Provoked

Prologue

"She was either wildly naïve or dangerously intelligent"

Jennie's POV,

The cool breeze brushing my soft skin sending shivers all over my body. My mind is taken away with all those haunting thoughts that appear in my nightmares. It was supreme calm and fierce at the same time. It felt like the storm has just passed with flying colours. But all these lasts for a short period especially for people like me. We can't afford happiness since its too expensive. We can give pain as it's my cup of tea.

Even if I wish for this moment to last but I don't want it so. I brought up myself on my own to face this harsh reality after all that's what it is worth living for. Shutting the devil in and expressing an angelic personality is a piece of cake. The difficult thing for an Angel is to bring the demon she never thought she would be. We never knew what happens next. We can't be that clueless. The solution always stays with the problem.

I can't say I am alone here but people disappear in my life like they never existed in the first place. It's weird to call it as 'people' since I have countable ones who care for me. I never wanted the love and affection they give me nevertheless I give them pain in return. I am not what people picture me as. I painted my character that turned out useless.

He sat next to me in the cue that he doesn't want to disturb the fight between my inner self and conscience. He got himself laced with clothes and a scarf that the chill breeze can give no harm to him. I pulled my knees together to make myself comfortable in the seashore. Waves were sound but what I heard was some numerous things running over my head that will never stop until my last breath. Maybe that could be guilt.

Every day I fell so excruciating emotionally eventually, it gets pilled with more than imaginable. I know one day it will end and someone will rescue me out of this.

"It's quiet" he mumbled but loud for me to hear it. He meant I am quiet which seems unusual for him. We shared this strange relationship that neither of us took an effort to define it neatly. I always ignore his words like they never mattered to me but he knows that I care.

People get bounded into bizarre situations that makes us choose between our loved ones and most of them fail to choose the right one. That's where my brother lost by making an impractical choice.

"Let's leave it's getting cold " I said.

It's been hours in this place sitting like a dumb while my legs and fingers go numb. I stood up brushing off the non-existent dust on my feet and pulled my jacket closer to protect me from catching a cold. I wasn't bothering whether he is following me or not but I walked as if I am gonna cut the chase not interested in wasting my precious time.

I opened the door of my Volvo and popped in waiting for him to take over the passenger seat. I was driving peacefully and I sighed in response.

"What's your plan next?" I asked without taking my eyes off the narrow path I am driving.

"I am moving to states" he replied and I saw it coming.

"And then?" I waited for him to proceed.

"While I am away Mark will be staying in our place for your safety and please don't bring Chaeyoung over our place and I don't wanna hear that again." I was in awe not knowing how to react over this sudden situation.

"How can you allow that asshole to our place?. I told you his behaviour the last time he visited ours's. How can you trust him after all that happened?" I was fuming in anger just hearing his name.

"You have to understand it, Jen he may be a jerk sometimes but you can trust him. He has respect for both of us" he explained.

"This is not about me. I am talking about Chaeyoung. I will never take the risk when it comes to her" I said it as stern as possible.
