Chapter 26: The One

Y/N's POV

"No-"

I was taken away from the main street and ended up to an alley that I didn't know. I wanted to squeal but I cannot since the latter might stab me any minute. I decided to obey.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Hush. No need to be scared, it's just me.", the girl's voice that I knew.

"Mina?"

"Yeah. Whatever happens, just don't look at the back and don't ever run."

Mina is the one who took me with her. Our feet were walking in synchronization. I don't know where Mina is taking me but I know she has a reason to do so. I looked at my watch, 5:36. I didn't even notice we were walking for a long time. Suddenly, there wasn't anyone following us anymore.

"Huh?", it was time for me to turn back and when I looked in front of me, there's a police station over there. "What just happened?"

"Those creeps wouldn't just leave you, huh?", Mina finally took off her mask to breathe properly from exhaustion.

"How did you know that I was being followed?", that made my heart beat crazy.

"I didn't. I just saw you while roaming around. I followed the one who was following you. I had to keep you safe so I walked the other way where I could meet you halfway to take him to stay away from you. He didn't stop, so I had no choice but to walk to the street near the police station. That worked."

"Who is he?"

"The same person who was mad at you for last time.", Mina's brows furrowed. "Speaking of, we need to talk about this to the police then we could have a breakfast-"

Breakfast with Mina? Again, the time. It's 5:53. I will transform soon. I'd like to, but I can't.

"I'm sorry, Mina.", I took off her hands. "I really have to go home."

"I cannot let you go like this."

Nayeon's POV

Ouch! I felt uneasy for a moment. I rolled over my phone. Time to go back to sleep again. Why can't I sleep again if I'm still very sleepy?! I opened my phone and opened Y/N's message immediately.

Y/N: Nayeon, I think someone's following me.

Someone's following me? What she messaged me was like caffeine that made me abruptly wake up. No one's around yet so I walked fast outside not minding if I'm wearing pajamas and even if I hadn't brought my mask with me.

"Where could you be?"

Twisted my neck here, there, and over there. She's not here. I ran and ran and I was glad that the sunrise is starting to show up to make me easily find her. I also felt uneasy cause any moment from now, she would transform. The one who took her away from me will be grievously beaten.

"I cannot let you go like this.", isn't that Mina's voice? "You are in danger. Are you just going to let it slide? Besides, the sun is rising, we should have breakfast."

Who is Mina talking to? Where's that voice coming from? I never thought that Mina would be waking up this early.

"Mina, someone's waiting for me. I need to go."
