27
The next morning after breakfast, Tae and Jimin took the girl home before going to work.
At the door, another pack was waiting. This time there wasn't trash, only photos. Her face this time was burned, on the back was written:
THIS IS THE LAST WARNING IF YOU HOLD YOUR LIFE DEAR, BETTER VANISH. HE IS MINE, BITCH.
Emma texted Lee.
Emma: Another one at the door. Did you find something in the footage?
Lee: Not yet, think we'll need time. Time being send them sent me today.
Emma: Ok, thanks, hope you figure out this person, please keep me informed.
She put away the phone, then took the pack and left it in the trash bin. She looked at her friend, «This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you. Look how scared you are.» She told taking her trembling hands.
Mimi looked back at her, «Even if it's a scary thing you need to tell me, Unni, I'm really scared.» She said starting to weep.
This was enough. She wouldn't let that psycho ruin their life like Do-Yun did, because he didn't ruin only hers but also Mimi's life. She took her phone and texted Jimin.
Emma: Sorry if I'm disturbing you, but after you left us at home, we found another gift from sasaeng. I already called the police, please tell PD-nim. Attached is a photo of the pack to the message.
She put away her phone and looked at her crying and trembling friend another rush of anger shook her from the inside. «Do you feel like going to work?»
«I must go. We have a meeting today and pity that my best friend is not my boss anymore.» She said with a weak smile.
Emma looked at her friend getting ready for work, I wish I could come back here, but with that jerk still free I can't. Back home I don't have any friends. Here instead I have Mimi, she's, my family. She changed ready to go to her run. She wouldn't let them stop her from doing her routine. While she was running the embassy called to let her know her new passport was ready.
When she got back home, she got a shower and while wiping her hair she was standing in front of the living room. It was strange because the book she was reading was on the table closed. Emma was sure she fell asleep while reading, then why the book was there. She took it and was about to open it when she heard the doorbell ring. But there was no one at the same time her phone rang and she got the call.
«Hello?»
«Hey, baby. It's me, are you girls alright?»
«Yes, don't worry,» sudden nausea assaulted her and she ran into the bath to puke. «Sorry.»
«Baby? Are you alright?»
«Yeah, maybe I haven't digested breakfast.»
«Is everything all right? You sound a little strange.»
«Yes, I think that all that's happened is finally catching up with me, that's all.»
«I have to tell you that PD-nim is going to release an interview that we recorded today about our relationship.» He heard her hold her breath. «Don't worry we didn't make names. You can watch it tonight. And don't worry.»
After talking for a while more, they hung up and she went to the kitchen looking for something to eat forgetting all about the book.
***********************
The following day after returning home from her run she found another "gift" stuck on her door with a knife. The message was really scary this time:
NEXT TIME IT WON'T BE A PHOTO. NEXT TIME I WILL YOUR YOUR FACE OFF WITH MY KNIFE. I AM CLEAR?
Enough was enough. She took a photo and sent it to Lee calling him soon after. «Inspector today's one...»
«Yeah, I saw, they became bold, but...»
«But? Did you find something in the cam footage?»
«Yes, we are about to take the person in question, don't worry. If you want you can come to the police station.»
«That would be great. Please let me know when you have them.»
She got to shower and when she got out she made something to eat. Just a bite and she was running to the bath again throwing her soul up. If she didn't know it was almost impossible, she could think she was actually pregnant. After getting out of the bath she left aside the thought of eating, instead, she got in her room to change so she was ready whenever Lee would call.
The phone woke her up. She fell asleep while dressed. She answered still half asleep. Why I'm feeling so drowsy? Maybe I'm catching something. Tomorrow I'll go to the doctor. Maybe the flu.
«Hello?» she said yawning.
«Miss, we have the person in question, when you're ready you can come.»
«Thanks, inspector I'll come right away.»
**********************
Emma finished dress and called a taxi, not before throwing up one more time. When she arrived at the police station Lee was outside waiting for her. Emma was determined to put an end to this story once and for all.
«This way miss, I need to warn you, this person is quite aggressive. You need to take your distance.»
«Sure, and thank you for this chance.»
«Well, you're the harassed person. Not everyone would do the same thing. You have courage.»
«I'm not brave like you think, but I need to face them anyway. I'm sick and tired of all this.» He stopped in front of a door; Emma nodded so he opened it. Inside there was a girl about twenty years old screaming that she didn't do anything wrong.
When she saw Emma, she leaped forward to attack her, promptly stopped by two officers. She was handcuffed and seated back. They put another pair of cuffs to keep her attached to the table so she couldn't move freely. «Why are you still here you stupid bitch, who told you to harass him. I know that you forced him to be with you. He would never be with something creepy like you. Die you fucking monster.» She spat at Emma.
«Wow, really fierce but I have a couple of questions for you. First, you kiss your mother with that mouth?»
The girl started to hiss but Emma didn't care. «Second, what makes you believe I forced him? Do you think he is your property, because you know I doubt he even knows of your existence,» Lee was impressed by her coolness.
«Third, who told you where we were, because for all I know only their manager knew, and he isn't the one who spills the beans. Last, this isn't a question, it's a statement. Just so you know, he is the one who asked me out not otherwise. Now answer, or you wouldn't like me more than you already do even without knowing who I am. Be ready to pay a high price because not only BigHit but also my company are pressing charges, they will demand reparation fees.»
The girl was silent and a little scared. Lee otherwise was impressed. Emma's phone rang, she took it out of her bag to see who was calling, it was Jimin, she turned her phone to let her see the caller, her face went pale. She answered turning on the speaker.
«Hi, Jimin.»
«Baby, are you alright? Where are you now?»
«At the police station with Inspector Lee and the little STALKER.» She emphasized the last word. The girl started to scream his name and plead for help.
«Please, stop this farce. I would never help someone who's harassing people, stop this madness. And find a real boyfriend. I have the right to leave my private life, private.» He was really angry and his voice showed it.
«Now if you don't want to be left in jail, speak, answer to every question because I, We are tired. Leave us alone. Now turn off the speaker I want to talk with my girlfriend without someone listening.»
She turned it off and asked him, «What's up, is something wrong?»
«I only want to know if you're alright, she threatened you? She tried to do something to you?»
«Don't worry she is well guarded. And handcuffed to the table.» She said smiling at the girl and brushing her hair with her free hand, unlike hers.
«If you need me, just call, I'll come right away. I love you.»
«Don't worry. I'll soon go home, unlike someone. I love you too.»
First thing first. She looked back to the table, «What's your name?» She was still silent. «Listen girly I don't have all day to deal with you so you have two options. Option one you talk, option two you talk.»
