Hush [Semi-Active]

Ch. 47

There was a knock on the door as I sat on the sofa with Jung Kook sitting beside me to my right. Jung Kook pauses the movie we were watching and tells me to stay seated as he got up and walked over to the door. There was a second knock before he turned around and put a finger to his lips, signaling for me to stay quiet and let him speak. On the third knock, he opens up and we see a police officer holding a white piece of paper in his right hand.

"Hello, my name is Officer Moon Eun Hyeok." He spoke in monotone. Standing at six-foot-one, medium build with a broad face, almond shaped eyes and a beauty mark just under the corner of his right eye.

"Hello Officer, my name is Jeon Jung Kook and this is my girlfriend Kim Ji Eun." Jung Kook steps aside to show the officer that I was present. "How can I help you?"

"I won't take too much of your guys' time. I just need to ask a few questions."

   Officer Eun Hyeok takes a deep breath before exhaling. He wore no expression.

"Have you seen this young woman?" Officer Eun Hyeok flips over the paper. I inhale sharply as I see a photo of So Hee along with some personal information underneath. Jung Kook turns around and looks at me.

"Isn't that your friend So Hee?"

   The policeman lays his eyes on me. I was apprehensive to answer because if I said something Jung Kook didn't approve, he would punish me later on.

"Miss Kim, do you know her?"

   I nod my head and the policeman looks at Jung Kook.

"Is it alright if I come in?"

"Of course." Jung Kook welcome the policeman. Officer Eun Hyeok pulls out a small notepad and clicks his pen while sitting himself across from Jung Kook and I.

"Miss Kim, how do you know Choi So Hee?"

"So Hee and I are best friends."

"How long have you two been best friends?"

"5 years."

"Alright." Officer Eun Hyeok writes down some notes and looks back at me. "When was the last time you spoke to Choi So Hee?"

"Last week. I assumed she was busy with college classes that's why she never called me." I knit my brows together as if I was confused by the whole thing. "Why do you ask? What happened to her?"

   Officer Eun Hyeok gave me that look. Where he doesn't want to tell you any bad news. He took in a small deep breath before breaking it gently. Jung Kook holds my hand and puts on an act in front of the cop. I couldn't help but play along as well and I felt terrible for it.

"Choi So Hee was reported missing by her parents."

"What?!" I exclaimed. "No. No she isn't." I begin to tear up. "Babe," I look over at Jung Kook. "We have to go find her."

"Miss Ji Eun," Officer Eun Hyeok stops me from standing. "Please. I need you to be calm and give me more information about your friend. The more information we have on her, the sooner we can find her."

"You're not going to find her. Jung Kook killed her!" I point at him.

"Pardon?" Officer Eun Hyeok stands and immediately pulls out his gun, aiming it at Jung Kook who stood up just as quick and grabbed the pen. Jung Kook uses me as a human shield and holds the pen deep in my neck.

"I'll kill her if you do anything!" Jung Kook presses deeper and i wince at the pain. His tight grip keeping me locked against his body.

"Please! He's keeping me here against my will! He killed the others-"
