Chapter 3 - Poison (act2)

At last

*sigh* "What a rough day, I'm sooo tired"; she realises that her security look was red, which means someone tried breaking into her house. a wave of fear and uneasiness flew through her, her head kept throbbing, she couldn't even hold the door knob, she was just staring at her door feeling numb. Suddenly she heard a voice from behind her saying: "is everything alright you look unease?"

"What did you do, this is called breaking and entering, you know it's illegal right, I'm calling the police"

"woah calm down, i just moved in next door I just finished unpacking, i saw you staring at your door and I wanted to help" the man said

"did you notice anyone who was trying to break in"

"I did see some dude roaming around your house"

"WHAT!!??"

"calm down I chased them away from your house but I think you should change your pin number and update your security lock and if you fear you might forget it just tell it someone you trust and are sure can never blackmail you, someone who helped you a lot before."

"thank you" ....she pressed her security pin, held the door knob ready to step in her house when suddenly,

"I'm Christ by the way"

"huh?" she asked

"I'm Christ I study medicine at Yonsei university, we've met before at campus right?"

"NO!"

He chuckled "Oh um so I''ve seen you a lot before"

"I haven't seen you"

"You are not really social are You?"

"no not really"

"Oh I see, well nice to meet you, Kim min-hye also known as Jane"

"how do you know my name?"

"we've met before, you just forgot me."

"Looking closely I think we've met before"....."but I don't remember you.."

"oh"....

...

....

Suddenly it hit her and she remembered her last neighbour, his name was Bryan, he was my crush back then, but it's all in the past.

"Bryan?"

"Oh uhm I don't go by that name anymore, it's tainted with rumours".....

"ok then" with a huge smile on her face she said "nice to meet you again, christ"

And those words along with that smile made Christ's heart go insane.

The next day she woke up feeling tired as she couldn't sleep last night due to her paranoia. She had this nagging feeling that someone was watching her, despite being tired, she had to go to school. Suddenly she was shaken by someone hammering at her door, she got up in a rush, ran to her kitchen, took a knife and stood in front of the door. Her heath pounding out of her chest, she took her phone, ready to dial 911, when suddenly she heard a familiar voice saying "jane it's me, lane"

"Lane?"

"Lane seo-Jun...."

"Fuck you!"

"I wanted to visit you, so we can walk together to campus."

"Get the fuck outta here"

"I refuse"

"Should i call the corps on you?"

"Come ooonnnn"

"Ugh coming....", she said before opening the door, as soon as she opened the door, she was greeted with a huge and heavy smile from Jun, pushing her to regret opening the door immediately.

He entered her apartment and made himself at home, while Jane went to take a shower. Once she was done, she came out to find Lane going through her childhood pictures. And he asked :"where are you parents"...

Suddenly a wave of rage flew through her, as she kept starring at lane.

Suddenly she heard a knock on her door, and it was moon who wanted Jane to accompany her to campus, ".... let's visit Aiden first-

"Who's Aiden??"

"My boyfriend-

"Let's just go"

....

...

"You know um our criminology professor gave us an assignment"

"Us??"

"Yeah...she asked us to work in pairs to try and find some clues that could help the investigation"

"What investigation?"

"The serial killer in our town"

"Today is Saturday we have English class right"

"Yeah but she's pregnant so we start our investigation today"

...

....- "our???"

"Yeah you are my patner"

Jane rolled her eyes and when she looked up she noticed moon was gone. Turned out she had left when she saw her boyfriend, so that mean that they could start the investigation right away.

"Let's go to a coffee shop I've got a lot of clues" Jane said with a serious

"Me too I've watched a lot of documentaries about this" jun said with a serious face.....

....

"Last time I checked Jane had no friends especially not a boyfriend, guess our little introvert is trying to get out of her self created cage. Has she forgotten all of her past traumas, I cannot allow this to happen"....
