NO WAY OUT | KTH Yandere (Obsessed With You)

Chapter 20

Hurt

To say Jina was panicking would be an understatement. She was feeling helpless. Her best friend had just been raped. And she wasn't there for her.

But she couldn't leave now. Not when she was so close to getting all the information she needed on Taehyung.
Jina was in Daegu. Apparently, that's where Taehyung was from.

A few hours after her fight with Jungkook, she was at a cafe near her house. Sitting there with a tall latte, which had gotten cold, because she hadn't touched it since it arrived. She was deep in her thoughts. Trying to figure out why the investigator suddenly backed off.

And that's when her phone rang. An unknown number.

"Hello." Said a female voice from the other end. If Jina wasn't a bit distracted, she would have noticed that the voice was little shaky.

"Yes? Who's this?" Jina asked, quirking up an eyebrow.

"I'm Mr. Choi's wife. Am I talking to Ms. Yoon Jina?"

"Yes. That's me."

"Can we meet Ms. Yoon? It's very important." She said, sobbing.

"Uh- yes. Yeah, sure. Is everything alright, Mrs. Choi?"

"Please I need to meet you." She said, crying and Jina rushed out of the cafe while still on call.

Jina arrived at the diner on the outskirts of the city where Mrs. Choi was waiting for her. It was kind of in the middle of nowhere and Jina was worried if she made the right decision. I mean, she practically got a phone call from an unknown number and some woman who claimed to be Mr. Choi's wife. What if this was a trap?

She relaxed a bit when she saw a woman in her mid-thirties waiting for her at the diner. It was pretty much empty and she was the only woman there.

"Mrs. Choi?" Jina called as she walked towards her.

"Hi, Ms. Yoon." She greeted, her eyes all puffy and red.

"Is everything okay? You don't look alright."

"M- My husband. Yo- You hired him to look into some guy named Kim Taehyung." Mrs. Choi was trying to hold back her tears.

"Yes. Yes, I did, but he backed out in the morning today-"

"He's dead, Ms. Yoon." She burst into tears. "He's dead. He-"

"What?" Jina couldn't believe what she heard.

"The police say it's suicide. They think it's suicide. But I know it's not. He would never leave me and Jihoon behind like that. He would never do that to us."

"But I just met him, I don't understand-"

"He was being threatened." Mrs. Choi said and Jina was completely alerted by this.

"Threatened? By whom?"

"I don't know. But it happened right after he took on your case. He would get phone calls and after the calls he would get really tense and he would leave the house. He started acting weird, he was never like this. I know my husband." She sniffled. "I knew something was wrong when he told me to contact you if something happened to him. I tried asking him what it was but he said everything was alright and now-" She was crying uncontrollably so Jina moved to her side of the table to comfort her.

"He gave me this address and your contact number. He told me to tell you that you'll find everything about Kim Taehyung if you go here." She said, handing out a piece of paper to Jina.

"LEE FOSTER HOME, DAEGU." Read the piece of paper.

"Thank you, Mrs. Choi. I'll get to the bottom of this and we'll bring Mr. Choi to justice. I promise." She said, softly hugging her.

Jina stayed there with her for a while as Mrs. Choi told her how this diner used to be their getaway spot and how he had proposed to her here, reminiscing the memories they had made within these dim lit walls.

"I should get going now. Jihoon is with his grandma, he thinks his Dadda is out on a business trip." She said, wiping off her tears. "Please let me know if you find anything."

"I will." Jina nodded.

"And Ms. Yoon, he never backed off from the case. Maybe if he had, things would have been different. But he loved doing his job." Mrs. Choi said with a sad smile as she was leaving.

And Jina was left there, feeling guilty and  she felt like she had just ruined a family, like she was responsible for someone's death. If she wasn't so obsessed with finding the truth about Taehyung, none of this would have happened. But now she was even more worried. First, Hoseok and now Mr. Choi. This was no coincidence. Taehyung certainly had something to do with this and with no one believing her, she had to get to the bottom of this on her own.

She got on the first train to Daegu and checked into a hotel near the Foster home. It was pretty late when she got there, so she would have to wait till the morning to visit the Foster home.

But now, after she talked to you, all she could think about was getting back to you. You were clearly unsafe with Taehyung and she knew she had to hurry back to you.

-

"Princess, I'm home." Taehyung walked inside with a bag in his hand. A bag that was filled with ointment, painkillers and band aids to treat your wounds and bruises, that he had caused.

Upon hearing no reply from you. He panicked. Did you leave him? Did you run away from him?

"Y/N!! WHERE ARE YOU?" He shouted, as he barged towards your bedroom. But his eyes immediately softened when he saw you sleeping on the bed, cuddled up into the blanket. "My little kitten." He murmured to himself, smiling at your small figure.

"I'm so sorry, princess. I love you so much." He said, patting your head.

He took the blanket off of you gently and turned you to lay you down on your back. He took the ointment out and started applying it on your lip that had been bruised. He bit down too hard on your lower lip while kissing you.

"I shouldn't have done this to you. Please forgive me." His eyes were all teary as he continued to apply the ointment on your bruises and wounds.

He didn't wanna hurt you. He loved you a lot but on some days he became this monster he had no control over and today was one such day.
He deserved punishment and he did punish himself. While he was out, he cut himself. His arms and legs were filled with cuts, deep sharp cuts. That's how he punished himself and he didn't even bother treating the cuts, he let the blood run free. He too must feel the pain.

He hurt you. He vowed to protect you but he hurt you.

He only hoped that you would forgive him.

He planted kisses on your lips and your forehead as tears flowed down his cheeks.

"Please don't ever leave me, princess. I really won't be able to live without you. Please, love."

He climbed onto the bed and slept beside you. Pulling you closer to him, he nudged his nose with yours and connected your foreheads.

"I'd kill and die for you, my love. Anything to make you happy."
