Chapter 16 *repost*

"The killer is him!"


"He's right behind you!"


"AHH!"


"Why didn't she take off her damn heels before running?"


"Tsk. Stupid heroine."


"Yah... will you all shut it?"


Their noise blended with the racket happening on the living room as I busy myself in the kitchen. Since it's one of their rare day off, they all have gathered in the dorm and just hanging around doing nothing. I think they had planned today to have a horror-movie-marathon.


"Hyung, do we still have some snacks?" I turn my head to see Jungkook on the archway of the kitchen holding an empty bowl and pouting. Aigoo, he looks like a little boy who wants sweets. I grab a kitchen towel to dry my wet hands and make my way to their small pantry.


"I think we still have some here. Sweet or salty?" I asked, pushing few of the dry goods aside to see two remaining snacks hidden behind.


"Uhm, sweet!"


"Just like our precious baby." I teased him as I open it and pour all of the content on his bowl.


"Tsk. I'm not a baby." Jungkook pouted even more and I really can't resist to ruffle his hair. He bat my hand away and scowl at me but I just smiled at him.


"Whatever our dongsae says." He walk away, ignoring my chuckle. After few minutes of cleaning my area, I make my way towards their noise and shake my head at the sight. The lights are off and only the glow of the screen of their television helps me see through their pile. Wrappers of chips, bottles of water and soft drinks scattered on the floor. There was a make shift tent built by blankets and pillows with young men tucked underneath it.



Jhope is hiding behind the throw pillow he's tightly holding but was peeking over it again and again. Jungkook was busy shoving snacks in his mouth until he almost look like a munchkin with his rounded cheeks. Jin keep on jumping in surprise at each scene on the screen and muffling his curses behind his hand. Rapmon had his arms crossed in his chest and a puzzled look on his face as if trying to understand sense of the movie. Jimin keep on screaming the obvious facts at the screen and throwing popcorn on it. Suga is leaning on the cushion with his hands tuck behind his head and calmly watching the movie.


"I'm done with everything. Want me to do something else before I head out for the day?" I asked, pulling their attention for a second before they return their eyes on the screen.


"Nothing..."


"Nada."


"Ahhh! Get out of there you crazy girl!"



"..."


"We're good here, Yong Jin. Thank you for today." Rapmon said and smiled at me.


"Okay then, I'll be-- wait hold on..." I wave at them and was on the hallway when I realize that something is amiss. Walking back to them, I did a head count. One, two, three, four, five and six....


"You're missing one person... Where's V?" I asked, finally noticing one presence isn't here. He was here a while ago.


"Don't mind him. He'll be back." Suga glance at me.


"V always does this. One second he's here then the next he's gone." Jin


"But don't you have curfew? And where does he goes?"


"He usually here before the curfew. He doesn't tell and we don't ask. It's our day off, so we got to do anything just for one day." Jimin explained which made me frown. So they let him leave just like that? Are they serious? What if something happen and they aren't aware where he is? How could they--


"Ah, the GPS." I snapped my fingers and dug out my phone.


"The what?" I heard one of them ask but I ignore it as my fingers moved on the screen.


"Found you..." I mumble as I saw the lone blinking dot moving away from the building.


"Yong Jin!" Wanting to catch him, I dash out to the dorm without a goodbye from them. The elevator took forever as it descend to the ground floor and as I reach it, V's red blinking dot is half a mile away already.


"Where are you going?" I ask out loud as I suit up and wore my helmet before sitting on my motorcycle. It rumble alive when I push the key in the ignition and not waiting longer, revved up. The tires squeal when I did a perfect one eighty degrees spin and drive off. The pavement was left with tire marks as I left my parking spot. I know...showing off, it's hard to resist when you have one amazing motorcycle to do it. Reaching the main road before taking one more glance at my phone to see where is he heading. The dot was moving in a steady pace and then stopping for a minute on one spot before moving on, that made me puzzled. Is he trying to do something? But as I took another glance, something click in my head.


"Bus stop... he's on a bus." I said to myself and quickly head to his direction, my baby roared again before I was out again. There was two bus in front of me as I maneuver my way between the cars on the highway. Just in time for the stoplight to turn red when I manage to find myself in between the two. No V in sight when I glance on those windows. Now the question is which one of this is he on? And luck wasn't on my side when the light turn green and both bus turned on separate ways leaving me in the middle of the road, fumbling on my phone. Ignoring the curses and loud honking behind me, I watch the red dot move and then turn right.



"Found you." I revved my motorcycle but not leaving my spot. The honking increases as I glance up at the light. With my helmet still on, I looked over my shoulder and see an annoyed man shouting vulgar words at me by his windows. He was about to step out of his car when I gave him my 'finger' salute as I pulled away exactly as the light turned yellow and then red, leaving him to wait another couple of minutes before he could move. A smile on my face as I heard his curses thrown at my dust, his fault for being so impatient. With the bus on my sight, I followed it in a safe pace, curious and puzzled at the long distance that he is going. After few more stops and turn, I saw him being drop off and start walking. At this late night, no sane person would easily recognize him with his big hood on his head and face mask. He looks more suspicious in fact, the people seem to instinctively give space to him as he walk.



