Ch. 9: Double-Dealing

(Hey, guys! Before we get started, I just wanted to let you know that this will be a short chapter. Sorry that it took me so long to create another! I've just been dealing with a lot, lately. I hope you enjoy it all the same.)

None of this felt right. It was as if my whole world was crashing down all around me. So many questions boiled and churned inside of my skull as I sat there on my own front porch bawling my eyes out to a complete and total stranger. All while holding my unconscious girlfriend in my arms.
Just what in the fucking seven hell's happened to her? I needed answers. Answers from the man standing before me. I needed him to tell me what was going on. And I needed them NOW.

"J-just what happened to her? Why isn't she waking up?!" I yelled out, while gently shaking her. Rage filled my body, taking over me and pushed out any rational thoughts I once had possessed. Seeing her like this killed me. It made my stomach turn, and my blood boil. One thing's for sure: she was definitely hiding something from me. Could this man really be telling me the truth? Was he not the one that did this to Y/N?

"You need to get her inside. Get her comfortable. She should drink a lot of water to counteract the effects of the drug." The tall man in front of me said crouching down to my right. "It will help, I think."
I looked up at him with red, exhausted eyes. Confusion must have been written across my face like a Las Vegas sign. He weakly smiled, but that smile wasn't due to happiness. I could tell that he knew what was going on, but his eyes reflected a sense of sadness.
"I-I'm sorry. I know this is sudden... But, judging by what happened to her, I think that would be the best thing for her. Don't you think? I wanted to deliver her home safely. She was pretty adamant about not telling me where she lived so I could do so."
I shot him a glare.
"Can you blame her? You are a stranger to her. Did you expect her to trust you just like that?" I rolled my eyes, gently scooping Y/N up in my arms. I've had just about enough of this man's blubbering. He stood up as well and frowned. I could read his expression from the corner of my eye. He was worried and looked like he had something to say to me. I didn't care enough to hear it.
I managed to open up the door, wedging my foot in between the frame to prop it open so I could take her inside. The sooner I can get inside and slam the door in this man's face, the sooner I can take care of Y/N, and get some well deserved answers out of her. She needed to come clean about where the hell she has been for the past two hours.

"You can go now--"

"D-do you need help? Y-you know, getting her situated?" Namjoon asked nervously, rubbing the back of his head. My eyebrows furrowed, as I clicked my tongue.
"Tch. Thanks, but no thanks. If I weren't holding her right now, I would punch you. No, I don't need help taking care of my own girlfriend." I snapped, moving to go inside. I expected the screen door to shut behind me securely with a click, but Namjoon caught it, opening it about halfway again.

"Listen, I'm sorry if there was a misunderstanding between us. I wasn't trying to hurt her, I promise. I just saw her going into that awful place so, I wanted to go back in and rescue her. That's all."

Awful place? What is he talking about? I narrow my eyes at him through the glass door.
"What are you talking about? What place?"
He took a deep breath in, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Well, uh- Y-you know. Some night club. But, d-don't worry! I'm sure she wasn't going there for anything suspicious. Perhaps she had her reasons. Look, I'll go before I cause you any more trouble than I meant to. If you want answers, you're gonna have to ask her. She wasn't completely open to whatever she was doing there. Just, take care okay? I hope you work things out with Y/N." He smiled a very gentle smile (almost like it was a knowing one) and at that moment, I automatically felt bad for every shitty thing I've done to him since he arrived here. I sighed out, nodding my head.
