“When the past hunts you, you know you'll always have to come back.”

 

 

 

“Chooooo! Chooooo! Choooo!...”

 

I was standing a the edge of the rail, I just got off on the train. I heard the sound of the train as it started to move far away from where I was. I looked all around me, everything was different from where I came from. I started to walk and start my mission. I looked at a piece of paper on my hand.

 

 

“Stephanie Hwang Co. (address insert here)”

 

 

As I looked at the piece of paper, I wonder where the hell am I supposed to find this since I don’t really get out of the small town village where I came from that often. I saw a man wearing a thick green jacket with army navy colored scarf and earphones on his ears. I decided to approach him and catch up with him as he walked swiftly.

 

 

“Excuse me mister...I wonder if you know the way to (place)?” I asked as I tried to catch up with his steps

 

 

“I’m in a hurry.” the man dismissed me as he walked speedily on the train’s exit

 

I muttered a cursed and pant heavily as I stopped for a while to catch my breath.

 

“Damn busy idiots...” I said as I pant

 

 

A man in a guard blue uniform approached me.

 

 

“Are you alright miss?”

 

“A-ah...Yes” I said as I tried to catch my breath and continued speaking “Honestly, I am kind of lost...” I said

 

“Oh, where are you going?” the guard asked

 

“to (address)...”

 

“Take the North bound exit and take the route 59 bus outside, after that you can ask some locals for some direction.” the guard said kindly

 

“Thank you sir!”

 

 

 

I did what I was told. I took the bus. As I stared outside the window, I can see magnificent tall skyscrapers and huge billboards outside. The city was crazy with dancing lights. I can see people going in and out of high end malls and amusement bars. I can see office workers walking their way on their offices.The city was alive and all people are busy with their own world and smartphones but I couldn’t care, I’m here for one thing...and that is to search for Tiffany.

 

 

After half an hour inside the bus, I finally reached the bus’ end destination. Like the guard suggested to me, I asked some people for directions. I saw a lady in red dress wearing a blazer and a heels walking as she speaks on her phone. I tried to call her attention to ask for directions.

 

 

“Excuse me madame...”

 

 

But she just gestured her hand as if she’s telling me to stop and she’s busy and she continued walking like she haven’t seen me.

 

 

“Oh...why people here are so busy?!” I was frustrated. I continued to ask for direction but after an hour all I get was been ignored. So I just sat on the near bench and put my palm on my face in frustration.

 

 

I opened my bag to look how much money I still have for my little excursion here in the city.

 

 

“Just enough for three days...” I sighed and put my wallet back to my bag. After a minute, a gentle man in a black shirt approached me.

 

 

“Hey, are you okay?” I looked at my back to see if he's really talking to me since people in the city are so busy to talk with one another and especially entertain a stranger,

 

“Who, me?” I pointed myself and he just nodded and made his way towards me

 

“A-Actually...I am kind of lost” I admitted

 

 

The gentleman smiled at me and speak “Oh,maybe I can help you. Where are you going?” he asked as he smiled charmingly. His eyes are beautiful and he looks handsome actually.

 

 

“To (address)...”

 

“Oh, I know where that is! In fact, I can take you there” he said

 

“Wow, really? B-But I don’t want to be a burden to you...” I said

 

“Nonsense! You’re not a burden...My name is Baekhyun” he smiled charmingly and reached for my hand

 

“T-Taeyeon...” I shook his hand awkwardly

 

He speak again “Shall we?” I stood up and nodded.

 

 

We started walking around the street. We walked for five minutes before he took the left turn on a secluded alley. I was wondering why so I asked a question.

 

 

“Why are we here? Are you sure you know where it is?” I asked as I looked around

 

“It’s a short cut” he said as he winked at me and I followed him and nodded

 

 

Minutes had passed, I started to feel uneasy as I can see that we’re going to a shortcut far more secluded on the street.

 

 

“C-Can we just t-take the long way?” I asked nervously. He suddenly stopped his tracks and gripped my hands tightly as he spin me against the wall.

 

 

“Don’t move, or I’ll shoot!” he pointed a gun to me and my heart pounded double in fear

 

“W-Why...P-Please d-don't..” I pleaded

 

“Just give me your cash and we’re done here.” he commanded

 

“H-Here...P-Please don’t s-shoot...” I raised my hands in the air.

 

I need to be alive for my Fany!

 

“Don’t worry...I won’t” he said as he smiled

 

 

Damn this wicked entity!

Chapter 52: Ang Ganda! Sobrang meaningful ng story! 🥹
I like the way how you tackle a sensitive topic like this. No judgements. Understanding and acceptance ...🥹
This is my favorite line "Who knew that her dreams could wake her life up".
Lastly, I like the song Almost, it fits their love story (when they haven't found each other yet!).
