I was playing with my phone, until Joshua stood up and said,
"Wait here." He left. It was thoughtless of him to rushed out and not saying he would be going.

I shrugged my shoulders and continue playing my phone till my battery reached 10%. I sighed and kept my phone in my bag and wait til Joshua to return.

It was already 11.00pm and the restaurant was about to close.

I waited..and waited...and waited...AND WAITED!! It felt like I'd been waiting FOREVER.
"Why is he so long?"

"Perhaps he's in the toilet? But why would he be in the toilet for 4 hours straight?!" I whined while scratching my head.

Hours passed by and customers are all gone except me. Even the owner of the restaurant started to pity me and told me to go back.

"Miss..looks like your husband ain't coming back. I think you should head back to the hotel and rest. You must've had a long day...you look very tired." She held my shoulder.
"Y-yeah. I think I should. How much is all this?" I got up and grabbed my purse to pay all the food.

"It's okay, honey...I'll pay. Just go back to the hotel... But if I see your husband tomorrow, I'll force him to pay me back. Don't worry." She flashed a warm smile and patted my back.

"Really? Thank you very much. You're very kind." I smiled widely while shaking her hand.
"Hmm..now go. It's getting late." She gestured me to leave. I bowed 90 degrees then left the restaurant with anger.

I swear, JOSHUA HONG! If I see your ass back at the hotel, I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO KICK YOU OUT AND LET YOU SLEEP OUTSIDE!!

I grumbled and went inside the elevator. The door closed and I sensed the elevator going down.
"Why is it going down? Or am I drunk?" I pressed the button multiple times but I kept going down.

Within seconds, the lights went off. I screamed on top of my lungs and covered my ears. Scary images started to popped in my mind, making me feel 10 times worst.

I hated my mind for imagining that VALAK was staring down at me, with it's scary sharp teeth. Stupid mind! You're not helping!

"HELP!! Somebody!!" I screamed for help. I tried to press the emergency button but it was useless. It didn't even worked.

Tears started to formed at the tip of my eyes but I hold it in. I grabbed my phone and dialled Joshua's number. Unfortunately, he didn't answer. I called again and again but still no answer.

"Wae?!~" I whined like a wounded gorilla.

I turned on my flashlight and kept calling for help.
"HELP!!! Anybody there?!!! I'm trapped!!"

Hot sweats were forming on my forehead and it's getting hotter and hotter.

I wanted to dialled Dokyeom's number but my phone suddenly turned off by itself due to low battery.
"Why the fuck am I so UNLUCKY?!" I groaned.

After 30 minutes of screaming and crying, one of the staff who passed by heard me.
"Miss? Are you okay?" That person asked.
"Oh! Thank God! Help!! I'm stuck!!" I cried out.

He told me to calm down and he immediately rushed to the counter to call for help. The maintenance team arrived and tried their best to open the elevator door.

My body began to feel weak so I just laid myself down, with my eyes closed. I was breathing heavily because of the air becoming thinner. I fanned myself with my hands while quietly sobbed.
