Closet Monster

Chapter 27

The house felt like a graveyard. The air was thick and heavy. Everything felt ominous and dark.

Lin was having the time of his life. Roaming around Lily's room. Touching and inspecting things that did not belong to him while Jungkook was stuck in a corner of the room with Lily behind him, letting Lin have his way. Jungkook hated the fact that Lily was holding him back from using his powers to destroy this prick. Lily kept talking about how Lin would hurt him instead, he's really powerful. Jungkook could care less about getting hurt right now, especially when his lover's mental health is declining due to this prick's sudden arrival on her birthday. Lin had stated that he has some very important information to give her, Lily hated the fact but that is one of the reasons she let him stay around.

Lin seemed fascinated by her collection of vinyl records. He grazed through all of them before picking one and playing it on her vinyl player. The silent room filled with Lily's favorite piece. Lin closed his eyes as if he's immersed in the music before looking straight at Lily,"Your mother used to love this one, do you remember? Every time she would get tortur.."

"You son of a..."Jungkook was about to lunge towards Lin once again but Lily held him back and whispered,"Calm down, Kook. The more riled up you get, the more fun he will have."

Lin chuckled and sat on her bed while crossing his legs as if he were some sort of royalty. He then looked back at Lily, almost sadly,"Why him, dear? Why him and not me? What do I lack?"

Is that jealousy Jungkook detects? Is this Lin guy jealous that she chose Jungkook as her partner and not him?

Lily had frowned and slowly pushed Jungkook away and stood in front of him. She had pulled herself back. She had figured out Jungkook was full of rage now. This would just entertain Lin more. She had to step out and take care of this so Jungkook doesn't end up getting hurt,"Is that why you're here? To act like a sore ass loser?"

Lin looked down and chuckled before looking up,"Still feisty as ever, Huh, my little flo.."

"I told you many times to not call me that, you deaf son of a.."Lily said through her gritted teeth.

"Ah, you wound me, dear,"Lin said while clutching his heart dramatically,"As you always have."

"Listen, I really don't have time for your bullshit, as you know it's my birthday, and in case you don't know, you're one unsightly thing to see on my birthday. Both my boyfriend and I don't appreciate your visit. If you don't have anything important to say, fucking leave. Well, even if you have something important to say...still leave. I'm over it."

"Boyfriend, Huh?"Lin pushed his tongue against the inside of his cheek.

Lily shrugged,"Leave. And don't find me again. I've given it a thought and figured out, no matter what information you might have for, it's useless for me now."

"Are you sure about that? Are you sure you really want me to leave?"

"Affirmative,"Lily said while crossing her hands over her chest but still standing in front of Jungkook, hiding him behind her.

"Even if I tell you where your father is?"

Jungkook knew that it was Lily's one and only wish to find her father and kill him. This Lin guy is using that, isn't he? Lily has been dying to find that information forever. There's no way she's gonna let him go without getting to know about his whereabouts. Jungkook saw how Lily's faux confident demeanor had a little crack as soon as she heard that. But soon she regained her confidence and said shocking Jungkook,"I told you I was over it. I'm over it all."

Jungkook widened her eyes.

What?

As if Lily could sense his shock she turned her head to him, threw a small reassuring smile at him,"I told you I was gonna give you a present on my birthday."
