Chapter 18

Jinae's body went cold. She didn't know if it was always this cold or if it was the absence of Jungkook's warmth that had turned her to ice.

As Jungkook leaned in to pull the doors open, Jinae grabbed his wrist.

"What?" He breathed, raising his eyebrows.

"Don't. Not yet. Please." She mumbled, looking around. "Give me a minute."

"Why?" Jungkook asked, annoyed.

"Sorry,- Jinae started "If I did something wrong" she said trembling, "I just wanna be safe." She choked out, her sobs filling the air.

"Why did you get tangled up with us?"Jungkook beseeched. "Why'd you have to run into hyung?"

Jimae looked straight at him. "I- she began, "I was running from a far greater evil."

As soon as those words left her mouth, the oaken door was pushed open.

Out hobbled the gorgeous man, with a wide gauze wrapped tightly around his head.

Her eyes widening, Jinae tripped over her own feet in a haste to get away from him.

"You. He muttered, the sleek gauze on his head plastered down with burgundy liquid. Blood.

"I'm sorry for hitting you over the head with the pie tray!"she screamed out as he hobbled towards her.

"Why do you keep backing up?" He deadpanned, moving towards her. 

The man crept stealthy, his black pupils trained on her much wider ones with malice.

Jinae hit something solid behind her, the wall.

Looking around wildly, Jinae could only squeeze her eyes shut and brace herself as the man came closer, a wild, hungry look in his eyes; like a predator stalking its unaware prey.

Her eyes closed for several uneventful seconds.

Slowly prying one eye open in a squint, she slowly looked around the deserted hall.

"Where'd they go" she thought, still scanning the cold and drafty hall. Hearing a ragged breath just beside her ear, she looked around slowly, coming nose to nose with the gorgeous man.

"Boo."
