(!TW!: Stalking, Kidnapping)

I stared at the screen in the darkness. The screen glowed blue light as I pondered. Who was sending these messages? No, more importantly, how’d they get my number? Perhaps through a friend? Or another member of the group? Being an Idol, I’m used to seeing messages from fans. Sometimes they’d be daily affirmations, simple compliments, or requests on makeup tutorials. But these…These were weirder than usual. “You’re beautiful, but I want your beautiful face all to myself…Nobody else can have you.” I’d stare at the screen, unsure of how to respond as I felt the color draining from my face. As one would do in this situation, I go to block them. Then I receive another message. “Block me, and your precious idol group will be down a member.” How did they know I was going to- I stopped and turned to the window behind me, my pillows and blankets shuffling as I did such. Nobody was there. Not that I saw, at least. I couldn’t move. A crushing pressure stood on my chest. What was I to do? I couldn’t contact anyone, they’d go after that person. Could I call the police? Would that put my life in danger? The weight of these decisions made it feel as though I were crushed by a pile of bricks. My breathing began to grow uncontrollably heavy as I considered the options, sweat dripping down my forehead, the room suddenly feeling hotter than before. Shakily, I stepped out of bed and walked to the kitchen to see if there was anything there that might calm me down. I lean down and open the fridge. A few yogurts here or there, a bag of grapes among other fruits and vegetables. A case of my favorite soda sat in one of the drawers in the bottom of the fridge. I sigh and grab a can. Soon after, I received a message from the stalker once more. “That’s my favorite too. Gosh, we have so much in common. Like a match made in heaven…” I shook my head and closed the fridge.

“You’re a lot prettier in person, Eigakan…” I heard a voice say from behind me.

The figure had stepped be and covered my mouth with is hands…That’s the last I remember before everything faded to black.
