Chapter 5

            “May I propose to you…that maybe…they’re a bunch of crazies?”

            Hyoyeon sighed at Sunny’s words as they flagged down a cab.  They quickly got in and told the driver where to go.  Before Hyoyeon could even reply to Sunny, her unnie was expanding her wild theory.

            “Perhaps they’re simply sasaeng fans,” Sunny suggested, her eyes still wide and full of wonder.  “We shouldn’t have made contact with them.  Now they’ll think their fantasy is real.  Maybe we should call the police.”

            “Unnie,” Hyoyeon interrupted wearily.  “Maybe you’re right.  Maybe they are crazy.  But they saved my life.  Don’t you think that counts for something?”

            Sunny gave a shameful frown.  “Hyoyeon, I’m so happy they saved you, honest.  Even though I have my doubts about them…I’m grateful for them.”

            “And that’s perfectly fine,” Hyoyeon smiled.  “I have my doubts too.  But let’s honor their request.  Let’s keep this secret between you and me.  If they turn out to be sasaeng fans that kidnap us, we can do something about it.”
