The Star In The Midnight Rain - Chapter 22 Trick In The Rain

I was woken up by my alarm.

Right after I woke up, I took a shower and got ready for work. I took out a mini yogurt and a plastic spoon.

When I was about to get in my car. Someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and saw him.

“What’s up?” I said.

“I will drop you off, for your safety,” He said.

“No it’s fine,” I said.

I opened the door and he closed it.

I looked at him with anger.

“Look I don’t even know you. Can you leave me alone?”

“Last night it was late so I let you stay,” I said.

I then opened the door and got inside my car. He looked at me in shock.

I drove to work. But I felt something wasn’t right. I thought of Ji-Wook again, and I started crying. Why did he play me like that? I stop can’t think of the past. But I have to move on.

I turned the car around and drove back home. He was still there. I ran to him and hugged him.

“Why do I always run away?” I said.

He hugged me back.

“Don’t leave me like them, please,” I said.

Why was I acting like this? Is this what happens when someone cares for you? No one has ever cared for me.

Like he has.

“I won’t leave you,” He said. I then got in his car, and he drove me to work.

“You’re wearing a suit, are you a CEO or something?” I asked him.

“No, I am a Prosecutor,” He said.

I nodded.

“You’re dressed like a teacher for a police officer,” He said.

I laughed. “What’s so bad?” I said.

I was wearing a trench coat, a whiter shirt with jeans. For footwear, I was wearing converse.

“Ah I see now,” I said. He then smiled.

“I didn’t catch your name?” I said.

“Park Hae-Jin,” He said.

“Nice to meet you, oh I am Oh Chae-young but you can call me Jen,” I said.

We then talked and got to know each other. By the time he dropped me off at work, it felt like I had known him for years.

When I got to work I was in a good mood.

Kassy came to me and hugged me.

“You’re alive,” She said.

My team had surrounded me.

“Thanks, but I called you last night,” I said.

“I know I was just checking,” She said.

I smiled at her.

“Did you just smile,” said Min-Jun.

Everyone looked at me shocked.

“Stop looking at me like that,” I said.

They did and we got back to work. I took out my yogurt and ate it while typing.

By 1:30 p.m. it was lunchtime.

“Hey, Sora is here to have lunch with you,” said Min-Jun.

I nodded and left.

“Hey,” She said.

“What’s up,” I said.

“Nothing much, and you,” She said.

“Same as you but why did you drive all the way here?” I asked.

“I took a day off,” She said.

I nodded. She took out food and we ate together while talking. Then I saw a man kidnapping a girl. I ran to them. Sora got the girl and the man ran.

I ran after him. I ran the fastest I could. Then I caught him.

While huffing for breath I put his hand behind his back.

After an hour of questioning him.

All he said was “This is nothing, just you wait. 2 block to the left of me.”

I tried to think and find out what he was trying to say. I looked at my watch.

“Oh no, I am late,” I said.

I took my stuff and called a cab. It then dropped me off at Hae-Jin’s workplace. I walked in and asked for him at the reception. They told me to wait at the lounge.

I waited and in about 16 minutes he came out. But he was with a girl.

“Come on just go on a date with me already,” She was saying to him.

When he got to the reception, the receptionist pointed me out. I was reading the news.

He tapped my shoulder and I flinched.

“Are you done?” I asked and he nodded.

I then looked at the girl. She was giving me a salty look. I then flipped my hair and winked at her.

She rolled her eyes, and I was laughing.

“Why are you laughing?” He asked me.

“No reason,” I said.

We drove home and when we got outside it started raining.

I stopped in the rain and thought of what the kidnapper had said.

“You coming?” He said.

It then clicked my mind.

I started running.

Left of me was a street not far from where I lived.

As I ran Hae-Jin came after me. I then stopped and looked around 2 blocks. I saw a cafe called 2 blocks. I looked up and it was dark. I went to the alley and climbed up.

“Oh my god,” I said.

There were about forty or so children.

I ran back to the front. I asked the cafe worker how to get to the top. She said, “There is a stairway there.” I nodded and thanked her.

I ran up to the stairway and saw a door that was locked.

“Shit,” I said.

Hae-Jin came in.

“What was that?” He said.

I took a pin from my hair and unlocked it. I ran up the stairs and saw the children.

Then a boy around 14 came to me and said “Please leave.”

I looked at him and he had a bomb on him. I gasped.

I took out my phone and gave it to Hae-Jin.

“Call an ID that says Smart Idiot,” I said.

He called Chan-Woo.

“Hello?” He answered and said.

“Bro a 345-G bomb,” I said.

“How many minutes left?” He said.

“2 minutes and 40 seconds,” I said.

“How many cords?” He asked.

“Seven in rainbow color in rainbow order,” I said.

“All right,” He said.

I then looked at it closely and saw it.

“Blue,” we both said together.

I cut the blue one and it stopped.

I sighed. The police came and the kids were free. Hae-Jin then said, “I wanna look cool as well.”

I laughed and he back hugged me.

“I am glad your okay,” He said.
