Closet Monster

Chapter 6

"I SWEAR TO GOD LILY THIS IS FUCKING SERIOUS, STOP ACTING LIKE IT'S NOT!"

The loud voice of a very frustrated male shouting came from Lily's phone which she put on loud speaker and was lying on the bed behind her. She was sitting at the corner of her bed facing the wall on the other side and smoking a cigar. She had just come out of the shower wearing only a oversized white shirt, her hair was still wet and she was smoking a cigar as if nothing was wrong..

But Jungkook who was sitting in the closet with the doors wide open and witnessing the whole scene in front of him, knew something was very very wrong. The man on the other side of the phone was frantic, as he should be. Jungkook doesn't know his name but through the conversation it seems like he's Lily's accomplice in her crimes. Jungkook didn't know she had one.

Currently he is freaking out because apparently police found some DNA evidence in the crime scene of the murder of the guy she killed on the rooftop. The guy who threw acid on his ex wife's face. It's been five days since the murder happened and three days since the body was discovered. The body was bludgeoned so badly, he was unrecognizable and the forensic experts are still trying to identify him. But on the scene they also found another DNA and that's definitely is gonna be Lily's. Now if police could match the DNA with her, she's done for. Of course, her accomplice would be worried. But Lily seems so chill about this. She looks like she couldn't have cared less.

"Are you even listening? We have to fix this somehow! Lily.."

Lily sighed,"Why are worrying so much about that, relax. I told you nothing would happen..."

"STOP! OH MY GOD DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SERIOUS THIS IS? FUCKING POLICE FOUND YOUR DNA! ARE YOU NOT EVEN SCARED? I SWEAR.."

"Calm down,"Lily said while taking a drag from her cigar.

The guy took a deep breath and stayed quiet for sometime, trying to calm himself. After a little while he said,"Why Lily? You never made mistakes like that ever. Why this time? Because our client reminded you of your m.."

"Doyoung,"She finally uttered his name, her voice sounding way colder than usual,"Let's not cross the line here."

"Lily, even after this you believe that you don't have feelings? What is this.."

"I don't have feelings."

He sighed,"Lily, we have to fix this. Or you're gonna go to jail. We need to do something about the DNA evidence."

"I will fix it, Doyoung. You just sit and relax. And I don't get why you're worrying so much about it, I already told you a million times if I get caught I won't rat you out."

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT LILY..IM WORRIED ABOUT Y.."

"Aish,"Lily cringed while touching her ear,"You're loud."

"Lily, I'm serious, we need to do something.."

"I will change it somehow. Can you get me some other dna sample or shit like that?"

"Are you planning on breaking into a police station and tampering with evidence?"

"Do you have a better idea?"

"Well we could tell make up a story about how you saw him on the roof after he was murdered, thought he was unconscious but when you got close to him, you got so scared you ran away without calling the police..? Or we could get someone to go instead and change the dna sample? Or we could bribe the cleaning staff or something?"

Jungkook nodded unintentionally. It kind of was a good idea.

"But I would have to sit through police interrogation for hours and you know how much I fucking hate police,"She took a drag from her cigarette,"And how much would you be able to trust the cleaning staff or someone else?"
