Moon Jo's Neighbors POV-

"Mom!" I yell from the kitchen as I wash the dishes

"My goodness, I'm right here." She says back, making her way into the kitchen with her walking cane.

Setting a plate down, I wipe my wet hands on my apron
"Mom you know you should be sitting down!" I say as I rush over to her

"Oh relax, I only fractured one leg" she says back

I look down at her cast as I sigh
"You should still be sitting" I say as I quickly pull my hair into a ponytail

"I'll be fine" she says

I shake my head
"Well I'm heading off to the grocery store. We're running out of some stuff and I need to pick up your medicine." I say as I make my way to the front door, slipping on my shoes

My mother follows behind me
"I should come with you, it's too dangerous to be out alone" she says

I look over at her
"Mom, Ill be fine. And if something were to happen, at least I have a running chance to get away" I joke as she hits me on my arm

"Ouch!" I giggle

"You're lucky it was my hand and not this cane" she says back with a smile

I open the front door and step outside
"Do you need anything else while I'm out?" I ask, looking back at her

"No, just hurry back" she says

Just then I hear a car pull up.

Turning my head, I see it's...that mans car.

"Oh god" I thought, looking back at my mother

"Alright I'll be back soon, you get inside." I say quickly to my mother

"Oh my goodness" she says, looking in the mans direction as she covers her mouth

I turn my head to see him now getting out of his car. Except, he looked like he got the shit kicked out of him. His nose seemed to be bleeding and he had a cut on his forehead. As well as some dry blood around his mouth. He looked awful.

"What happened to him?" My mother asks

The man looked over at me, flashing that same unnerving smile as he waved his hand.
I felt the hairs on my arm begin to stand as his wild smile once again sent chills down my spine.

Turning my attention back to my mom, I try to push her back inside
"Get back inside Mom, I'm telling you he isn't right." I say

She looks at me confused
"He's clearly hurt! We should help him" she says

"NO!" I yell

She looks at me confused

"No, please just go back inside. Do not talk to him. Please believe me, he's crazy." I say as I finally get her behind the door

"I'll be back, do not open the door for anyone." I say as I close the door.

Making my way to my car, I pull out my keys quickly, avoiding all eye contact with the man.

When I get inside my car, I slam the door shut just as I look back at him.

His eyes were still on me...yet his smile was gone. He just..stared.

"Fucking creep" I thought as I started my car and sped away.
