"Come on minju! Get your lazy up!" Yuna whines, shaking my body. It had been a long day going from one place to another in between traffic and I'm drained. Just like my phone. I should charge it but I'm too tired to even do that.

"It's finally our free time and there's a lot of places to see plus the night market is open and bustling!" I just mumbled my response. I'm not really an adventurous person. The street outside not too far from our hotel is closed down and the once busy street filled with cars is now busy with a crowd of people dancing or going through stalls. Apparently it's the start of the city's festival so starting tonight, for a week, that whole street will be temporarily closed

"Don't you want to know what yedam is doing?" Nice try.

"Probably out with his friends." Namely Jaehyuk, Doyoung, Asahi and seniors Junkyu, Yoshi, Jihoon and Hyunsuk.

"Exactly! Aren't you curious what he's like with friends? Outside of school?" My ears perked up at that. I did wonder if he's the same when he's inside school with his friends.

"Tempting, very tempting." I feel her tugging my arms, "come on~" but I continued to close my eyes

"I promise to roam around with you tomorrow night. Just not today." I'm really tired. Even yedam can't make me be up and about.

"Fine! Just let me borrow your phone then." I mindlessly reached for my pocket to pull out my phone and give it to her but before I handed it I opened my eyes to look at her

"What are you gonna do?"

"I just wanna see our pictures and enhance them. You know me, if only I have my pho-" I tossed my phone to her direction and closed my eyes to sleep.

"Yah if you're gonna sleep, at least change your clothes." I huffed but she does have a point. I sat up and took my sleepwear from my bag which consists of fuzzy shorts and a cropped tee but not so cropped, it covers my tummy just fine but a little movement and a raise of hand could show some skin which is alright considering it's only me and yuna anyway and I'm not going out with my sleepwear. I went inside the washroom to get changed and remembered I literally had like 3% left on my phone so I yelled out "Yuna! Charge my phone! The charger's in the front pocket."

After washing my face and brushing my teeth I went out to find an empty room. I paused from wiping my face when I found a note on the bedside table

"Be back with your phone! Need it incase I get lost, will just look around quickly xoxo" I started palpitating. When did she leave? Did she leave with someone? Did she charge the phone? Did she hear me? She surely checked the battery right?

I paced back and forth and cussed, throwing the towel, grabbing my wallet and running outside with no second thoughts. I only remembered what I'm wearing when the cold wind outside hit me.

I wanted to go back in when I caught sight if that from a distance going to a crowd so I ran after her.

Muttering a couple of sorry's and excuse me's, bumping to people here and there, I kept my sight on her.

"YUNA!" the music was loud but I think she heard me cause she was about to turn my way when some guy ocked my path.

"Uhm, excuse me." I tried to walk past him but he blocks my path.

"What are you in a hurry?" I scrunched my nose from the smell of alcohol and cigarettes that mixed on his breath.

"I'm with my friend." I tiptoed and looked over his shoulder but I don't see yuna anymore. I looked from left to right and I don't see her nor any of my classmates or any familiar face. I gulped but tried to calm down

"Oh, she probably went back to the hotel, if you'll excuse me." I bowed and turned my back on him to retrace my steps back to the hotel but another guy stops me

"Ooh hotel? You're not from here aren't you?" Now I just wanna cry. That's why I don't like crowded places especially with boys and booze. Sure there are some descent guys but there's also always guys like this.

"Yes, I'm here for a field trip." I say, getting pissed. "Now can you let me through, my teacher's looking for me." I try again to move past him but the guy earlier pulled my wrist!

"We just wanna hang out, where's your friend? we should invite her." Ok both stangers know each other, ofcourse they do. I'm cold and I want to get out of here.

"Can you not touch me?" I removed my my wrist from his hand and I don't like that my height is getting swallowed by theirs and our space is getting smaller and smaller, the music is too loud and everyone else is busy partying so if I scream, will they hear me? Will they even care?

"I have a boyfriend!" I boldly declared. They don't have to know I'm pertaining to boys from the mangas I'm reading.

"A boyfriend?" They laughed. Ugh, why do I feel offended?

"You're too innocent to lie, miss, if you have a boyfriend I doubt he'll let you out of his sight-

"She's not." That voice. No matter how loud the music is, his voice always penetrates the unpleasant noises and makes me feel things. Last time I checked I haven't eaten any butterflies.

I feel a tug and I slowly stumble back, I could feel the warmth of his body pressed against my back and the heat from his hand on my hip. "She was never out of my sight."

"My bad." The guy literally raised his hand in surrender

"Let's go babe." He intertwined our handsand pulled me out of the crowd. I followed him silently, just staring at our clasped hands, screaming internally.

Can I ing die now?
