25: Let The Truth Better Be Unknown

"Mm?" I groan as my body gave up. My eyes were closed all along? What's... happening? Was I sleeping all this time? The warmth of the sheets and the softness drove me into an ecstasy that couldn't be explained in words. It was such a comfort.

I gathered the courage to finally open my eyes and what I saw next, confused me.

Purple curtains...?

Not again!

Am I in his room again? Woah, he really did save me.

"What the fuck." I gasped when I looked at the time. It was 12 a.m. sharp. Did I just...

"O-Oh no... I need to go back into that street now! How could I let him on loose like that?! I must be crazy to faint in such a situation..." Gulping repeatedly, I tried to make my way out of the heated blankets when something struck me. The silence... Such a loud silence.

Where is he?

My mouth parted slightly as I stood there in fear.

Did he... Did he get killed...?

The silence, almost no commotion out of the windows, and no phone calls from my brothers bothered me the most. It was weird for them not to call me when I was out too late. Everything seems to fall apart.

What shocks me the most is that, Jisoo... How could she...? How could Jisoo leave me and join hands with such monsters? Wasn't she my best friend? Why did she betray me? This doesn't seem to be right.

"Get back in the covers."

A raspy yet deep voice shook me out of my bizarre thoughts as I was gripped once again, on the brink of danger. When I looked at the door, I saw him standing infront of me.

The Joker...

Once again, with his alluring aura, darkness, and mystery seeping out of him along with the coldness that made my warm body feel the urge to wrap itself up in the blankets. His face. Oh, his face... Filled with the colors of a psychic villain and his black suit and white shirt were smudged with red hand-prints that showed the signs of struggle someone had, before him.

"W-Whom did you kill this time...?" I shivered slightly, unable to look at the blood on him as I proceeded to look away uncomfortably, balling my fists.

"Hm? Guess."

While my heart was thumping against my chest, all he did was lean against the doorframe, cross his hands, and smirk with wide eyes, observing my panting chest.

I'm seriously so afraid of this freak sometimes.

"Move away." He commanded as he walked out the door before returning back but with a fainted Jisoo this time.

"J-Jisoo? Why is she here?" I meant to ask what happened to her. But everything happened so fast that I couldn't enquire. He ushered me before pushing her pale body onto the bed and covering her with the warmth of soft mattresses that once surrounded me.

A wave of jealousy swayed over me. It wasn't that I was jealous of Jisoo, it was just... I had tried to do so much for him and I couldn't even get a second of respect while the others, who barely knew him, were treated like princesses.

"Why am I even here?" Rolling my eyes, I looked through the window, at the peaceful night. Looks like he managed well all by himself, against the criminals.

Just as I stood to walk out of the house, my feet were lifted off the floor as a yelp escaped my dry lips and he carried me to some room.

THUD!
