I close my eyes trying to focus.
Kihyun: Shit?
He chuckles in disbelief.
Kihyun: I see.
He gets up and throws on his shirt.
Me: Wait.
I bite my lip being insanely clueless on what to tell him before I get up as well following him outside the room.
Me: Babe, listen.
Kihyun: Why? I saw what I saw.
I grab him by his arm tightly.
Me: Please.
We look deeply into each other's eyes.
Me: Let me explain.
Kihyun: Fine. Explain.
I swallow before I speak up again.
Me: This-
I point out my screen.
Me: Is not what it looks like right now.
He scoffs.
Me: No, really! It's not.
I run my hand through my hair.
Me: Okay...
I take a breath nodding to myself.
Me: Okay, listen. This is an unknown number that keeps on texting me weird stuff. The person behind the screen might be a maniac that stalks me and tries to fuck up my life.
He frowns at me.
Me: You know I would never lie to you, Kihyun.
I begin to tear up when he still won't say anything back.
Me: Believe me, please. This person knows everything I do, they see everything I see and they- they know where I am and when. I couldn't tell any of you because they count my sins and every time I disobey they harm you, they kill you!
I'm panting from all the anxiety that has built up inside of me. Staring right at him I just hope so badly he's gonna hug me and say it's gonna be alright. But that's just the reality I'd like to live.
Kihyun: So that means you know who my kidnapper is? You know Wonho's killer?!
I'm trembling. Hearing his name still drives me crazy.
Kihyun: Got nothing to say? So am I right?
