Missing Puzzels||Kim Junkyu

9) The Past

TW: This chapter contains s*icide, self harm, panic attacks and kidnapping, I will add a warning before the paragraph of the s*icide and self harm and right before the moment, after it ends I will announce it too. The kidnapping is the overall story of this chapter so I can't warn you, I tried to keep it as mellow as possible. I will add a warning before the panic attack, since its a little graphic,in my opinion, if you ever feel triggered by this chapter please stop reading.

I entered my house after the double date. My aunt was supposed to be home by now but the lights were out and it was oddly quiet. I turned on the lights and walked into the house. "Aunt? Are you here?" I asked. There was no answer, I started shaking my head, my eyes teary. I quickly went to the living room and turned on the TV. My breath calmed down, I noticed a note on the coffee table, I approached the table and took the note.

"If you want her back come back to me
-C.S"

Tw: panic attack

The note read and I shook my head. Not this again, please just not this. It can't be happening. My breath quickened as memories came flowing back in. Not this again. Not again. Please not again. Kept on going on in my head as I shook it. I crouched down and clutched the sides of my head, covering my ear as I felt ringing in my ears, my breath was too quick, I felt light headed my eyes were teary and I was trying to regain my composure but it was to no avail. I fainted on the living room floor.

[End]

I came back home after ending it completely with Seungyoun. I had enough of his bs, he had a girlfriend and he had no business messing with me. "Mom! I'm home!" I yelled and there was no answer. I frowned and looked around the house, I noticed it was very messy, books on the floor, clothes, tables. It felt odd as my mom was a very neat person. But was the most odd was the tables fallen over why would they be there? It makes no sense.

I entered my mom's room and noticed on her vanity a note, thinking it was from my mom I sighed in relief and took it. But it wasn't from my mom, my eyes widened at the note and I started tearing up. No way it was real.

"You shouldn't have done that Mina. Now you'll pay. Its either you or your mom. Pick. Come to xxxx xxx xxxx xxx if you want your mom to live.
-C.S"

My eyes teared up and I broke down and cried for a couple minutes. I breathed in and out and took my phone. I quickly dialed the police. "Hello? Yes, I would like to report a kidnapping. Uhhh its my mom yeah. My name? Park Mina. Uh they wrote to meet at xxxx xxx xxxx xxx if I want to see her alive. It doesn't specify an hour but I would assume soon. I think the suspect is Cho Seungyeon. I live in xxx xxxx xxxx xxx. Please come soon." The call ended and I was left on my mom's bedroom floor, crying with only the quiet surrounding me.

I woke up to a sweet sound beside me. "Eunmi! Eunmi! Wake up!" The voice yelled, I groaned and opened my eyes to see a handsome koala in front of me. "Kyu?" I asked. He smiled and pulled me into a tight hug. He let go and I noticed the note Cho Seungyoun left was in his hand. It wasn't a nightmare after all. Junkyu cupped my face and looked into my blank eyes, his were full with worry. "I called the police, its gonna be ok." Junkyu said and tears escaped my eyes. My hand were shaky. "I-I can't lose another family member Junkyu." I choked through my tears. He pulled me into a hug yet again and soothed me. "Its gonna be okay Eunmi. You're gonna be ok, your aunt is gonna be ok." He said softly and I melted in his touch and voice. One thing which changed everything this time was I had Junkyu. I had someone who would support me mentally.

Tw: this paragraph contains self harm

The cops arrived at my house, I was a crying mess but stopped as soon as they came in. We drove to the location that was written on the paper. Without me noticing [start] I started scratching myself out of nervousness, [end] I hoped my mom was still alive and well. We got there and the cops got out of the car, at the front stood Seungyoun, he had a knife against my mom's throat and the cops had their guns pointing at him. He looked frantically around like an insane man. "She's my soulmate! You don't understand! We're meant to be!" He yelled, I cursed under my breath and got out if the car, finally letting my anger out.

"Yah! Cho Seunyoun! I'm not your soulmate! You have no puzzle necklace! Stop with that bullshit!" I yelled at him and he looked surprised. He dropped the knife and dropped to his knees crying and whipping like a small child. The police quickly arrested him while he wasn't in his senses. I saw my mom drop to the floor and my eyes widened. I ran over to her and checked for pulse. I didn't feel any. I started panicking, I started performing CPR but it was too late. My mom died of a heart attack. It was confirmed in the hospital. You couldn't arrest the idiot for murder, only kidnapping and attempted murder, and his sentence was shortened because he was deemed mentally ill. But he still got 2 years in prison. The police decided that its best I move to Seoul to live with my aunt, and that's what I did.

The cops arrived at my place and I explained the situation. I gave my views on why I think its Seungyoun, his initials on the paper and the past of him kidnapping my mom. Since there was no address on this note it took longer to find my aunt and Seungyoun. Throughout the whole process Junkyu was by my side, supporting me when needed, comforting me and most importantly, just being there with me. It was more then what I could ask for. The cops did their best at finding Seungyoun and eventually they managed to track his phone to an abandoned building. The cops, me and Junkyu got out and entered the building. We saw Seungyoun in the middle laughing, he had a gun in his hand.

Tw: the next paragraph contains s*icide

"What a slut you are, Mina." He said and laughed like a mad man, the cops had guns pointed at him watching his every move, I saw my aunt at the corner, alive and well. "I knew you'll come with cops again, like a snitch, and have your sorry excuse of a soulmate." Seungyoun said and pointed his gun in your direction. Junkyu held tightly onto you and moved in front of you. "How is he any better then me? He's a player too, he's not even that handsome, I'm much better looking. But yet you choose him." He said and chuckled. [Start] He pointed his gun at his own head. "You'll regret it." He said and shot himself. [End] I screamed in horror. Junkyu turned around and hugged me into his chest so I wouldn't have to look at the horrible sight. The police lowered their guns, they released my aunt and we all walked out.

I was shaking from the shook of what happened. My aunt hugged me. "I'm so sorry my child, I took you in so you would avoid such a situation again but I failed." She cried and I cried with her. I broke our hug and looked at Junkyu, I hugged him tightly and cried into his chest. "Thank you so much for being with me." I said, he hugged me back and kissed the top of my head. "Of course, Eunmi. I'll always be here for you."
