Chapter 23: Deja Vu

“Se Ri-noona, are you ready?”

I nod to Ju Meok once with a firm gaze, prepared for the battlefield. My boot creates a soft thud as it kisses the ground while I come out of the car. One, two, three, four thuds and I’m in my full glory, bask under the heat of the sun. With my black high waist slim fit jogger cargo and white tight fitted top, I feel like Lara Croft on a mission.

Putting my shades on, I push a strand of hair behind my ears, my hair hanging at my back in a ponytail. This is my first time so I better look good and equipped.

But ugh, my back still aches.

On the opposite side of the road, Jeong Hyeok emerges from a black car I saw for the first time. Leaving early in the morning, he left a note saying that the police officers will come and fetch me. He wears a gray polo over a black shirt and pants paired with a cap. He always looks refreshing in my eyes. Not gonna lie.
