My Small Little Girl

Chapter 27

Tense fill the silence. Jisoo fiddling with her fingers, looking at her laps. Jin keeps walking back and forth while pinching his bridge nose. How can he be this stupid not notice Jisoo got a weird phone call?

"I--I'm sorry, Jin. I am." Jisoo quiet said.

He sighs. "Since when you got that call?" 

"This past few days." She answers.

"And you didn't even think of telling me?" Jin snaps, turning to her. She didn't say anything instead, afraid of answering. "You think you can handle everything by yourself? Do you think, keeping it secret will help everything!? Jisoo, you can be arrested because people thought you conspired with the murderer!!!" He raised his voice.

Jisoo couldn't help but flinch. "I can't...j--just can't tell you." 

"Why!? I keep asking you why and you never answer it!! If Namjoon didn't tell me about that, who knows what happened!? Who knows what your little brains decide to do!!?? Thank goodness, Namjoon understands your situation." Jin scolds her. His hands clenched tightly and his breath quickened as if he after running.

When Jisoo didn't say anything, he let out a heavy sigh. He can see tears dripping from her cheeks and chin. Jin ruffles his hair and wen towards his bedroom. The door firmly shut with loud slams.

Jisoo gripping her sweater tightly. Why does this happen to her? She knows what Jin says was true but she can't let him hurt. 

The house phone rang again. Jisoo looks at it. She takes a deep breath and picks up the phone. Her hands shaking trying to sound brave.

"H--Hello?"

"Hey, Jisoo!!" Namjoon spokes.

"Oh hey, Namjoon." There's a relief sigh escapes her mouth. "What's wrong?" She asks. 

"I thought it was Jin because we need him here. Since you answered the phone, I wanted to ask you." Namjoon paused for a moment. "What the murderer told you? Remember. You can't lie to me. I just want to hear what he told you since the record didn't clear much." He warns.

Jisoo takes a deep breath and lets it out. "Joon, he...he threatened me...about killing J--Jin." She can feel tears form in her eyes.

"That sentence...make my whole world stop. I don't want to risk Jin's life because of me!! It scared me, Joon!! I'm scared!!" She fell to her knees and burst into tears. "I'll never forgive myself if he's hurt..." 

She scared.

Losing him.

Taking the blame.

Everything.

"Jisoo, trust me. I know Jin. He's someone who...strong. Stronger more than you knew." He comfort. "I'm surprised he protects you and cares for you as if you are related to him or something." Namjoon laughs.

"Do you know what Jin told the girl he last met? That women want to flirt with him but Jin told her he was gay. He mention me as his boyfriend and I was like--What the fuck?" He jokes. 

It helps lighten the mood. Jisoo chuckles and wipes her tears. Out of a sudden,  there's a pair of arms wrapped around her waist.

She looks at her back and it was him. Jin gives her a small smile before snuggling his face on her neck.
"Thank you, Joon." He said.

"You welcome, buddy." That's when Namjoon hangs up.

"Did you...Did you and Namjoon--"

"Yes. If I'm not doing it, you wouldn't tell me what happened." He firmly said. "Now, even I know the truth, I want to listen to it from your mouth INFRONT of me."
