Still With My Memories

20: Encounter

Author's POV
It's already dark when Jimin arrived at the train station going to foot of Obong mountain.

Carrying his huge hiking bag, he got off the bus and adjusted his tilted beanie. His breath fogged up as the weather gets colder. "Ha.. I shouldn't have overslept." He said frustratedly as he looked around the empty train station.

Meanwhile...

"Yes sir, I'm on my way..." Jungkook scratch his head and fastly pack his clothes and camera inside the bag. His boss called him in the middle of his precious "resting time" to substitute on one of their photographer who suddenly get sick on the day of important photoshoot.

He heaved a sigh as sweat stream down his forehead. "Haaa... Does he think I have teleportation power?! This boss really... Aiyhoo~" He frustratedly threw his phone inside the bag after he ended the call.

He almost stumble as he ran to the car carrying a heavy black and his camera bag ."Aigoo" He ride the driver's seat and just threw his bag on the back seat.

"Wait, where is that again?" He said after buckling his seat belt. He rummage through his bag to get his phone and read his boss' message while cathing his breath. "Oh... Okay! Let's go Jungook ah!" He said and manuvered his car to meet his team fastly.

Jimin POV
After 30 minutes of waiting, train finally arrives. It will be my first time hiking at night. I would be fine right? A little scared I hop on the train. I sniff and wipe my nose as I sat facing the window. I suddenly have runny nose due to the cold weather. The train station is on higher altitude no wonder the weather is colder gladly I wear thicker jacket.

I look around and there are no passenger except me and a young girl sitting on the opposite seat from me.

What caught my attention is the girl's behavior.

She's trembling. I saw her wiping her sweat and biting her nails while her knees keep moving up and down. She's wearing a short skirt and a full make up. The make up doesn't suit her, she's just a kid.

Something feels odd.

The trip would take an hour before reaching the foot of the mountain and it's been 30 mins since we departed the train station but the girl seems to be impatient she kept looking around.

Both of us flinched with the sudden rampage on the other side of the train. Heavy footsteps and several voices of men can be heard getting nearer.

Someone's coming.

The girl's eye widened and started to panic.

"Hey... Are you alright?" I asked in soft voice.
"H-help me ahjussi p-please... Those guys will kill me." She answered almost whispering in fear.

I am astounded with what I heard I know she's not kidding. My heartbeat races as the voices started getting nearer.

"Naeun ah~ where are you~ yohooo" We both look at the direction where the voice is coming from. I feel the cold creeps run through my spine hearing the horrible voice.

"P-P-Please..." The girl started crying in fear.

"Shhh.. you'll be fine." I told her while quickly look around trying to think where she can hide.

My eyes landed at the luggage cabinet under our seat.

"Hurry up, hide under my seat" I pulled and hide her quickly before the horrifying men arrives. Gladly, she fits just fine. I immediately lean against the window and pretended to be asleep with my mouth open.

Step.

Step.

Step.

I'm sweating a lot feeling the presence of someone stopped in front of me. I know he's staring. He just stand there for seconds but eventually walk away
