Being Followed [2]

A spike of panic went through Moon Jiwoo, and her nerves simmered at the thought of being followed. However, she did not let that translate into an expression upon her face.

"Let's go separate ways then," Jiwoo spoke out.

"What are you talking about?" he questioned, raising one of his eyebrows.

"What I mean is there are no way those people will be following me. It makes sense for them to follow a thief like you, and since I don't want to be involved in your troubles, I will be heading away first," Jiwoo said.

However, before she was able to precede him, he grabbed on to her wrist, and pulling her back, he expressed, "How are you so sure that they are following me? You could be their target as well, and didn't you say that you are here to protect me?"

"That's right," she mumbled before a sigh left her mouth.

"Since this is important, I suppose I can't abandon you here," she added.
