「𝗧𝗘𝗡」

And just like that, the week went by like a flash.

Jaeyun and I met up sometimes in the library just to chill or study. Honestly, it was always him who begged me to hang out with him but I couldn't seem to escape his presence.

Throughout the week, the unknown number was sending me more and more messages.

At first I thought it was just a silly one-time thing but it turned out that the person had no life and responsibilities to take care of.

Unknown

Unknown: I see you.

Unknown: You tried to block me?

Currently, I was waiting in my dorm for another message of the unknown number. I got back from dinner before and now staring at my phone, I found it weird that the person stopped contacting me even though it probably was the best that way.

Of course, I tried to block them but no matter who many times I tried it, it didn't work out and I was slowly starting to become crazy.

I was so happy that I finished all of my assignments and now there was nothing standing between me and the break that was about to occur.

I thought.

Of course then, I received the long awaited message from that unknown number.

Unknown

Unknown: Open the door.

What? I sat there, my heart beating like crazy while I could do nothing but freeze.

Should I open the door?

In case it was a murderer, I could just scream and my dorm mates would definitely hear and help me.

I decided to get a knife from my kitchen and slid it under my sleeve so that I could imperceptibly stab the person in case I needed to.

I turned my lights off and slowly walked to my door without making any noise but with a beating heart that was about to explode at any second.

I approached the door and started touching the door handle. Oh God, I don't think I can do this.

No, you can do this, Yera. There's nothing to be scared of. I decided to gather all my courage and open the door.

As I was screaming while opening it completely, shutting my eyes tight and trying to defend myself with my hands, I grabbed the knife that was hidden in my sleeve.

Suddenly, I felt myself getting pushed back into my dorm and my back meeting the wall as someone was pressing me on it.

"Don't hurt me, get away," I yelled, not being able to see who it was due to the darkness that was reigning in the room.

"What the fuck? What happened to you?" I heard a familiar voice asking me with a puzzled tone.

My eyes started adjusting to the darkness and I finally saw who was pinning me against the wall.
