Jieun

"Meet me at 10 o'clock." I said to Jin-seok, my hands signing the paper he gave me to me earlier.
.
.
.
.

"Of course, mam." He said with obedient tone.
.
.
.
.
~~~~~
.
.
.
.

"We're glad that you finally permitted us to do it, mam." Jin-seok, with other two of his men, bowed at me as I handed them the contract.
.
.
.
.

"Are you sure you're safe on your own, mam?" He shot me concerned look, and I knew exactly why he was worried.
.
.
.
.

"Who's the head?" I raised my eyebrow and he immediately hung his head low. "I'm sorry." He apologized sincerely.
.
.
.
.

"No need to be sorry. Just make sure to complete the mission." I ordered. "I'll be joining the next mission after uni's tests." I stretched my arms and removed the black hair tie, making my thick hair fall over my shoulder.
.
.
.
.

"Consider it done." He got on his motorcycle, leaving with the other two. An exasperated sigh escaped my lips, as I adjusted my hair tie, tying my hair in a high ponytail.
.
.
.
.

Time skip-
.
.
.
.

I was walking back to my house, as I came here by foot. It's not that far from my house anyway.
.
.
.
.

After a while, someone bumped into me. I looked at the person, waiting to start walking away. But the second I recognized him, I clamped my mouth shut, widening my eyes.
.
.
.
.

This can't be happening!
.
.
.
.

This can't be happening!
.
.
.
.

This isn't possible!
.
.
.
.

The person shifted his gaze to me, a sly smile resting on his lips. His eyes locked with mine and his lips curved a devilish smirk.
.
.
.
.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
.
.
.
.

He recognized me!
.
.
.
.

He remembered me!
.
.
.
.

"Long time no see, Choi Jieun." He started laughing like a maniac, a satisfied grin plastered on his damn face.
.
.
.
.

"What do you want, Hyunwoo?" My hands curled into a fist, feeling alarmed in this situation.
.
.
.
.

"Well, well. After 4 years, I'm still shocked to see you. " His hands started clapping, like he was amazed.
.
.
.
.

"How did you find me?" I walked backwards, while I asked him. Not being afraid, being prepared for something mentally.
.
.
.
.

"How did I find you?" He burst out laughing, with an elated expression. "You think I'll let you go after you nearly ruined my life? You were the reason I was locked up behind bars for years!"
He gritted his teeth, being furious.
.
.
.
.

"I ruined your life? The situation you put me through was way much worse than yours. You tortured me for years!" My voice nearly cracked while yelling at him.
.
.
.
.

He is blaming me for being locked up in prison? Tsk, if I was stuck with him for another day, I could've died.
.
.
.
.

"It was nothing! And you think you'd be better? You think it'd be beneficial for you if they find out you used to fuck a criminal?"
.
.
.
.

"Fuck is an overstatement, Hyunwoo. You raped me, you tried choking me to death, you tortured me for years. Yes, it was my fault that I believed in people even after having such a horrible family issue. It was my fault that I couldn't save myself and almost let myself die in the hands of a fucking inhumane creature like you!!!"
.
.
.
.

"I wouldn't have done it if you weren't such a whore, Jieun. But now that I got you, I'll do everything to ruin your life, EVERYTHING!" He was yelling at this point. but when he approached me, I hurled a punch at him.
.
.
.
.

I'm not the same Jieun you used to know, Hyunwoo.
.
.
.
.

But he didn't back off immediately. He tried to kick me but... I caught his leg and swung it in the air, making him fall on the ground. You should've known who has mastered taekwondo among us.
.
.
.
.

He groaned, while trying to stand up properly. Before I got the chance to stop him, he punched me. Ugh, that hurts. But you know what hurts more, not fighting back.
.
.
.
.

I paced at him to attack, but someone pulled him by the collar and hurled a strong punch at him; making his nose bleed. I shifted my gaze and... Heeseung?
.
.
.
.

The moment Hyunwoo saw my expression, he chuckled with a low voice. "Wow! You're such a slut, Jieun. Already have a boyfriend?" He grinned as he punched Heeseung on the face. Heeseung doesn't back off, but rather kicked him; being furious.
.
.
.
.

"Ji, you're bleeding." He held me in his arms. "You motherfucker! How do you dare to call her names?" Heeseung punched him again, making him weak enough to fight anymore.
.
.
.
.

He was bloody, his nose was broken at this point. Hyunwoo tries his best to sprint away. "I'll get revenge on you Jieun, just you wait!" Just shouting like that, he disappeared in the darkness of the abandoned street.
.
.
.
.

"Ji, can you hear me? Who was he?" I almost couldn't hear him. Tears strolled down my cheeks as I started sobbing. "Heeseung, I can't do this anymore. Please..."
.
.
.
.

His arms wrapped around me tightly. "Please don't hesitate to open up to me, Ji. Please tell me..."
.
.
.
