The Good Suicide

Chapter 9

JENNIE (cont.)

It's been a long month since I went here. I can't even remember exactly when. Well, hell months actually. Ji Yong has been treating me badly. He's torturing me, physically and emotionally!

I've been thinking about my friends, especially Jisoo Unnie, Rosé and of course Lisa. I hope they are all okay. I'm worried sick about them. Why? Simply because one time Jisoo Unnie and Rosé found out that I am living under his roof not that far from ours. They visited me and Ji Yong got to know that and he's very mad. He doesn't want them to know where I am. I begged him not to hurt them but of course ako ang kapalit, ako ang sasaktan niya. And guess what? He fvcking did! I can't even open my left eye because he punched me hard there! I almost died that night. I don't know why I allowed him to do all of these but one thing is for sure, ginagawa ko ito para protektahan ang mga taong importante sakin at mga taong mahal ko. I want them out of danger.

I was busy thinking when I got startled. I heard something outside my window. I wiped my tears and composed myself. I tried to look but I heard Ji Yong's voice. I gasped and went back to my bed and covered myself with my blanket. I'm so scared. I heard my door open.

Ji Yong: Jennie! Jennie Kim! Gumising ka diyan! ipagluto mo ako ng hapunan!!! I already told you that I want you to cook food for me?!! Get up, b!tch!

Jennie: I-i'm not feeling well, Ji Yong. P-please let me rest just for t-tonight.

Ji Yong: I don't care! Get up now or else I will kill you?!!!

I wiped my tears again and got up then walked to the kitchen. I just cooked some food for him. I'm glad that he ate it all without complaining. He let me eat too. I don't know what's happening to him but I know there's something wrong.

Jennie: I-i'll go to my room now. Excuse me. (About to stand)

Ji Yong: Stop, we need to talk.

Jennie: t-talk? About w-what?

Ji Yong: We will be attending a huge party. I need you to be there. They're Dad's business partners. So wear a nice one, a revealing one to be exact. We need a little show. Dad told them that I'll be getting married soon. Don't say no because you know what will happen if you won't follow me.

Jennie: Are you serious?! How can I show my face to them?! Can't you see my face right now?!

Ji Yong: You can fix that right?! I know marunong ka naman mag make up! Or do you want me to hire a makeup artist?

Jennie: You're unbelievable!

Ji Yong: I know I am! So, go now and have a sweet dream. As much as I want to beat you right now, but I can't. Baka mahirapan ka pa ayusin yan!

Jennie: Fvck you!!!!

Ji Yong: What?! (Stand up)

Jennie: (nervous)

Ji Yong: Baka nakakalimutan mong may atraso ka pa sa akin?!! Stop being stubborn! Don't push me to my limit, Jennie! Go now before I could kill you!

I just turned my back on him. I ran to my room as fast as I could while crying. Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kelan ko matitiis ang lahat ng ito. I just want to die now but I can't, I'm still holding on. I know someday I'll be free from that bastard!

I was about to turn off the lamp shade when I heard something outside my window again. I got up and fixed my hair in a messy bun. I went out on the balcony. I saw no one so I decided to go back. I was about to enter when someone suddenly pulled me and covered my mouth. I tried to push those hands......

???: sssshhhhh, calm  down J-jennie. It's me, Lisa.

Jennie: L-lisa???? Sh!t!! What the hell are you doing h-here??!! (Whispered)
