Chapter 150



I'm exceptionally thankful that Hobi has no problem getting up when I do. My bladder is screaming at me something fierce, and he is able to help me get Jimin disentangled from my body. I look back over at the bed when he makes a whimper like noise. Despite my need to use the bathroom I almost climb back in bed when I see his plush lower lip push out in a full pout as he continues to slumber. But nope, I literally feel like I am about to pee my pants, well had I been wearing any, so I push Hobi aside and rush toward the bathroom to take care of that pressing need.

Once I am done I open the door back up. "Did you need to use the bathroom, Hobi?" I ask.

He peers around the door and takes in the large shower and bathtub combo. "Only if you will take a shower with me."



Honestly it's not as big as my shower at home, but it definitely earns second place easily. I have of course two immediate concerns to his suggestion. "First, only if you promise we will take a shower and nothing else. Second, You probably are going to want to grab yourself something to change into after." I frown as I realize I still haven't tracked down my phone yet. "How warm is it supposed to be today?"

He grabs his own phone from my bedside table. I don't know what made him think to grab it before coming up to my room last night, but I am definitely thankful for whatever prompted him to do so. "It looks like it will be about 26.7°C."

I frown up at him. "Okay, now translate that to Fahrenheit for me."

He sighs but doesn't hesitate to do as I ask. Turns out that it translates to about 80°F, meaning it will be exceptionally warm today. "Let me go grab something to wear, and I will be back in a few minutes."

"You promise you will behave?" I arch both of my eyebrows up in disbelief.

He sighs but nods his head. "It will be a busy day, and because of that I do promise to be on my best behavior."

He does paw at me a bit while in the shower, and his excuse is of course that he is helping me get clean. I don't call him out on it, but I do briefly frown at him for a moment or two. Jimin comes in just after Hobi helps me apply conditioner to my hair. He sighs. "I am definitely starting to see the benefits of waking up earlier."



Hobi chuckles. "Yup, you snooze you lose, Jiminie."

I can't retain the snort that pops from my nose due to Hobi's pun, intentional or not, but I do try to pretend it didn't happen.

After Hobi and I get out of the shower I leave my hair twined up in the towel before starting to brush my teeth. I then apply light makeup before I go to pull out the dress I intend to wear. I want to make a statement to those that imprisoned me in an animal cage. I want to silently be able to tell them that they weren't able to bring me down despite how hard they might have tried. That's why I chose to wear my Moschino dress paired with my black sandals today. My plan with my hair is to simply pull it in a high ponytail after I put on my dress. Then I apply some leave-in conditioner to tame any frizz.



Korain and Sang Hee both blush when I come downstairs and briefly avoid eye contact, which also makes me blush in return. I don't let it embarrass me too long though, and Namjoon somewhat saves me when he comes up behind me. "I just got off the phone with the chief. They can be ready for us in an hour and a half. They are planning on letting us all see them from an interrogation room with a two-way mirror before you go in and personally confront them."

That actually sounds like an excellent plan. I wanted to put on a brave face in front of them all, but I had worried that my resolve might be obliterated once I saw them face to face.

It takes a while to rouse the rest of my soulmates. Which makes it obvious to me that they truly did not get enough sleep over the past few days. I almost hate waking them up after I realize that, but I know how they all want to be with me for this confrontation.

We all decide not to go too overboard with breakfast. Most of us are either eating something simply like toast or even cereal. Han-Bin even brings in donuts while some of my soulmates are still trying to decide on what to eat.

There is a part of me that almost regrets waking up as early as we did. The time stretches so long before we have to get in the van and head to the jail or police headquarters, wherever they are being held at. I'm honestly not certain that a jail would have an interrogation room with a two way mirror, hence my mental correction.

We all sit around the living room and listen to music. Trying to get the melodies to sooth our frayed nerves. Yoongi drops to the couch and pulls me into his lap, which I am quite thankful for and find myself sinking my body into my comfortable soulmate's.



"Should we play the same game as we did yesterday to determine who sits beside Daisy this time around?" Jin asks.

"If we do then I vote that it is for both there and back. I don't want to have to play the game twice." I can't help but admit out loud, and my soulmates are quick to agree to it. Probably only because they are trying to do everything to make sure I feel secure and happy right now.

"I vote we choose in opposite orders as we did yesterday." Jk says.

I nod my agreement before Yoongi hands me his phone. Crap, I still need to sort out where mine has got to. I bet the battery is dead at this point. I smile at the fact that his wallpaper is an image of me sleeping before asking him to unlock his phone for me. He does one better by adding my fingerprint to his phone just so I can unlock it whenever I want to. I kiss him on the cheek before I pull up the website again.

Jk had let out an excited noise and literally started jumping around like the bunny I claim him to be when he rolled a five. Tae, Jimin, and Hobi roll the numbers six through eight. Jin and Namjoon will be in the seats in front of me since they rolled one and three. Yoongi gave me a satisfied gummy smirk when he rolled his four.



