Mr. Arrogant [Book 4] ; kth | COMPLETE

Chapter 12

Kim Hyejin POV.
I held my breath as long as I can. Until I exhaled very slowly so that it won't sound.

I heard creeking from the bedroom. Also those sounds that a drawer makes when it opens.

I found a little light coming from the bottom space of the closet door. I can see the shadow walking back and forth inside the room.

Until,

he stopped right in front of the closed closet.

He slowly opens the door as it creaks, and finally, it's wide open. He slowly travelled his hands through the different sizes of clothes. I tried to stay still as possible, I tried not to breathe for a long time, and I wished my stomach won't sound because I really feel very hungry right now.

Then he suddenly stopped.

He sat down in front of the closet, tapping his fingers to the floor very softly and slowly. I can't see his face, but I can tell thay he's crying right now.

He then suddenly crawled in slowly into the closet. Very slowly until I can feel the clothes moving in my skin.

Then I felt a warm hand that made my whole body relax. I felt it. I really did.

It felt like a thousand butterflies starts dancing all around me.

It felt like I'm starting to know who I am.

It felt like love.

"Mr. Kim, all clear. She's not here." the police man's voice suddenly appears from nowhere.

Taehyung stood up and closed the closet. He went back downstairs. I waited for him and the police to go out before I go out of this closet.

I stood up, stretched my body, and I randomly looked at my hands. The hands that he touched.

I held it tightly. I wanted more of that feeling. I don't know why it feels so good touching his hand, but I want more of it. I don't get it anymore. I don't know why I don't feel the same way when I touch Sungjin's hands. I feel like something's wrong with the truth I know. Or maybe, with the lie I know.

I heard running footsteps coming upstairs, it was Minwon.

"Eomma, gwenchana? (are you okay?)" he asked.

"Yes. I'm fine." I said to him.

"Thank God. I'll tell appa about this." he said, taking out his phone from his t-shirt pocket.

"You have his number?" I asked him. "If you do, can I ask for it? I really need his number."

"Um, oh yeah! I almost forgot. I bought a new phone. I don't memorize his number. I'm sorry. My old phone's thrown away." he smiled, putting his phone back into his pocket.

An hour later, Minwon went outside to play basketball with his classmates. So I was all alone, inside the house, thinking about what Sungjin could be doing right now, or where Si Ah is, or thinking about how can I possibly know each every truth I don't know.

Kim Taeguk POV.
"We ordered food. Eat it, because I know your parents wouldn't want you to starve." a woman's voice said.

The woman has been guarding me all day. She didn't even take the chance of falling asleep. The only time she goes away is when the men who spoke to me earlier comes in. But before that, she harshly puts a black plastic bag in my face.

"I don't want to." I replied, turning my head harshly away from the spoon.

"I said eat it!!" she pushed it hard into my lips and it started bleeding. "What a naughty girl. I won't wipe that off until you eat this. Eat it with the blood, I don't care."

After seconds, the big metal door gave 3 knocks. The woman once again put the black plastic bag on. Then I hear the door opening.

"How's life here Taegukie?" a man asked.

"Get away from me." I replied.

"If you wanna know who I am, give me a little favor." he said with a deeper voice. "I'll let you go, but if you dare tell anyone, I'll kill your eomma. I'm watching you. You can't get away. Or maybe, even your appa. Plus, bonus, your little cute dongsaeng."

"I'd rather stay here. I don't want any of them in danger."

"Even though. If you stay here, they'll still be in big danger. But when you do what I say, you and your family will be safe. Unless if you fail what I tell you to do." the man started walking near me. "Oh and yes, I forgot to mention your, uhm, halmeoni."

What
Where
Where is she?

I don't know if I should.

There's a death situation in one of these choices. I don't know which one should I choose.

Go Sungjin POV.
I knocked on the door, and Si Ah opened it for me.

"Where's Hyejin?" I asked.

"Upstairs. She slept early today." she said while opening the door wide open for me to come in.

I went it, immediately walked upstairs, and there I saw Hyejin inside the dark bedroom, sitting near the edge of the bed, staring at her hand. I walked slowly towards her, tiptoed, and hugged her from the back.

"What's up? I'm sorry I wasn't able to come home early." I said. "Do you want to go for a roadtrip tomorrow? It's weekend."

She kept staring at her hand, before answering, "I think that's a great idea."

"Is there something wrong with your hand? Why do you keep staring at it?" I asked her.

"No. I'm fine. Nothing's wrong." she smiled.

Kim Taehyung POV.
I stare at my hand.
The hand where I felt love,
The kind of love that I'm looking for.

"H-Hyejin. Taeguk." I whisper as I sniff my cold because of the tears flowing down my cheeks. I miss them so much. I miss them very, very much. I can't handle everything without them.

I stood up from the bed and went outside to the living room, there I saw Taeho, still on his phone. He was on his phone the whole day. He used to study at this time of the day, but I never saw him in front of his books today.

"Taeho. What do you want to eat?" I asked.

"Don't worry appa. I'll order KFC after an hour. I'm not that hungry yet." Taeho replied, still faced on the phone.

Taeho POV.
After appa went back to his bedroom, I turned my phone on once again and replied to Seohyun.

Seohyun: yah. what takes you so long to reply?
Me: my dad was talking to me. sorry.
Seohyun: ahh. no problem. btw, is Seolee still disturbing you or smth? Is he still talking things ab you or..?
Me: nope. he's not chatting me anymore. im okay now thanks to you.
Seohyun: your welcome. remember that a friend will always be there for you.
Me: thank you. goodnight for now. i'll go sleep.
