Saving the Assassin

Chapter 35: Getting Jongin Back

Not noticing she slept herself on the couch, Sunday morning came. She slept more than enough sleep which explains her small headache.

"This is not goodbye... I know.. It's only farewell..." Kyungsoo's last words echoed in her head.

I should freshen up. She walked to her bathroom to see a mess, which was actually her; nest hair, pale face, shrinked swollen eyes. She took a nice bath relieving her heavy feeling. Upon choosing clothes she remembers her weekly visit to the orphanage. She sighs. I should atleast go out. I don't want to spend this day thinking about yesterday.

After getting dressed, she checks her phone for messages. It became her habit thanks to Kyungsoo. She was a little disappointed to find it empty. She tapped 'create message' to compose a text for him... but she didn't want to ruin his day. She held her phone tight and tucked it instead on her pocket.

Kai.. Her brain cells flashed. Maybe I could tag him along with me... to end my mission. And to see what I really feel... She nodded and grabbed her necessities before going.

Arriving at Seoul Heights, she bowed at the kind receptionist and pushed the password to Kai's floor. She peeked in to find no one. She layed her bag at his couch and went in to his room to find him sleeping (?) soundly on his side. She wasn't sure because his position wasn't that sleepable. She crossed her arms. "You shouldn't be sleeping with your legs hanging you dumb-dumb." Imaginary crickets made sounds. She went closer and held Kai's arm to shake it. "Kai. Wake up. We're going to the--" Kai's body rolled on his back letting her see a better view of him. His face is pained and sweating. "Such a heavy sleeper..." She sighed. "Hey." She shook him more.

"S-stop already p-please." Another stab landed on my liver. Just when will this stop?

I thought this was supposed to be a good sleep. But it ended up to be my endless nightmare..

Kai slept the whole day from yesterday after drinking the pills and hasn't waken up yet today.

"Kai!" Jae leaned to his chest to place her ear on her chest to learn his heartbeat's stable. Kai opened his heavy eyelids. It rounded almost immediately, panicking as he shot up making Jae back away. "Y-you okay?" She asked. Kai looked at her for a mere second and hugged her tight... She wasn't returning it. She was focused on his now fast heartbeat. "I was being stabbed for forever..." His voice came out muffled. Jae pats his head before breaking the hug. "You'll be alright." She says.

"Wait why are you here? Kyungsoo might get mad." Kai brought tthe topic up making her frown and later on, sigh.

"Come on. Get ready. You are going with me to meet your mom. IN FAVOR OR NOT."

After countless convincing, Kai's hard head was dragged by Jae Mi. She tried hard to make this day possible to clear everything out. I wish I would be at rest after this..

Kai stopped his vehicle in front of the orphanage and sighed. "I'm not ready yet Jae... And I still shouldn't." He said. "Just do it. When will you ever be ready? And why shouldn't you? What's holding you back?" She bombarded him questions. Questions that has been bothering her. Curiosity that drove her crazy.

"Nothing.." He shrugged it aside. He's been wanting to share everything to someone. But it isn't the right time. Especially all his confessions are wrong. Jae Mi sighed not getting her wanted answers. "Okay then." She said obviously not earning satisfaction. "You really owe me big time you know. I should atleast deserve answers." She added before going out of his car. He was still holding his steering wheel contemplating what Jae has said. I can't..
