Chapter 17:Regret
Rara is waiting by Jaeyun's bike in the parking lot. He is yet to catch up.
She feels a gaze on her. And it was definitely not Jake.
A tall guy dressed in black,his hoodie pulled up is taking steps towards her. Her heart picks up pulse.
She dials Jake.
(Jake's POV)
Jake picks up the call even though he is on his way to the parking lot underground.
"Yeah Rara,I am on my way." He says immediately after picking up,but the the other line remains silent for a few moments before the call gets cut.
"Did she hang up on me? Huh..."however he senses something off. She either would have chided him for being late or would have 'hmm'ed.
Something was off. He rushes to the parking lot.
He spots her there and sighs in relief. However there is this one guy in the black hoodie,talking to her. She clearly doesn't know him,and doesn't know what to do.
"Who is that bastard?" He angrily runs over to save her from the stranger.

(Rara's POV)
"Jaeyun...pick up please..."she silently prays as the black hoodie guy closes in.
Just as she hears him pick up and call out her name,her battery dies. Her despair and fear grow.
The guy is a few steps away when she yells.
"Stop! Don't you dare come any closer, I have the police one call with me already! Don't you dare!" She bluffs,yes. But it is needed to protect yourself.
The guy however lets out a surprised yelp.
"The POLICE?? But why noona?!"
"Noona?" Rara finds the voice quite young and baby like. The owner of the voice pulls down his hoodie and he is a sweet looking boy,even though he has a frightened expression.
"I didn't do anything! Don't arrest me!" He cries and raises his hands up.
Rara is confused.
"Wait. Who are you?" She asks.
"My name is Riki. I just happened to attend today's event for my sister and I saw your dance,so I just wanted to ask you something...please don't arrest me!" He raps it out fast,still looking absolutely terrified.
"Ohh...I see...."she realises it's just a harmless sweet fellow.
"But what were you doing here,creeping out with that black hoodie,you scared me!" She said.
"Oh..."he seemed to only then realised he looked like the spy in an among us game creeping round the airship.
"I am so sorry,this is how I usually dress...I didn't realise I would scare you..." He sincerely apologises.
He was quite younger than her so she smiled.
"No, don't worry. You did nothing wrong."she tells him.
"What about the police?" He points to her phone and asks in a terrified fashion.
"Aah...no, don't worry about that.."she nods.
"So anyways,what were you going to ask?" She tries to make him relax by changing the topic.
"Ahh that... actually...."he awkwardly blushes.
He takes in a deep breath and exhales,trying to gather the courage to tell her.
She looks at him eagerly.
"Noona! Do you have a boyfriend?" He blurts out,surprising her.
"Uh? So suddenly?" She doesn't know what to say.
"Noona! I wanted to confess that when I saw you dance tonight,you stole my heart."he shyly mutters.
"How old are you Riki?" She asks him with a smile.
"19,but it doesn't matter noona! I will take care of you!" He nods his head sincerely,Rara couldn't help but giggle at the young boy.
"Ohh...what to do...I unfortunately do have a boyfriend..."she shrugs with a smile while he pouts.
"Oh...who is it?"he mutters
Meanwhile, Jake the SuperBoy barges in to 'SAVE' her.
He comes in between Riki and Rara,separating them.
"Rara! You are okay right? Nothing happened to you?!"he takes her face in his hands looking into her eyes,with a lot of concern,making Rara go pink.
"Yeah...I am alright..."she slowly nods,making him sigh in relief.
"And you? Who are you?" Jake says to the stranger.
He angrily turns to Riki,and is about to grab him by the collar when Rara holds him back.
"Jaeyun ah! It's not what you are thinking! He is just a sweet kid! " She hugs him from the back to stop him,making an electricity run through his body,which momentarily halted halted muscle function.
Riki jealously watched Jake's face turn a bright red shade while Rara held on to him.
"So this is your boyfriend....tsk tsk...what a pity...you are way too good for him noona." Riki sassily says,making Rara chuckle and Jake's eyes go wide.
"I know right Riki, I am too good for him." She laughs.
"Yah! What's wrong with me? I am handsome,smart,athletic. What more do you need from me?" He looks highly offended.
"Umm...let's see...maybe some ethics!" She makes his eyebrows raise in shock.
"Yeah,you should know how to behave with people. You cannot just grab anyone by the collar."she straight up says,embarassing him.
In their bickering,they actually forgot to mention that Jaeyun was not even her boyfriend in the first place.
Just then another girl comes by.
"Riki!" She calls out to him.
"Noona?" He sighs.
"Ah,so that must be his sister." Rara understood. She recognized her to be one of the foreign exchange student in the dance department.
"I am so sorry Sunbae,was my little brother disturbing you?" She says in a worried tone.
"No-Yes" Rara looks angrily at Jake who nods. She punches him in the shoulder.
"Not at all,we just had a small misunderstanding,that's it. Don't worry about it." She smiles back.
"Aah,I am so sorry,this kid..."his sister smacks his head just like sisters do.
"We will get going Sunbae!" The girl named Ni-Ko bows and drags away Riki.
"See you again noona!" He waves.
"See you again Riki!" She chuckles at the sweet boy.
Jake rolls his eyes and gets on his bike.
"Are you going to stand there all day long? Get on."He coolly says.
Rara promptly gets on.
"Yah...I am really tired,let's go home fast okay?" She buries her face into his back as she hugged him.
With her touch,Jaeyun tensed up. Electricity spread through his veins. His pulse picked up as the blood rushed to his cheeks.
"What is happening to me?" He shakes his head vigorously and starts driving.
The night sky is pretty as they drove through the familiar lane home.
"We have been together for so many years,but this is probably the first time I am driving her home."Jake realises he never even offered to drop her home all these years.
And now even if he wants to,he won't get the chance anyway.
There was a lot of regret in him.
"If I did drive her home back then,would I have felt what I am feeling now? If I did,would we all be in a different place now?"
