"Behind it" - Cai Xukun FF (ip+sk ff)

Chapter 12 - Worry

Natalie's POV

Xukun hit the table furiously making me jump out of surprise. The boy was really angry. He looked like he could kill anyone right now just to calm himself down. His chest was going up and down as he was breathing heavily.

Everyone's eyes were glued to my screen phone and the message. My dear...you really think there's only one secret admirer? You really think this stupid psycho would do so much alone?

I looked at Irene. Her hair was falling loosely down her flawless face. Her brows were furrowed but that didn't change the fact that she was gorgeous. The girl was leaning against the table with her hands set on it keeping her in one place. She was thinking hard about the case while I was just admiring her beauty. If I could only look like her...

Then I adverted my gaze to Ziyi, who was on the other side of the table, opposite to Irene. He was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed in front of him. That was the moment when I noticed how handsome he actually was. His strong features and muscular body with perfect proportion made him look extremely elegant in the black shirt and black jeans.

When I realised I had been staring definitely too long I glanced in front of me again to find Xukun's gaze on me. I didn't know how long he had been watching me but I hoped he didn't notice me checking out Ziyi while everyone had been thinking about MY problem.

I didn't know if I should look away or just keep my stare, so I just lost myself in his chocolate eyes. There were so many mixed emotions. Anger. Worry. Confusion. Determination. Helplessness. Those eyes...were something really dangerous. They made my mind go blank for who knows how long. Everyone used to say that eyes are the door to someone's soul, but his must had been thoroughly closed. That was what I felt about them, but on the other hand I felt like I had the keys somewhere but I didn't know where.

"We have to admit...we were tricked," Ziyi decided to break the silence making us all look at him and waking me up from my trance.

"No sh!t, Sherlock," Irene sarcastically replied and Ziyi rolled his eyes. I didn't know she had such an attitude but I liked it in a way.

"I checked his phone one more," Jeongin's voice could be heard after the sound of the creaking door. "There was one really interesting message which says <You want to see what's in her house? Come there now, there's no one there>" he continued breathlessly. "He definitely was confused because he wrote back <huh, who are you, how did you have my number?> and then the person just replied <trust me and just go there, you'll know her style better if you see what's inside her house, it's a good chance for you>. And that's actually all. This messages were somehow deleted and the phone number from which these messages were sent can't be tracked. Just as the one that Natalie got message from. But they're different."

Everyone sighed in frustration. The silence set in again. It was already dark outside the window and I could see the stars clearly. It somehow made me feel at ease for a brief moment before Xukun opened his mouth.

"It's not good...Jeongin, please, take Natalie home and stay with her. She can't be alone."

My eyes went wide and I looked at him in disbelief. "What? Home? And Jeongin stays with me? It's not a good idea...first he can get hurt because of this person that's behind it and the second thing is Jisu-"

"Natalie, just do as I said. Don't argue with me, please, nothing will happen," Xukun interrupted me with annoyance in his voice. I didn't dare to say something back so I just stayed quiet and nodded my head.

We made our way to the car without saying anything more. When I sat down on a passenger seat I realised how pissed I actually was. Why didn't I fight back? Who does he think he is? Saying me what to do all the time and he can't even catch a guy that's after me? He hates on Jisung all the time and changes his mood almost every second...pfff..
