Intruders

---

Lily, who had been unable to contact Jey all day, was already in her best friend's penthouse thanks to the spare key in her hand, feeling restless and worried.

It was already midnight, but the owner of the penthouse was still not visible. Lily put some trackers on Jey's purse, jewelry, cell phone, and shoes. But that day, not a single tracker was used by Jey. Lily cannot contact Jey's cellphone since noon.

Heard about the leaks of information that afternoon made Lily overwhelmed with anxiety and endless fear. She began to think about the worst possible outcomes for her best friend. Not having the patience to wait any longer, Lily decided to move the team to find her best friend.

But before Lily could send her orders, she heard the sound of a password tick on Jey's penthouse door. Lily, with a feeling of anxiety and on guard, hid behind the living room wall.

Click.

The door was closed. The entrance lights turned on automatically, but there was no movement from someone or people who entered the penthouse. Lily, with faint steps, moved from her hiding, ready to attack if someone intruded into her friend's private place.

But when Lily was within reach of the automatic light sensor in the front door hallway and with both hands ready to launch her fists, Lily found Jey standing still with a blank stare. Jey has no expression on her face, only blush color on her entire face and her ears.

"Je-Jey? Jejey!" yell Lily, relieved. Her fear and worry just disappeared to find her best friend in front of her, standing intact and looking without the slightest hurt.

Hearing someone calling her, Jey turned her head slowly towards the source of the voice. Jey found Lily, who was standing with a slightly pale face and a face full of concern. Jey slowly woke up from whatever was on her mind and looked at Lily with full attention.

"Lily?" mumbled Jey softly.

"You don't know your best friend anymore after missing all day? Yes, it's me, your silly," replied Lily sarcastically as she rolled her eyes, prompting Jey to walk into the living room.

"Lil..." repeated Jey in a voice louder than before.

Seeing Jey's very unusual behavior, Lily returned to focus her attention on her best friend. She walked over to Jey, holding Jey's shoulders while checking from head to toe, rotating the girl's body, making sure she did not miss a single spot.

"What's wrong? Are you okay? Where did it hurt? Did something happen? Did someone bother you? Tell me!" said Lily non-stop with a tone of anxiety.

"Lily..."

"What? What? Tell me. It's alright. Everything is alright. Who is it? Where are those b*stards ?!" Lily replied with a burning fury as she glared at Jey, ready to hear whatever her best friend had to say.

"Kiss ... He kissed me ..." murmured Jey with a flushed face as she gently touched his forehead.

"Ah? What did you say? Say louder, don't be afraid, baby. I'm here."
