'Ring! Ring! Wake up... Wake up--- Time for school'
The sound of my alarm and its loud retorts woke me up from my heavy sleep.
My thoughts were all over the place, and it took me a moment to remember the events of last night that led me to a feverish slumber.
Oh HELL NO!---
SH*T!
I quickly raised the blanket and checked my body. Thank goodness my clothes were still on and I wasn't naked. I didn't feel any sort of changes in my body either which meant that I wasn't harmed in any way.
Then I checked my room to see whether there was any sign of that devil. Thankfully, he was nowhere to be seen. I could finally take in a breath of relief because there was no threat insight.
I was so lucky to escape the dangerous situation yesterday and it was all thanks to my inexperience of course. Was Rowoon really in my room? Did he really kiss me again? Was he truly thinking of taking things far than just a kiss?!!!
"You shameless jerk!" I screamed, my cheeks puffing madly with anger.
'Wake up! Wake up!' the alarm sang again.
"I'm awake! Quit being so annoying!" I yelled and slid the On switch of my alarm to Off before getting down from the bed. I felt very lightheaded and slightly feverish. I could feel my body heating up as I walked slowly toward the bathroom. I almost stumbled a few times but I managed to reach the door and unlock it.
As I entered the bathroom, I froze. There on the surface of the mirror were the words 'THIS IS NOT THE END LITTLE RABBIT' written in red fat serial killer letters.
It was Rowoon marking his territory and letting me know that he was still a threat to my life. His name echoed in my mind like a dangerous hurricane circling over and over till my whole body crashed onto the floor. So, that is what happened. I let myself sink down onto the bathroom floor. I got down on my knees like a wilted flower and hugged myself. I didn't cry tho. It was pure anger that I felt... a fit of ferocious anger towards a single person who made my life miserable and messed up. I hated him. I hated him for kissing me. I hated him for touching me and making me feel things that were dangerous. I could still remember the way he kissed me, the way his fingers brushed my skin. The way his body moved on top of mine.
"Stop it Yunseo. Stop thinking about it!" I scolded myself, hoping that my mind will stay focused and not wander along the heated path of passion. 'Passion' what a strong word one might say. As for me, not only is this word strong, but it is also very perilous, dangerous, and evil. I never wanted to deal with that dangerous sentiment and I never will.
I had to get Rowoon away from me. I had to stay away from him by whatever means possible. Only then will I be free from his yandere tricks.
I had to make a strong plan and in order to do that, I had to be strong as well. So I stood up and dusted off my wrinkled clothes. With my head held up high, I headed off to my closet and pulled out a huge hoodie and a bucket hat along with a new pair of sneakers and pants. I changed myself into the new clothes and looked around for my bag. I was running late to college so I quickly gathered up my books and left the apartment. Honestly, right now, staying in my apartment was the most dangerous thing in my life. The sooner I was away from it, the better.
As I walked down the stairs of my apartment building, I could feel a slight fever burning up in me. It was because I got wet in the rain yesterday and couldn't even dry myself because of that jerk. But as of now, the fever was the least of my concerns.
I pulled up my hoodie and turned on my AirPods, trying to lose myself in the rhythm of the music. Hopefully, nobody would be able to recognize me with my hoodie and bucket hat. I hoped that Rowoon will be unable to even see a glimpse of my face.
I stepped into the crowd of people and blended with them, trying to seem normal and less freaked out. But that was when Jisoo called me on my phone, her voice literally making me yell with angst.
"Yunseo! Bae Bae, something tragic has happened!" as usual, Jisoo annoyingly screamed as if her life depended on it.
"Stop screaming Jisoo. How many times have I told you not to shout into the phone? Do you want me to undergo ear surgery?" I didn't sound very sarcastic because my mood was not good.
"And before you talk about some annoying singer, I have to tell you this. I have a stalker now and in fact, no place is safe for me...even my own apartment. I gotta find a new apartment today and probably find a good pepper spray and a taser. My life is a total mess!" I didn't tell her it was Rowoon tho. If I did, she would practically flip out. I fought the urge to tell her that the idol she actually worships like some saint is a crazy lunatic. A crazy lunatic who is also a yandere stalker. But why me tho? Of all the people living out there, why did I have to be the victim?
Rowoon is rich, popular, and powerful. He could have anybody with just a flick of his finger. So why is he trying to drag me into his messed-up games? Me: a nobody...a college junior who is trying to live an innocent life. Of course, I couldn't tell Jisoo any of this. I couldn't vent out my depressing emotions by talking to her about all this. I was not in a position to do that. She would think I was crazy or might even think that it was a funny plan of mine to make her hate Rowoon. I believe nobody in this whole wide world knows about the dark side of LEE ROWOON. And they would never believe any of the truth.
"Dude! Are you serious? See I told you that pretty face of yours will get you into trouble someday. Oh Bae Bae, is he hot? Omg! I'm so jealous!" Jisoo's flirtatious voice only made me angrier. Oh if only I could tell her that the stalker was Rowoon: the sexy king of idols Rowoon, who is also the most psychotic man of the century.
"This is no time for jokes okay? You know what, I'm hanging up. Why can't you take me seriously?"
"Okay okay, hold up! We'll help you find an apartment. And Eunbi and I will protect you. We'll be your knights in shining armor sweetie.
But anyway, you gotta listen to what I have to say as well. This is urgent and I'll make this very quick cas I gotta hang up soon. We're not gonna come to college. We're actually on our way to the airport. Rowoon and his group are leaving Korea today and they're gonna be on a two-week tour in China. So I gotta go now cas I can't miss them and I need to get good photos. Bye bro...let's figure everything out when we get back okay? We're always there for you hon. Okay bye now!---"
And just like that, she ended the call, screaming partway in the end. But what caught me off-guard was the fact that Rowoon was on tour. And he was leaving Korea today? So then, he actually tried to spend the night with me before leaving. WHAT??! Somehow, his actions felt very intimate and possessive. I mean it's not like he would actually miss me and we barely know each other. Maybe his crazy brain was cooking up weird ideas and maybe he was too horny. I don't know...something just felt very off about this whole scenario and I didn't like it.
2 weeks. 2 weeks for me to figure out a way to fix everything and hide from him. I told myself that everything will be fine. I would be free and safe for two weeks. I mean, he would even forget about me as if I never even existed.
But that one creepy note kept repeating over and over in my head, filling me with a lot of fear and pain like a freshly cut wound, dripping with scarlet blood.
'THIS IS NOT THE END LITTLE RABBIT.'
