Chapter 25

Since when was the last time I had a nice dinner with you? Since when did we walk around your favorite place, garden? And lastly, since when have you hugged me tightly with warmth and love, and kisses all over my face? I couldn't stop thinking of those precious memories with you, mom. I lost it. I start to weep and sobs won't stop. I let myself fall on my both knees hard on the ground.

"Ange…lina? Angelina?" Taehyung's worried voice faded through my ears. I only ignored him. I was concentrating on my own cries.

"You bastard!" my breath stopped for a while hearing that voice. I sniffed before I swiftly glanced behind me to see Jeongguk holding on Taehyung's collar. My eyes went wide and I stood below their levels.

"Leave him!" I grabbed on Jeongguks arm, trying to pull him away from Taehyung, but it wouldn't help.

"Now you decide to show up, little scary brat?" Taehyung says wisely with a smirk on.

"what have you done?" Jeongguk bloody says. I was still trying to pull him off. "don't mess with me now, Taehyung." I stopped to stare at him. He knows him too? What's going on?

"Yes, Angelina, Just like in the picture." he told me before moving his stare at Jeongguk again. What does he mean by that? Jeongguk looks at me, who is bewildered, with one brow up. I only swift my eyes to his ear. Avoiding his stare. Jeongguk lets go of Taehyung's collar harshly. His big hand held mine and dragged me with him. I looked behind to see Taehyung staring at me. He gave me a tiny smile. Why didn't I stop Jeongguk from taking me any further? Maybe I really wanted to be with him? Or because I wanted to ask him how he knows Taehyung? After he made me get inside the car, he got in and drove.

"unbelievable, Angelina!" Jeongguk speaks. I only stayed shut. "don't you even know who he is?! He was the one who kidnapped you!" He shouts again. He then stops the car on the side road. Looking at me. I kept my face straight, not looking back to him. "I thought you would be more cautious!" I bite my lower lip in frustration. Who does he think he is? "look at me." I move my head to look at his eyes after his last words.

"Why do you care?" was all I said. He lifted both eyebrows in disbelief.

"Are you serious?"

"I'm dead serious, Jeongguk. You are not my bodyguard anymore. I don't even understand why you act like that." I told him. He let out a small sigh before speaking.

"that's not what we are speaking of, Angelina. I'm only saying that you are with a kidnapper. I know him better than anyone." he says.

"I can be with whoever I want, Jeongguk. And you should stay out of this. I don't care if you know him better, but I know him too. And he told me–" he cuts me off.

"oh, yeah? You believe him so easily. When I was your bodyguard, you didn't even have a tiny trust in me, Angelina."

"That's because I don't trust bodyguards anymore, I had plenty before and they did horrible things to me, Jeongguk. So I have a reason why. "

"Well, have I?" he asks, staring at me deeply. For a while I was lost at words. "Have I done anything horrible," he moves his head forward closer and whispers, "to you?"

"yes." I told. He really did.

"Don't invent lies, Angelina. I never did." you did. He chuckles in disbelief. He leans back, looking out of the window. I see his jaw clenching. You took my heart. You left your job as a protector when I thought you would stay forever. You kept showing up out of no where when I'm trying to move on, on this stupid feeling. He shakes his head and eyes gaze on me. He gives off his incredible smile. "What did he tell you to make you trust him so much?"

"I just did." I said, not hesitating. He looks surprised.

"your attitude got worse. Nathan should let you stay in the house again. And not letting you go." I spoke again before he started the car.

"excuse me! That's not your problem to say that!" I shout. He let go of the car key and looked back at me. He licks his mouth quickly before speaking.

"believe me, it is."

"how so?" I said pissed.

"I just do." he says sarcastically. I felt so annoyed and hurt at the same time. I'm so stupid for waiting for him to tell me his true self. And so stupid to even start this.
I open the car door and shut it after me. Jeongguk was calling my name and I only walked faster, ignoring him. Not long before he grabs my wrist harshly and roughly turns me around to face him. Although it was dark, I could see his furious face.

"Leave me alone!" pulling my wrist away from his grip, was no use. Ugh!

"Angelina, you are being too much and I'm doing a good job holding in." he says deeply, staring into my eyes. I hate to see him in this expression.

"Jeongguk, please leave me alone. I don't want to have anything to do with you." I said honestly. Kinda.

"Angelina, get in the car…Now." he says carefully. I shook my head furiously.

"You are more dangerous." I said and I cursed at myself for saying that. He could be dangerous, but I don't think he will ever harm me. Right? Yeah, he wouldn't.

"what?" his grip loosen a bit. I pulled off slowly. Backing away.

"I… I Don't know." I breathe out, feeling nervous.

"Angelina, what do you mean?" he asks. His emotions are hard to read now.

"I'm sorry." I said and turned around to keep on walking. I felt both arms wrapping around my waist and being lifted up.

"I'm the one who is sorry. You have to come with me. That's the final. " he says moving to his car.

"Jeongguk, don't do this! Put me down!" I shouted, kicking the air. He opens the door and gets me inside of the car carefully.

"stay." he said bloody and I listened. He turns on the car and drives. "Where did you meet him?" he asks.

"he is my…" I quickly changed my words. "Only a coincidence." I said nervous.

"Your what?" he says again. I rolled my eyes, looking out of the window. Now what?

"a coinciden–"

"don't lie." I gulped nervously. "He is your what, Angelina?" he asks again. I shut my eyes tightly before speaking.

"my neighbor. We are neighbors from front doors. " I finally said.

" Great. " he says and drives at high speeds.

" are you sure you can sleep like that? " I asked him, gazing at his body, laying on the small couch. "that doesn't look comfortable."

"it's alright. Only for a day. No biggie." he said before closing his eyes. I rolled my eyes, walking to my room. I see granny on my bed.

"is he going to be fine?" she asks in a low tone. I nodded slowly and sat beside her.

"that's what he said." I shrugged and smiled. "I'm kinda happy and not." I whispered. She only stares at me and on the floor. She stands up.

"goodnight. Sleep tight." with that, she walked out of the room. Leaving me speechless. I guess… She isn't cool with the idea of me loving him. I sigh and get myself ready to sleep.
