“I’m leaving for school now!” Aeri grabbed her coat and scarf as rushed out the door.

“You forgot your – ”

The door slammed shut.

“Lunch.” Woohyun finished.

“I’m so late…” Aeri panicked inside the elevator as put on her coat and fixed her shoes.

The second the elevator doors opened Aeri ran out the front door of her apartment building.

She had a total of 15 minutes to get to school, if she ran she would be just on time.

“He must have already left.” Aeri thought when there was no sign on Sian anywhere.

She didn’t waste another moment and ran to the entrance of her apartment complex.

Aeri hadn’t noticed the extra pair of footsteps following her.

She was too occupied on getting to school on time.

It was until she saw the reflection through a building window then a car window that caused her to panick.

When she sped up the stranger did to and when she slowed down so did he.

As she turned the second corner, she stopped and leaned against the wall.

When the figure finally turned the corner Aeri brought her bag over her head and started beating him with it.

“Why are you following me?!?!” She continued to hit him.

“Leave me alone! Help!!” She screamed.

“Ow! Stop! Aeri! It’s me!” A familiar voice cried.

Aeri pulled her bag away and saw Sian in front of her.

“Don’t do that again! You scared me!” Aeri slapped him.

“Do what?”

“Follow me like that.”

“I just saw you as I came out the store.” He showed her a white plastic bag.

“So…you weren’t the one following me?” Aeri asked.

“Someone was following you?” Sian worried and quickly took a look around the corner but there was no one in sight.

“I guess it was all in my head.” Aeri brushed off the situation.

“You need to get more sleep.” Sian joked poking her forehead.

“Yea yea, let’s go before we’re late for class…again.”

And they walked off.

“Come in” Mr. Han spun his chair around to face the door.

“Boss…” His assistant started to speak.

“What is it?”

“I…I…”  

“You what?” Mr. Han narrowed his eyes.

“She got away…”

“What do you mean she got away?” Mr. Han smacked his palm on his desk causing his family portrait to fall to the ground, shattering the frame into pieces.

“Young master jumped out of nowhere…I couldn’t take action with him near.”

Mr. Han let out a long sigh and shook his head.

“I want this done. Without a trace. Now get out!”

“Yes boss…”

“Let’s all go play!” Jisoo linked arms with Aeri.

“Play? I can’t…” Aeri pouted.

“Come on! You’ve rejected me everyday this week. Pleeeease?” Jisoo fluttered her eyes and whined.

“Yea, come on! A little fun won’t hurt.” Jaemin joined in.

“I don’t know…”

“Don’t be such a mood killer.” Sian added.

“Fine…where are we going to play?” Aeri gave in.

“How about we go to my place?” Sian suggested.

“That doesn’t sound fun…” Aeri rolled her eyes.

“You haven’t been to Sian’s new place, have you?” Jaemin laughed.

“No...” Aeri shook her head.

“Well then I guess you’re up for a surprise.” Sian turned around and gave Aeri a smirk.

“Why aren’t we taking the main elevator?” Aeri asked.

“I have my own elevator.” Sian chuckled.

“Yea right.” Aeri rolled her eyes at him until she found herself in front of Sian’s very own elevator.

“You’re not joking…you have your own elevator??” Aeri gasped.

Jisoo, Sian and Jaemin laughed.

“You’ve missed out on a lot since you’ve been away.” Sian press
