I'm Not Like Him | Hwang Hyunjin

Fifteen

One week. Seven hours. That's how long it had been since you went missing. Hyunjin made a report to the police about you missing. Posters were hung around the city. Everyone kept looking for you. They never stopped. Hyunjin didn't sleep. He barely ate either. He cried thinking he'd never be able to find you. He still didn't understand why you suddenly disappeared, especially on your wedding day.

*flashback*

"Alright, are you ready, Y/n?" Mina smiles at you.

You take a deep breath before nodding at her. Seungmin and her smile at you before walking out of the room, leaving you alone. This was it. You were about to marry Hyunjin. As you were about to walk out you see a man standing in the doorway. You took a step back as your flower bouquet fell out of your hands and onto the ground.

"What's the matter, darling? Not happy to see me?"

The person that was standing in front of you, grinning was Liam. Adrian's twin brother. He was the last person you expected to be here.

"How... Why are you here, Liam?" You gulp.

"I'm here to get back what was once stolen from me." He walks closer to you. You go pale as your breath hitches.

When you first came to Korea and way before you met Adrian you had first met Liam. You didn't know who Adrian was at the time. Liam had fallen in love with you. But once you were introduced to Adrian, Adrian had also fallen in love with you. This caused tension between the both of them and they fought a lot. That's when Adrian took matters into his own hands. He made you fall in love with him.And then Adrian had told you to let go of Liam so you did.

You met up with Liam one last time. Liam had no idea that that would be the last time you would see him. Unfortunately that day you had almost gotten Liam killed. You never meant for it to happen. Adrian always told you he didn't care if his brother got killed. Those words stuck in your head as you were with Liam. You both were walking around town. Cars were driving in the street as you then had a thought in your head. You never had bad thoughts like that before. It wasn't scary to you though.

Liam was standing closer to the road. You looked at him and then your hands pushed him into the road full of cars. He didn't react in time. He ended up getting hit by a car. Which then led to him being in a coma for three months. You never admitted to doing it. Liam said he didn't remember what happened. You lied and said he lost his balance and fell into the street. After that you never saw Liam again, but that's when your toxic relationship started with Adrian.

Liam was furious hearing about you and Adrian being together but he never knew how abusive his brother was being to you. Liam just wanted you back. You were supposed to be his until his brother came into the picture and stole you away. If you had never met Adrian then you probably would have ended up with Liam.

Liam, hearing that you were marrying Hyunjin and Adrian being in jail, wanted to get you back no matter what it took.

"Did Adrian send you? Is that what this is?" You ask, feeling dizzy.

"You think my brother sent me? Darling, you're too funny. Don't you remember? He was the one who stole you from me. You were supposed to be mine. And now you're marrying some idol?"

"Liam, go. Get out of here. You shouldn't be here. It's too late. I don't love you anymore. I'm sorry, Liam. Leave and please never show your face around me again."

As you try to make your way around Liam and out to the venue, Liam puts his hand over your mouth. You struggle to breathe. You hit and kick him but nothing works. That's when your vision goes black.

*end of flashback*

The next time you opened your eyes you were in a car. You were shocked to see your hands weren't tied together or that your mouth wasn't duct taped shut. You look to your left and see Liam driving. His eyes fall on you and then his eyes go back focusing on the road.

"I'm sorry. Please don't hate me. This wasn't my plan. It was..."

"Adrian. I knew it."

You scoff crossing your arms. You knew all along this was Adrian's doing. You knew Liam would never do anything like this. Even if he did love you like crazy he was nothing like his brother.

"Why? How did he threaten you to do this?" You ask.

"He threatened to kill you. He said if I mess this up then he'd kill you." He sighs.

"Liam, are you crazy? Do you seriously think he could kill me? He's in prison where he belongs! You should've come to me and told me everything. Hyunjin and I would've..."

You stop as your eyes widen. Hyunjin. You knew he must be worried sick about you. Or worse heartbroken thinking you ran off not wanting to marry him.

"Liam, you need to take me back. Hyunjin he's probably-"

"I'm sorry, Y/n. I really am. I can't."

"Liam, please don't do this. This isn't you. He can't kill me! Just take me back and I'll forget this ever happened."

"He didn't just threaten to kill you. He threatened to kill me too."

"Liam, report this to the police. Don't do this! Please!"

Liam clenches the steering wheel. He doesn't say anything else. He keeps driving. You can see the guilt in his eyes. There was nothing you could do. You had no idea where you were even if you managed to escape. All your belongings were back at the venue. You were still in your wedding dress too.

***

Hyunjin had gone to visit Adrian. He wanted to pay him a little visit and to figure out if he was behind this. Because he was so sure he was.

Hyunjin sees Adrian walk in and sits down on the other side of the glass. He stares at Hyunjin, smiling.

"It's good to see you, pal. How's life being married?"

"Cut the crap, Adrian. What did you do to her?! Where did she go?!"

Adrian looks at him confused. He then leans back in his chair, chuckling.

"What are you talking about? Don't tell me... She disappeared? Well, that's unfortunate. She probably got scared and ran off. Do you seriously think I could possibly be behind this if I'm in prison?"

Hyunjin glares at him, letting out an angry sigh. He then quickly stands up from his seat walking out of there. Adrian grins watching him walk away.

As Hyunjin exits the building he walks over to Chan's car and gets in, putting his seatbelt on. Chan was in the driver seat. He looks at Hyunjin waiting for an answer.

"He claims he has nothing to do with her disappearing, but I know he's lying. He's always behind anything that involves her." Hyunjin says.

"Well I got some bad news. The police can't actually have him as a suspect. He's in prison and would have no possible way to have done this. But I don't believe that. Something is telling me this is his doing but he also didn't do this alone."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that someone helped him take Y/n away. I did some research and... Adrian has a twin brother named Liam. Liam was in love with Y/n but Adrian had taken Y/n away from him. They've never gotten along but I know Liam probably helped him do this. I don't know why but we will figure that out too. We just need to first figure out where Liam could have possibly taken Y/n."
