MY INNOCENCE 🌸 || p.jm ✔︎

| 57 |

My leg pained me, and I didn't want to get up.. I think I sprung it or something. Never the less, I pulled myself out of bed, going to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. After that, clean my wound and changed my bandages, hobbling off to the kitchen.

"Good morning sleepy head." Emily greeted me.

"What time is it?"

"Noon." I sat on one of the stools as Emily placed the breakfast in front of my face. My stomach was leaping for joy, begging me to stuff a pancake in it.

"How's your leg?" Shownu asked.

"Manageable." I shrugged. "Did you feed him?"

"Who?"

"Just. The guy you put in the basement last night."

"I really forgot about him." I sighed, eating a bit before getting up, fixing a plate, heading downstairs. I picked up the keys that were hanging on the wall so I could unlock the door. Poor guy must be starving.

The darkness consumed me for a brief second before I pulled the light switch. He was sitting up, on the bed, staring out the barred window.

"Are you hungry? I have breakfast."

"I'm not hungry."

"Are you sure?"

"What do you want? Why am I here?" He ignored my question.

"What I want, is for you to eat. And you're here because there's a bounty on your head. Those guys want you dead, I however want to know why?"

"They don't tell you things?"

"Not everything, they're being very secretive about one particular thing, that's why they want you dead. So Just, what dirty deeds have you've been participating in?"

"Who going to protect my wife?"

"I have people on that-

"Oh really!?" He sneered. "How's your leg? You can barely take care of yourself."

"I'm quite capable of taking care of myself thank you." I snapped.

"What if I'm a murderer, I could kill you right this second."

"My husband is Park Jimin and Changkyun who wants you dead, has a little thing for me, oh and I have other people that will avenge me, so if you kill me, the person that is protecting you, then you're a dead man walking." He swallowed thickly before changing his posture.

"A month ago, there was a stock crash at my job, they let people go and I had bills. The guy that was at the market.. he offered me a job and said that I can pay off my house in a week so like any other person that needs money, I accepted. I wanted to get out after that week but he wouldn't let me, said I was in for good. After that I ran."

"So you were supposed to do a few drops and then done, but he backed out?"

"Yes." He replied, picking up the fork.

"That seems a bit much for a dropper."

"You don't say no to her."

"Her? You mean him?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Yeah." He swallowed his food harshly before drinking his orange juice. "I'm really hungry." I nodded while watching him eat.

"Well you can leave soon, then you should watch out for that guy. You know he goes by the name of E.M. so be careful."

"Yeah, E.M. got it." He smiled as I stood up. I said nothing further before going upstairs. I made sure to lock the door, then I made my way to the kitchen.
