Serial Killer [J.JK]

The stranger beside me

Yumi had her luggage packed. She grabbed a taxi and drove to the airport. Jungkook's number lit up her phone once she turned it on but all she did was declined his calls.

She needed someone to talk to, someone who can hear her out and The first person who came across her mind was Namjoon so she dialed his number.

No answer.

She calls and again no answer. She dialed her brother and he immediately picked up.

"Yumi," seokjin says worried. "Where are you?!"

"I'm—" "Yumi you have to come home fast." Yoongi says cutting her off. "We've been trying to contact you for a while now."

"Is there something wrong?"

"I'll explain once you get here just come."

"Cant you tell me now? I'm about to have a breakdown in the middle of the airport because jungkook is an asshole and he won't stop calling me."

"It's about him." Jin said.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He's a suspect of Korea's most wanted serial killer and we had trial the day before you guys left."

Yumi goes numb. She felt her heart pounding in her ears.  She looks up from the floor and felt her world going in slow motion.

"Yumi?"

"Yumi are you okay?"

"H-how is he-?" She asks with her voice cracking.

"You have to be here in order for me to explain." Yoongi said.

"Yumi!" Somebody yells from the distance.

"I can't go today." Yumi whispers through the phone once her head turned to the person yelling. "I have to go. Jungkook's here."

She hangs up and stands up. Jungkook ran in front of her catching his breath. "I'm sorry." He says cupping her face. "I'm so sorry." He plants a kiss on her lips but she doesn't give the same energy back.

"Yumi I didn't mean to act the way I did. I was just jealous."

"I-it's fine." She says looking at him eye to eye. The news hit her pretty hard it was difficult for her to say anything.

"Come let's go back to the hotel. We can go back home tomorrow." He said wrapping an arm around her. She nods and let's him drag her away.

At the hotel jungkook tried starting a conversation but her answers were short. She couldn't get her mind off the news.

"I'm talking to you." Jungkook said.

"I'm sorry I'm tired." She responded looking down at her lap.

Jungkook who was laying on the bed, hugs her and slowly drags her body down to the covers. "Let's sleep then."

An hour later he was sleeping. Yumi was up thinking about everything.

She didn't want to imagine jungkook hurting other women.

It was hurting her.

"Are you really the serial killer?"

"Did you hurt them?"

Yumi didn't know that jungkook had slit a girls throat after she arrived to the bar.

He was lucky enough to spot her and send her home.

It was morning and Yumi hasn't slept a bit. Her eyebags were big and dark.

Jungkook woke up and eyed her weirdly before getting up.

She felt sick. It's like her body wasn't coping with the news and it made her feel sick in the stomach. She badly wanted to throw up but she couldn't.

"Are you okay?" Jungkook asked reaching over to hug her but she was quick to scoot away from his touch.

His eyes widen and he froze. "Yumi?"

Yumi looks up at him and doesn't say anything.

"What the hell is wrong?" He asked exploring her face. "You look sick."

"I'm not."

Yumi got up and tried to walk to the bathroom but she got dizzy. "What the fuck." She muttered under her breath.

"You're acting weird." Jungkook said.

There was a silence. She stopped walking and turned back to look at him. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what?" He asked confused

"About the trial."

Jungkook was speechless. He moved foward and tried to touch her but she backed away again. "Yumi I was goi-"

"Liar," she said with red eyes. "You weren't."

"I promise you I'm innocent." He said with a shaky voice. "I would never hurt a women like that and you know that."

Yumi's just quiet looking at him. He steps forward and touches her face. "I had a trial before we came and their was a witness who swore she saw me leave Wendy's house And you know I was working that night. She lied. She mistook me with someone else and now I'm under all this investigation and I made us go on this vacation so I can take a break from everything that's going on."

"Yumi Do you believe me?" Jungkook asks looking at her eye to eye. "Do you?"

Yumi nods and placed her hands on top of his. "I do. I know you're not a killer."

Jungkook brought her body close and hugs her. "I knew you would believe me. I love you."

"I love you too," she said. "But we have to go. You have a trial."
