TW: As**lt

Jungsu was being followed a lot lately. But it wasn't simply one person. It was three people, and they were all female. Jungsu didn't understand what their purpose was, but after finding his personal belongings slightly shifted from their position, Jungsu knew that it couldn't be anything good.

They had been inside his house. Multiple times at that. But there was nothing that Jungsu could do except try to secure his apartment better. But even then, there were only so many ways he could secure his living space without harming the other party. And Jungsu still wasn't sure if they were simple civilians or had some other malicious intent.

Today was a rather lazy day for him, as he had only gotten up to do his daily exercises and then went right back to his sofa to watch more episodes of Double Shift. Though he felt weird looking at himself on the screen, he also needed to know how he was being portrayed to the world around him.

Jungsu munched on a carrot as he ate his breakfast in front of the TV screen. There, he spotted himself on the TV screen and his eyes narrowed. He felt detached as he saw himself posing for the camera.

He closed his eyes then, feeling embarrassment crawl up his neck. If anyone saw him now all flustered... he would have to kill them.

Jungsu vowed to himself to never watch anything he was in if he didn't have to.

Swallowing a breath, he opened his eyes again and tried to assess himself through the eyes of a viewer. Jungsu still didn't understand why the editing team had insisted on editing him so heavily. He watched in bafflement as petals were falling in the frame while the video was slowed, dragging the moment as Jungsu leaned against the chair and blinked his eyes in slow motion.

Jungsu kept staring at the screen, trying hard to detach, yet his jaw ticked as he couldn't hold it anymore. Picking up the remote, he closed the TV, and sat still, staring at the black screen. He did a couple deep breathing exercises before he sensed something amiss.

He moved once he heard light footsteps and then a knock at the door. Swinging the door open, he stared down at the girl who was looking up at him with wide eyes and an open mouth.

His eyebrows raised in question as he looked down at the girl.

"Wow! I can't believe this! They were right! Oh my god! You live here!" She squealed as she started breathing quicker.

"And who told you about my whereabouts?" Jungsu narrowed his eyes at the teen who was fanning her face as she looked up at him.

"The internet!" She shouted at his face in joy, while Jungsu looked at her as if she was crazy.

"The user pinklemon_5 was the one who said that you'd be here!" She breathed as she stepped closer to him.

Jungsu inched back as he was unsure of how to handle the situation now that he knew they were simply people who knew Jungsu. Still, he didn't understand why they had to follow him to his home.

"And how did this... pinklemon_5 know where I live?" He said as he slowly attempted to shut the door.

The girl wedged herself in between the closing door and Jungsu's body as she desperately moved closer.

"She's been in here! Can I come in? If she can come I should be able to as well, right?" The girl grinned up at him and Jungsu's brows pulled down as he was confused about what to do in the situation. He couldn't simply remove her by force. In fact, Jungsu didn't think it was a good idea to touch her at all. He watched in bafflement as the girl allowed herself inside and sat down on his sofa, not once removing her eyes from him.

Picking up his phone from the counter, he kept his eyes on the girl who smiled widely as she looked at him.

"You really shouldn't be here." He said. "It's best for you to leave without me having to call someone." He tilted his head as he tried to convince her as gently as possible.

"Your house is so empty! It seems like you, but also not! I know there's so much more to you, Oppa!" She giggled as her knees bounced up and down on the sofa.

"Where's your violin? Do you not keep one in the house?" She got up in search as Jungsu quickly texted Officer Hyun-su about the situation.

The door was still wide open, and Jungsu left it that way as he didn't want to be arrested for the confinement of a minor.

Officer Hyun-su had yet to respond to him, so, sucking his pride, Jungsu texted Investigator Ara.

"I think the others should be outside now." She pouted, and Jungsu's head jerked towards her. He stayed still for a moment before moving into action.

Jungsu quickly flung on a coat as he exited through the open door. He heard the girl calling after him as she followed behind him, however, Jungsu was too fast for her to keep up. He raced down the stairs as he wondered why he was hearing a crowd of people outside.

As he stepped outside the building, that was when he heard the screams intensify. Looking around, he searched for any potential hazards or threats. His assessment only lasted about two seconds before he realized that the crowd was quickly approaching him.

His eyes widened as the crowd moved towards him and Jungsu tried maneuvering around the girls to escape. But it wasn't long before he was blocked from all angles. Jungsu kept his head down as he tried moving through them in order to get away from the area of infestation. Because that was what it seemed to him at the moment.

He didn't even understand what this many people were doing in front of his building. A lot of them were holding onto their phones, trying to capture his face as they hadn't yet dared to get too close to him.

That changed quickly however when a flash went off right into his eyes the moment Jungsu lifted his head to search for an exit. Jungsu closed his eyes tightly, blinking hard against the harsh light. That was when he felt bodies coming closer, hands grabbing at him as he tried shaking them off.

He didn't know what to do as he'd never felt so helpless. There were ways to escape, of course, however, if he wished to live in peace, it would be best not to even touch a woman given that there were multiple cameras pointed at him. Despite him being a spy, there are very limited things he would be able to do in a crowd of girls without injuring any of them. Even if he touched any one of them, there were so many of them that Jungsu didn't think he'd be able to get out.

And so, Jungsu endured the touches and the bodies that were far too close to him for comfort. They screamed his name as Jungsu slowly pushed through them, grabbing his arms and back as if they hoped to keep a piece of him for themselves.

Jungsu's coat had long since fallen off him under the hands of the crowds, but he kept moving forward. Now he could feel the chill of the approaching winter season biting into his skin as he stood in only a sweatshirt.

"Jungsu! I love you!"

"Oppa, marry me!"

Their screams sounded by his ears and Jungsu's eyes widened further and further as he heard other shocking words directed at him.

His breath was coming in faster as he felt them all closing in on him even more, their hands pulling at his arms and sweatshirt. He heard a tearing sound and glanced down to see that they had successfully managed to tear his sweatshirt. And of course, he had not bothered wearing a shirt underneath.

At that moment, they all seemed to go crazy, as they pulled at Jungsu even harder than before. Jungsu wrenched his arms from them and kept moving, finally finding an opening not too far in front of him. As he fought his way through the throng, without actually fighting, he was grabbed from behind. He felt hands, more than two pairs on his stomach. Shuddering, he pulled away quickly. Despite the crowd's effort to keep him subdued, he managed to pull away from them, grabbing onto the torn edges of his sweatshirt as he felt someone leverage their weight against his shoulders from behind and then felt a sharp sting on his neck. He felt sick to his stomach as he realized someone had bitten him.

He finally cut through the crowd, finding a crevice as he dove down and moved through the crowd, sweeping his knees over the ground.

Then, he broke out into a sprint.

There was only one destination he could hope to find safety from the crowd.

He was going to have to find Officer Hyun-su.