I remain on my motorcycle, driving it in a slow pace on the side road as I tail him. People walking by are staring at me but I keep my eyes on him until he reach a plain looking building.


'St. Peter's Crematorium'


"Why is he here?" I asked myself as I read the simple lettering in front of the building. Parking my motor on one side, I tuck my helmet under my arm as I made my way in the place and try to find him. The place is common building design for the cremation of love ones. Where your passed away loved one are put in some special urn and placed in a specific box just for them. Every wall of each medium buit room has several of it with pictures, names and even flowers. My footsteps echoed softly on the marble floor as I walk around trying to find him when I spotted a familiar hood just two rooms away from me.



"There you are." I quietly made my way towards him and took a peek at his spot. I saw him standing directly in front of clear covered glass with his hands tucked in his pockets. He remain there staring at it for a long time as I could hear him softly talking to it. The curious side of me wanted to hear what he's saying but in the end I let it go and gave him a respectable space. It made me wonder who is he talking to. Is the person special to him? Why the secrecy? So curious...


"Just let V do his thing." I said and stood on one side where I remain hidden but still have him in my sight. It took him couple more minutes when I saw him fistbumped with the glass before turning and walk away. Curiosity is eating me inside as I watch him walk away and my eyes landed back to where he's been. The need to know is gnawing inside me, a stupid habit of mine that would bring me to danger because of this. I haven't realized my feet moved on its own and I was standing right where he was. In front of me is a picture of a young boy smiling back at me. There's a wornout baseball on the side of a simple cream colored urn.


"Yoon Ji Woo..." I read the name engraved on the nameplate by the feet of the urn. If he was alive, he'd be the same age of V. Is he a good friend of his? Why did he tap out so early? I frown when I saw a old cap of lemonade is tucked between the ball and dried flowers in. What's with that?


"Not your business, Yong Jin." I mumble, shaking my head for even bothering on asking when no one would answer me back.


"Hello, I'm Park Yong Jin. I know you're wondering why a stranger like me is standing and talking to you. You see, I followed V here. I can't help but worry about him since he pops out of nowhere like a mushroom. And people don't easily understand his odd ways. Not that weird, it's just he has a different perspective than your normal people. It's odd and freakishly amazing. I like him being like that. I hope one day, people would see how cool he really is. That the Taehyun they adore is a greater person." I don't know what had gotten in me and I start talking to the urn. Maybe it matter because this person was once someone who treasures V a lot. You don't travel across town for more than one hour just for fun. There were no words needed to see how he and V had been good friends.


"Don't worry about him. As long as I'm here, I'll take care of him. So... yeah... Bye." I mumble, suddenly feel embarrassed for no reason. Aish... I manage to step out of the place and locate where he's heading to next when I saw him walking ahead of me. I shadowed his steps and letting him enjoy his silence. But that didn't last when out of nowhere he bumped with three good for nothing guys.



"Tsk. Should have drag him back to the dorm." I grumble when I saw them intimidating V, shoving him back and fort to each other.


"Yah, you ass face! Let him go." I shouted as their mocking and taunts can be heard. I dug out my brass knuckles from my pockets and slid it in my fingers and slowly make my way towards them.


"What did you call me?" The so called leader turn to face me while the two held V in each arm. I could see V surprised face when he saw me calmly standing at the thug scream nonsense at me.


"What are you doing here?!" He exclaimed and he has the nerve to be angry at me.


"Protecting you pretty face. Get out of here." I said, ignoring the still talking guy.


"No!"


"You just have to be hard headed of all this time..." I had step back in time to see a fist flying where my face would have been. My own fist flew back and heard the faint crunch of broken nose as thug leader screamed bloody hell out as he stumble down. I throw the helmet I had earlier on the face of one of the guys holding V. His hands drop as I run the short distance between me and the other one before raising my foot and kicked him in the chest hard. I didn't waste time for any of them to try anything as I let them meet my fists and feet again and again. One tried to reach for him but I quickly grab the back of his hoodie and pull him behind me as I finish them up. It didn't last that long as we stood there above their groaning crumpled bodies.


"If I ever see you face again, there's worst to come. Am I clear?" I lean down as I grab one of them by his collar and pull him towards me. He was about to retort when his eyes landed on the mark that was hidden underneath my watch.



Going pale a ghost, he look back at me, eyes wide in fear and nodded vigorously before I toss him away. They didn't waste time as they grab each other, tumbling away from us.


"...Yong Jin..."


"Let's go V." I tug my watch back and turn around, finally dragging V out of here. Curfew is in half an hour. I have to drive faster to catch time. And everything happened without me seeing V's stunned face and him clutching tightly at my hand.
