Sakura

Chapter Fourteen

It's been weeks since the three came back to Korea with Mark, Yuta stayed in Japan to assist the police. Johnny came to Japan three days after his phone call to him to help as well, even giving additional information about the professor. Luckily, his uncle has known someone in the police force so they have complete resources for their man-hunt.

Y/N kept on calling Yuta every night just to inform him about their day and he would tell her updates about the case. "If you need something, you can message Mark."

She only laughed at that. "Eomma is here and Taeyong comes by sometimes. Cut Mark some slack." Yuta sighed. He's just worried. Although Taeyong tells him that he spends time with the kids when she's at work, he shouldn't be too relaxed. "We're fine here, Yuta. How are you? When are you going back to practice?"

"How can I possibly practice when he's still at large?" He sighed, calming himself down. He's getting distressed again.

Y/N sighed. "Yuta please take care of yourself. Jae misses you. He kept looking for you every night."

The guy had to lightly smile at that. "Jae only?" She mentioned Cherry's name as well then he chuckled softly. "How about you?"

"I think I know why we just dated." He raised an eyebrow at that. "I can't stand long distance relationships. I feel like after another week, I might just go to Japan to see you." Yuta giggled. She's so cute. So her being clingy isn't the Japan air? It really is her. "I miss you," she whispered.

Yuta bit his lip to prevent himself from smiling so much as he spotted Johnny peeking through the door. He glanced at him curiously and he whispered the words, 'We found him.' She called for him on the phone, "Love, I'll call you later." he said that made her agree. "I think I might go home to you very soon."

They rushed to where the police said the report came. "The landlady reported that she hasn't seen the man come out for days but she's sure that it was the guy you were looking for." Nervousness filled his chest. What if he already left? What if he's in Korea or some other place? "The neighbors reported a foul odor coming from inside the room." The police said while directing the two to an ambulance. He pulled down the white cloth that revealed the pale face of the man Yuta saw in the festival. The man who scared his girls. The man who scarred both Cherry and Y/N.

He's dead? Yuta and Johnny just looked at each other. How? Why? "He killed himself." the policeman explained, even describing that the room was full of blood from the cuts on his wrist. He guided them to the said room while other uniformed officials stopped onlookers from going to the scene. When he opened the door, the reeking smell of blood welcomed them that almost made Yuta puke.

It was the pictures on the wall that made him almost vomit in frustration. There were pictures of girls who were tied, gagged, or blindfolded, some of them naked but when the policeman pulled a curtain, pictures of Y/N can be seen. Some were from the restaurant she's working, others were at the school where the children go. There are pictures of Johnny and Yuta as well, with the kids and with her. Then pictures of Cherry. And Jae. "We believe he's been stalking her for a while now." He's always so close. He's always watching them. Their every move. "He knew that everyone was looking for him so he took his own life."

A piece of paper was handed to Johnny and his crooked penmanship wrote all his sins. Him killing his wife and daughter after abusing them, even assaulting some female students but he did that because he loves Y/N and he's ready to be 'their' daughter's dad. Yuta was pissed. How dare he call himself Cherry's dad? He doesn't deserve it. To his surprise, it was Johnny who ripped the paper to shreds. "She doesn't need to know about this letter. He's dead, he won't ever bother her or Cherry again."
