Exposed Truth | Jeon Jungkook

Chapter 25

Nari || Wednesday, June 24

Everything seems to be in slow motion as I watch Jungkook's body fall limply to the floor. I don't know how to react, my mind isn't processing what's happening at the moment.

My mind is completely blank as I stare at Jungkook with shock. His eyelids flicker as he reaches his hand out to me. I want to hold onto his hand, but I feel a grip around my arms and I'm pulled up to my feet and away from him before I can touch him.

Only at that moment, does panic and fear rush through me as I'm being dragged farther and farther away from Jungkook. I want to go to him, but I can't. Tears well up in my eyes as I scream and kick, trying my best to free myself from the man's strong grip.

"Shut up!" Jay yells into my ear menacingly, his expression is cold and his grasp around my arms tightens, I'm sure there will be bruises.

All I can do is cry and scream, hoping for someone to hear me. Hoping for Jungkook to wake up. Hoping for Jimin and Lisa to come to rescue us.

The dead gang leader's face flashes across my mind, I cannot let what he did to me happen to me again. The thought causes a cold shiver to run up my spine. I cannot let Jay control my body, the way the gang leader did.

I try to smash his face with my elbows with all the strength I can muster as I twist my arms in his grip, yet to no avail, he only dodges and grunts. He pushes me against the wall of the narrow corridor, his body pressing up against mine. His tall and muscular frame towers over me and I can feel his hot breathe on my face as he looks down at me with a chilling glare on his face.

I try to avoid his gaze, but he only grips onto my chin and cocks my face upwards, so I'm forced to look up at his face. My body trembles and my heart pounds in my chest as he closes the space between our bodies. I blink away the tears that are uncontrollably streaming down my cheeks.

"Look at me," he mutters, his face inching closer to mine, but I just shut my eyes.

He bangs his hand against the wall beside my head, causing me to shriek and I reluctantly open my eyes.

"Princess, if you don't want to get hurt, you should cooperate with me," he snarls with his bitter eyes that seem to be looking into my soul.

My breathing becomes heavier and I feel as if my knees are going to buckle. I don't know what to do. My body wants to give up. I know I have no chance to go up against the man with my weak and petite figure, so I do as he says. There's nothing else I can do. I stop wasting my energy in trying to free myself from his powerful grip.

"Good girl," Jay whispers when I stop squirming.

Nothing goes through my mind as I let him grasp onto my arms and pull me along with him as we move along the corridor and down a flight of stairs. My legs feel like jelly as I stumble down the stairs. The tears don't stop trickling down my face as the man drags me towards a closed door, which I assume is the basement.

Jay unlocks the door and pushes me inside. As soon as I step foot into the small and gloomy room, my eyes instantly go to the figure sitting in the corner. I frown. What is she doing here? We stare at each other in shock as Jay pushes me to the cold stone ground, forcing me to sit, then takes one of my wrists and chains it to the wall. I look around the room and notice that it's empty except for a pile of blankets and pillows laid on the ground in one corner.

Before Jay can leave, I grip onto his wrist to stop him, "What are you going to do to Jungkook? Please don't hurt him..."

"Nothing will happen to him if he doesn't make things difficult for me," he says with a threatening scowl and flings my frail arm away, then leaves the room and locks the door.
