<strong>Jeong Soo-Jin</strong><br/><strong>Location</strong>: Jeong household<br/><strong>Tag</strong>: Maggie<br/><hr/><br/>The unsettling feeling crawling over Jin's flesh only grew worse the more that she listened to Maggie talk. "Wait, I don't think- " she realized that the call had been cut off before she could respond, which was highly annoying. Why would Maggie even bother calling at all if she was just going to hang up on her like that? And what the heck kind of stupid idea was it to go wandering to school of all placed at this time of night for no logical reason?<br/><br/>School...that's where Jin was in her dream, or<em>dreams</em>, rather. Another coincidence...she spent probably at least half of her time there, so it was only natural that she'd dream about it. That wasn't important, anyways. What was important was that Maggie was going to be going there by herself, and Jin somehow felt responsible because she knew about it. Internally, she debated whether she should do something. She had no good reason for wanting to leave the house, it could be dangerous, but then again there was still that feeling nagging at her, almost compelling her to do so.<br/><br/>What really tipped Jin over the edge, however, was imagining what she'd feel like if she just did nothing and went back to bed, and then tomorrow she heard that Maggie had gone missing or that something terrible had happened to her. How would she be able to live with herself?<em>But what to do?</em>. She thought about alerting the police, telling them that Maggie had tried to run away from home or something and that she knew where to find her, but that seemed extreme.<br/><br/><em>Gosh, why did she have to hang up...</em>Jin complained to herself as she pulled on a pair of jeans. She left her room and prepared to sneak back downstairs, pausing once she got close to her parents' room. Should she risk checking? Something inside was telling her yes.<em>It's silly, though, I know they're right there, and they're going to get upset that I was up this late and woke them and then I won't be able to go help Maggie.</em>Having talked herself out of it, Jin made her way down the stairs gingerly, put her shoes on and then left through the sliding doors in the kitchen because the front door was heavy and impossible to close properly without making a very loud thud.<br/><br/>Getting to the school would have been much quicker if Jin could take her bike, but unfortunately it was stored in the garage, so there was no way of bringing it out without making a ton of noise. She'd have to walk, but it wasn't all that far at least, and she was pretty sure that Maggie lived even further away, so she'd most likely arrive first. Waiting wasn't really her cup of tea, but at least that way she could be sure that Maggue hadn't already come and gone and that she'd missed her.<br/><br/>Jin didn't see anyone out and about while she walked, but that was to be expected, since there typically weren't a whole bunch of pedestrians running around the suburbs at half past midnight on a weekday. She didn't really think anything of it, although it was a little bizarre how not a single house in the whole neighborhood seemed to have any lights on inside. Even this late, she still would have expected to see at least a couple here and there from some nightowls.<br/><br/>When she arrived at school, there was nobody there either, obviously. Growing impatient after a few minutes, Jin pulled her phone out of her pocket and tried calling back the number from which Maggie had called her, but she just got a message about that user being unable to answer the phone, like it had been turned off. Regretting that she hadn't thought to bring a cardigan or sweater or jacket, she rubbed her arms while pacing around in front of the school's main entrance, hoping that Maggie would show up soon and that nobody else would see her.<br/><br/><em>Come on, where are you...?</em>
