"What makes you think I kill?", Taehyung asks innocently.
"No matter how good looking you are, you're still a mass-murderer...", I mutter.
Laughing, he says,"Try talking back one more time and I'll take you to the Punishment Room".
I gulp.
|| Mafia...
After Taehyung's capture, I packed my bags, quit my job, and moved to Japan. I'm currently living in Eunbi's small apartment in Tokyo.
Taehyung has been sentenced to life in prison and it's already been a year since I last saw him. Every now and then, I still feel extremely guilty for abandoning him when he needed my help but I just couldn't risk my life.
I'm always paranoid that one of Taehyung's mafia friends would take revenge on me and kill me. I live in fear everyday.
I took up a small part-time job at a department store in Harajuku. Ironically, I managed to whisk a job at the Gucci store: Taehyung's favorite place. The manager of the Gucci store said they needed someone who knew how to speak Korean because of the amount of Korean tourists that often visit. Thank god I remember some Japanese from my language class back in high school.
As I was riding the subway, I look at the time on my phone: 6:31 am.
I sigh and look out the window of the train.
I wonder how he's doing....
I look down at the necklace Taehyung forcefully put on me.
He didn't have the chance to take it off of me since he got arrested...
I tried sawing it, cutting it, and melting it, but it wouldn't even break apart.
He's in jail now, surely there's no way he can find me... Right?
1:03 pm:
"Yeah, I just got off of work. I'm safe, don't worry about me. Taehyung is safely locked up in prison for life. Okay. Thanks, got it, bye Eunbi", I hung up the phone.
Almost everyday, Eunbi has been calling me to check up on me and make sure that I was safe.
I ride the subway back to Eunbi's apartment and once I arrive, I quietly punch in the code to our apartment and enter.
"I'm home ugly!", I yell out. "Huh?"
I look around our empty apartment. I thought Eunbi was supposed to be home today? Oh well, she probably went out to buy groceries.
I set my bag down on the breakfast table and go straight to the fridge. I crack open a can of grape juice, whilst turning on the TV.
I drop my can of grape juice.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!", I scream. I desperately grab a knife from the kitchen, attempting to cut the necklace off even though I've tried countless times before.
Right at that moment, there's a knock on the door. Is it Eunbi? Is it Taehyung?
I check the small peephole. I sigh a breath of relief. It's Eunbi... But why isn't she putting in the code for our apartment?
