KANG POV
Hearing the crowd of fans chanting Jang soo's name really got me rethinking my life. See if I just so happen to walk up to this man I could get jumped by a group of people at a time and that will be the death of me for real this time. How would I-
"You again," a voice as clear as day huffs at me while I stared down at the ground trying to weigh my options by counting my fingers. "You really are a stalker aren't you?"
"Hush I'm thinking," I hold my hand out shooing whoever away, and end up double-tapping their face. I felt no need to apologize as they were too close to me anyway but not once did I think to look up.
As I finish talking I hear the person smack their lips like they were annoyed by me and finally I meet eye to eye with someone I was looking for all along, Jang soo.
"Did you just hit me?"
"Did I," my voice goes up to a squeal almost "I didn't mean to do that"
"So you are apologizing to me," his face almost breaks into a smile.
"Yeah right, you ran into my hand. Why was your face so close to me anyway?" Oh yeah, I am supposed to be nice. Life is going to have me in a headlock if I can't get him to this restaurant.
"I don't even know why I'm talking to you," he begins to turn away, and my stomach drops. I felt as if I was about to throw up. I needed him to stay but if I acted as if I was a fan all of a sudden he would just walk away faster. He doesn't give a shit about his fans.
"Go to dinner with me," I yell and immediately shut my mouth. Like what? That kinda sounded as if I asked him to dinner. But it did get him to turn around.
"What," his full attention was on me a tomato paste boy with his face buried in his hands terrified that I looked like a clown.
"I want to have dinner with you what do you say-"
"No the fuck," his face balls up to a sour expression as he looks at me sideways. I had to commit to something and wasn't going to be a relationship so it might as well be this.
"Come on Jango say I swear it would be fun and who knows I might even apologize to you"
"Who the fuck is Jango say?"
Shit, I said the wrong name again. Did I forget his name? It took me forever to think he was relevant enough to remember his name.
"Fuck off," he snares and I look around just scanning the area.
"Look man it was a joke of course I know your name," maybe if I play my cards right I could get him to show up. "You know you are a very famous person why wouldn't I remember your name. In fact, I love your name I even named my cat after you."
"You don't have a cat"
"How do you know that," he takes a step back not saying a word. "Regardless since I thought you were such a cool person I wanted to have dinner with you to repay you for just being you but instead I realized that you are very dull and I would have more fun eating alone." Please please work I have no more ideas. I look away from him hoping he stops me before I walked off.
"Yeah whatever text me the location," he mumbles like I have his damn number. I'm not a mind reader what the fuck am I supposed to text, the air.
"And your number is," I take my phone out of my back pocket and he snatches it from me right as I pulled up the phone icon. He was tapping so hard I thought by the time I got my phone back it would have a crack.
"Here," he shoves it back at me, "Just text me the address I don't like you so don't make useless conversation."
"Like hell, I would. I have a life just come to dinner that's all I need you for," I turn around and walk away as he just stared at me with his icy dark soulless eyes. I bet it matched his heart.
As soon as I got back to my room and settled in I text Jang soo the address and tell him to be present by 5 on the dot as he was known for always being an hour late. But I just had to lay down on my bed. Today was giving me a headache and the pressure of saving a life was physically draining as I lay my head down just for a quick nap is what I told myself.
RING RING
'Did I cut on an alarm?' I yawn looking around for my phone that was buried somewhere underneath my blanket but I couldn't find it no matter I many times I patted around for it. I stand to my feet digging through the covers to where I hear the ring of my phone and it stops as I panic flipping the blanket up and hearing something fall with a thump to the ground.
Luckily it wasn't broken as it began to ring and picking it up it was none other than Jang soo himself.
"Hello?"
"Where the hell are you?" he starts to yell and I hear the frustration in his voice. "You told me to be here by 5 and it is literally 5:30 where the fuck are you?"
"Oh my bad I fell asleep that's my fault," I lick my lips to keep my laughter in check. "I'll be right there so don't go anywhere-" the phone hangs up and I begin to panic grabbing the first thing I saw which was just random clothes on the floor before throwing them on and running out the house. If he left I would be sitting alone trying to come up with an excuse of why Kim so-ae should stay with me so I could walk her to safety.
