Laura's POV.
I get out of the subway and bump into someone's shoulder. I turn around and take my headphone out to say sorry, but I meet no one waiting for an excuse.
I bite my lips and turn around to continue walking.
Who doesn't stop to bash at the person that bumped into they're shoulder
As I was walking, my music stops due to some nodification being sent on my phone. I take it out and look at it.
NEW APP SUCCESSFULLY DOWNLOADED.
I never asked for a new app....
What the hell is that app anyways??
I open my phone and look for the new app, a messenger? Maybe it's interesting.
I sit on a bench and open the app. A bunch of green number start going down my screen and I bite my lip yet again.
Don't tell me it's a scam.
My phone is good for the garbage if it's a scam.
I immediately have a message.
Unknown as entered the chatroom.
A chatroom?
Unknown: ...Hello...?
I frown and start typing.
Me: ?
Unknown: can you see this?
Me: yes I can...
Why would I answer you texts if I couldn't?
Unknown: ...finally connected thank god.
Unknown: it's not everyday you get a text from a stranger.
Unknown: I'm a bit flustered myself. I found a smart phone at the subway station but all it had was this messenger app.
Unknown: I want to find the owner..but I don't see any contact or call records..
Unknown: I've been sending messages with this app but no reply...
Unknown: all I see is an address and some important looking numbers saved in notes
Unknown: I'd like to go there myself but I am currently abroad..
Me: an address?
He does talk a lot...
Unknown: yes, there's a Korean address and a long number...I think it's a password..
Unknown: do you mind going to the address?
Uh...
What should I say...
My fingers stay over the keyboard for a moment.
Thinking of what to answer.
I don't want to be rude....
but still he's a stranger...
And yet he his just trying to find the owner of the phone...
Unknown: that's all that's saved on the phone..
Unknown: I know you're surprised to have someone suddenly pop up and ask you a favour like this.
Unknown:but still....
Unknown: I'd appreciate if you could help...
I don't want to be rude...
But..
I should be doubtful..
Me: why should I help you?
Unknown: since your the only clue I have.
A clue?? How nice of you.
Unknown: I've been trying to find the owner with this phone but I didn't find any clues until now.
Unknown: i would really like to find the owner of this phone.
Unknown: then god will be happy
God????
Unknown: Oh!sorry I forgot to mention it before. I'm religious.
I don't care oh my god...he's creepy.
Unknown: Never mind what I just said. I'm sorry if I weirded you out.
Unknown: can you help me please? I'll make it up to you if I can get to go back to Korea.
Unknown: it's a really safe place. If you feel unsafe you can turn around.
Unknown: I know the area.its developed.
How does he know the area if he's a foreigner?
Unknown: please?
I sigh and look up at the sky.
I let my fingers type on the glass screen and twist my lips into a pout.
Me: finee....I'm leaving right away if it feels sketchy.
I get up and put my bag back on. I look at my phone and wait for the address to pop.
Unknown: you trust me...thank you!
Me: the address please?
Unknown: I'm going to send it to you, just a sec.
Unknown: Found it!
He sends me a link with the map on it and I look at it.
A small walk will do me some good from sitting on a subway for so long right?
~time lapse~
I look at the key pad in front of me.
He sure was right about something...
This place sure isn't creepy.
It's more than normal actually..
Unknown: are you there ? ^^ see, nothing strange.
Unknown:is there a password lock on the door.
Me: yes there is..
I bite nervously on the tip of my nail and wait for the next answer.
Unknown: I'll send you the digits.. try it.
I get a series of number and look at the lock.
If it works...
I enter the digits and hear the click.
ITS RIGHT?!
I push the door open.
Me: hello? Is someone there?
Nobody seems to be inside of the apartment..
Me: the door is opened.
Unknown:good why don't you go inside?
What?!
Me:can I just go into a strangers house like this?
No obviously you can't!!!
Unknown:you can just leave a note.ill give you my info.
Unknown: If something happens,you can just show my messages. That'll do.
Me: first...alright..
I guess he is right..
Unknown: th
Unknown: ank.
Unknown: you....
What the hell. Just enter and get out and it's going to be fine.
I enter the apartment and the door closes behind me. I jump and turn around.
Okay maybe it was just the wind...stop being afraid of everything god damn it you cry baby.. I look around and my phone beeps again. I look at the green numbers going down my screen and the chatroom with that unknown man disappears.
Laura as entered the chatroom.
another chatroom.
Wait.
WHY DOES IT SAY MY NAME.
I cover my mouth in shock and a message enters the chatroom.
Yoosung : I failed my midterms fml T-T
A student?

