Love Is Pain

Chapter 9 - The fat man

"Jennie, What the fuck?" Lisa shouted, Jisoo and her rushing over to her at once to analyse her. She was filled with purple bruises all around her face and a small amount of blood made it's way onto her shirt.

Taehyung looked even worse. His cheek had a large gash on the side of his face and bruises and blood made it's way all around his face.

"Tae, did you get beaten up?" Jungkook asked, telling Jimin to go get the first aid kit.

"Why do you care?" Tae responded, the anger evident in his eyes. Jungkook sighed, he thought they were over this.

...

Jennie stood there, watching the figure walk away as she recalled what just happened.

"Jiyong told me."

Her brother knew Kim Taehyung. But how, they only recently moved here and Taehyung was 3 years younger than him. It didn't make sense to Jennie at all. She quickly scavenged through her purse to find her phone, her fingers scrambled to find Jiyong's contact. She needed to know what was going on.

"Hey, babe, your looking fine today." A deep voice purred from behind her. Jennie quickly turned to find an older man, with a beer bottle in his hand and a shirt that  was too small to fit him. He quickly walked over to her.

"Get away from me." Jennie commanded, turning to walk away. The man grabbed her wrist before she could and pulled her back into him. Jennie could feel the alcoholic breath and crinkled her nose in disgust.

"Where are you going, baby?" He slurred, removing a hand off her waist to caress her cheek. "I just want to talk."

"I don't want to talk with you." Jennie shouted, resisting the man's touch. This just got him angered up more. "Help, help, help."

His hands around her waist tightened as she groaned in pain. "We don't want to cause any trouble here, do we?" He muttered against her ear. Jennie quickly took advantage of this by bashing her head against him, releasing the grip on her waist and then giving her time to run.

"Taehyung." She screamed helplessly praying for the boy to arrive. "Where the fuck are you?"

The hands returned to her waist but this time Jennie could sense the anger radiating off him. She had rally pissed him off, judging by the fact the he constantly moans about the purple bruise forming on his cheek where she had hit him.

"You little bitch." The man shouted, slapping Jennie so that she stumbled on the ground. "Don't you know how to be nice?"

He kept slapping her until she gave up resisting and slumped into his arms. The tears she had forcefully tried to resist, was tumbling out of her eyes. She was helpless and nobody could help her.

That was until...

A figure appeared from behind and smashed his fist into the bald head of the man. He continuously punched him, allowing Jennie to be removed from his hardened grip and move away as fast as she could. She was about to just leave and let them keep fighting until she saw who it was.

"Taehyung!" She shouted in recognition. He looked up, with pained angry eyes which softened at her appearance. His fists clenched.

"Run, Jennie." He commanded, the fat man starting to attack him. "They found Jimin and Chaeyoung, just go straight and you'll arrive at Jimin's house."

"But, I can't just leave you here and.." Jennie said, feeling frightened for the boy as the bald mans power was staring to return.

"Go, now." Taehyung ordered, making it clear there was no time for an argument. Jennie realises this and did what she had to do.