I was running the whole mile off campus to the place and I'm glad I didn't pick a further restaurant before entering and seeing a guy sitting near the window at the back. He was wearing brown from top to bottom with glasses and appeared to look young but old at the same time.
I told Jang soo to sit near the back so as I walk up and look around for him the guy in brown finally turns around. "Jang soo? Dang what happened to you?"
"Shut up it took me forever to pick this out," he rolls his eyes and I sit on the opposite side of him behind the table. "Next time try harder," I reply and his eyes widen.
"What did you want anyway I don't plan on staying long," he looks down at his watch that wasn't even ticking. He didn't have anything to do he just wanted to act cool but the thing is I didn't really have anything to say to him. Dang! Brain think!
"Omg," Kim so-ae walks in and practically runs to the back knocking me over to sit next to me and stare at Jang soo. She looked nicer than before as if she was dressed to impress with her hair slicked back into a pony with a nice red cropped shirt and skirt and gold jewelry.
"I thought Kang was lying when he said he could get you here," she blurts out making Jang soo glare down at me while I slowly die inside. He seemed very pissed and ready to leave maybe I should apologize.
"Who are you," she asked sitting back in his seat as she leaned forward. "I'm just a fan, I'm sorry if I'm bothering you"
"No-no, not at all you look very lovely today," he puts on a smile before glaring back at me as I get the feeling that he wasn't gonna let me talk. His plan was very clear. He wanted to isolate me.
As they enjoy their conversation I pull out my phone and realize I have to stay here for a good 5 hours as it would finally be 10 and I could get her home safely. I open up my text messages on my phone and see that Tae had begun texting in the group chat with Yori.
"Hey guys," Tae types with Yori following up with an additional hey that makes me huff rolling my eyes and mumbling to myself and the table gets silent looking over at me.
"What? Don't you have something to do other than stare," I glance up from my phone and look back down just for another message to appear targeted at me?
"Kang please tell me what I did wrong I want to be best friends again," Tae texts as I grin.
"I told you not to worry about it," I send, "Its nothing I still love you- you will always have a special place in my heart," he is probably crying right about now as he can be very sensitive but I was only joking. He is my best friend but sometimes you need to teach them their place.
He knew I had a crush on Yori for years and even when I ask about it he wants to lie. I might just keep teasing him until I don't feel like it anymore. Though I don't really care anymore I stopped liking Yori a long time ago.
"So Kang," I hear my name and I look back up, "Do you have a girlfriend," Jang soo asked and I roll my eyes.
"Nope they are a waste of time"
"But you told me that you liked me," Kim so-ae jumps in and I look at her trying to hold back the urge to yell.
"I had my reasons. If you thought I was serious about liking you when I don't even know you- you are very mistaken," I look back at my phone just scrolling through random text from Dal sending me pictures of him in the gym and it made me realize that I needed to get stronger.
"You didn't have to be rude about it," Jang soo says, "she was just repeating what you told her," like I give a shit. I don't care if she was a tape recorder she don't need to quote me.
"Sorry about that Kim right?"
"You are so weird you invite me here just so I could spend time with my idol are you trying to be a off-brand Santa," and with that it was 10.
"Oh look at the time we have been here for 5 hours and haven't ate shit I'm ready to go," I bump into her and she scoots out of the sit. "Let's all walk back to campus together. I'm tired."
As soon as I stand up my nose begins to leek and a loud pitch whistle noise played in my ears before I almost drop to the ground.
"Hey your nose is bleeding are you okay?" I nod as it stops and Jang soo grabs a handful of napkins off the table before he rushes me out of the building. "You really need to be careful if you have health problems," Kim so-ae brings up and the thing is I don't have health problems.
I feel like I didn't stop the attack I just made another victim and it kinda started to way on me. If it's not Kim so-ae it could be anyone and the killer is just going around killing. "I should have just followed her," I think to myself as I walk faster, "Then called the police and everything would have solved itself, Damn I'm so stupid."
I spend up some more and bump into someone making me swing around. "Sorry," I say and all he does under his hood was smile and I see it. The same crooked yellow teeth. My head begins to spin before I hit the ground.
