Spill Blood (Lomon Fanfiction)

Chapter 10

In the end, Lomon and Yeji went to Busan and I stayed behind. I tried to tell myself that it didn't matter, but it did. I couldn't help but wonder what they were doing. Lomon tried to text me  telling me his activity however, I couldn't respond. I was embarrassed by my jealousy that exploded on him. I know when he comes back, I will have to tell him about my feeling.

As I lay against the soft pillow, I was already close to falling asleep before hearing the sounds of my passcode being enter. My body froze knowing no one has the access to it. Not even Lomon and Joon-Gi. My heart race in instant thinking of the worst possibility.

"Haejin~" Hearing someone called out my name I gasp in the familiarity of his voice. The stalker was here and I was alone in my apartment. Getting up quickly I hid under my bed and reach for my phone to call Lomon. He was the only one I can think off. But to my frustration, he doesn't answer.

"Haejin I know you're in here" He talk eerily as my whole body began to sweats. Clasping my mouth, I was shivering from head to toe. Praying to God I was waiting for miracle to happen.

When I hear him enter the bathroom, I slowly crawled out from under the bed, trying to be silent as possible. Running towards the front door I was about to make it. However, the man spotted me and lunged forward. He hold the scalp of my hair, throwing me to the coffee table. Knowing the emergency button was there, I quickly press it.

"I told you Haejin, you should stop playing games with me" I could feel a loud sting on my cheek, the slap was the awakening sound that echoed through my apartment. Trying to break free from his grip, his fingernail sunk into my skin making it harder to break free.

"L-let go!" I scream as loud as I can, however he hover above me clasping my mouth with his hand. My leg immediately kick him between his pant which caused him to groan. When his hold loosen up I immediately got up, but only to be push to the floor. I moaned in pain when my head collided against the marble tile causing my
vision to be dizzy.

"Stupid girl, you need to be taught a lesson" He didn't show mercy and punch me repeatedly on my stomach and face which cause my body to jerk each time the impact landed. I was hurting badly, and I could tell I was losing my life soon.

"H-Hae -Jung" It was the name Joon-Gi mentioned before. Hae-Jong little brother.

He stopped mid air when he heard what I whisper. His eyes flicker in sadness before realizing what he had done to me.

"No! What are you doing to her?!" He screamed at hisself before slapping hisself in panic. From my half lidded eyes he was talking to hisself and muttering words that only he understand.

"I-I-I'm so sorry Haejin.." He apologize as if he didn't understand what was going on. But it was too late, blood spluttered from my mouth. As he heard footsteps coming he walk out of the apartment in a hurried leaving my soulless body.

"HAEJIN!!!"

When I heard the scream I saw Joon-Gi coming towards me in distraught but it was too late. My eyes close and the darkness consume me.

When I woke up, I was in a hospital bed with bandages and tubes all over me. At first, I was disoriented and confused, but as the memories came flooding back, I started to panic. I had been attacked and I was lucky I made it alive.

When the nurse walked into my room she smiled at me. "Oh good, you're awake. We were starting to worry," she said warmly. "You've been out for a while, but I'm happy to report that you're doing much better now. You have some bruises, but nothing that won't heal with time."

I breathed a sigh of relief, but the fear in my gut didn't go away. I knew that I couldn't stay in the hospital forever, and if the stalker was still out, I will still be in danger.

"I'll get the detective to come" The nurse reported before walking out of the room. I couldn't help but feel relieved. As soon as Joon-Gi entered the room. I quickly open my arms and hugged him tightly.

"I was so scared, Joon-Gi," I whispered softly. "I don't feel safe anymore. He attacked me and I don't know when he will come back."

"It's okay, Haejin," Joon-Gi responded, trying to soothe me. "I'm here now and I will make sure nothing happens to you."

As I held onto Joon-Gi tightly, I couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. It was like I was back in his arms again, the same way I used to be when we were dating. But as much as I wanted to believe that I could trust him, I knew it wasn't that simple.

"I'll do anything in my power to get that bastard" When he saw the bruises on my body he was ready to kill the stalker with his bare hands. He had never felt this angry before but he knew why it arise. I couldn't help but feel grateful for his presence and his quick action. As he stay for another hour, I laid my head on the hospital bed knowing that I needed rest. As I went to sleep I heard two men talking in the room

Lomon started, "Joon-Gi, I wanted to thank you for being there for Haejin."

Joon-Gi replied, "Of course. It's my job to protect the victims. And, well, Haejin is more than just a case to me." He sighed.

"I shouldn't have left Haejin alone. It was a mistake that should never happen." I could hear how guilty Lomon sounds. He almost had a heart attack knowing I was hospitalized. A regret that he felt ever since arriving back to Seoul.

"Don't worry, you know how strong she is" Joon-Gi responded.

"Do you still have feelings for her?" He asked.

Joon-Gi hesitated before answering, "I don't know. Maybe. But, I don't want to complicate things. Our relationship didn't end well."

Lomon nodded in understanding. "I know, but I can see how much you care for her."

Just then, I stirred and opened my eyes, looking at the two men who were talking. "Lomon? You are here" I asked pretending I didn't hear their conversation. Joon-Gi left the room giving us some some space. Lomon immediately rushed towards me.

"I'm sorry Haejin. I'm an awful guy. I should have been there for you. Joon-Gi told me if he was late for another minute you won't make it" Lomon starts to cry when he recalled what Joon-Gi had said. I laid there frozen not believing Lomon was shedding tears for me. Holding his hand, I squeeze them gently.

"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have lash out that way to you." He shook his head thinking it wasn't my fault.

"Lomon, I'm just happy you're here" I spoke, even making it out of death I knew my feelings still flutter for him.

"And I'm happy you are awake. I shouldn't have went with Yeji to Busan. She lied about her dad being sick just to get me away from you" He explained. I couldn't help but to be angry at Yeji, she was immature and couldn't let go of Lomon. But I know it can't be helped. Because I would act the same way. Holding his hand tightly, I told him it was fine.

I felt a sudden sense of warmth and safety coursing through my veins as Lomon and I talk about the things we used to do.

"I still can't believe you ran away from a puppy." He laughed thinking about the memories we used to share.

"Is not my fault! I was scare to get bitten"

"Really? You're way bigger than the puppy" Lomon retorts

"Excuse me? Are you saying I'm fat?" I asked, question by his statement.

"Women these days, always like to flip men words" He rolled his eyes as I began to chuckle. It felt good to have this moment, talking and laughing as if we didn't have a serious matter in hand.

Lomon glance at me before tucking the strands of my hair to the back. I blush knowing how electrifying his touch is. As I looked into his eyes he leaned in and our lips met.

It was everything I had ever hoped for. The pain and fear faded away as we shared this moment together. Our lips molded into one and my hand grip the collar of his shirt, wanting to feel him as much as I can. It was like a dream that I didn't want to wake up from. Lomon hold my waist delicately afraid that I would break from his touch.

As we pulled apart, he held me close and whispered, "I'll protect you, Haejin. You're safe now."
