No Longer Afraid

Enough Is Enough

A large zombie had jumped out at you, catching you completely by surprise. You turned to him and said, "Daren, I wish you would stop doing that!"

He smirks, "It's what I do. Jump scares, and I must say I do them really well if I can make you jump, little girl." He pats your head.

You glare at him and swat his hand away. "Don't touch me, Daren. I have asked you many times not to touch me. This is not the area you are supposed to be in, and that is why I jumped."

He shrugs his shoulders, "So?"

You roll your eyes, frustrated. " Since I'm here, Daren, do you need any repairs or touch-ups?"

He steps very close to you and strokes the side of your face, "Little girl, you can touch me up any time."

You start to pull away, and Hobi holds onto your arm, pulling you behind him.

"I think that's enough, Daren. She asked you not to touch her."

He smirks at Hobi, "Just who do you think you are? I decide when enough is enough, and with sweet little Jae, it is never . . ."

He didn't get to finish that comment as Hobi had him by the shirt and shoved him against the wall.

"What you were doing is called sexual harassment and assault. If she doesn't file a report, I most certainly will!"

Daren laughs and says, "You can't do anything."

You gently touched Hobi's shoulder, "Please let him go. He's not worth it."

He looks over Hobi's shoulder at you and says, "Baby, I'm more than worth it. You just need to let me show you." He winks at you and roves his eyes over your body.

Hobi tightens his grip on Daren's shirt. One of the security staff monitoring the house had sent someone in. The security officer steps to Hobi and asks, "Is there a problem here?"

Another man follows him closely. "Mr. Jung, is there a problem here?" He positions himself between Hobi and the other security officer.

"This man was harassing and touching Miss Jae without her permission and continued to do so after being told not to."

With frustration, the site security officer says to Daren, "Not again, Daren. You have been told before to keep your hands to yourself."

Daren looks at him and smiles. "What are you gonna do about it, huh?" he smirks. "Tell the boss?"

Hobi's security says, "We did just that."

Daren pales, "What? You did?"

The other officer nods, "Yes, Daren, he did."

He reaches out and grabs Daren's arm, saying, "Come on. I  was told to escort you off the property."

As he is being led out, he glares back at you, "You will pay for this, you stupid little . . ."

Hobi glares at him and starts to step towards him. Daren shuts up and quietly goes with security.

Hobi thanks his team's security and then turns to you. He takes your hand and asks, "Are you okay?"

You smile, looking up at him. "Yeah, I'm okay. Daren is one of the brain-dead zombies I was talking about." You and Hobi burst out laughing. You take his hand in yours. "Come on, we aren't done yet."

In the next room, fake bodies lie on the floor of what looks like a former living room. Suddenly, a werewolf jumps up from behind the couch and growls loudly.

He stops and says, "Oh, Hi Jae. I'm glad you're here. My ear fell off again." He hands you his ear.

"Min, this is Tae's friend Hobi." Sitting your bag down, you get out the special bottle of glue to reattach his ear."

Min looks at Hobi, "Hi, man." Hobi smiles and nods, speechless at the sharp teeth he sees in Min's mouth.

"Min, how did it happen this time?" you ask. 

Before he can answer, a voice is heard amongst the bodies, and a girl stands up. "Sorry, Jaejae. I got carried away and accidentally pulled his ear off."

He says, "She tried to bite it off!"

"I did not!" she says, "It was an accidental biting." They both laugh at each other, and you hear Hobi start to laugh, too.

 "Hobi, this little scamp is Jinni, Min's kid sister." 

She smiles, "Yeah, kid sister, by only two minutes, we're twins. Hi Hobi." 

Hobi smiles and gives a polite, small bow. "Hello, Jinni."

You ask her if she needs any repairs after the mock werewolf attack.

"I need my blood pack refilled." Pulling it from her hidden pocket, she says, "I think I need a new one."

You take a closer look and see that the side of the bag has a small tear in it. "Yes, you need a new one. They don't make them like they used to. I'll have to go get one out of the shed."

You start to walk away when Hobi says, "Hey, wait!"

"You can stay here. I'll be right back."

Grinning with a mouth full of fangs, Min says, "It's ok, I won't bite."

Hobi swallows hard and turns to go with you. "Um, Jaejae, can I come with you?" But you have already left the room, and he isn't about to go out there without you.
