My Small Little Girl

Chapter 14

"I'm s-scared..." 

Jin froze there, like ice. Namjoon who saw it also stiff. No one dares to hug Jin like that all this time after what happens to him. 

"T-The dead body..." Jisoo's weak voice speaks. He snaps out from his mind. He looks down and saw Jisoo still in his arms. 

"Jisoo." He calls. "Just go home and forget what you saw today." Jin continues before holds her shoulder.

She looks down but still crying. She wipes her tears and slowly turns around and walks away. Even Jin feels like wants to comfort her, he held himself. He stares at her small figure getting far and far.

Jin back to Namjoon and puts on gloves. But, he can feel stares from someone. Non-other than Namjoon.

"Wow. That was...unexpected, huh?" He smirks. 

"Focus, Joon." Jin glares at him. His friend laughs and continues his work.

Jisoo unlocks the door and takes off her shoes before she walks in. She puts down her bag and groceries on the table and flops herself on the couch. 

She slowly lay down on the couch and sigh. The scene just now makes her wonder, why she do that? Is it because she really scared, or she really needs Jin?

"Ughh..." Jisoo closes her face with a cushion.

Suddenly, someone rings the doorbell. She dragged herself to the door lazily and opens it. 

"Hey, Noona!!" Taehyung greet. He showing her his boxy smile. 

"Taehyung? Um...what are you doing here?" Jisoo frowns.

"Just want to hang out. I know Jin Hyung is not here yet so I bet you must be bored." He answers.

"Okay. I appreciate that I'm fine with being alone actually." Jisoo declined. "Besides, Jin said, he tells me not to let you in or not he wouldn't hesitate to throw you in jail." She added.

Taehyung scoffs and puts his hands inside his pocket. "He says like that to you?" 

"Yup. So, I think...it better if you-" Without let Jisoo finish, he walks in just like that. "....don't." Jisoo finishes her sentence.

"He wouldn't know if you didn't tell him," Taehyung speaks. Well, what he says is right but still, Jin wouldn't like it.

She sighs and closes the door. She saw him already sits on the couch like it was his house. 
"I will go cook and please, don't do something dumb." Jisoo reminds him and walks away.

Jisoo does her work peacefully. But her eyes keep glance at Taehyng who just looking at his phone. A lot of questions inside her mind. 

Who is this Taehyung actually?

Why Jin hates him too much?

What did Taehyung do to him?

Both of them look suit to each other to be best friends. But, why they look like enemies? Taehyung did his best to get closer to Jin but Jin? He just keeps pushing Tae away.

"Noona." Taehyung's voice speaks.

"Yeah?" Jisoo answers while cutting some vegetables. She can hear a chair being pull and it obvious that Taehyung sits on the bar chair. She can feel stares on her back.

"Is it true you in a relationship with Jin Hyung?" He asks. 

She stops cutting when hears that question. The relationship just fake but should she answer it fake? Or...say another answer?

"Jisoo Noona?" Taehyung calls.

"Yes. We're in a relationship. Why?" Jisoo asks. She feels like to answer it that way. 

"Oh," Taehyung responds.

"Now, my turn. Who are you Taehyung?" She asks when she turns around. Now, she facing him with a serious gaze.

"Me? I'm Kim Taehyung, Noona." He chuckles. But, his chuckles faded when hearing Jisoo serious tone.

"No. I mean, why Jin hate you so much? You just suddenly popped out of nowhere so I always curious about you." She said.

Taehyung smirks and gets up. "I think...it better if you ask Jin Hyung than me. I bet, he will tell you the whole story about him and me." He walks away and the door shut closes. 

That's means, he went out. Jisoo sighs and continues her works. She hates when it comes to cliffhangers. 

~~~~~

She puts down the plate and sighs tiredly. Jin will arrive any time now. She glances at her watch and it almost 7 pm. She grabs her coat and goes wearing her shoes.

Usually, she will wait for Jin to get home but today, she feels moody. She was scared if Jin said something, she might sensitive. 

'I go home early. Everything is settled. Your dinner already on the table. Your curtain already washes off. Bye.' - Jisoo

When Jisoo realizes he didn't reply, she puts her phone back inside her pocket. She thought maybe he was busy. 

Meanwhile Jin, he still at his work place. Namjoon came up and puts down the file on his desk. Jin looks at him with confusion.

"The report." He sits in front of him.

"So, anything about that dead body?" Jin asks while opens the file.

"What I found is, this man name is Terry. He is 32 years old. He's the owner of convenient store." Namjoon explains.

"That's it?" Jin raise his eyebrows.

"Do you remember the women who report her daughter missing?" He asks.

"That was your case. And you told me about it of course I remember." Jin nods.

Namjoon let out a heavy sigh. He leans closer to Jin and so do him. "This guy...he is a father of that missing daughter."

Jin eyes wide opens, "What!?" 

"It was him. Jin, I don't know why but I think...this case is related." He sighs. 

"What you mean?" Jin frowns.

"I mean...your case, murderer and my case kidnapper is related." He repeats it again. "I think, this two case has a same person."
