CHAPTER 23

"You're back already?"

You stared at you mother as she gazed at you with a smile, your head tilting slightly as you gazed at her in confusion.

"Yeah?" You answered in a more questioning tone.

"I thought you were going to stay over Mira's for a week to study for that practice test your teacher was giving."

You pulled out your phone and checked your messaging app to see that 'you' had text your mother about studying at Mira's and sleeping over so she wouldn't worry about you missing.

"The test was cancelled so I thought I should just come back home." You reasoned and she nodded before moving her focus back on the television.

'Samuel must have sent the text.'

How the hell did he know about Mira?

A shiver ran down your spine as you thought of extenct he must have taken to find all information about you.

You couldn't help but glance out of the window by the front door, your mind making you assume Samuel was following you behind in a black car taking pictures of your every move.

'I've taken care of him. He won't come after me now.'

You walked upstairs and went to your room, letting out a groan as you laid down on your bed, your body feeling sore.

"Being a main character is a pain."

Literally.

You knew that up next was club Vivi and you were going to get involved one way or another but before that,

You wanted to go on vacation.

"I need to take a break."

You used your phone to google vacation spots near Seoul since you couldn't really travel that far but as you were searching, you suddenly received a text from Gun making you raise a brow.

'Meet me outside your house for a fight.'

You made an annoyed look and pressed the phone icon to call him.

"What?" He asked as soon as he picked up.

"I was just kidnapped for three days. I'm not fighting you."

Gun didn't expect to hear that from you but decided to hang up making you look at your phone in disbelief.

You turned on your side while letting out a huff, muttering about Gun being a heartless asshole until your bedroom door knocked.

"Come in."

To your surprise, it was Gun who your mother had let in without a problem.

"You look like shit." He commented as he strolled over to sit next to your lying form on the bed and you rolled your eyes.

"Thanks, I guess."

You covered your arm with your eyes as you released a sigh.

"So, which idiot wanted to kidnap you?"

You took offence to his words and made an attempt to kick him but he easily caught your leg while smirking at you.

"Samuel did."

That took him by surprise and his hold around your ankle loosened, allowing it to fall back onto the bed.

"Why the fuck did he do that for?"

You noticed Gun was pissed over what you had told him and you blinked in surprise.

"It's a long story and I can't be bothered to go over it."
