Chapter 22

I saw a small bag hanging on our apartment door and inside there was a small note. I glanced around before reading it. 

Hello Angie. This is Tae. I just figured out your door is only in front of mine. Look at my peephole! 

What the heck?! I stared up at the front door, creepy! Goosebumps got all over my skin. I gave him a ugly face and walked off tearing the light green tiny note apart.

Jain wouldn't talk to me, she was still shy from yesterday for opening up to me. I let her have her time. We did our work together. After finishing our English class we got to walk in the garden. 

"hey." Mac said after appearing in front of us with his friends. I saw her give him the 'no, not now!' look. I smiled a bit. Cute. 

"leave this poor girl alone. Let's go buddy." one of his friends puts his arm around his neck, dragging him away. Jain rolled her eyes and stared at me. 

"yes, they know about us. They are kind. I promise someday we will all go eat something together." she smiles and I nod. 

"sure, I would gladly go!" 

Jeongguk 

Today Her smile lights, talking aloud, laughing, proud to be herself as she is. My smile lifted up a bit. I frowned seeing her walking alone. Now she doesn't seem like herself. I got worried. She would always walk with her friend. I followed her quietly behind. Being low as possible. She was walking a bit faster with her head low. A man with his bicycle was cycling in front of her way. I moved quickly forward, grabbing her both shoulders and pushed her towards me. Her back hit my chest. The man continued to cycle his way out after shouting. 

"next time watch out." After I told her that, I let go of her. She looks up at me quickly. 

"Jeongguk." she says speechless, looking at me with her soft wide eyes. Nathan's words replays in my mind again;

"don't ever show up in front of her. Your job is only being a spy. No more." Nathan says carefully. 

"I won't." I promised, nodding my head slowly. 

I thought I would keep my words. Lowkey I was wrong.

"yes?" I say. She is so beautiful. Looking at me with those eyes as if she was telling me not to let go of her and makes me want to protect her even more. I threw the thoughts away from me and paid attention to her. 

"Why do you always show up? I thought… You will never come back due to your–I mean, nothing. I got to go." this is the second time she acts like this. I frown down at her. 

"Angelina, what were you going to say?" I asked, looking into her pleading eyes. She opens her mouth and closes it. She only turns around and walks away. I got pissed. I hate it when she does that. Wanna say something? Then say it. 

Angelina 

I did it again! Ugh, I hate this! I didn't want him to find out about me knowing about his real illegal job! I can't bring myself to tell him! I frustratingly tagged on the elevators tag. Then I remembered about yesterday's accident with Taehyung. No, not going inside it again. The stairs, the better. I moved away and walked up to the stairs, our floor is only at 3nd. 

"Hey!" hearing this familiar voice, I cursed. 

"what do you want?" I said, meeting my eyes up with his. We were in the middle of the hallway stairs. 

"Ah-ha! If you speak with me with this attitude, I will probably kidnap you and get some one million or even more money for selling you." he said, staring at me with an amusing look. I sighed loud in annoyance. 

"Shut up!" I walked up past him. 

"I invited you and your granny for dinner. See ya!" he says and runs down. What?! I walk up faster, opening the door, yelling, 

"Lenda!" I close the door behind, walking in to see her calm on the couch. 

"oh, hey! Unfortunately I didn't make dinner today because our neighbor invited us." she says casually. 

"do you even know who he is!" I shouted, staring at her confused face. 

"... Our neighbor? The cute guy." 

"no, no, no! He is Taehyung, The kidnapper!" I shouted. 

"Ah! No wonder where I saw him before! Yeah he is a nice kidnapper!" she says standing up. I stare at her with wide eyes. 

"What?!" I shouted unbelievably at her, throwing my arms at the air. "that's not the point!" 

Granny didn't mind it. She thought he was only cute and that's why she wanted to go to his place. I frustratedly sigh out loud. She is so careless. 

"ugh!" I messed my hair up. I sit as she sits back. Wait a minute… I think that's the only way to find out the truth. Maybe We could have a calm conversation. This is the only chance. The only chance to find out why he wants me.  

"if you don't wanna go, it's alright–" 

"no, we should go." I said. "We definitely need to go." she frowned and nodded. 

After an hour we got ourselves ready. And now I'm in front of his apartment door with his smiley face. Looking at both of us. Staring at me up and down. 

"Nice hoodie." he says welcomed us inside. I was feeling uncomfortable, however I managed to stand and be normal. Granny is talkative and he likes it. 

"Dinner is lasagna? Correct?" Grannys words made him laugh. Oh, dear me, she loves lasagna, this could be why she didn't hesitate. I cursed inside of me, closing my eyes a bit tightly. I opened them up quickly again. He figured out her weakness.

"yeah of course! I told you I keep my words." he said and winked at her. She giggles and looks away. What did I just see? 

"you are such a sweet guy." Taehyung smiles when Lenda praises him. Taehyung made us sit on the table and got the dishes. We started eating and I was silent the whole time. They were the one talking non stop. And I can't seem to find the right words to ask about Seokjin, and why his boss needed me. I remember when he got mad when I got through his belongings. 

"wanna see the books I have? You can borrow from me if you like some. There are plenty of them and different stories." He asks granny and she agrees to it. After finishing the dishes. He got up and took her with him. Should I go? What if he… without wasting time I stand up and follow them inside the small living room to see many books. Even on the grounds and on the couch. I was amazed by this room. 

"It's so peaceful and nice!" says granny. 

"make sure to have your time, my lady." After he told her that, he comes and holds my hand, pushing me out of the room with him. He closes the living room door and turns around to glance at me with his serious look. "don't be so scared, I won't do anything to her. I would never." he smiles a bit and walks past me after releasing me. Now my breath left me. I shake my head and help him with the dishes. 

While I was doing the dishes, he came and leaned on the counter beside me. " you are annoying me with your behavior." he says, staring at me. I took a quick glance at him and back to the dishes. 

"what's wrong with my behavior?" I said.

"Just ask whatever the hell is on your mind." He says with a serious tone. I stopped doing the plate and tilted my head to see him looking back at me.

"I was planning to."
