Letters to Anonymous | MYG [Completed]

35. Red

Next day, first order of the day was to register police complaint. Again help was taken from Suga's legal team. Though Ah-In was assured by  officials that culprit would be brought to justice, the thought of putting a teenage girl behind bars didn't sit well with Ah-In.

Once back from police station, Ah-In decided to stay home and rest. Her agency had already cancelled all the programs for the day.

Comfort of the bed seemed best option at the moment. Ah-In sunk deep under the pile of blankets and closed her eyes. She waited for an hour to fall asleep but with all the thoughts running through her mind, there wasn't even ounce of sleep in her eyes. She tossed and turned in bed but finally got up to find something else to do.

She took her phone which was now devoid of all the social media apps. This meant that she was not checking all the toxic posts and messages, but it also meant that she could not communicate with her virtual friend. Right now she desperately wanted to have a conversation with him. It would require her to install insta and that would entail bombardment of other messages too.

She took the decision of installing the app, being aware of consequences as well. As soon as the app was installed, her phone started buzzing incessantly. She quickly searched for MYG's contact while completely ignoring all the other messages.

Her face lit up with surprise and a wide smile formed on her lips.  Everyday while her insta was uninstalled MYG had sent her messages. Messages motivating her to stay strong.

Seems her identity getting revealed was a boon. Everyday MYG had sent her a reminder of one of her many accomplishments. He must have taken a lot of time to research about her career. His messages mentioned her accomplishments all the way from her first book at the age of thirteen to all the recent ones. He reminded Ah-In of all the accolades she has gathered throughout her career in the sweetest way

MYG wanted her to remain confident and brave as she always have been. His messages were the medicines for all that was ill in her life right now.

She thought she couldn't have asked for a better friend. She felt immense gratitude towards all the people in her life who are pillar of support in this difficult time.

Unfortunately, MYG was not online right now. Before Ah-In uninstalled the app again, she thanked him for his sweet messages. She also conveyed how much she was missing their interactions. She told him that she wants to speak with him, meet him as soon as things get better.

After reading MYG's messages two to three times, Ah-In uninstalled the app and put her phone aside. She went back inside the pile of blankets.

Sleep was still illusive and last thing she wanted to do was again start thinking about awful things happening in her life. She stepped out of bed and started wondering around the house aimlessly.

She roamed between bedroom, living room and kitchen, finding nothing interesting to do. Nothing seem to appeal at the moment. Her eyes finally fell on a pile of mail that she had retrieved before entering house in the afternoon.

Hoping to find positive messages, she started opening envelope after envelope. There really were sweet messages in hand crafted beautiful letters. Some praising her writing, some congratulating her and some giving her courage to deal with current circumstances. Soothing words of her fans seemed to heal her aching heart.

Overjoyed, Ah-In opened a large envelope. A letter and few pictures came out of the envelope. Unfortunately, nothing sweet in this envelope. Ah-In's nightmares were coming true. There were pictures of Ah-In and Suga kissing each other from the night they went to the garden. Though taken from far with deem light, both their faces were clearly visible. Every time new pictures were coming out in social media, Ah-In used to feel relieved with the thought that there are no pictures out from their intimate moments in the garden. Now, her fear is coming to true.

She opened the letter which had a short message written on it.

"Despite my clear warnings, you have still not left Suga's side. This is my last warning.  This time the letter is written with my blood, next time it would be of someone you love. Stay away!"

Ah-In just stared at the red writing on the letter, mind blank, face painted with horror.

Despite the warning in the letter, her next action was to visit Suga at his studio with the letter and pics.

--------------------------------------------

"I think we need to take a break from this situation."

"Ah-In you are giving in to the demand of a psychotic fan"

"I'm not saying we need to end our relationship. I just want to take a break from everything that's going on till things get back to normalcy."

"We will report this incident too. Trust me people who are doing all these would get caught and punished!"

"Yoongi, how many people and how many incidents would we report?"

"A break is not a solution Ah-In."

"My work is being questioned. Me and my family members are defamed. I'm getting attacked physically and my loved ones are being threatened! This is the last straw!"

"Look I understand the situation but we are giving in to all that is wrong."

"I just want some break from this toxicity and fear. I certainly don't want to end what we have. But let's just take a pause for a brief period."

"You and your family both will be protected, I promise Ah-In."

"You can protect us physically. But you can't protect us from all the defamation and emotional wounds."

There was no assurance of when and if this break will end. Sharing warm moment with each other had become like a habit for Suga. He had gotten used to all the affection and now staying away from all the sweetest things in life seemed impossible. He didn't want to stay away from her even for a day.

However, Suga knew where Ah-In was coming from and he wasn't sure of what he can say further to convince her to not let go. He was afraid of how Ah-In will deal with everything coming to her without his presence. But, he had to trust her strength. He knows she is brave and can deal with anything and everything that will come her way. Despite knowing this, thought of her fighting all alone pains him.

With a heavy heart, Suga agrees. With a last embrace, they seperate their ways, temporarily!
