The Chase (1/3)

JP with Choi and Eun-Ji

City Streets - San Francisco, CA

Eun-Ji breathed a sigh of relief as she managed to exit the campus entirely with no further incident. As far as she could tell, no one was following her; however, she continued to proceed with caution just in case. Her head was on a swivel as she made her way towards downtown.

She had no idea that Choi’s speed had shortened the distance relatively quickly. As she stepped on the trolley several blocks down the way, Choi would have a last second chance to see her before she would be completely obscured and in the clear. Unfortunately her stunning hanfu outfit was easy to spot amongst the common American attire.

Seeing the girl from his vision hopping on a trolley, Yeong realized he was to far away at the moment to catch the trolley. Choi looked around for something that would help him catch up. Spying a boy on a skateboard nearby, Yeong pulled a twenty dollar bill from his pocket.

“I need to rent this,” he quickly said, as the boy stepped off to receive the money.

Choi gave himself a push off toward the street. Grabbing the fender of a car, he built up momentum from the acceleration. As the car turned away from the path of the trolley, Yeong pushed away from it to propulse himself as a rocket toward the trolley.

People on the back of the trolley couldn’t believe what they were seeing. They began cheering him on, encouraging Choi to catch up.

Choi Yeong, inspired by the passengers, reached a hand forward, grabbing the back pole with his left hand. He pulled himself up onto the trolley with the skateboard shooting out from under his feet.

Choi to a second to breath deeply. Keeping an eye toward the front of the trolley, Yeong kept an eye open for the girl to exit the trolley.
