The next morning, they had a light breakfast and then started packing their things and storing them in the truck. When they finished, it was almost lunchtime so they decided to eat at a restaurant in the nearby city. Before they all take the way home. After lunch, A-Ro and Sera gave Emma and Mimi their numbers, «You two need to call us ok.» Sera told them after putting her number in their phone.

«Yes, if we wait for our bf to organize something we could become senile while waiting,» A-Ro said doing the same and hugging them. Emma and Mimi gave theirs to the girls, hugging them back then they parted ways.

The way home seemed shorter than before and, in the blink of an eye, they were already there. When Jimin dropped them off, offered to help bring up the luggage. They were talking cheerfully when Mimi gave out a shriek. Emma ran beside her friend and saw what frightened her. The lock was broken and the door was open. Her friend was in shock and she was trembling in Felix's arms. Jimin called the police.

Half an hour later the police were in the house. «Please tell us what's happened.» Inspector Lee said while Emma was trying to make Jimin reluctantly go home.

«I don't understand why they send an inspector. These things are not that serious anyway.» He said perplexed.

«Maybe they are short on people, so they sent him. Tonight I'll call you ok.»

«Are you trying to make me leave?»

«You're right because you don't need to worry.» pouting cutely.

«You can't always get away doing that,» putting a finger on her pouting lips.

«I love you.» She said kissing him.

«I love you too,» he said kissing her. He was escorted out of the condo by two police officers, and Emma sighed relieved.

Back in the house, Inspector Lee asked «Miss Ralli, I suppose the youngling doesn't know the situation right?» she nodded. «You better tell him, don't you think so?»

«Better not, and anyway next week I will flight back to Italy.»

He dismissed the conversation shaking his head and got to the main point. «Have you seen if something is missing?» Lee was an intimidating presence. He wasn't very tall, but he compensated for it with a muscular body, that was barely fitting in the tight clothes, and sharp eyes. It was around his forty with graying hair

Emma answered first. «My passport and a few belongings.»

«Like...what?»

«A couple of T-shirts and shorts, jeans...» she started thinking.

«Something more?» The man said.

«Also, my hair brush, my toothbrush, and some of my earrings,» Emma concluded.

«And you miss Go, anything missing?»

«My passport too and hgfthhhg.»

«What??? Can you repeat in an audible and comprehensible way please?»

«Some pieces of my BTS collection. Photo cards and poster.» She said embarrassed.

«What? They stole BTS merch, miss! I don't know what utility they have for stealing that.» Officer Han said smirking.

Mimi also frowned. Even she didn't understand why they would take it. «A pair of merch for any members are missing, but I feel there's something more missing but I can't figure it out.»

«I don't really see the need they could have to steal that. But who knows, maybe they're fans!» Han said.

«Miss Ralli, I don't personally think this has anything to do with the case I'm in charge of, but just to be fair I will investigate thoroughly. Regarding her passport, I advise you to go to the embassy first thing in the morning. I'll make the reservation myself so you can go through it right away. For your miss Go when we process the report a new one will be set.» Then standing up for leaving he said. «This is all for today. I needn't tell you to change the door lock, right?»

«You don't have to worry my bf is already gone call the locksmith,» Mimi told the man.

«Miss, another word, in private if possible,» Lee told Emma and she followed him in the hallway. When they were alone, he said, «The man with you earlier was Park Jimin from BTS right?»

«Yes»

«Beware, I know they have sasaeng following them everywhere.»

«I know they told me about them.»

«Sasaeng are obsessive fans. They can be dangerous.»

«You're telling me that this intrusion could be related to them?»

«Yes, so you two really need to be careful.»

«Sure, thanks for telling me.»

«It's my job miss. Good evening.» in that moment Mimi popped out and Lee called her. Mimi followed him.

«Kang was spotted in Seoul the other day as you suspected.» Mimi started shaking, Lee held her hand trying to reassure her he added, «Don't worry we made sure that he was here for work. He left right away. As far as we know he doesn't have a clue about her being here. Please rest assured.»

*****************

Emma watched the trio leave. She was curious about what Lee told her. «What he told you?»

«He told me to look after you.» he didn't tell her but it was what he meant.

«About the Sasaeng, they're really that scary?»

«Really scary, they so obsessed that can do anything. Like, finding your phone number following you all day and night, harassing your family, and many others. They can find everything they want about you. If you ever meet some my advice is to run as fast as you can.»

«Wow, they really have no limits then.» Mimi shook her head.

That night after the door was fixed, the girls decided to sleep together because were scared, so they put the cushions and blankets in the living room.

«It seems like we're doing a pajama party.» The younger girl said.

«I went to one. This is my first.»

«Then I should go prepare some popcorn meanwhile you find something to watch.» From the other room, Mimi added, «Next time we should call also A-Ro and Sera what do you think?»

«Splendid idea. But who knows when I can come back.»

«Right, you need to go back.» She said with a sad tone that was matching her expression.

«Don't be sad, come on it's not the end of the world,» Emma said hugging her. «You can always come to Italy next time, what do you think?»

«I like the idea, even if I prefer for you to stay here.»

«You know it's not possible, not with him on the loose.»

«I know, but if he wasn't here you will stay.» she nodded. «You would be happy, I would be happy and most of all Jimin would be happy.»

«Now stop the sad talk and have fun.» The two of them had a happy time and eventually fell asleep.

The next morning, they woke up late because neither of them wanted to get up, but Emma needed to go to the embassy. At the entrance, there was a guard.

«Buon giorno, sono qui per rifare il passaporto, l'ispettore Lee dovrebbe aver già chiamato (Good morning, I'm here to have a copy of my passport, I believe inspector Lee already called.)» She told the guard.

«Si. Da questa parte prego. (Yes. Please come this way.)» The guard said allowing her inside the embassy.

When she finished all the procedures and was on her way home, she called her friend.

«Mimi, where are you?»

«Unni, sorry. A call from work. I'm in the office right now.»

«Oh, ok. Then I'll head home. We'll see later.»

«Yes, and Unni please be careful.»

«Of what?»

«Of everything.»

«Ok, ok. Just to make you feel comfortable.» She smiled at what her friend said, she sounded almost like her mom when she was still alive.

When she got home there was a pack in front of their door with her name on it. She opened it with a foot. At the sight of the contents of the package, nausea assaulted her.
