Don't Deserve You || Jensoo

Chapter 58

A shot rang out and echoed off the walls of the abandoned building.

Jennie's head swerved towards the door at the sound of the gunshot.

Jennie: What's going? What's happening? No. It can't be dad. It can't be...

The brunette pulls harder on the ropes that binded her to her chair as tears rolled down her cheeks. Her body screams in protest as blood drips down from her torn skin.

Despite the pain, she continues to fight against her restraints.

Jennie: Let me out! Kim Hanbin! Lee Seungri! Let me out you fucking bastards! Don't you dare hurt my dad!

Jennie continues to scream until her voice was raw and dry. She can no longer feel her hands as they were numb from the pain.

She felt weak and helpless. There was nothing she could do. Her father could be hurt or dead and she had no way of saving him.

The brunette lets her head drop downwards as she burst into tears.

Amidst the echo of her sobs within the dimly lit room, Jennie heard the door creek open. She quickly looks up to catch Hanbin's figure standing by the doorway.

Jennie: Where's my father? What have you done to him?

Hanbin slowly approaches Jennie, remorse etched across his face.

Hanbin: I'm so sorry that you're being forced to go through this Jennie-ah. I'm sorry for the pain that my father has caused you. The pain that I've caused.

Jennie: Hanbin listen to me. It's not too late. You can still turn back. Just let me go. Please. I'm begging you.

Hanbin remains rooted in his place despite Jennie's pleas. He looks at the tied up brunette before him and breaks into an emotional mess.

Hanbin: I can't betray him Jennie-ah. Despite everything he's done, he's the person who had saved me from my misery. If it weren't for him I would've died on the streets long ago.

Jennie releases a growl filled with frustration.

Jennie: But don't you get it?! He's a monster! He only saved you for his own personal gain! How can you be so blinded by that?! He'll discard of you once you have no more use! He was willing to betray his own best friends Hanbin-ah! He's planning on killing my father tonight if you don't help me stop him! Seungri will only commit more crimes if you let him!

Hanbin falls to ground lost in his own thoughts. Jennie took this as a sign of weakness in the former's resolve and continues to try to get through to him.

Jennie: Listen to me Hanbin-ah. That man isn't who you think he is. He's a monster. You can't let him continue to use you like this.

Hanbin clutched his head in frustration as he tries to block out Jennie's voice that continues to feed onto his doubts. He didn't want it to turn out like this.

Jennie wasn't supposed to get caught up in the middle of this mess.

Hanbin: I... I...

Jennie: Look at me Hanbin-ah! Look at me!

The older boy lifts his head and shifts his eyes towards the brunette.

Jennie: You're better than this okay? You're better than Seungri! You're not like him. So please! Help me save my father! Let me go!

Hanbin gazes at Jennie with conflicted eyes as he contemplated on what to do.

He didn't want to hurt Jennie, but he didn't want to betray the man who had not only raised him but was also the person who had saved him from his past.
