CHASED BY PAST || JJK || FANFICTION

•|Chapter 21|•

In the dimly lit CCTV room, the tension was almost palpable. The hospital staff and the man responsible for security were all gathered, their eyes fixed on the screens displaying various camera feeds. The doctor, still shaken by Jungkook's presence and the looming threat, stood in the corner, her silence a testament to her fear.

Jungkook, his anger simmering beneath the surface, sat in a chair, his jaw clenched tightly. He knew that losing control of his emotions would only hinder his pursuit of Y/n. His bodyguards flanked him, their imposing figures a stark contrast to the small room.

The person in charge of the CCTV cameras worked diligently, toggling between different feeds, searching for any sign of Jungkook and his bodyguards. Every flicker of movement on the screens sent a jolt of anticipation through the room. The rhythmic hum of the equipment filled the air, a stark contrast to the heavy silence that hung over the room.

Minutes felt like hours as they anxiously scanned the footage, searching for a trace of Y/n or any indication of her presence. Jungkook's gaze remained fixed on the screens, his hands clenched into fists in his lap. The doctor, though terrified, couldn't tear her eyes away, her professional demeanor crumbling in the face of the situation.

The room fell into a hushed silence as everyone's eyes fixated on the screen. The doctor's anxiety deepened as she realized the gravity of the situation. She swallowed hard, her voice a mere whisper, "It's her... Y/n."

Jungkook's jaw clenched so tightly that the muscles in his face seemed ready to snap. He had been relentless in his pursuit, and now, seeing Y/n on the screen, he felt a mixture of frustration, anger, and a strange sense of satisfaction that he was closing in on her. He didn't utter a word, but the intensity of his gaze on the screen spoke volumes.

One of Jungkook's bodyguards broke the silence, his voice low and respectful, "Sir, she's headed towards the exit."

Without taking his eyes off the screen, Jungkook nodded, his mind racing. "We can't let her get away again. Move."

His bodyguards sprang into action, their disciplined training evident as they followed Jungkook out of the CCTV room. The doctor, still visibly shaken, watched them go, her heart heavy with a sense of foreboding.

As they rushed through the hospital's corridors, the hunt for Y/n intensified. The sight of her on the screen had ignited a new determination in Jungkook. He knew that this might be his last chance to confront the past and reclaim what he believed was rightfully his.

[ Meanwhile Y/n ]

Y/n had found herself in the heart of a bustling shopping mall, surrounded by gleaming storefronts and shoppers bustling about. Her decision to exchange her valuable earrings for cash had given her the means to purchase new clothes, but it also added to the weight of her fear. The diamond earrings, worth a staggering $200,000, were a symbol of the life she had left behind, and she couldn't help but feel their absence.

As she moved through the mall, her face remained emotionless, a façade she had perfected to mask her anxiety. The thought that Jungkook might be searching for her sent shivers down her spine. She knew she had to remain hidden, blend in with the crowd, and not draw any attention to herself.

Y/n entered a clothing store, her steps deliberate and cautious. She browsed the racks of clothes, trying to find something that would help her blend in and not stand out. A sense of urgency hung over her as she selected a few items and made her way to the fitting rooms.

Inside the fitting room, she changed into one of the outfits she had picked. It was a simple, nondescript ensemble – a pair of jeans and a plain T-shirt. She looked at herself in the mirror, her expression still emotionless.
