Chapter 121 - Locked (1/2)

Since Jinhee was sitting at the farthest corner of the library, the sounds from other parts did not

Finishing up the last topic, Jinhee closed her book and let out an exhausted yawn. Looking up, she noticed that the time was 21:13 on the clock.

Growing surprised, Jinhee stood up, causing for her chair to screech back. As she was deeply immersed in her studies, she did not notice that it was this late until now.

It was way past the time one can spend in the library, and she was required to be at the dorm at this moment or else she could get in serious trouble.

"Weird," Jinhee voiced out, "The librarian should have called me."

Wearing her bag, Jinhee walked towards the librarian's desk and was surprised. There was no one there, which left Jinhee wondering on where she could be.

Stepping towards the door, Jinhee decided to leave. The dorm teacher will be checking the rooms at 21:30, and if she hurried up now, she can make her way towards her dorm room.

Turning the knob, Jinhee pulled the door towards her in order to open it. However, her attempts remained unsuccessful.

Not giving up, Jinhee tried to open the door again, and this time she used more force. Nonetheless, even this time, it was to no avail.

Realizing that she was locked inside the library, Jinhee's eyes widened, and knocking on the door harshly, she prayed for someone to come.

"Is anyone there? Please help!" Jinhee yelled.

Jinhee continued to scream until her throat was dry and she couldn't continue further. Nevertheless, there was no reply to her calls of help.

It was not the fact that she was scared of staying alone at the library; It was because she was afraid of what drama will be created regarding her at the dorm.

That's when the lights started to blink, and Jinhee raised her head to look at ceiling. In that instant, the lights went off, and Jinhee's eyes widened.

Although Jinhee was not terrified of staying alone, it was a different matter when it came to being in a dark room all by herself.

Immediately, she opened her bag and tried to search for her to mobile phone. However, she couldn't find her mobile phone in the bag.

Her mind went into the state of panic as she mumbled, "Maybe I have kept it on the table at where I was studying."

Closing her bag and wearing it again, Jinhee walked towards the book whilst moving both of her hands around to feel the objects around her.

As she stood in front of the book, she slowly and carefully moved in order to not bump into the huge bookshelf and make it fall on her.

Jinhee let out a yelp when she felt a little animal— most probably the cat that stayed at the library— leaped on her feet.
