SkyDive (Kim Himchan)

Part 9

Himchan looked at his phone and saw Hayan's name flash over the screen. With a look of confusion, he answered not expecting anything serious.

"Himchan thank God. There's someone outside in the backyard. He was watching the house and taking pictures, he saw me but I backed away from the window. I'm too scared to go check if he's still there." Hayan said, sounding really panicked. Himchan's heart stopped. he hadn't sent anyone to watch the house and with news of Jung-suk being back, he was worried.

"Hayan stay inside-" Himchans said, gesturing to Yongguk, Jongup and Zelo to follow him. "Are all the doors locked?" Himchan asked, rushing outside to his car. "I don't know." She said and there was a pause. The sound of glass breaking filled Himchan's ear and Hayan let out a squeal.

"Himchan, I think he's in the house." She whispered, the terror very apparent in her voice. Himchan was terrified himself, not wanting her to get hurt because of him. "Hide. I'm on my way." Himchan said but his words didn't comfort her.

She could hear the footsteps of the intruder and her heart was pounding. Hayan quickly tucked her phone away and looked around, hastily tucking herself into a closet. Hayan placed a hand over her mouth as she heard the intruder breaking glass the in the room.

Hayan felt like screaming, she was terrified. Mentally she prayed for it to be over.

With rage, Himchan blew through the door and un-holstered his gun. Yongguk, Jongup and Zelo were by his side.

"Yongguk, Zelo you guys go check out the yard. Jongup, you and I will look inside." Himchan said, trying to keep up his courage. Yet he feared that when he turned a corner, he'd see her laying there lifeless on the ground. He didn't want the others to percieve him as weak, so he never voiced his fears. 

Scanning his house, he saw the broken glass from the backdoor, flipped over tables and such. There was no sign of Hayan though.

"Himchan, I'm going to check upstairs." Jongup said, pulling Himchan out of his thoughts. "Alright, yell for me if you find her of him." Himchan told him and let Jongup climb the stairs.

It had been about twenty minutes since Hayan jumped into the closed. Every minute that passed made her fear grow. She didn't know if he was still in the house, she couldn't hear or see anything. All of her sense seemed to be dulled by fear. 

A scream escaped her throat as the doors to the closet were ripped open. She looked up, expecting to see the intruder only to be met by a surprised Jongup. A wave of relief washed over her body and the sobs she was holding in escaped.

Jongup was surprised, he was expecting to find a body. It surprised him even more that she was relieved to see him after all he put her through. Kneeling down in front of her, he wiped her tears away. 

"Shh, shh it's okay. You're safe now." Jongup cooed and held her shivering form. He went being her nightmare to being her hero. He held her face into his shoulder and rubbed her head in a comforting matter. 

"Guys! I found her! She's okay!" Jongup called out and Hayan continued to sob into his shirt. Jongup felt odd, he felt sad for her. 

The sound of quick footsteps up the stairs made Hayan lift her head. Himchan saw her and he let out a sigh of relief. He quickly knelt by the two and scooped her into his arms. Jongup stood up and looked at the two, a small satisfied smile on his face.

Himchan held her face in hands and examined it. "He never found you? Right? If he touched you I'm going to rip him apart limb by limb." Himchan rambled and Hayan shook her head no before burrying her face in his chest. "I don't know if he's gone, Himchan. He might still be here."She mumbled and he rubbed her back soothingly.

"If he is, he isn't getting out alive."Jongup said and Himchan nodded in agreement. There was a quiet moment of Hayan clutching onto Himchan before the sound of gunshot came through from outside. Hayan clutche donto Himchan even tighter in reaction.

"Do you want to stay here or come with me to see what that was?" Himchan asked, pulling away to look into her eyes. On one hand she didn't want to know what happened. On the other hand she didn't want to be alone.

Before answering, she looked at him. He looked worried, scared even. yet he couldn't keep his eyes off her, she noted this and placed a shaky hand on the of his neck for support. "I'll go with you. I don't want to be alone." 

Nodding, Himchan took her hands and helped her stand. Shakily she got her back and made her way to the stairs. Himchan was by her side, holding her hand and he refused to let go. Jongup followed them, gun in hand. What they had heard was definitely a gunshot.

Yongguk was standing in the livingroom with a gun in his hand. "There you guys are. We found him. he tried clocking Zelo to get away, I shot him. He's dead." He said and Hayan sighed. "Where's June? Is he okay?" Hayan asled worried for her friend. "Yeah, he's fine just a little shaken up. He's outside trying to I.D our guy." Yongguk said and paused to look at Himchan. "We're going to get these guys. But I have strong feeling Jung-suk is behind all of this." He continued and Himchan nodded his head.

Hayan let go of Himchan and headed outside, a chill running up her spine due to the fresh air. Junhong was standing next to a body in the grass, looking at a wallet. 

"That's him?" Himchan asked Hayan from behind. "Yeah." She answered and Junhong turned around at the sound of their voices.

"Oh my God, you're okay." Junhong said, smiling and dropped everything to hug her."You are too."She mumbled and he pulled away. "Where was she?" Junhong asked, looking at the others. "I found her in the upstairs closet." Jongup said and Junhong nodded his head in understanding. 

"Okay you guys take the body back to the office. I want full facial scans and a profile on this guy by tomorrow morning." Himchan ordered, placing a hand on Hayan's shoulder. "You're not going back with us?" Yongguk asked. Before Himchan answered he looked at Hayan, who was still shook up. "No, I think it's best if I stay."
