Perfect World

Chapter 44

Mina POV

Silent.

I glance over to see her lips pursed together as if they were glued shut. I didn't want to make her uncomfortable than she already is but it was a serious matter that I need to know.

"H-he uh- he usually not like that." She tried to said softly as if it would make anything better.

I suddenly felt angry. My blood was boiling of the thought. She didn't deny the question meaning Somi was right. I started to retighten the grip on the wheel and my shoulder fell up and down. I want to put him behind bars or even file a report about him because no one should go through that.

"Mina, please don't do anything." She said.

What?

"How can I'm not?" I said angrily.

I was surprise by my sudden outburst and I knew she was too. I felt her hand loosen from mine. We still holding hands but not as loving and interlock. I need to calm down.

"I'm sorry. Its just, I don't want you be under the house with a man who can physically hurt you. We can stop him Chaeyoung. My family and I have a lawyer and we can sue or anything just to make sure you okay." I said.

"No. No, please no. I'm just waiting until I'm graduate and I can get out of the house and far away as possible from him." She said.

"Chaeyoung. This is serious." I said.

"How do you even know about this?" She asked.

I stop with the raging comment and felt her eyes set on the side of my head. I heard a scoff in the distance.

"Of course. Somi right?" She asked.

I didn't respond.

"Great." She said sarcastically.

I felt the anger boil up to my head. I should have known. My mom was right, those bruise on Chaeyoung were deliberate.

"I can't let you go home, Chaeyoung. Not to him." I said.

"Minari, its fine. He's not home. He hasn't been home in a while. So, I'm okay. Really." She said.

I was still filling with rage. What if he come back home? What would she do then? What if he hurt her? I pursued my lips feeling the texture of them which is dry. I let out sighed defeated.

"If he does come back and try something, please come to me. I will let you stay at my house. Call me. Talk to me. Anything. Please, Chaeyoung." I said.

Silent.

I sigh.

I soon dropped her off at home. I didn't see her dad car, so that was a good sign. I walked her inside and she show me to her room which is upstairs passing the living room. The house was a mess, it was filled with the bottles of alcohol on the floor and counter. I gagged at the sight and horrid smell. I tore my eyes off the place and follow Chaeyoung up to the stairs. Everything was mess but her room which was generally small but neat.

"Hey, I really have to go. Kai is waiting for me at home." I said but not really want to go.

"I know. Thank you for walking me in." She said smiled lightly.

"Of course. Just remember what I said. I will always have you. See you soon." I smiled back.

I made my way out the door and I felt a soft hand tug my sweater. I turn around and I felt a peck upon my cheek. A blush crept on my face and so did her.

..............................

"You did not!" I yelled out laughing.

"Yes, I am. I totally did. And his face was priceless." Kai said laughing.
