He wondered why she isn't scared of him.
"Because something in me tells that you won't hurt me." She replied with confidence in her voice.
"Besides I still don't know who you are." She said.
"You're not the one who kidnapped me, and definitely not...
A beautiful summer morning, the sound of the chirping of the birds coming from the tall neem tree filling the ears of the boy walking towards his school. But rather than giving him peace the sound was distracting him from his thoughts about his friend who had been missing school from the past one week. At first he thought that she just needed some break, that's why she didn't come, but now it's been a week since her absence, he couldn't help but think that something suspicious is going on with his friend. While he was thinking, he realized that he reached the gates of the school and as a habit of his, he stood near the gate hoping to see his friend at least today.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes it was time for him to go to his first class, he again looked towards the road leading towards the gates of the school and with a disappointed sigh started moving towards the direction of his class. However, after hearing someone shouting his name he whipped his head immediately and saw his friend running towards him. An unconscious smile made its way on his face, he lifted his hand to wave at his friend, but when the figure of his friend came closer his smile disappeared from his face as he took in the sight of your face. Your left cheek had a bruise which had turned purple in colour and there was a cut just at the bottom of your lips. Namjoon's expression became sad because he knew that even if he asked how you got hurt, you won't tell him. You always changed the topic whenever he asked about how you got hurt or why you missed school.
It was always like that, sometimes your face had bruises and sometimes there were bruises on your arms, which Namjoon guessed was the reason why you always wore full sleeve shirts everytime. He tried to confront you on this once but all he could get from you was, that you can't tell him and you don't want to lie to him. He shook his head in disappointment and waited for you to reach him. "Hey Joonie." You greeted him while wrapping your arms around his torso and giving him a tight hug. He was the only closest friend you had. He wrapped his hands around your small frame and returned the hug. You were tall among most of the girls but Namjoon always made you look like a dwarf infront of himself. You never liked those who were taller than you, however Namjoon was an exception. When the both of you pulled apart he gave you a big smile showcasing his dimples which looked super cute on him, your hands unconsciously made their way to poke his dimples which made Namjoon's heart flutter but of course you didn't knew that.
"I won't ask you why you missed school for so many days because I know you won't answer, but instead I'll ask you something else and I want you to answer honestly." Namjoon said in a determined voice, he had been thinking about this question which he was going to ask you for quite some time and now finally he had the courage to ask you about this.
"Ok but can we talk later about this we'll miss the class otherwise." You said in a soft voice. He nodded and the both of you lead your way towards your class holding each others hands, to you it was a friendly gesture but for Namjoon it always gave him a heartbeat.
............................................
Namjoon had been soo busy in trying to find you that he forgets to take rest, which resulted in leading him to this situation of napping during the working hours. When he woke up from the dream that had been a memory of both of you during your teen years he realized how much time he had wasted. He had been worried sick about you that he barely ate anything and only drank coffee to get away the sleepiness.
The police station was filled with chattering noises of both the criminals and the victims as well as the police officers. Namjoon got up from his working area and made his way towards the coffee machine when he saw Emma making her way with a blonde haired man. She led him to the interrogation room. Namjoon recognised the man as Park Jimin, the one with whom you had a blind date. Park Jimin was the only one who had seen you before you went missing which made him the most important witness to this case. However, he had been ignoring his interrogations since the last one week. Although, now he can't runaway without giving any answers, Namjoon thought to himself.
He also made his way to the interrogation room but remained on the other side that was separated by a glass window which allowed Namjoon to see and hear the events occurring on the reverse side of the room.
He sat on a chair, saw Jimin and Emma doing the same in the dark room with only a bulb placed above the table that was separating them.
"So Mr. Park, " Emma started, "you've been trying to avoid your interrogation from the last few days. Do you know you could go to jail because of this." She said trying to scare him, to which Namjoon chuckled a little. Emma was one of the best police officers, she always prefers to scare her subjects before starting the interrogation which always amused everyone.
"I, I didn't mean to avoid them, it's just that I got, I got a little busy. I'm sorry." Jimin replied stuttering between his words.
When Emma noticed that he's scared she started the main interrogation smirking to herself.
The interrogation went for sometime. The questions asked were really simple, but they always left Jimin anxious and sweating which managed to get on Namjoon's nerves. He was getting angry from the replies that Jimin gave, it clearly showed that he does not want to get engaged in this case. However, his last statement was the one that ticked off Kim Namjoon completely.
"Listen officer, it was just one date I don't care whether anything happens to her or not. God, I don't even know her that much, and if I had known this would happen, I would never had gone on that date." He said and that was all it took for him to get a hard punch on his jaw from Namjoon.
The tension in the police station started building and before anything else could happen other officers came to separate Namjoon from Jimin who had been grabbing the blonde haired man by his collar.
The officers left him outside of the police station to calm down. Namjoon took some deep breaths to calm himself down, however, the thoughts of you never left his mind leaving tears in his eyes. He wondered whether you took your meals or not. He knew how much you struggled to finish your food, which brought a smile to his face between the tears. He just wished that you were well and holding on a little longer and waiting for him to find you.
