lee harufinding you
when i reach the station
it's awfully silenti pull the dark hood of my parka over my head
grab my backpack
and anything of value from the backseat
just in case the car gets inspectedi parked it quite a distance away
so i doubt people might find it suspiciousi head out into the dark of the night
pondering as i take my careful steps
towards the back of the station
no one spots me yeti finally end up hiding behind a wall
in the back of the station
where there's a narrow alleyway
i peek out to see a group of three cops
typically eating donuts
it's ridiculous how much this
seems like a movie
and i'm the part of the main cast
as the character that screws up the mostwhen i'm sure that they're distracted
i try to find a way inside
through a door in the back
but there's got to be camerasshit, this is stupid
i'm trying to break into a police station
without getting caught
a police station for goodness' sakesuddenly there's a commotion
happening from the front of the station
and i hear the sirens of the police cars
and some struggled shouting of a man
definitely not jeonggukthe cops with the donuts seem to be alerted
because they're rushing to check it out
and i take the golden opportunity to sneak out
and try my chances with the back doorbut the universe
just has to
mess with me
at that exact moment
screw you milky way"hey! freeze!"
i purse my lips together tightly
slowly turning around with my hands held up
the man is pointing a torch at me
and a baton in another hand
my eyes trail down to the gun in his beltno way i'm taking my chances anymore
so i do the only thing i can think of in my
logical rational mind: run
and again, for the second time in my trip
from the freaking copsi hear the quickening footsteps chasing after me
and duck in another alleyway
right behind some dumpsterscome on, haru, think
what's your plan b?
i don't have a plan b"come out! i know you're there"
the man's voice rings through the alleyway
and the light from his torch
nearly exposes my hiding spot
when there's another chaotic scene
from inside the station
where people are running around and shouting
about someone trying to escapesomeone trying to escape...
someone is trying to escape!the man hesitates
between waiting for me to come out
and going in to help with the mess
he eventually decides on the latter
because next thing i know
he's muttering something under his breath
and turning around on his heelsi release the huff of breath i didn't realise
i've been holding
and the shouts from inside get louder
as if the cops are panickingand then the chaos flows outside
"go after him!"
that better be you jeon jeongguk
i adjust the hoodie on my head and peek out
making sure i'm in the clear before dashing
out of the alleyway
but not before someone grabs me
by my shoulders
roughly, i may add
and shoves me behind a wallthank the heavens for god's mercy tonight
"pinky?
what in heaven's name are you doing here
you should've gone without me""i fucking hate you" i say as i stare into
jeongguk's waverung eyeshe flinches a little
and i realise that this is the first time
i've thrown in such harsh words into my sentence
"h-hey don't curse"at this point do i still care?
"you idiot
did you know how much i was
struggling to find you?
did you know how lost i was?
if you do this to me again
i don't know if this whole thing is going to work—"he cuts me off by pulling me into a tight hug
and i instantly melt in his warm embrace"i'm sorry" he whispers apologetically
"it's going to work, i promise"i break down into quiet sobs in his chest
and he shushes me gently
"h-how did you g-get out?""it's me, i can do anything"
he chuckles softly as he pats my head
"and i wasn't about to let you go alone
we said we'd do this together didn't we?"i nod slowly
and he pulls back with a smile
"let's go before we get caught
alright?"he takes me by the hand
and i hear the cops coming after us from behindhe tells me to trust him
but by the time we get to the car
the cops are already surrounding it
carefully inspecting the strange vehiclelooks like my senses were right
jeongguk does the only thing he can think of:
he messes up the wires of an unlocked car
somehow gets the engine to start
(because jeon jeongguk manages to do
literally, everything. or maybe its just google)
and tells me to get inthe shouts of the cops grow softer and softer
and we drive further away
until they're all gone
and we're back off to where we were"thank you" jeongguk says softly
"for coming back"
