The Gangster Next Door ✔️

Chapter Twenty-Two: Focus Jihye

Jihye's POV

I opened the door to see nothing but darkness. I reached over to the wall beside the door for a light switch. After shearching for what seemed like ten mintues I finally found it and switch on the lights. I was complety shock to see what was standing in front of me.

"It looks just like Jhope's basement." I comment to myself. On my right was a small desk loaded in books and papers, next to it sat a metal trash can that was way over filled. I turned to my left to see a large board with pictures of people. Not just any people, no not the type that people take with flowers or with their house pet. No these pictures are just like what Jhope has in his basement. Dead people. Some looked familiar from Jhope but others where new, and more disturbed. I walked over to the borad and studded everything I saw.

I saw pictures of Jhope, Jin, Jimin, and Daehyung. But what made me really stare was a picture of me. Not a reacent picture, but a picture of me as a child. How do they have a picture of me as child? Next to my picture were more pictures of children. Some looked frighten and some looked half way to death, but as I kept going along I saw one picture that stood out. It was me. Me and Jhope. It was that day I followed him to his hang out, but the photo was of us walking down the street.

"That was when-" I was cut off by someone clearing their throat. I froze for a second before turning around to see Kookie with his cell phone in his hand.

"I came to tell you the taxi driver said he was stuck in traffic. I thought we could at least watch one movie together to pass the time but it looks like you already found something to pass the time." Kookie spoke like he was he disappointed in me or maybe even himself.

"Have you been following me?" I asked jerking the photo down from the board. I stared down at the photo of me and then back at him.

"It's kind of a long story." Kookie replied.

"So you aren't denying it?" I shouted.

"Well, no, not really. It's-"

"I can't believe you guys! Yet somehow or another I truest the people who kidnapped me! Man was, I mean am, a fool."

"Jihye, please calm down. It was actually Suga who followed you. He was only doing what Felix asked."

"That day Jhope walked me home I saw Suga on a motorcycle. At the time I didn't know it was him but now that I think about it I can tell it was him. Why though?"

"Felix's other men have been following Jhope for awhile now. One of the guys saw you and Jhope talking and smiling in the apartment complex and got the idea you two where dating. Felix thought it would be a good idea if Suga kept a eye on you for awhile just in case. I'm sorry we didn't tell you earlier. Rapmon thought it would make you not trust us if we spoke about it. We only hid this room from you because of how sick and twisted those pictures are. Please don't think of this as a way not to trust us. I'm sorry Jihye."

So people have been following me since I moved next door to Jhope. I've been a target ever since I met Jhope. It's not like I regret meeting Jhope, I just wish he wasn't who he is. And with what Kookie is saying it reminds me of Jhope. Trying to hide this stuff from me, why, just because I'm a girl, because they think I'm weak. Well I'm already in this mess, I might as well get to know what I've got myself into.

Even though Kookie, Rapmon, and Suga think they are different from Jhope, Jin, and Jimin. They really aren't. And it seems like V already knows. These guys need each other more then ever and them being in this whole 'battle of the gangs' isn't helping their relationship.

'I'm-" I was cut off by a knock on the door.

"I guess the taxi is here." I said. I looked over at Kookie who was looking down at his phone then back at me.
