HELLBOUND [Liskook]

Part 12

Chapter 26 (No word left)

Back in the alley, Rosie stood there panting, as the three men around her groaned in pain, crawling like they've been disabled.

Rosie clapped her hands together, as if she was trying to remove the dirt from her hands. The anger in her eyes slowly dissipated and she became calmer. The little tigress had slowly returned to a bratty young lady.

Jimin, who was still there in the shadows, leaning on the wall, smiled widely. He almost wanted to clap his hands and praise her but he didn't want to be seen by her, so he remained quiet.

The girl then started to move. She stretched her arms and cracked her neck as she started walking away.

Jimin also sighed and turned around to leave when suddenly, he heard a small yelp come from her.

Jimin's head snapped back towards where she was a moment ago and to his surprise, the girl wasn't there anymore. He looked at the men on the floor and they were all still there so they couldn't have done anything to her.

So where the hell did she go?

Jimin hastily ran towards the spot where he last saw her. He looked around but he couldn't see her anywhere! Hooligan… where did you go?

"Ugh!! Damn it!! Damn it!!" an echoey voice cursed.

His eyes looked at where the voice was coming from and when he saw why she seemed to have disappeared, his jaw just fell.

The hooligan actually fell into a hole?! This was unbelievable. She was so cool and badass a moment ago - she might even be the coolest girl he had ever seen - but she actually fell into a hole… Way to go, Hooligan! I have no words left to describe you… Jimin just shook his head in disbelief.

Jimin squatted down and looked down the open hole in the alley. It appeared that some trouble maker removed the hole's cover so that some idiot or drunkard would fall victim to it.

"Aishh! Stupid hole!!!" The girl seemed to be in pain but Jimin could tell that she was trying to get up and climb up. She didn't yell for help which he found very strange. He knew that the first word girls would normally scream out if they ever got into any kind of situation, was the word help. But she didn't. She just cursed and struggled to help herself.

Shaking his head, Jimin switched on his flashlight and once he saw her, he wasn't even surprised anymore. She was already standing up and was about to climb up.

Jimin extended his hand.

"Come, take my hand and let me help you," he said and Rosie hesitated for a moment. She recognized that voice but she thought she might be mistaken because why would that person be here? Anyway, she didn't want to waste time to ponder the whys and hows while she was still literally holed up.

After accepting his hand, the man effortlessly pulled her up. "Thank you," she said without looking up as she fixed her dress. She then tried to stand and walk but she couldn't. It seemed she may have sprained, and possibly broken, her left ankle. She winced in pain every time she put pressure on her left foot but she was determined to go because she had to return to get Lisa!

She had left Lisa by herself for too long and who knew what might have happened to her during this time. She was really worried and she cursed herself for being careless and succumbing to her anger.

"Your ankle…" Her attention was drawn away from her thoughts to the man who helped her out of the hole and the moment she looked up, her eyes almost bulged out. It was him! What was this person doing here?

"P-p-prince Jimin? What are you doing here?" she stammered in surprise.

Some unknown emotion flashed in the man's eyes the moment she called him prince. "Don't call me that. I'm not a prince."
