The Guardian

Chapter 15

"Keep talking?"

"Yes...", Yeong hurriedly starts his car.

"About what? Why should I lock the door? What's happening?"

He can hear Hajin's starting to panic. "I'll tell you later...let's not talk about this now...", he doesn't want her having another panic attack. "Don't worry okay, I am on my way..."

"Okay...", Hajin believes in Yeong.

"What did you mean with my kiss tasted different?", Yeong tries to change the subject. Hoping Hajin will calm down if she thinks about something else.

"Huh? Should we really talk about this right now?"

"Yes...tell me right now..."

"But don't get mad..."

"I won't...", Yeong's speeding his car. While trying to calmly talk with Hajin through the AirPods. "Different from who? How many men did you ever kiss with?"

"Mmm...technically speaking...just a few...only 5...0r 6...oh wait I think it's 7...", Hajin's counting every name in her head.

"A few???", Yeong can't believe what he has just heard. Okay, maybe it's not the right time to worry about that. But seven men? "In what earth kissing seven men counted as a few?"

"You said you won't get mad..."

"I am not mad...I am just...", Yeong takes a deep breath. "Surprised..."

"That five men...were just for a drama...I only have two real kisses...one of them was with you..."

"Okay..."

"You're mad..."

"No..."

Hajin went silent for a minute.

"Hajin ah...keep talking...", Yeong calls her name.

"Someone's coming...", Hajin whispers.

"What?"

"I heard footsteps are approaching..."

"Stay there...dont open the-", Yeong hasn't finished his words but Hajin already hangs up the phone. Shit. Yeong steps the accelerator. Driving as fast as he could. Trying to block all the bad thoughts that cross his mind.

==============

Yeong gets out of the car and runs inside Hajin's home. The door isn't locked.

"Yeong ah...", Hajin smiles. Greeting Yeong who just barged inside the living room.

"What the-", Yeong can't believe Hajin is chilling in the living room with Hakyung. While he's driving and running lime crazy. "Why didn't you tell me that Hakyung was home already?!", didn't she know that he's worried to death.

"I..."

"I am sorry, why were you yelling at my sister?", Hakyung glares at Yeong. She doesn't understand what's happening. But she's the only one who can tell at Hajin.

Yeong takes a deep breath. Trying to calm himself down. Both of those girls don't know about the stalker. So he shouldn't lash out at Hajin like that. "I am sorry..."

"What's happening?", Hakyung looks at both Hajin and Yeong.

"Have you told her?", Yeong asks Hajin. Wondering if Hajin already told Hakyung about the unanimous flower bouquet in her room before he came here.

"You want me to tell her?", Hajin raises her eyes, she thought he wanted to keep it secret. Yeong just nods. Hajin grins happily and turns to her sister. "Hakyung ah...Yeong and I are dating..."
