Runaway
Beautiful Stranger
Taemin closes the door and breathes heavily. Leaning on the door, he looks as he was just chased by someone.
“Taemin?” I look up from the tv. “Are you ok?” I walk towards him.
“Did you tell someone I was here?” he asks, as if hiding from something or someone.
I shake my head, confused. “No...? Why do you ask?”
He exhales and then wraps his arms around me. “You have to promise me something.”
“What?”
“Promise you won’t tell anyone I was here. Please,” he looks at me with desperate eyes.
“Why?” I ask, confused and curious.
“Just do it for me, please. I have to go, but I’ll be back,” he kisses me softly and then leaves out of the door from which he came.
“Umm...ok?” I brush my fingers across my lips and then walk back towards the living room when someone pounds on the door. “Coming!”
I open the door to see Jonghyun and Minho at the door, clad in white.
“Oh hey. Is everything ok?”
“Did someone come around here?” Minho asks.
“...” I wonder whether I should lie for him or not. “Umm...”
“Zara, please. If you don’t tell us, something bad could happen,” Minho says, with pleading eyes as Jonghyun nods, his eyes even more pleading.
I bite my lip, nodding. “Yeah.”
“How long ago was he here?”
“He just left a few seconds ago. I’m surprised you didn’t see him.”
Jonghyun curses under his breath and Minho sighs. “Thank you,” he hugs me and then closes the door urgently.
“Umm...would someone care to explain?”
