POV Switch
I sat on the couch and gave a sigh before resting my cheek in the palm of my hand. The moment that I had been pointed out I was overflowed with questions. Who was I? What was my name? Where did I come from? How did I get there? How did I get the app? Who was unknown? I tried my best to explain who I was and the fact that I had been just as clueless as them. Although I did have to admit that it was amusing to watch them all bounce from topic to topic, occasionally forgetting I was there before having to be reminded to focus on the situation.
I shifted awkwardly in my seat before looking around. I had noticed the camera in the hall earlier that day. The sight of it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, worried that the owner could see me. Then I was told that the apartment belonged to a girl named Rika. Someone who had been dear to them all before she passed. It just didn't feel right to be here. I felt as if I was disturbing her peace.
[I'll call V and explain everything.]
My eyes grazed over Seven's photo beside his message. I couldn't stop the bubble of laughter as he continued to try to type with one hand, completely forgetting the spaces in-between the words.
[Wait until you're done calling to type.] Yoosung demanded.
[Lookedintotheownerofthedevice]
My brows furred in confusion. He did what?
[she'scutelol]
A light blush covered my cheeks. Then the realization of his words hit me.
[You did a background check on me!]
He seemed to ignore me and continued to dodge the subject. From there it seemed to spiral into something I could barely grasp. Then as quickly as it all started it seemed to end. Idea's of me being chosen by Rika were thrown out there, which somehow led to me agreeing to taking her place. I wasn't to touch anything vital, which I wouldn't have done anyways. I could come and go as I pleased however it was more preferred that I stayed in the apartment so Seven could keep an eye on me with this so called 'hacker' out and about.
I sighed as I stood, taking my bag with me.
I'd sleep in my own place since I didn't want to disrupt anything in Rika's apartment. But I'd come here whenever I was open. I'd use it like an office so to say. That way the group could be at ease.
Just as I grabbed the door handle I looked up at the camera. I stood, wondering what in the world Eun had been up to today. I chuckled at the thought of telling her what had just happened. Then I opened the door and stepped into the hall, not realizing that I had just stepped into something so much more.
A few days had passed since I had joined the RFA and each day I had followed my routine. Wake up, go to school, go to the apartment for the rest of the day doing homework and planning for the party before leaving to go home late at night only to repeat.
As I stepped outside I felt my phone ring in my bag. My heart leaped and I dug for it hoping it wasn't another text from Unknown. My shoulders instantly fell in relief as I read Seven's name on the screen.
" Hello?" I asked as I looked both ways before darting across the crosswalk.
" Did you eat dinner yet? You know three meals are crucial to your health and well being."
The corners of my lips turned up. " Jumin?" I joked.
" Your trial version of Jumin Han's voice service has expired. What a shame. From now on, you will be charged one Honey Buddha Chip bag every ten seconds. Do you wish to continue?"
" No! No! Bring 707!"
His laughter rung through the phone, almost making me freeze where I stood. A car honked, apparently not liking how fast I was moving. I rushed to jump to the other end of the cross walk before feeling them zip past me in anger.
" Anyways, I'm glad to see you're doing well. Is everything okay at the apartment?"
I flipped the driver off as he sped away in anger.
" Apartment, yes. But I think I should be more worried about walking to it and not getting hit instead."
He let out another small chuckle. Whatever anger I felt was quickly washed away from the sound of it. His easy going and dorky personality seemed to quickly calm my nerves. It wasn't something that I found normal but I didn't dare to question it. I wasn't brave enough to.
He continued to talk to me as I made my way through the streets. The entire time I didn't find myself bored in the slightest. Then again I never found myself bored talking to someone from the RFA. Especially when it came to Jumin and Zen. Those two seemed to just be after one another constantly. Though I did tend to try to break it up, I'd be lying if I said that I'd didn't crack a smile in the process.
The walk from school to the apartment was 30 minutes. 30 minutes that I had spent talking to Seven, laughing and joking around. Although I couldn't help but wonder about him joking about being a secret agent and constantly working. A part of me couldn't him but be curious what exactly it was that he did. Yet something told me to bite my tongue. It wasn't the time to ask, not now.
" More work just came up so I have to go. Thank you so so much for joining the RFA! Have a good evening. Talk to you later! Meow~"
I shook my head slightly before wishing him luck. Then when I glanced up I had already found myself at the apartment door. Was I already here? Wow time had flown.
I entered the code and stepped inside. There I sat down at the table and pulled out my laptop and binder. I'd finish homework then I'd work on the details for the party. Just one thing at a time. That's all I had to do. My fingers picked up my pencil but it never hit the paper. Instead I looked up at the camera. I had only known the RFA for a few simple days. Yet they had already become apart of my everyday routine. I couldn't let them down. I couldn't and I wouldn't.
