The unknown girl. | Adeline Lorraine

An unfamiliar face, one that you hadn’t seen in all your years of living in this small town. Not only unfamiliar, but unusual—the bright red of her eyes shone under the dim light of the bar she leaned against. You wondered why anyone would come here wearing red contacts of all things, or come here in general. No one ever moved here, everyone was always longing to leave this town where everyone knew each other, where nothing good ever occurred. This town that tourists avoided, that everyone in South Korea avoided—this haunted town that you grew up in. You usually never came to places like these, never liking the loud music nor the sweaty bodies that would come into contact with you. But today was your birthday, and your friends had dragged you out of your apartment, forcing you to go out clubbing with them. Usually you'd deny them, but tonight they had been much more insistent and you eventually caved.

"Who is she? I’ve never seen her before." You elbowed your friend, gesturing your head towards the unfamiliar girl. Her friend, Sienna, responded with a shrug of her shoulders. She had never seen this girl, never in this club and never out of this club. "Why? Wanna take her home?" Sienna teased. When you didn't respond, only flushed and widened your eyes. "Actually?!" With this newfound information she rushed over to her other friends and relayed the information.

They all started cheering, Eve pushing you in the girl's direction, knowing you'd never make a move. Much to your luck, Eve's push had been hard enough to send you falling over in front of her. The mysterious girl, seeing this quickly reached out and caught you in her arms.

"Falling for me already?" She asked, a cheeky smile spread on her beautiful face. You couldn't help but take a moment to roam your eyes over her face, taking in her beauty.
