The Leader's Possession || PURINZ

chapter 7

KIM CHAEWON

I sat in the living room, with Yuri, Eunchae, Garam, and Sakura. Yena had gone out for a walk. Eunchae and Garam were having a debate on which chocolate is better. "Okay... Boss your last" Garam says, looking at me. I roll my eyes slightly.

"Okay, hit me" I say, leaning forward. "Which chocolate is better... Milk Chocolate or Dark Chocolate" Eunchae asks. I stare blankly at them for a moment. Then I answer. "Dark" I say, leaning back and crossing my arms. "HA!" Garam says, standing up with both her fists in the air.

"Ugh fine, I just you win" Eunchae says, pouting. "Oh hush Eunchae" Yuri said with a mischievous smile. That caused Eunchae to pout more.

I snickered, when the door bursts open. I look I over to see Yena, who is sweaty. "Jeez Yen... You look like you just ran a damn marathon" Yuri says, eyeing her up and down. "Oh shush Yul" Yena says, sneering at her. "What is it Yena?" I ask, standing up now.

"Boss... you're never going to believe it. I saw your girl" She says. My eyes widen. Wait... Was she talking about Yunjin?

"Wait... Yunjin?" I ask, stepping closer by an inch. Yena scoffs. "Who else boss? Casper the ghost?" She says, with an attitude. Garam and Yuri snicker at that. I shoot a glare to them, then I turn to Yena. "Cut the attitude and answer the question" I order, a fire burning in my eyes.

"Yes... Yunjin" Yena says. I step closer, my body filled with determination. "Where?" I ask. "Moonlit, just on the outskirt of town" She answers. I waste no time. I grab my keys, put on my jacket, and turned to my gang before I leave. "Stay here, I'll be back" I say.

"Seriously Chaewon?" Sakura says. "Yes" I say, then I leave. I get on my motorbike, and I race down the streets. My heart pounded with determination and a bit of anger and relief.

Soon, I reached the shelter. I marched inside, the woman behind the desk looking at me. "Hello, Can I help you" She says. "Looking for this girl" I say, holding up a picture of Yunjin.

The woman takes a good look at the picture. "Oh yeah, I saw her, she's in room 523" The woman says. I nod and walk to the room.

I opened the door to the room, to see Yunjin peacefully sleeping. I close the door behind me gently. I watch as she sleeps. the way her chest rises and falls. She looks... Beautiful. I step up to her bedside silently, then I shake her shoulder, waking her from her slumber.

She groans and sits up. "Hey..." I say gently, leaning against a nearby table. She looks at me. "Chaewon?" She says, a little dazed and surprised. "Yeah, it's me" I say.

"Why are you-"

"What were you thinking!?" I exclaim quietly. She goes silent. "Running off like this, do you know how worried I was? I thought the bastard caught you" I say. Yunjin just looks down. "You could have gotten killed, hurt... I can't bear that happening" I say.

Yunjin looks up in surprise. "What?" She mutters quietly. I sit next to her, taking her shoulders in my hands. "Yes, I can't bear the thought of you hurt" I say. She just stays quiet. "I care about you Yun... More than you realize" I say softly. A rare hint of vulnerability in my eyes.

She continued to sit quietly, processing what I just said. I didn't blame her, I was still surprised with myself.

"Why did you say I can protect myself?" She asks. I look at her confused. "What? When did I say that?" I ask. "You and Sakura were talking and you were saying that I could protect myself and that I didn't need your protection" She explains. I feel a pang of guilt in my chest.

"Oh Yun... I was talking about Eunchae, she was in a situation" I explain. "I never meant for you to take that the wrong way, and I'm so sorry you did... Please come back" I say. She looks in my eyes, then sighs. "Okay" She says. I smile and stand up, letting go of her shoulders.

I hold an arm out to her. "Let's go home" I say, with a small wink to her.
