Mr.clown

Chapter 13

Mr.clown's grin disappeared soon as he heard his name slip out of Jhope's lips. For the first time in decades someone was able to leave Mr.clown speechless in his own circus. Jhope slowly put the gun down. His eyes directly staring at Mr.clown

Jhope : You used to be the main clown when this circus was opened right...? You were one of the youngest working here...without much experiences you were still praised for your acts, your hard work and natural gift of being an entertainer...you were so loved by the audience...by the time everyone grew attached to you and vice versa. This place became your home and owners and workers your family...aren't I right...?

It felt like the whole roles were switched. Someone else were making Mr.clown tense with words...

Jhope: you were the life of this circus. Yet no one in the circus know your real name. They only know the identity you made for them to know was still is Mr.clown isn't it...?

MR.CLOWN : WHO ARE YOU...?

His voice didn't shake neither it was nervous but the eagerness in his voice made Jhope smirk. Seeing that Mr.clown clenched his jaw tightly. For the first time someone wasn't trembling in his presence . Someone wasn't scared of him.

Jhope : where are my friends JEON JUNGKOOK...?

Jhope repeated his name , louder on purpose. Mr.clowns eyes grew darker than they already were

MR.CLOWN : I ASKED WHO ARE YOU..?

Jhope: I asked you too...where is my friends..?

Within a blink of an eye Mr.clown aka JEON JUNGKOOK was standing in front of the great reporter JUNG HOSEOK

MR.CLOWN : YOU PATHETIC HUMAN

Mr.clown grabbed Jhope's neck chocking. His face muscles started to twitch as he was struggling to breath

MR.CLOWN : ANSWER ME WITHOUT TALKING BACK ! YOU MIGHT JUST LIVE

Jhope let out a dry chuckle

Jhope : I...If you k..k..kill me...h...h...how w..will you g...get your answer huh...?

He forced out a laugh although he was gasping for air. Mr.clown digged his nails on Jhope's skin making him hiss in pain. He pushed Jhope by throat before letting go of his neck completely. Jungkook's nails scratched his skin in the process. Jhope fell on his back..coughing. His chest was burning inside when he put his hand on his neck , felt the same burning pain because of the scratches.

Jhope : W..W...Where are my f..friends...?

Jhope was coughing while talking

JUNGKOOK : YOU BELIEVE I WILL ANSWER WHEN YOU ANSWER ME...?

He wasn't shouting anymore but his voice remained threatening

Jhope : A...A...An answer for an answer...

JUNGKOOK : I CAN KILL YOU..

Jhope : y..you wouldn't have let me go if you wanted to kill me...

Jungkook stared at Jhope as he got up from dirt. His hands clenched into a fist tightly. He wasn't liking the person in front of him a bit..Jhope stared back at Jungkook without any hesitation. He knew he had played his cards right. It was clear on Jungkook's face

Jungkook scoffed all of a sudden

JUNGKOOK : YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR FRIENDS THAT BADLY..? FINE I'LL SHOW YOU. YOU WILL JOIN THEM SOON ANYWAY...

When he clapped his hand something bright flashed behind Jhope and turned around. Every muscle in Jhope's body froze. His eyes opened wide. His heart started to pound fast against his ribcage to the point he could hear his own heartbeat. He tried to speak but his lips trembled. His hands started to sweat. His throat felt dry. But it didn't stop there. To make him feel worse, his eyes landed on his dear friend sitting among the unknown faces..

Jhope : E..EVAN...

His knees felt weak as he stared at her blank face, staring straight ahead of her without moving an inch

JUNGKOOK : HAPPY NOW...?

He looked to his left and saw Jungkook standing right next to him. Jhope's hands closed to tight fists.

JUNGKOOK : NOW ITS YOUR TURN..

Jhope : what did you do to her..?

He grabbed Jungkook's collar. His eyes filled with anger..

Jhope : I swear...ahhhhhhhh

Jhope immediately removed his hand when he felt his hands burn , as if he just put his hands on flame. And to his horror, when he looked at his trembled hands his palm had burn Mark's. His skin torn and peeling bit by bit

What just happened ...?

JUNGKOOK : YOU WANT TO JOIN MY AUDIENCE WITHOUT ANSWERING..?

Jhope looked up from his hands. He clenched his jaw tight when he saw Jungkook was grinning

Jhope : you call this an audience..? This is torture!! You are imprisoning them here...and you are grinning happily because of it. You have stolen their freedom! their happiness. Have you ever thought about their loved ones...? You had a family too...? Didn't you..? How can you do this to someone else's family..?

Jungkook's grin disappear , his eyes turned into a shade of red. His veins filled with anger

Jhope : just because you have power doesn't means that you can control someone's life. Do you even feel guilty about what you are doing to them..??

JUNGKOOK : SILENCE...!!!

His voice echoed in the quiet place. The thunders roared with him , as if they felt his rage. The ground beneath their feet trembled for a moment before it stopped. Soo sound of rain replaced the place of silence

JUNGKOOK : WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EVEN KNOW ABOUT ME..?
