AERUM'S POV

Two days and everything has been going too well, more than it should be. Every time something good happened, my doubts only rose furthermore. My life had never been perfect.

I had my happy times and my misfortunes. But this time, the smiles lasted longer. Was it just me or was Mari a girl you'd only see in fantasies, an imaginary world, a dream?

Maybe it was just me being protective as a sister should be, but I couldn't help but feel happy around her at the same time. She was similar to Tae in many ways, maybe that's the reason why he fell for her in the first place.

Either way, I was sure happy for him.

The music soon changed to the next one on my play list. Take Your Knife Out Of My Back, I sang along with it as I walked through the narrow pavement to my house.

I was only half a street away, the street lights were bright and lit the path. As I got closer I could see someone, looked like the guy was trying to break in. After a few seconds I realised that it was my house he was in front of.

I hid around a bench and used the bushes to cover me. He turned around as he suspected a sound and that only made me bite my knuckles.

A dead branch on the other side caught my attention, I grabbed it and ran in full speed behind the person. He heard me and turned around, I nabbed him just in time. He struggled to get out of my grip, I didn't care about judging at this moment, but this guy could've been an actual intruder.

He had a hoodie on and a mask to cover his face upto his nose. It was the way that he stared at me. I couldn't get it about his eyes, except that they seemed awfully familiar. He was only as tall as I was.

And the sad part was I only knew one person like that. My grip on him loosened as I was getting filled up with confusion.

His eyes started glimmering as he stared back at me.

"J-Jimin?" I asked.

The next moment he aggressively pulled out of my hold. Pushed me and ran away. I wanted to get him again, pull down his mask and ask him what he was doing here.

Why would he do something like that?

My body had a sudden jerk on its own as I felt myself getting paranoid. What if he wasn't Jimin? And if it was then why was he here?

A killer? or Jimin? My head started to hurt as I just made my way into the place.

Ara still wasn't here and thank God for that.

As I got in, I made sure to lock the door tight. The first thing I did was make myself a good meal. Soon after, wasting my time with unnecessary business and then getting ready for bed.

I could still feel my heart racing as the image of the guy interrupted my thoughts again. Lazily I tried shrugging it off.

"Next!"

The lady behind the counter called out and I stood up front. She took my order down and I waited at the other side of the line.

Within few minutes, I was ready to leave the cafe.

I took a sip off the cup and my eyes met with those I was already familiar with.

This time his eyes were more clearer to me, upto the point where I didn't want to believe it anymore. I walked to him until he nudged a waiter and the waiter dropped the food he was holding on a tray.

Within seconds it was a ruckus.

I somehow manged to get through the little crowd he formed so easily. He speed walked and immediately started running when I got out.

"Jimin, stop!" I shout at him as I increase my pace. My feet starting to hurt but I kept running after him.

He turned to a side walk and I just lost him like that. It was a second ago that I saw him. My frustration got the best of me and I scrunched up my clothes and continued to brush my fingers through my hair.

As soon as I got home I texted Jimin. My curiosity, rose to a whole another level. Why was I like this? An intruder that seemingly resembles a good friend of mine. And I surprisingly encounter the same person right the next day.

I waited all night, hoping to hear some notification. The only ones I got were from Tae and my mom that night.

Jimin never texted back, and somehow this little thing cleared my misconceptions. In a way I was sure to tell that Jimin was trying for something hiding up his sleeve.

But at the same time I had a feeling it couldn't be him.

I hope the first thought was wrong.
