Black Heart (Book #1)

Chapter Forty

Kai's POV

Chanyeol and I were sitting in the study room waiting for Mr. and Mrs. Park to arrive. This was one of many meetings concerning my safety, except this time it was different. This might be the last meeting and for once put Mr. So where he finally belongs. I'm nervous to know how things will turn out. This plan can go either way and it scares me. I didn't want to lose everything that has meant so much to me over the years.

"It's going to be okay. Everything will turn out how it's supposed to". Chanyeol reassured me, but I still had my doubts. I looked over at Chanyeol feeling his eyes on me. "What if it doesn't Chanyeol? Will I have to deal with him for the rest of my life on the run? Or the fear of him actually getting what he wants just for the satisfaction of wiping me off the earth like he did my parents. I don't think I can handle running from him all my life. I'm tired Chanyeol. I just want a normal life". At this point I was second guessing everything.

"Hey, it's going to be okay mom and dad have probably figured something out. And don't worry I got your back. There's no way am I going to let Mr. So win. This time he will get caught". By Chanyeol's voice I could tell that he was determined which made me feel a little at ease. "I hope you're right about this". I bit my lip nervous of everything that will happen.

Chanyeol and I both looked up as the door opened to the study. My heart raced as they took seats across from us their expressions emotionless.

"We gathered you both here for a meeting of Kai getting his memories back and the meeting with Mr. So. Tomorrow night Kai is meeting up with Mr. So to retrieve the watch which consists of the black list. As soon as Mr. So asks for the watch we will jump in and take him to the headquarters where they will handle it from there. Kai, you are not to hand that over to him no matter what. While we were in the states we were unable to find more guards than we asked for. There we found two guards, but Chanyeol will be with you at all times. You will tell Mr. So yourself that you remember everything consisting of those events. As long as he is distracted from that we believe he won't pay attention to the watch. If everything goes as planned. If things seem to be going south we will just be outside to break you free. We'll be outside watching everything in the van". Mrs. Park said as she looked between us.

I looked between them feeling like this whole plan won't work. I want him locked away forever after everything he has put me through. "What if this plan never works and Mr. So is just as livid as ever? I seen him when he is angry and to be honest I don't want to be in that position again. He is more mad at me then ever because I had liked his daughter. I want this to be the last meeting, I just want my life to be normal". My fears were weighing on me heavily because I feared this would be the last of me.

"You won't have to worry about seeing him again after this because we're confident that we'll get him for good. With the guards you'll have there won't be a way for him to get to you. After this meeting is over you'll never have to wear that watch ever again Kai. We want to keep you safe as it was your parents wish to us. So while we were away you found yourself a girl you like more specifically Mr. So's daughter? The one that your mother killed hers". Mr. Park said a little shocked.

I nodded taking a deep breath that I didn't even know I was holding. "Yes, I fell for his daughter, the girl that my mom killed her mother. I never intended to fall for Kyung Mi. I tried staying away from her to the point where it made me physically sick to stay away. I tried protecting her when she got mixed up in my world. Gosh did I try staying away I tried protecting her from who I really was. I know it was a mistake letting her fall for me, but it just happened". My hearted ached with every word I said. I truly wanted her back but I knew that day would never come.

Suddenly Mr. Park stands up walking over to me. "You know very well that was against our rules. You were never of meant to of known one another let alone have puppy love with someone who is dangerous. Ms. So was never to find out of your real identity Kai. Your worlds were not meant to clash. But here we are in this situation. We had a policy in the contract that you were to not fall for her". He yelled pointing a finger at me.

I stood up feeling heat rush to my face. "I'm sorry Mr. Park for the disappointment, but a contract shouldn't determine who I can and can't like. I tried so many times to stay away from and her from me, but I couldn't help but save her when she was in danger. What was I supposed to do let that car hit her? Instead I chose myself as it was directed at me not her. I'm sorry but liking her just happened. You can't stop from liking someone when you can feel that they changed your heart. She made my heart warmer. She made me feel alive. But it looks like you got your wish we aren't together". I fumed storming out of the room and towards the only place that let me relieve my stress.

I ran out into the pouring rain not bothered by the rush of cold air the rain soaking me. I sat down in the garden drowning in the feelings I was feeling. I couldn't help but fall for Kyung Mi even though I wasn't supposed to. She changed me, made me see life in a whole new way. Kyung Mi wasn't like most girls, she was different more caring and not just wanting one thing from me. She was more down to earth, cared what you had to say and not just looks. Kyung Mi was one of a kind. Without her I wouldn't have found who I was or known what love would feel like. All I ever known was anger and I didn't want to live that way. It was too tiring. She changed my coal black heart to red as she shown me so many things. But my heart hurt without her.

. . .

The next day.

The house was oddly quiet as we ate breakfast. Mr. Park wouldn't dare look at me nor speak as he sat across from me. I picked up my plate and set it in the sink. "I'm headed to school". I said as I opened the front door. Behind me I could hear footsteps as I walked faster. I looked beside me noticing Chanyeol his expression tired looking. "Don't worry he'll come around. Ever since I was a kid I had to have contracts to, only because he was looking out for me. But that didn't last long when mom ripped them up. Anyway since you didn't eat I brought you an apple". Chanyeol handed me the red apple a smile coming to my lips. "Hey, there's that smile I hadn't seen in a while". Chanyeol joked with a tired smile. Concerned consumed me as I looked at him more closely.

"Always taking care of me I see hasn't changed. You haven't forgotten to take care of yourself have you?" I asked worriedly as the dark circles were prominent than usual. Chanyeol shrugged looking down. "I'm fine just tired is all. I appreciate your concern though. Eat up you need to keep your strength". Chanyeol said pointing to the apple. "Thanks for the apple and everything else". I thanked him as I took a bite.

. . .

When I arrived in the classroom everyone fell silent as all eyes were on me. My eyes met Kyung Mi's before she instantly looked away. My heart fell to my stomach as I could feel the shift between us. This wasn't what I wanted to happen. I sat down beside her wishing she'd say anything. Even a nod would make me feel better. But that wasn't what happened. Instead it was the opposite. Once the teacher came in and got settled Kyung Mi rose her hand.

"Yes, Kyung Mi?" The teacher asked catching everyone's attention. "May I sit somewhere else my vision isn't good". She asked. The teacher looked around before nodding. "You can move towards the second row since there is an empty seat". I watched as Kyung Mi glance at me briefly before packing her things, my heart shattering even more.

Guess I am really a bad person after all. It's true all Kyung Mi sees me as is the murders son. I'm nothing but the monster in her eyes. I never meant to hurt you, but I did anyway once I realized my feelings I was too late. I never got the chance to say I love you.