Well kinda.
707: Cuz you played LOLOL all night lol.
Lolol??
Jumin Han: if you want to work for our compagny, you should take care of your GPA
Am I in a private discussion? Oh my god no..I need to get out of here. I look at the message at the same time as looking around a bit.
Yoosung: I'm still on the list?! +-+
Jumin Han: Yes.
707: nice~ can't believe u get to work straight after college lol.
707: IN THIS DAY AND AGE!
Zen: Lame. It's nepotism
Jumin Han: it's called recruitment actually.
Zen: it's giving a free pass instead of actually training the worker.
Jumin Han: whatever I couldn't care less of what you say.
Oh how rude is he.
I don't even know him.
I look at the window and it's locked...
Zen: what's the difference between recruitment and nepotism?
707: thought they r the same O-O?
Jumin Han: it's nepotism if you recruit a person you know and they aren't of any help.
Yoosung: oh...so you become a candidate for nepotism at the same time your're recruited!
707: WAIT
Yoosung: why?
Zen: ??
707: think someone entered the chatroom.
I hold my breath and cover my mouth once more. I stop moving in fear and could swear I feel tears in my eyes.
Jumin Han: Laura....?
Zen: wtf. How did it get in here?
707: HACKER!

Yoosung: HACKER?! THERDE A HACKER IN OVER ROOM!!

Zen: you were so quiet I thought you went somewhere.
Jaehee kang: nothing was out of the ordinary so I was just watching.
Jaehee kang: but i see something has just happened
Yoosung: omg.
Jumin Han: why is a stranger in our chatroom?
They continue to talk and I don't
Know what to do.
Should I send a message saying it's just a huge misunderstanding.
I don't know.
I think I'm on the verge of a panic attack.
My breathing as doubled and my heart is beating so fast.
707:maybe?
Jumin Han: who download it twice??
Yoosung: not me!
OkAy i need to write something and explain myself.
Me: hey..uh this is a huge misunderstanding..

Yoosung: GAHHH ITS TALKING!

Me: I'm not an IT.
Zen: so it's not two smartphones.
Jumin Han: who is it?
Yoosung: find out what it is!
Jaehee kang: how did you find out about this place? Where do you download the application?
I'm gonna stay honest for now..
I bite my nail and type an answer in.
Me: it just weirdly appeared on my phone while I was walking out of the train..
707: oh....^^; Wait.
707: I found something.this is weird.
Zen: what is it.hurry and tell me.
707: I traced the IP....
707: it's from Rika's appartement.
Wait so they accuse me of being a hacker..

Fantastic.

Yoosung:Rika's apartment?
Jumin Han: where was it?
I close my eyes for two seconds.
God, I know I'm an atheist but please, tell me what I got myself into.
707:anyways, someone must have broken into Apt.anyways it talked just now so it must be a person ^^
Yoosung: WHO ARE YOU?! HOW DID YOU GET INTO RIKA'S APPARTMENT?!

Jaehee kang: i assume it was a break in.
Jaehee kang: username "laura" I recommend that you reveal yourself.
They continue talking and fighting like little kids and I look at the messages quickly.

Jumin Han: DONT GET DISTRACTED.
Yoosung: oh right username Laura.
