5: your world is messed up

"How did you found me?"

"I have my ways"
Jaehyun started driving

"I'm surprised. I never thought you would be a 'big' gangster"

Jaehyun ignored Joanna's comment
"Now answer my question. What happened?"

"I'm pretty sure you have ways to find out about that as well"

"I have. But I want to hear it from you"

Something looked really different. Jaehyun didn't have that much 'joy' or 'funniess' in his voice. But more of 'seriousness' .

"My step father was forcing me to merry his friend's son"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"What difference would it had made?"

Joanna feel the increasing speed of the car. She glanced at Jaehyun who had a very angry look on. Joanna couldn't understand why

"Who do you want me to kill? Your father, his friend or the son"

"..Perhaps all?"

"I don't want you to kill anyone. Are you crazy?"

"In my world. If we don't like anyone. We kill"

"Your world is messed up"

"Then what do you want?!"

"I just....want to never to go back"

"But my dad has power. And he will look for me. Eventually he'll find me and I'm not even sure what he will do this time.."

"I can't even tell any of my friends about this. It'll put them in danger. I ran away but I don't know what to do. I've never felt this helpless.."

"So. Fucking. Helpless."

"Come with me, nothing will happen"

"Go with you? I can't depend on someone else"

"Do you have a better option? Are you gonna live on the streets?
Or do you have any money? Even if you find a place to live, you'll get caught"

"But I---"

Joanna looked down. She knew she didn't have any option. Jaehyun probably has power, that can protect her against Mr.Lee.

'Do I really have to go?' Her face really did show happiness. She looked outside the window trying to hide her tears. But Jaehyun knew she was crying

Again, she had to make everything look real.

"Don't cry. It makes me want to rip their heads off"

"Don't ever harm them!"

"Why do you care so much???"

"Because Mr.Lee is Mark's father, the person who is like a brother to me...and whoever that guy was. I'm sure he was forced into this"

"Then make a decision."

"Get out of this car right now. And soon you'll go back to your pitiful life."

"Or put your ignorance aside and come with me and things might get better"

Joanna was shocked. Jaehyun clearly looked angry and a bit scary. She put her hands on her face and she started sobbing

Jaehyun stopped the car.

He took her hands in his and gave her an unexpected hug. Joanna stopped sobbing

"I'm sorry"

"Joanna look, this is how I really am. I forgot you never saw me like this. I shouldn't have been harsh"
He said out of guilt
