Love, Lies & Mystery | jjk (On Hold)

~~~~~~~Chapter 1~~~~~~~

He lightly trails his finger from your cheek to your collarbone, and when you let out a quiet gasp, he takes your chin to make your eyes meet his.
Then, as he sees the mixture of fear and curiosity in your eyes, he smirks.
"Are you scared, Y/N? Or do you want me?"
But it was more than just the words he said, it was in the way he said it. That deep, sexy voice and those eyes that would definitely haunt your memory. They just lure you in, like a moth drawn to a flame. You notice that as you look at him, you feel like all your nerves just die away and all you're left with is a quickening heartbeat and a panicking brain. But you just stay there, eyes locked with his, unable to move or speak...

beep..beep..beep     Beep..Beep..Beep     BEEP!..BEEP!..BEEP!

You wake with a start and groan as you realize it was only a dream. But then you perk up once you also realize that today's the first day of your senior experience. You jump out of bed and hurry to get ready for the amazing day ahead. Then, as you open the door to leave, you find your best friend, Inna, about to knock. You both look at each other and laugh before heading off to the famous Jackson High.

You and Inna have been best friends since middle school, and honestly, you have no idea how you would've made it this far without her. She's always been there by your side, through everything! Plus, above everyone else, she's the only one who really understands you. Of course, you've shared a few disagreements along the way, but who hasn't? You both are 18, going into senior year of high school and have no idea what you want to do with your lives.

Once you get to the large campus, you're engulfed by the hoard of students who are talking and catching up outside the main school building. You and Inna hold hands as to not lose each other and try to find people that you know from at least last year. Instead of finding anyone you know, you catch sight of someone that seems so familiar but you have no idea as to why. You knew you had never met him before, but still, there was a strange feeling in your gut as you saw him.

Inna notices you staring at a new guy and smirks.
Slightly nudging you, she says, "Hey, you like whatcha see?"
You quickly turn your head and give her a look she knew all too well, because it's the look you always give her when you need to tell her something but don't know how. She's pulls you aside to ask what's wrong when you're suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice over the loudspeaker.
"Good morning and welcome to Jackson High, I hope we all have a splendid year!" Then, after a moment's pause, he says calmly, but firmly "Maybe now it's time we should all come inside and start the day?"

Everyone stops chatting and starts snickering as well as filing in through those same, familiar hallways, grabbing your schedules as you go and shuffling to their designated classrooms. You and Inna, though being in the same grade, haven't always had the same classes together. But this time it looks as if the odds were in your favor.

As you and Inna pick where you're gonna sit, you glance around the classroom and see the guy from earlier and it looks like he's coming straight towards you. For some reason, you start to panic, but soon realize that he's only searching for a seat as well. He soon picks a seat a couple rows ahead of you. So you also sit down and see that Inna has already gotten settled and was looking at you with slight worry. You just give her small smile as if to say *I'm ok*

The day went by pretty quick since it was only the first day and only light stuff was gone over. Finally, at the end of the day, as everyone is getting themselves up and out the door, you and Inna share a glance and almost run out the door yourselves. But before you could get that far, you feel someone tap you lightly on the shoulder. You turn around, and to your surprise, it's another new guy you've never seen before.
He extends his hand saying "Hi, my name's Taehyung."
You smile at him and shake his hand saying "Nice to meet you, my name's Y/N."
He nods and asks "Do you live in this neighborhood?"
"Yes, I live about half a block from here and so does Inna, my best friend."
They shake hands politely, but he soon turns his attention back to you.
Suddenly, he leans close and whispers so only you can hear, "I would advise you to be careful walking home like that. Especially at night"
You back up a little and give him a confused look. Inna nudges you, wondering what's going on and you quickly say that you have to go while pulling Inna with you as you leave. He watches you, every step of the way, until you're out of sight.

Inna pipes up as you start down the sidewalk leading home.
"What just happened?" she asks.
Honestly, you're just as confused as she is about the whole thing.
When she can see that you have no idea how to answer, she asks "What exactly did he say?"
"He said *"I would advise you to be careful walking home like that. Especially at night"*.
She gave you a weird look and you just shrug and say "I know, it's weird and kind of creepy, but I want to know what he meant by it. I mean, yeah, it's common knowledge that we should be careful walking home and especially at night...but, it's the way he said it. It's as if he was warning me about something that I should know about. Like some new danger."
Inna just silently nodded and listened, trying to piece it together. But it was to no avail.
"Ugh, I don't know!" she grumbled.
"I guess we should just be a little careful from now on. Just in case, ok?"
You nod in agreement.
