Never Let You Go // Jeon Jungkook {BOOK TWO}

Chapter Twenty-Three

Y/N POV:

I was walking home from the cafè when I heard footsteps behind me. They're matching mine. Whoever was behind me, started whistling. It was a creepy kind of whistle. I turned down an alley which I knew was a mistake because I didn't see anyone in sight. I started to run and the person behind started running too. I ran into a building and locked the door. I turned and saw I was inside a house. Quietly walking to, what I'm guessing is the bedroom. Once seeing it is a bedroom, I hide in the closet and try to hold my breath.

"Ding dong, I know you can hear me. Open up the door. I only want to play a little. Ding dong, you can't keep me waiting. It's already too late for you to try and run away." The man said. "Ding dong, here I come to find you. Hurry up and run. Let's play a little game and have fun. Ding dong, where is it you've gone to? Do you think you've won? Our game of hide and seek has just begun." He said.

I was getting more scared than I've ever been. To the point where there's tears building up in my eyes.

"You're not very good at hiding. Just wait, you can't hide from me." He continued. "Knock knock, I am at your door now. I am coming in. No need for me to ask permission. Knock knock, I'm inside the room now. Where is it you've hid? Our game of hide and seek's about to end. I'm coming closer. Looking underneath the bed but you're not there. I wonder, could you be inside the closet?" He said, opening the closet door and standing in front of me. "Ding dong I have found you. Ding dong, you were hiding here. Now you're it. Ding dong, finally found you dear. Now you're it." He said, grabbing me.

I was trying to get out of his grip but it was no use. He's too strong.

"Ding dong, looks like I have won. Now you're it. Ding dong, pay the consequence." He said, smirking.

"Y/N." I heard a voice. "Y/N, wake up!" The voice yelled.

I bolted up into a sitting position, breathing heavily. I looked beside me and saw Taehyung.

"What happened?" I asked.

"You were having a bad dream." He told me. "Do you want to talk to me about it?" He asked.

"It was about Jungkook but in the dream, I couldn't place his name. He was chasing me. He was singing this song. We were in a game of hide and seek." I said, tears falling down. "He found me in the closet. I woke up before finding out what he was going to do to me." I said. "I'm scared Taehyung." I said, crying.

He pulled me against him and rubbed my back. I cried into his shoulder, wrapping my arms around him.

"It's okay Y/N, I'm right here. Nothings going to happen to you." He said, calmly.

"I feel like someone else is going to die. I don't want anyone else to die Taehyung." I said.

"Shhh...if that happens, it won't be because of you. All of this is on Jungkook. He's causing all of it. Not you. No one's death is because of you. They'll say the same thing." He said, putting both hands on my jaw and made me look at him.

"But I feel like it is my fault. Whoever is around me, dies. Yoongi died. Lisa died. He's going to kill someone else, I know he is but I don't know who." I said. "He already tried to kill you in that accident. He's going to get worse knowing you didn't die." I said. "I don't want anything happening to you, Da-eun, my parents, your parents or your sister. He knows what will hurt me and knows how to make me go to him. He knows I'll go to him if he threatens to hurt someone else I care about." I said.

"He may not know I'm still alive." He said.

"He's always watching me Taehyung. I know he watches me every second of every day. He knows you're still alive." I said. "I know him. Better than anybody. After what he did to me." I said.

"I won't let him do anything to you, okay? Neither will the Detective." He said.

"But what if you get hurt? What if he gets hurt? Or worse, what if you two gets killed? Protecting me?" I asked. "I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing people died protecting me. I don't want anyone to die. I don't want to lose you Taehyung. Even though you can't remember a lot from before the accident, that didn't change how much I love you." I said, crying.

"We're not going to die, okay? And if we did, it wouldn't be your fault. So don't blame yourself, alright?" He said.

"That's easier said than done." I said. "I'm sorry I'm getting emotional but all of this is too much for me to handle." I said.

"Don't be sorry Y/N. You have every right to get emotional. You're human. No matter who you are or how strong you are, you'll still get emotional. It's alright to cry. Man or woman. Young or old. It's normal to cry. It's not a weakness to cry. It means you're human. All humans gets emotional and cry. Even the ones that says they don't cry. They cry in private where no one sees them doing it." He said.

I didn't say anything just hugged him tightly, crying into his shoulder.

"Taehyung, can you stay here with me? I'm scared to be by myself." I said.

"Yeah, I'll stay here with you." He said, laying down next to me.

I fell back asleep, hoping I don't have another bad dream. Actually, another nightmare.
