"Hyung, I'm going out to the market!" I said preparing my stuff.

"Oh buy me more chips." He raised his hand up, while still looking at the tv.

"Okay!" I opened the door, locking it as I walked out and headed to the market.

After getting all the groceries I needed, I realized that it was already night time. Gosh was I out for that long? Why did the market place had to be so far from the school in the first place! I have so many stuff to carry too! Should a call a cab or something... Shit! I'm out of money though! Ugh!... I sighed at dire situation, I really hate how the market is so far from the campus. Guess I'm walking.

As I kept walking, I felt an eerie atmosphere around me as if I was being followed. I quickly turned around but I didn't see anyone suspicious around the streets. There aren't a lot of people walking around the streets at this hour too, so it shouldn't be to hard to suspect anyone.

"Am I imagining things?" I asked myself but just kept walking. But, again, I got that feeling of someone following me. I walked a bit slowly at first and averted my eyes a bit to the side. That's when a I noticed a black hooded person stopped walking behind me. Maybe I'm just overreacting but when I reached a stop light, he stopped behind me.

Okay, okay, calm down Jimin. Maybe he's just lazy to press the button... When the light became green, the person started walking at the same time with me. Okay, I decided to walk around in circles and back to this stop light. That's when I was confident he was following me, because we are back at the stop light. I don't think the person noticed the same stop light or the fact that I literally went one circle around with him.

Should I make a run for it? But it will make it obvious! Should I just shout for help? Shit, there aren't anyone near the streets at the moment and the neighborhood might not have enough time to react!... I was panicking, my mind was block. I couldn't think of a solution. Then I realized I was walking into an empty alleyway which is usually the short cut I take from the market back to my dorm.

Ugh! Me and my force of habits! Why do you fail me now!?... I was groaning in pain.

I kept walking anyways and I could feel the person's foot step getting closer. It was really scaring me! When we were almost deeper into the alleyway, I made a panicked moved and turned around, positioning myself in a way to defend myself with the heavy bag of groceries I had! But when I turned around the alleyway was empty...

"Maybe I was just imagining thing..." I sighed in relief. But that relief was short lived because when I turned around someone grabbed me from the back and covered my mouth, dragging me with him into a dead end corner on the alleyway. I struggled, trying to get out of his grip but the person was far too strong.

"I finally got you, my precious Jimin..." The person whispered with his deep voice.

At this point I was at the verge of tears, I couldn't escape but I didn't want to give up. So I bit one of his fingers, making him scream in pain and release his grip from me. That's when I had the chance to escape and screamed for help.

"HELP! ANYONE, HELP-"

I was cut off by the man who covered my mouth again and grip me even more tightly than before.
