It was an unusual silent night, it had turned dark quicker than before and to top it off the weather had been quite shitty too, constant rain. Something Jihyun definitely wasn't fond of but she had to deal with it. It was around 11PM as she walked through the streets, completely soaked by all the rain and lost. She had desperately trying to find her way back, but as it turned darker and darker she only got more and more lost. It wasn't helping that the battery of her phone died, it didn't make her feel very comfortable either as she was someone to get scared in the dark easily.
She finished whatever she had to do quite early, around eight, however she had decided to just go out and explore the still unknown city, maybe get something to eat in a nice place. She enjoyed walking around all by herself, normally she wouldn't have done it but as her job required her to discuss something with the author of the book she had to edit, she didn't have much of a choice but visit that person. She took the taxi to where she had to go, deciding that would be the best knowing that she would probably get lost if she had to drive there all by herself. Yet she still ended up getting lost, as after she had eaten something and had walked around for quite a while, she ended up somehow in a quite dark place, nearly deserted you could say.
It had been at least an hour if not longer that she had been aimlessly wandering around, trying to find her way back but for some reason everything looked the same, it being dark didn't help either. She would get scared by every little sound, every moving thing, even though most of it was because of the wind or occasionally a cat passing by. She had started out trying to shield herself from the rain but eventually gave up on that since she was already soaked. And even though any contact with strangers would make her feel uncomfortable, she decided to just go to the first person she would find, asking for directions or perhaps if they knew any hotels nearby so she could take a warm bath, rest a little and then go home.
When after quite a while her eyes fell on a figure, she couldn't see what that person looked like but she didn't even hesitate anymore and went straight up to whoever that was -- something she normally wouldn't even think about doing. Her mind was so fixed on going home so she could stop shivering and stop being scared, that she just went straight out and tapped the person's shoulder. 'Excuse me?' she asked, it being obvious in the tone of her voice that she was freezing and desperate for help.
