Chapter 22

Your point of view:

I try to free my arm from the grip of the man holding me, "Let me go!"

He laughs and turns to his accomplice, "Do you hear that? She wants us to let her go. What should we do?"

The other one looks at me and says, "Maybe if she asks nicely."

I furrow my eyebrows feeling both scared and angry, "Please.Let.Me.Go!"

They smirk feeling amused by my demand.

The man releases his grip only to grab the collar of my coat and pull me closer, "You're gonna follow us quietly if you don't want things to get worse."

"Hey! What's going on here?!"

We all turn our heads to look at the person who just spoke.

"T-Taheyung..." I whisper.

"Nothing of your concern sir, please keep walking." says the other man.

Taehyung approaches him with a scary smile on his face, "Looks like we're going to have a problem then as she's with me, making it my concern."

"Oh really? Good cause this girl owes us money! Are you going to pay for her?"

Taehyung remains calm and walks closer to him.

What is he doing? Doesn't he know these guys are dangerous?

"Taehyung!" I try to warn him but he's not listening to me.

He tells him something else that I can't hear and gives him a card.

The man looks at it furrowing his eyebrows before saying to his accomplice, "Let's go!"

"What?! Why?!" he protests.

"I'll explain."

He complains and lets go of me but not before whispering in my ear, "I see you found yourself a rich boyfriend. Doesn't mean you're out of the woods."

He then follows the other man inside a black car and they drive away leaving me confused on the sidewalk.

I jump a bit at Taehyung's hand on my shoulder.

He's bending a bit, looking into my eyes, "Are you okay?"

I nod and he walks me to the café, "Come one let's get you inside and you can explain what was that."

~.~

"... and that's why they were after me." I finish explaining him, without any details, why these two men were here today.

He doesn't need to hear the whole story, only the fact that my father had debts after the death of my mother and they were here to collect.

He shakes his head looking serious, "Fathers... They are such disappointments..."

I look at him with a puzzled expression but he doesn't say anything else so I ask,

"What did you tell that guy? How come he was willing to let me go?"

He makes his straw swirl in his iced coffee and looks back at me, "I told him I took a picture of them threatening you and that I will send it to my friend who is a commissioner."

"And it made them back up? Just like that?" I ask.

"Just like that." he smiles, "I can be pretty convincing you know."

"No kidding..." I say to myself as I sip on my drink.

"Wait! Did you give him a business card?" I ask, almost forgetting that important detail.
