VENGEANCE

30. Adrenaline

"Yah, Lisa-yah!" Namjoon hollered. Lisa froze as she heard his voice. 'What the hell is he doing here?' she thought. 

"Honey, what are you doing here, huh? Didn't you say that you were going home?" Namjoon asked, his voice dripping with sweetness. "D-Didn't you say you were sick? What the hell are you doing here?" Lisa asked, glancing behind Namjoon to make sure Yoongi wasn't back yet. 

"I missed you, baby! After all, you left without getting a proper kiss from me. It killed me from inside that my love left without getting what she wanted. But then again, I am wrong, aren't I? 

You did get what you wanted, didn't you? One million dollars, huh? ONE MILLION DOLLARS!! WHO THE HELL GAVE YOU PERMISSION???? IF YOU NEEDED MONEY, ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS ASK!!!! Guess what!! I wasn't even angry about it. 

'There might have been some emergency. Maybe she was too embarrassed to tell me about it. It's okay, she will tell me in the future'. That's what I thought. But what are you doing with Yoongi, huh? Are you playing with both of us? Well, I don't care! Cause I am gonna kiss you no matter what. NOTHING WILL STOP ME TONIGHT!!" Namjoon yelled and let out a sly laugh.

"Namjoon, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you doing this?" Lisa protested as she tried to get out of his hold. But it was too strong for her. He was heart broken, he was angry, he was drunk, and it was a very bad combination. But he didn't realize that. 

"Why are you pushing me away, honey?? Don't you like your boyfriend?? Ohh, wait! You never loved me, right? You just tolerated me for the money! It's a good thing I found out immediately, or who knows how much more I would have lost? 

If you asked me, I would have given you 100 million dollars without even thinking about it! What bothers me is that you stole it! Can you believe it, baby? Huh? Forget it! I need to show Yoongi that you are mine. He should know how you are. Both of us are fools for falling for a girl like you" Namjoon said and bent down to kiss her, without letting go of his bottle. 

"NAMJOON, LET GO OF ME!! WHAT THE HELL?? LET GO!!!!" she yelled and used all of her strength to push him away. "Wow, now that you got what you wanted, you are pushing me away, huh? Do what you want, but I am NOT gonna let you go tonight!!" he said, forcing himself on her again. 

She started yelling for help, but they were in an isolated area after all, and people couldn't hear her. Unfortunately for them, the road didn't have CCTV cameras either. But that didn't matter, because Namjoon wasn't thinking straight. 

"Shut up, you bitch! Shut the fuck up before I stick this bottle down your throat" he threatened, but she didn't stop. 

"WHAT THE HELL?? WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU???" Namjoon turned back to see Yoongi running across the street. The distance was far enough for Yoongi to not recognize Namjoon in his hoodie. Yoongi ran towards their direction, but it was too late.

Namjoon hit his bottle on the wall and stabbed her in panic. 

"NAMJOON!!!!!! HYOJOO! HYOJOO! OHH MY GODD, WHAT THE HELL? HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY?? WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO? OHH MY GOOD, SHE IS BLEEDING TOO MUCH!!" Yoongi panicked as he placed her on his lap and tried to pull the glass out.

"What the hell happened, Namjoon?? Why did you do this?? Hyojoo!!" Yoongi sobbed. Namjoon remained frozen at his spot, starting at the body with horrified eyes. He had no idea what to do. 

He took a step back, still starting at the body. It then hit him. He finally understood what horrible act he had done and what option he had in front of him. He had to run away. There was no other way. He suddenly took off and ran away, yelling "Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" over and over again. 

Yoongi couldn't stop him. In fact, he couldn't think of anything else except Hyojoo. He called an ambulance for her and tried taking the glass out without thinking about the fact that the bottle was wet with alcohol all over it. 

He didn't realize that because of the alcohol, Namjoon's fingerprints were no longer present on the bottle. And that he was clearly putting his fingerprints on it. Soon, he could hear the siren nearing them. Not one, but two sirens. The police and the ambulance.

............................

"JACKSON!! JACKSON!! GET DOWN FAST" Namjoon yelled frantically as he ran to his room. He took out the emergency documents that were lying in the last draw of his drawer. 

Every business man hoped that he would never have to use the emergency documents, but Namjoon had no choice now. He had to run away. 

He hurriedly signed all of them, writing all of the inheritance, houses and the business off to Jackson. He hurriedly packed a few essentials in a duffel bag, took as much money as he could take and ran back down.

"Hyung? What the hell? What happened? You look like shit" Jackson exclaimed. "I don't have time to explain anything. I need to go. I don't know if or when I might come back. Don't look for me, just follow the instructions in those papers. I love you, take care" he said, hugging him and kissing him on his temple before literally running away from the house. 

Jackson couldn't understand anything, but he didn't have a chance to voice out what he thought. He sat back down and read those papers that declared that the business and the fortune now belonged to him. 

Namjoon hurriedly took a taxi to the station and took a train to Seoul. He wandered the streets for a couple of days before finding a place to stay. To say he was traumatized by what happened would be an understatement. But he had to move on with his life. 

After a week of searching for a job, he met one of his neighbours, who offered him a job in his cafe. It took a lot of time for him to overcome the incident, but he slowly did it. 

That is, until Yoongi came back into his life and started working in the cafe. All of the guilt, shame and fear that he tried to bury down came rushing back the second he saw his face. 

He wanted to run away again, but he knew that it wouldn't be long before Yoongi caught up with him again. 

But he couldn't look at Yoongi's face without remembering the horrible things that he had done. So he had tried to make himself as busy as he could during the daytime and had drowned himself with drinks in the night. 

He promised himself that he would pay for his mistakes. He put up with all of Yoongi's torture and abuse because he knew that he deserved it. 

But now that he explained the situation, he felt the desperate craving to make it up to Yoongi and become friends again. He wanted to feel his warmth again. He wanted things to go back to normal between the two of them again. 

When Yoongi first started abusing him, he didn't want to tell him the truth and hurt him further by letting him know that the woman he had loved dearly was his own girlfriend and that she had cheated on Yoongi from the very first second of their relationship, but he realized that there was no use hiding the truth from him.

'She is dead, after all. It doesn't matter anymore' he thought as he explained what happened to Yoongi and everyone else.
