Joseon story

Chapter 13

After today's earlier events Yemma avoided all three of them for the rest of the day.

Finally, her classes were done, so she decided to head over to the cafe for her usual latte and to see Yoongi. But when the bell chimed and she pushed open the door, a different voice welcomed her.

"Where's Yoongi?" She asked after giving her order.

"Oh, he hasn't been in for a couple of days. Can I get your name for the order?"

After she left, she was slightly disappointed. She hadn't been to the cafe in over a week and when she finally gets to go Yoongi isn't there.

Oh, he hasn't been in for a couple of days. Was he ok? Every time she had gone in Yoongi was there, he hadn't missed a day.

"He's probably just on vacation or something." Yemma shook her head. "It's not like he has to report to me where he goes."

She laughed at herself as she walked home. She only knew Yoongi from seeing him in the cafe and having small conversations with him. There was no reason for her to care about him this much.

"Hey, missy you walking all by yourself." Someone called out in front of her. "It's not safe, how about we walk you home?"

This was the first time for Yemma, being talked to without context on the street. But she didn't think much of it, they were just annoying common people.

"I'm more than capable of walking by myself, now leave me alone."

"But what if someone tries to bother you huh? We wouldn't want that now would we?" The second man cooed walking beside her.

"You mean like you are right now?"

"What did you say?" The first man said through his teeth. "We offer to walk you home and you respond by insulting us?"

"Yeah, we're not the ones walking showing off out money by wearing expensive things." He pushed her backpack on her shoulder. "You're just asking to be robbed, aren't you?"

"That's strange I thought I was minding my own business. You're the one who walked up and talked to me." Yemma said.

"Why you little-" The first man raised his arm but was stopped by his partner.

"Hey hey, we started off on the wrong foot. Why don't you come with us and we can start over again?"

"No, like I said I'm fine. Now leave me alone."

"I don't think so." The man violently grabbed her wrist and pulled her.

But before they could go any farther a scream was heard behind them. It was one of the other men.

The man who had her wrist let go in horror. When Yemma looked back the other man was gone. She heard growling and another yelp and looked back in front of her. To her surprise, the other man was gone as well.

She looked around panicked but nothing hinted that someone or something was there.

She clutched her bag close and took a shaky breath before continuing on her way home.

She was never walking home alone again after dark.
