A Part of Me [Completed] ✅

Chapter 16

I watched my little bitch from afar. Fuck, he was still so fucking gorgeous. I swear, if I hadn't had to go away back then, he would never be here today. I would have ensured that he stayed with me. But my little bitch seemed to have sprouted wings. Well, nothing lasts forever and I'll be sure to chop those wings off very soon. Who the fuck does he think he is? He made a deal with me, the devil, and there's no way in Hell, that I'll ever let him forget it! It's time for payment and I've come to collect........

Seokjin

It's been a week since my hyungie left for China. I was definitely sad that he had to leave but I know he had no other choice. Afterall he has to work and he can't stay away from Seojoon for that long.

I smiled quietly as I plated a French nouvelle cuisine dish.

Yeonjun came up to the counter and I smiled at him before he collected the order.

"Chef, there's a guy out here asking for you. Probably wants to thank you for the meal. You sure do attract the good looking ones, huh chef," he winked at me naughtily.

This child. He was so sweet. He too was one of my recruits from our former working place. I really love my staff. They're very hard-working and dedicated. It hasn't been easy on any of us to make this transition but we've all persevered and fought our own demons to get us where we are today.

I wiped my hands on my apron and set my hair neatly before making my way out to the front. The doors swung open and I smiled happily, waiting for Yeonjun to point out the customer.

I froze on the spot. The blood in my veins turned to ice and I almost passed out if Yeonjun had not been next to me to catch me when I swooned.

"Chef! Are you okay?" He held onto me tightly.

"T-take me inside Yeonjun. Quickly!"

He did as I bid of him. This can't be happening! Not now. Not after all these years. Why now? I sat down on one of the chairs in the kitchen while Yeonjun and Taehyun fussed over me. I drank some water and calmed down for a bit but I needed to get out of there before he discovered me.

Soobin assured me that he would lock up for the night and I thanked him profusely before heading out the back way to my apartment. I unlocked my door to enter, when a cold voice behind me spoke out into the night. I stopped and fear consumed my whole body as I turned to face him.

"Well hello maechunbu. Long time no see." His eery voice grated on my nerves. I started to tremble. "Aren't you going to invite an old friend inside your home?"

"I-I'm s-sorry M-master. I didn't know you were back." I tried composing myself but it was difficult. He wasn't a warm person, neither was he an old friend.

"That's okay my little amkae. Sometimes your memory needs to be juggled. That's why I'm back here to help you. You seem to have forgotten your place. Let Master remind you. Come!"

I flinched horribly, quickly locking my door and following him into the dark night. Although it was a warm evening, I shivered terribly. Following him like this, brought back many memories of me being meek and submissive. All the things that I'd been fighting to rid myself of.

"Hurry up amkae! You think I have time for your slow ass!"

Don't do it Jin! Get yourself out of here! There's no way you'll be able to get back if you go now! Run Jin! RUN!

My inner voice assaulted my senses and I was just about to make a break for it when a car pulled up right next to me, startling me. Before I could react, the driver rolled down the window and leaned out.

"Hey Jin! Jinnie! Get in! Why are you walking this way? Isn't your home the other way around?"

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw who it was.

"Taehyungie! I was just going for a walk."

"At this hour? Are you crazy? Get in!" He insisted.

My eyes roamed the street for him but I couldn't find him. No doubt, he was alerted to Taehyung's presence and had hidden himself. He was an expert at hiding himself in shadows where he lurked, ready to destroy lives.

I got in quickly beside Taehyung and held onto his hand firmly. He knitted his brows but thankfully, refrained from commenting. I needed his warmth right now. I was a trembling mess.

He drove away quickly. I didn't notice where we were until I realised he hadn't turned back to my apartment, instead, we were almost near his hotel.

He pulled out his phone and handed it to me wordlessly. I looked at him in confusion.

"Call Jungkook now. Tell him I took ill and you're staying at my hotel suite with Soobin until I'm better. Do it now!"

I decided it was best not to comment. And I did as he had instructed.

"Hyungie? It's Jinnie."

"Hey baby. I was asleep. Are you okay?"

Shit! I'd forgotten he was in China.

"I'm sorry hyungie. I forgot. I'm okay. I'm calling to tell you that I'll be staying with Taehyungie for a few days as he's very ill. Soobin will also be staying with us."

"What happened? Is he very bad? Should he not be in hospital?"

"No, he did go and now he's back home. He's....he's weak. So, we'll be taking care of him for just a few days."

"Okay angel. I love you. Please give him my best and I hope he gets well soon. I love you so much jagiya. I miss you. Stay safe. Okay."

"I love you too hyungie. I promise, I'll be safe. I miss you too. Bye. .."

"Bye baby."

I ended the call and looked at Taehyung. "Why did I just lie to Jungkook?"

He sighed heavily. "Soobin called me. He told me what happened at the restaurant. He was very worried about you so I went to your apartment and you were not there. I didn't want you to tell Jungkook the truth for now. He might misinterpret my motives for bringing you here to my room instead of taking you home. I don't think you're safe going back there for now anyway. You left your phone at the shop, so I couldn't contact you. I was going crazy when I couldn't find you so I drove around hoping to find you. My luck that I spotted you with that guy. What were you doing with him Jin? Who is he to you?"

The tears rolled down thick and fast. Taehyung pulled up into the parking lot of his hotel and switched his car off. He pulled me close and hugged me. He felt so warm and safe. I held onto him and cried for a while, he soothed me with soft words and calming strokes to my back. When I'd calmed down sufficiently enough, I wiped my tears and he took me up to his room.

After a hot shower and some warm cocoa, we sat down together in the warmth of his room and I finally found the courage to tell him my story.
