Hyunjin didn't mean to be followed home. It just sort of...happened.
About
Hyunjin is just an average college student, juggling three jobs on the side and struggling to support himself. He honestly had no idea that his life would change so quickly because of one decision to attend a frat party, the consequences showing up in a shiver down his spine and the hallucinated (or not?) footsteps on the street.
Characters
Hyunjin is very passionate about dance, and is very skilled in artistic subjects such as painting or pottery. He can be dramatic, sweet, clumsy, and often gets many compliments about his pretty face and dark silky hair, yet he has a hard time believing them. He despises eggplant, unable to stand even the sight of it. He loves flowers and can sometimes be a hopeless romantic.

The night had barely begun, but the party was in full swing, showing no signs of stopping soon. Practically half the campus was invited, crowds of students spilling out to the patio or the pool in the backyard when the house seemed too full.
The pulsing lights were giving Hyunjin a headache, the booming music rattling around his skull. He almost considered turning right back around and heading out the door, feeling out of his element.

A bone-seeping chill climbed it's way up his back, a sudden uneasiness making his stomach jolt in nausea. His head snapped up, eyes wide, searching, until he found the unwavering gaze that had pierced him from behind.
A girl. A pretty girl.
She was across the room, arms crossed, leaning against the wall in that way people did when they knew they didn't belong in the environment around them. She looked detached, delibrately placed somewhere she did not fit. Hyunjin didn't approach her despite his feet hesitantly shifting in her direction. There was something off, something he couldn't explain...
That same feeling crept up on him in a shudder as he'd walked back home, and he swore he heard someone behind him. He felt safer once he arrived at his apartment, door locked and windows shut. He slumped onto the couch with a soft sigh, unaware those intense eyes had never left...
