VIRAL LOVE Chapter 11 : CHASE Si-jin is sitting in his parked SUV, just staring at the front of the hall where they are holding the charity event. Haish am I crossing the line? Am I being a creepy stalker right now? He can’t help but think. He doesn’t even know how he ends up here. He was just driving around trying to clear his head and suddenly he realized this is where he ended up going. To that one place he knows Kang Mo-yeon is going tonight. Nevertheless he’s definitely not planning to get out of the car. No use to give paparazzi or whomever what they want. I’ll just wait here for a few minutes then I’ll drive back home, he decides. There’s a voice in his head (that sounds a lot like Myeong-joo’s) telling him that he’s being an idiot but he just ignores it. He had been pacing back and forth at his condo tonight ever since Mo-yeon sent him her last text before she drove to the event. There hasn’t been any reply after that and that was 4 hours ago. He knows he’s being silly; she’s been living for the past 27 years without him and suddenly here he is barely weeks after meeting her and acting like a possessive, jealous fool. Haish, I knew it. I knew she’s trouble from the very first time we met. But it’s too late to back away now. He’s in the middle before he realizes he even started. The only way to go from now on is forward. Kang Mo-yeon is the goal he wants to score more than any football match, any offer from a top football club, a World Cup championship. Damn it I sound even crazier than Myeong-joo. He looks at the clock. Almost 11.00 pm. He starts the engine. Just go home, Si-jin. --- The phone beeps right when he shifts to reverse. He scrambles to change the gear back to park and almost dives for his phone on the passenger seat. His heart drops when he sees that it’s an unknown number. Not Kang Mo-yeon’s. He clicks on the text message half-heartedly before his eyes widen in surprise. Unknown Number : Min Yoon-gi said he’s making his move on Mo-yeon tonight. You’d better do something if you still want that date. Who the heck—wait, he read the part about the Idol trying to make a move on his girl and his blood begins to boil. Hell freaking no. He types a reply just to make sure it’s not a prank. Can’t never be too careful nowadays. YSJ : Who is this? The reply is immediate. Unknown Number : Song San-hyun. I’m giving you this chance only once, son. Don’t screw it up. P.S : If my wife finds out I will deny any knowledge of this conversation ever happening. To say that he is shocked at the reply is an understatement. Mo-yeon’s adopted father is telling him to go for it. To go find her. He literally pinches himself to make sure he isn’t dreaming. Ouch, okay it’s real. He turns the key off and walks out of the car, pulling his cap low to cover his face. --- He sneaks inside using the backstage access and walks through the dimmed narrow pathway. The event is apparently almost over, considering most of the lights are already turned off and no one is at the backstage anymore. He decides to climb on to the darkened stage and try to sneakily look out for Mo-yeon from up there since it seems better than to suddenly appear in the crowd and cause an uproar. Is she going to be mad at me for coming? He’s taking a huge risk making her mad for coming here after their agreement but he can’t help himself. Media, fans, shippers, rumors, paparazzi whatever - everything just blurs into background noises once he received th
