Chapter 44

The fire haired guy is driving. Jeongguk silent beside me. His hand on mine. Stroking it gently on the palm. I watch out the window, through the awake cities. Apparently the fire haired guy is sweet, he bought many snack and fruit for me when he saw I was crying on Jeongguk. How embarrassing, crying on his new suit that is now soaked with my mascara. I curse myself. I froze, wide eyes and concentrate again on Jeongguk's stroking finger without looking. He was drawing a heart. I blush uncontrollable. He kept repeating the outline heart on my palm and it's making me feel good. I was too shy to stare at him. I was processing why he is doing that. Why he is doing that to me, to my heart, I couldn't take it anymore, so I gently take my hand away and the stubborn him takes it again and puts it on his lap, and continue drawing on my hand. He kept repeating the same outline until I finally got a hold of it, he was drawing an alphabet Y, as in why. I was confused and stare at him.

"why what?" I whisper. His eyes were beaming now.

"you understood that, which means you got the heart." damn him. I looked away, flustered. He then did something only my inner me could explode now, he grabbed my chin, turn it to him, to his eyes that are searching for mine, to our eyes locked together. We stared for too long until the fire haired guy clears his throat. I break free from his grip and look out the window again, with a heated face. "sorry, Ignus. You know, I couldn't resist not to stare at something heavenly." Stop it, Jeon, for gods sake. I look at the fire haired guy whom is called Ignus. It literally means fire, like how I call him, like his red hair. I didn't bother asking anything about the guy. Apparently he is only working under Jeongguk's mission.

The car comes to a firm stop, me and Jeongguk firmly got pushed forward I had to gasp aloud. Jeongguk is as confused as I'm. Jeongguk's eyes shoot to Ignus who was breathing heavily with fared nose.

"What were you thinking—oh." Jeongguk stops mid talking after staring on the windshield. I move close to him, peering.

Oh. My. God.

Six men is standing in front of the car. And more behind them. Each one of them have a bat in their tattooed hand. They look scary in the pouring rain. I stare at Jeongguk whom is clenching his jawline.

"what are they thinking?" Jeongguk fixed the words as he was glaring so hard at them. A hand banged on my window, I screamed, bowing with both hands over my ear. Jeongguk's hand are on my back now, pressing me towards his embrace. "run them over or fight them, Ignus? You choose. After all, you bought this upon yourself." Ignus is in flames now. Dark eyes that wish for death. On the other side Jeongguk is calm.

"beat 'em. Bare hands." Jeongguk nods.

"Wise choice." Jeongguks now looks at me. "you stay in the car, okay?" before I could say anything else, they already dart out the car and Ignus locked the car. I gulped. Be safe. I tell Jeongguk in my heart. Not so long, everyone started to scream, roar, shouting curse words, hard and death punches, death warnings. I stare at the box of snacks and decided to eat some strawberries.

Jeongguk

Ignus was punching the conscious out of them. Meanwhile me on the other side punching the blood out of them. I'm faster with gun and knife, but this is also a good way for them to suffer more. They should have known better. Knowing not to search for trouble when my girl is here. A guy strikes at me when I dodged and got a big hold of his shirt, putting him beside his bruised friend, beneath me and punching him til I see him bleed, begging, slowly losing consciousness. The rain pouring on me, on my face, is giving me strength to punch harder. A scream breaks through the fight roars. I snap my eyes to the car, someone broke the window. I got up and ran to him, blood boiling. He opened the door and I see Angie's legs, feet kicking him away. Before he got a hold of her, I grab his arm.

"wrong thinking." I say before closing the door hard on his arm. He cries out. I close the door, put him beneath me and beat the shit out of him. "You shouldn't had had even gone close to the car." I kept beating him until Ignus stopped me.

"He is out, Jeon. We are done here." I stare at the unconscious bodies around us, on the hard wet ground. I nod. Standing up, opening the door and sat beside Angie whom with her wide eyes staring right back at me. Right, she saw me beating the moron up.

Angelina

I was astonished. He was bloody. The smell of blood and sweats, suit soaked in blood instead of rain. He stares at me with tired eyes. I hesitated at first, but I move my hand to his face, and wiped the blood off under his eye.

"these blood aren't mine."

"ew." I cringed, wiped my hand on his shoulder, disgusted. He chuckles.

Jeongguk told Ignus to park somewhere. It was so dark I can't see anything but only hearing the drop of rains above the car. Jeongguk gets out and opens the door for me with his hand out for mine to grab. I accept the offer and follow him. Feeling the sand beneath me, I looked up to feel the fresh and cold air with the sound of the beach.

"Why are we here?" I asked. He leads me toward the water.

"Take your shoes off." He starts to unbuckle his own shoe. I did the same. He threw them aside and grabs my hand.

"What–"

"I haven't gotten to dance with you at the ball. Taehyung is going to have a purple eye. Might as well the other blue one too."

"Oh, my god. Don't say that." That did made me laugh. I stare at him again. "What Taehyung did–" I stopped talking when Jeongguk shut his eyes and groans.

"It's our moment, darling. It's me and you. Us two." He shakes his head. "Don't bring him up now. Not today." I smile and nod.

"Alright. Our moment before you disappear again, yes." He opens his mouth and closes it again. He was still staring at me. I smile. "It's what you are good at, don't be offended." He sways me and got closer to my ear.

"I promise I won't this time."

"Who were those guys anyways?" I changed the topic.

"Probably some people who hate Ignus." He shrugged and I didn't ask any more questions.

We fell silent. Only the beach and rains were not silent.
