Alice is a police dispatcher for a quiet city. Not much goes on where she lives. Most of her shifts are during the night, the graveyard shift. With this job, you have to deal with pressure and have a lot of patience. She receives a few weird calls b...
I closed the door behind me quickly. I didn't think twice to look back to Jungkook's place. I rushed down the stairs as if something was chasing me. I exited out the complex building rushing to my car.
As soon as I got in, I placed my hands on the steering wheel. I took a deep breath, trying to contemplate what was going on.
Did I see what I saw? Or is my mind playing tricks on me?
I shake my head, trying to calm myself down. I start the car and I use my right hand to adjust my mirror. When I do, I jump.
A set of eyes?!
I look back to the back seat to see nothing was there. I look back to the mirror to see that I was just spooking myself.
I then start to laugh nervously.
"Let's just go home to Alice."

I use my keys to unlock my apartment door. As I enter, I could smell something delicious Alice was cooking up. She hasn't noticed that I came back yet. I stay in place looking at her.
She's calmly humming while she's cooking. She looks so peaceful and so beautiful. I then start to think about how we became a thing in high school.
Do I really deserve her? Even after...?
Never mind. I knew her first and she's with me now.
I then start to walk towards her, taking slow steps. A smile grew on my face as I look at her from behind. She then turns around slowly, having curiosity in her eyes. She then forms a smile slowly as she notices its me.
As I get closer to her, I open my arms to give her a hug.
I hug her tightly and she seemed surprise at it.
We pulled away and she gives me a look of confusion.
"Jin, why did you hug me so tightly?"
"I just miss you."
She chuckles and replies,
"Jin, you saw me this morning."
"I know, I can't miss you?"
She then smiles and looks back to her cooking.
"Food is almost ready. Why don't you get comfortable and change?"
As I was about to say something, I look to the clock on the oven.
The numbers were changing rapidly.
It then stopped at 7:47.
Huh? It's not even the evening yet.
I then look towards our clock hanging on the wall.
The minute and hour hands start to move.
Again, 7:47.
I then realize why.
My gut starts to feel heavy. I start to feel something watching me at all corners.
"Jin?"
I turn back to Alice.
"Yeah?"
"You going to get ready?"
I then looked back quickly to the clock and the oven. It went back to normal.
"Oh yeah, babe. How was the thing with that lady? You know, Jungkook's mom?"
My heart starts to race and I tap my fingers on the side of my legs.
"Uh, nothing. I couldn't do anything. I'm not hungry babe. Save it for work alright? I'm heading to bed."
I then rush towards my room without even taking a look at Alice.
