Reckless Behaviour (Exo Kai)

Explanations

Chapter 12 – Explanations

Kai

The first thing that crossed my mind as I entered the building and saw the scene was that I was too late.

The Police went ahead of me, controlling the situation before I could get in there but what I saw would be forever etched in my memory.

Jina, she was on the ground, as men hastened to dress themselves and moved away in order to avoid the police.

The usual spark that was in her eyes was missing, there was no fake bravado or sass in her anymore as she flinched away from all the people around her. Her eyes were glazed over; with drugs or fear I didn't know. If I hadn't seen the way that she had flinched away from any contact I would have thought her dead, there was no life in her eyes and there was so much defeat in her stance.

The faces of all the men around were a blur, no matter how much I tried, I couldn't focus on a single one of them. In contrast the vision of Jina, her clothes torn, abused and wounded, was as sharp as if there was a spot light aimed at her body on the ground.

My mind was still trying to catch up with the facts all around me.

"Jina." My lips shaped around her name but there was no sound coming out of my mouth. I breathed a signed of relief when I saw her sit up, using her tattered clothes to cover herself, giving me a clear view to all the blood that was on her skin and the bruises that was just starting to form. There were so many questions running through my mind. Has they stabbed her? Shot her? Or did the blood mean something worse? Had she been hurt and humiliated in the worse way possible?

As if sensing my gaze, she looked my way and her eyes focused on me. She paled and then she started crying. My frozen legs moved to pick up my pace and instantly I was beside her, I didn't know how I got to her so fast.

"Oh kitten." I whispered, this time my voice echoing in my head, the background noise filtered out. I don't think I had ever felt this helpless before, this miserable heartache that I felt at seeing her like this. This girl that made me feel so much, feelings that I didn't want to feel. She made me feel so vulnerable.

The way she was right now, made me feel so miserable in a way that I don't think I had ever felt. Then my heart kicked in to over drive and I struggled to breath when she started to fade away. I cried out thinking that she was dying in my arms but then I realized she was literally fading away from in front of my eyes.

Suddenly I was aware of this insistent buzz in the background, getting louder and louder with each second that passed with Jina's body fading more and more, until it disappeared entirely and I sat up with a gasp.

My body was covered in sweat, my skin feeling clammy. My breath uneven as I struggled to catch my breath and calm my racing heart.

"Fuck!." I swore taking in my background, realizing I was in my bed, my sheets tangled around my body. The buzzing was actually my doorbell. I must have fallen asleep earlier, after coming home this evening. One heck of a dream that had been. More like one heck of a realistic nightmare, considering the uncanny resemblance to the events from earlier that evening.

I had half a mind to leave the door unanswered but having disappeared without so much as an explanation this evening I knew people would only freak out if my door went unanswered. So with a lazy pace I walked towards the door, still feeling the remnants of the nightmare that made me feel so exhausted all of a sudden, only to be greeted by the sight of the main protagonist of that awful nightmare standing in my doorway.

Jina

As I waked out of the elevator and towards Kai's door. I didn't know what I was expecting to happen but I did know was that I owed him a humongous 'thank you'. It was both a humbling yet troubling thought. Humbling because, I didn't know what would have become of me of it wasn't for Kai's interference, yet troubling because now I was in his debt as well. I just hoped that it wouldn't change the dynamics of our extended one night stand or whatever that we both had going on. Before the events from this evening, even though our status had been worlds apart, we had still been on equal ground but now, not so much. But I wasn't ready to give up Kai. Especially not now, after what happened earlier this evening.
