Chapter 6: Lotte World Part 2

The exit was just a few feet away. Hae Rin was ahead of me. Dang, she runs so fast!
“Hae Rin-ah! Wait!” I yelled for her.
I can still hear the people running after me. Damn these bastards.
When I got out from the horror mansion, there was a huge crowd and some girls that loooked like they were fighting. I noticed a blonde haired girl. The other girls were yelling at her. I walked closer, blending in with the crowd.
The girls were about to punch Hae Rin, but they missed. Hae Rin stood there, waiting for the next attack. But she turned around.
“Hey, don’t you dare turn your back on me.” The other girl said.
I asked one of the watchers what happened.
“Hae Rin accidentally bumped into them. I wanted to help, but there were paparazzis. I’m just waiting for the right timing.” I turned around and found Jay-hyung.
“I have a plan.” It was Jo Kwon now. “The second they do something to her, for sure people will find out. I called the others to have the car ready. And Chansung, grab her and run towards the gate. Jay and I will follow you.”
I nodded. These two are really fit to be the leaders. They really care about us. “Thanks, hyungs. I’m counting on you.”
Just then, the girl yelling grabbed Hae Rin’s wig, causing her hair to fall. A surprised look went to the girl’s face. “It’s you!” She said.
I started running towards her and grabbed her hand. “Run,and don’t look back.”
We got out and left Lotte World. I guess we’re gonna hit the headlines again tomorrow. My phone vibrated and I received a text from my old schoolmate about what happened minutes later.
Hae Rin was breathing heavily by my side. I took her hand.
“Are you okay?” I asked her. She nodded. But I know that she isn’t.
After a few seconds, I felt her head on my arms. She fell asleep, and I noticed tears from her eyes.
Why is she crying? Was it really that scary? I feel like… From all of this, I might lose her. And I don’t want that.
I looked out the car window, and took her hand in mine.
We didn’t go back to the JYPE building, since we know that reporters are still swarming the place.
