SPLIT (COMPLETED)

leave, Mr Stranger

The drizzling rain does not stop Chaeyoung from chasing the man who just took away the precious things his wife had. She feels angry with what the man just did to his wife so she quietly follows him as he tries to flee by waiting for a taxi at the bus stand nearby.

She knows the man does not realized that he is being followed so she startles him from behind with a hard push on his shoulder. She pushes him hard to pay back for what he did to her in front of his house earlier. He deserves it, she says in her mind.

"You're not going anywhere with that box.", Chaeyoung says as the man turns around to see her.

He clutches the jewelry box to his chest with both of his hands. He backs away from Chaeyoung slowly as he tells her to not disturb him. However, Chaeyoung does not listen to it and she takes a step forward towards him until they get to the middle of the road.

"That belongs to your wife. How could you take it away from her?", she asks him as she points to the box.

"I'm her husband. I have the right to do whatever I want with what she has. Especially when I was the one who gave her these things.", Chansung bravely shouts back in respond.

Chaeyoung smirks at him for the dumb reply he gave her. He is not taking her seriously, is he? He thinks she is just a lady trying to help another lady in need. He thinks she is weak just like his wife.

"You're her husband, right. But, you're not doing what a husband should've done. You're irresponsible to your wife! A jerk!", Chaeyoung says angrily before she hits Chansung hard on his shoulders.

He is taken aback by Chaeyoung's strength but he does not want to back down easily. He keeps holding the jewelry box in his hands firmly.

"I'm a jerk, so what? You're no one to me. Just leave and don't interrupt me.", he says as he gives a sharp glare to Chaeyoung.

"I am no one to you but you made me come out! I hate people who trigger me to come out.", she says in which makes Chansung confused.

He frowns and asks, "What are you talking about, bitch?"

Hearing the word he addressed her as, Chaeyoung laughs cynically before she tries to grab the box in his hands.

"What? Hey, let go!", he shouts as he tries to push her away from him.

However, Chaeyoung's hands are strong enough to hit him hard on his arms making him yell in pain. He had to let go of the box and it falls to the hard ground of the road. Some of the jewelries fall out from the box too.

"I hate people calling me a bitch.", Chaeyoung says before she kicks him in the groin making him groaning in pain. "That's for calling me a bitch.", she whispers to his left ear before she slaps his cheek hard. "And that's for being a jackass.", she tells him before she gets down to pick up the jewelry box back.

While she is busy looking down and putting the jewelry back into the box, Chansung gathers his strength again before making a fist as he stares down at her.

When he is going to push Chaeyoung back, a shout coming from the roadside startles him. "Stop what you're doing!", the voice shouts at him. He looks at the person at the roadside who is now walking towards him and Chaeyoung.

"Wha...aish!", Chansung gets scared seeing the hoodied man coming for him so he stops a taxi that is at the road opposite the ones he is standing at before getting inside it quickly. Then, he tells the taxi driver to drive away from the neighbourhood as he looks at the man and Chaeyoung at the road.

Chaeyoung remains calm as she stands up and looks at the man that suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of her. She gives him a glare as she wipes away the drizzling rain water off of her face. She keeps the jewelry box in her hands carefully before she starts walking to the roadside back.

"Wait, miss. Are...are you okay?", the man asks as he slowly walks towards her.

Chaeyoung stops and stares at him for a second. "I'm fine so please stop following me.", she says to him before continuing to walk back to her neighbour's house.

"Wait, it's raining. Here, take this umbrella.", he tells her as he walks passed her and stands in front of her handing his black umbrella to her.

"I don't need it. Thank you.", she replies as she moves slightly away from him and continues to walk away from there.

However, she feels the rain not dropping to her skin anymore before she realizes the reason why. She turns around and grabs the umbrella from the man before putting it down.

"I said I don't need it and I tell you to leave, stranger.", Chaeyoung says to him. He gulps with her braveness to reply coldly like that to him. He wonders if she does not feel scared walking all alone that late night.

"I'll leave but I really hope you'll use the umbrella. You might catch fever if you keep walking under the rain like this.", he says as he looks at her with concern.

The thunder rumbling sound is heard again making Chaeyoung flinched a bit.

"The rain will get worse, you need it.", he adds as he sees how her hand is shivering as she holds the box close to herself.

"Shit, this weak girl.", Chaeyoung mumbles quietly as the box almost slipped off from her hand.

"What were you saying?", the man who is still being nosy with her asks but she ignores him and harshly shoves the umbrella to his chest. "I don't need your umbrella and I want you to leave, Mr Stranger. Don't try to care about me, please.", Chaeyoung says before she walks speedily away from there as she realizes the rain is getting much worse than before.

"I just wanted to help...", he says but just in a slow volume as the thunder interrupts him.

He stands still while watching the girl who keeps calling him 'stranger' getting far and far away from him. He watches until he sees the box in her hand falls to the ground and she, herself faints beside it.

"No!", Jungkook takes a big step to reach her as it starts to rain heavily.
