Innocent Pt. 3

"Why didn't you tell me this was happening?" Jungkook asked as he worked to stop the bleeding in her lip.

Eunji looked away in shame, "I didn't want you to pity me because of my problems. You weren't even supposed to see that, mianhae."

"No...no don't apologize. I'm worried about you Eunji. You need to get help if you're being abused like that" Jungkook said in frustration. He regretted not leaving the closet to defend you. The guilt mixed with anger filled his eyes.

Eunji finally met his eyes, "I can't...we're nothing against his power."

"What does he do for his job?" Jungkook asked, even though he knew. He started cleaning her cuts with ointment. She hissed at the sting of it.

Eunji shrugged, "I don't know, he's never told me. But I've had my suspicions that he does dirty work. I can't do anything though or he'll kill me...just like he did with my mother."

"I'm going to help you Eunji, I can't stand you being hurt like this," Jungkook said, caressing her cheek. "You can move in with me, so he can't find you."

Eunji immediately shook her head, "Ani. I can't do that to you. I'm fine, Jungkook really. I plan to move back to Korea once I finish school here."

"I don't care, I'd feel better if you're safe with me. I won't let him hurt you again Eunji," Jungkook said in a promising tone.

"Jungkook...do you really care about me?" Eunji asked in a quiet voice. No one has shown this much concern for her well being. Everyone that she crossed paths with either stabbed her in the back or simply gave up on her. So it was reasonable to find it odd to see how much Jungkook cared. She had to know if he was sincere.

Jungkook wrapped Eunji in his arms and kissed her forehead, "More than you know Eunji. I'm going to protect you, yaksok."

Finally Eunji sank into his embrace, feeling a lot better than she was before, resting in Jungkook's strong arms. Something about him made her feel safe and secure.

"What were you thinking, Jeon Jungkook?" Min Yoongi scolded the maknae. "She's a suspect!"

Jungkook was quick to defend, "She is not! I know her Hyung, she's innocent!"

"How can you be so certain?" Jin sayed in an exhausted tone. They haven't gotten very far on their mission and the stress was wearing everyone down. "Everything she's said to you could be fake. She might be lying to you."

"We're the ones lying to her," Jungkook said. "You didn't see what I saw today, how scared she was of Mr. Gong. You didn't see how he hit her like she was his personal punching bag."

Jimin looked at Jungkook in puzzlement, "But why would he hurt his own daughter?"

"Eunji... isn't his daughter," Jungkook hesitated before answering. "He's her stepfather and he practically kicked her out of his house. She doesn't know that he's a criminal, I could see it in her eyes. You have to trust me, guys."

"Guys! GUYS!" Hoseok's voice called out as he dashed into the living room with Taehyung following after him.

"What is it?" Namjoon asked, seeing the two boys breathing heavily as if they've been running for a long distance.

Taehyung held up his phone that revealed a picture of what seemed to be a storage room full of drug boxes?

"Hoseok and I were looking for clues on Mr. Gong," Taehyung breathed heavily. "And...and..."

"We found a few of his employees and followed them to see this room full of the illegal drugs Mr. Gong has been manufacturing through a window," Hoseok fills in. "This is our evidence guys!"

Namjoon nodded in approval, "Good job. Now, all we have to do is catch Mr. Gong for good."

"And we'll be done with our mission," Yoongi confirmed. Jungkook was happy they were finally getting somewhere in this mission. But once they finished, that would mean having to go back to Korea. What would happen to him and Eunji? Jungkook shook his head, he didn't want to cross that bridge until it came.

"Seriously Eunji, do some more aegyo for me jebal," Jungkook begged her as they exited the grocery store.

Eunji laughed, "Aish you . . . what is up with you and my aegyo skills? They're not even good!"

"They are too good! You're like a cute little bunny!" Jungkook said, swinging the grocery bags back and forth.

Eunji shook her head and kissed Jungkook's cheek, "Sorry Jungkook-ah, but you're the cute bunny here."

"Stop right there you two." a firm male voice came in. "Where do you think you're going?"

Eunji and Jungkook froze seeing several tall Korean men in suits. Jungkook instantly recognized them as Mr. Gong's henchman. Crap, not now!

The men grabbed Eunji and she screamed, another man grabbed Jungkook and dragged him into the alley.

"Let me go, you bastards!" Eunji yelled. "What do you want from us?"

"Eunji!"

Ignoring Eunji the man glared at Jungkook, "You and your agents have been on to us, haven't you?"

Before Jungkook could answer, the guy was knocked unconscious. Jungkook looked to see Eunji wearing a furious look.

"Eunji go, I don't want you getting hurt," Jungkook told her, seeing that the guys were ready to attack.

Eunji rolled her eyes, "Oh come on, you think I'm going to let you have all the fun?"

She was quick to kick one guy in the nuts as he tried to attack her. Another guy charged towards her with a knife but she swiftly dodged it and made a hard punch to the guy's face. Jungkook watched in amazement. Okay since when did she get so dang strong?

Jungkook had his own problems to worry about as he was fighting off the other guys. Eunji continued fighting gracefully like a dancer. When she knocked out the last guy, she saw a familiar pin on his jacket.

"Wait...this is Stepfather's company pin." Eunji looked closer. She looked over to the other unconscious guys and saw they were wearing the same pin. Why were her father's employees attacking them? Although her stepfather had shown nothing but his resentment for her, she had never encountered this.

But Eunji's thoughts were put to a halt when she saw a guy pinning Jungkook to a wall and slice his arm. She gritted her teeth and grabbed a hold of the blade before he could cause any more damage.

"Don't you dare touch him again," She spoke in a dark voice and gave the guy a good blow to the jaw. Jungkook could see the fury and fire blazing in her eyes. He had never seen her this way.

When she checked to see all the guys were unconscious, Eunji looked back over to Jungkook and saw the gash on his upper arm. Her gaze on him instantly softened, "Aigoo...you're bleeding."

She took his hand and hurried back to the dorm. Jungkook didn't say anything and just let her, for he was in shock of what he just saw. If Eunji is such a skilled fighter...then why doesn't she fight back against everyone who is hurting her?
