried approaching him but as I walked up to him, I saw him talking to three other girls. I watched as he tried to shoo each one of them off but they still lingered around him.
"Why are you stalking him just go talk to him." Someone whispered behind me.
I jumped and turned around only to find some guy watching JB close behind me.
He had the darkest brown eyes and black hair swept across his pale skin. He stood at the same height as JB and oddly smelled of pine cones. I couldn't shake the feeling that I knew him somehow. From somewhere, but where?
"I am not stalking him I was just leaving, excuse me." I said walking away.
"Oh really? Where to?" He said trailing behind me.
"Not that that's any of your business" I said walking out of Uni.
He followed me all the way back to my car. I popped open my hood of my car and felt his eyes burn holes into my back.
"Staring is rude." I said turning around to face him.
"Just wondering what you are doing is all. Didn't know you were a cars girl." He said as he opened the hood of my car.
I gasped. The engine was back.
I stood frozen. Was I going crazy? It wasn't here two seconds ago??
"I uh got to go." I said as I made my way to the door.
"W-wait HYERI!" He said as I drove off.
How did he know my name? The weird stranger was the least of my worries, right now I needed to just breathe. Or so I thought.
The car started to make weird popping sounds and the smell of gasoline started to fill the car. I was quickly losing control of the vehicle but thank god there weren't any cars around me. The car was leaning to a side and I pulled over to the side of the road.
I got out and looked at my tires. Two of them had been slashed beyond repair. I was scared. I instinctively dialed JBs number but it had went to voicemail. My finger lingered over Marks number but I had passed and clicked on Jinyoung's instead.
I told him about my car but nothing more and he said that he'd be over in a few.
He arrived and just laughed at me as he replaced both of my tires.
"Yah, did you hit a curb? How does one get their tires that damaged??" He said as he finished the last tire.
"Shut up." I said as I paced around. I was thinking of who could've done this. I didn't have anyone that hated me except for Hyerin but she wasn't like this. She would've just confronted me head on, one of the few good qualities about her, she'd just say it to your face.
Marks dad was in jail and wouldn't be coming out for awhile....
So then...who?