We all pile into the van and Jk instantly takes my left hand in his right when I sit down beside him. "I was so scared when you were taken, Sweetheart." He admits, and does little to hide the fact that his eyes are easily welling with unshed tears.

I can't help but ask. "Did you get angry?" I look at Korain as he hops into the passenger side seat.

Jk's eyes follow where mine landed and he sighs. "Yes, but I promise that I know that anger was misplaced now."

I turn back to look at him. "Oh? Can you explain it to me?"

So he starts sharing with me the story they learned about Korain. After hearing it all I can't help but wonder if perhaps not being able to share who he really was held back his true personality with us. He seems a lot less reserved now, and quite a bit more free spirited honestly.

Soon after we pull up to our destination, and I do indeed notice that it's a police station not a jail like I had originally believed. Korain volunteers himself to stay in the main lobby when Chief Soyer comes over to welcome us. He doesn't hesitate to take us to the interrogation room he reserved for us. It is a tight fit, but we manage to make it work.

He picks up a phone by the door and asks someone to bring the girls in. The first three don't seem familiar to me at all. The fourth and fifth only vaguely, and I can't quite place the reason behind that off the top of my head. But, the last one. That one who has to be WBS I know right away.

I point her out to the Chief. "That's Eun Ae. She's one of the fashion stylists for the group." I frown in her direction. "I knew she had a pretty huge crush on Tae, but I never believed her to be hostile toward me. I could sense she held a grudge due to my relationship with him, but that was it." I turn back to the Chief. "She's WBS. Isn't she?" I ask him even though I already know the answer.

He nods his head. "Yes, she is."

I look back out at them and study the two I thought I might recognize a little bit. The fourth I definitely feel like I have seen somewhere before, but I still can't quite place where. The fifth somehow seems a bit more familiar than the fourth. That's when it clicks and I remember exactly where I saw her from. "The one in the fifth position delivered chicken to the mansion a couple times."

One of my soulmates comes up close behind me and stares hard at her. It's when he speaks that I know it's Jimin who is standing there. "Yes, she did, but now I recognize her from another moment in time." I look up at him the same time he looks at me. "She went to one of the 'Meet and Greets' we were holding in Seoul to find my soulmate after I publicly got my mark." He shakes his head. "She inked 'Promise' across the inside of her wrist."

"Hmm. I also feel like I recognize the one standing in the fourth position too, but I honestly don't know why." I look at her once again and try to concentrate.

Tae groans not long after I shared the fact I was struggling to remember number four from. "I know why. She was the bartender that took off from the club that night." I turn to look back at him, and he immediately looks me right in the eye before he adds on more. "She was most likely the one to spike your drink."

I look back at her again, and I realize that yes that definitely makes sense. I could only make her out slightly in the darkened room, but that would explain why I also only mildly recognized her. I'm surprised when I am pushed aside by an angry bunny.

"Fuck." He groans. "Fuck. I know them all. I know every last fucking one of them." He points at the one we were just talking about. "She had plastic surgery but I still am able to recognize her." He looks back at me. "Aside from Eun Ae, every other one of them were the five women that tried to pull at my heartstrings when they accused Korain of making unwanted advances toward them." He looks back at the one in the fourth position before pointing at her once again. "Hell, I'm pretty fucking sure she claimed I was her bias."

Which would likely make her GMS I add in my own head. I nod my head and turn to the chief where he stands by the door. "I'm ready to confront them. Will you escort me in?"

My soulmates all try to argue until I point out that I will only be one room away, and they will be able to see everything for themselves through the two-way mirror.

Eun Ae's eyes widen when she sees me, and she immediately comes over to me. She tries to tell me over and over again how she wanted to get out. She tells me how she didn't want to be a part of Hye Rin's schemes any longer. Her words are no doubt sincere, but still I frown at her to nonverbally let her know that all is not so easily forgiven. "You could have told one of us at any time about what she was doing. You could have alerted me the minute I was under her so-called protection. You chose to remain silent instead."

The fifth, who I know to be CCS from what Jimin was able to discover, starts pleading the same thing to me in Korean.

Eun Ae opens her mouth and starts translating for her, only I decide to interrupt her with a smirk. "I heard and understood her."

"What?" She gives me a baffled look.

"Perhaps, I should say it in a different way." I pause before launching into Korean. "I said that I heard and understood her."

Eun Ae's widen comically. "You? Since when do you speak Korean?"

"Does that really matter?" I sigh before launching into Korean again. "I wanted to come today to confront those who sought out to do me harm." I look GMS in the eye. "For drugging me." I glance at each of the others I don't know in turn. "For spying on me." Then I look Eun Ae in the eye once more. "Of course most important of all for kidnapping me." I almost laugh at how they each look as if they are children, and I am a mother scolding them for their bad behavior. These are really the ones that held me captive? "I realize that Hye Rin more than likely manipulated you into the actions, but you also had an opportunity at any time to do the right thing. Now you will answer for your actions."

I turn to walk away from them but Eun Ae calls out to me. "Wait. I...I want to help." She starts rattling off something about the new CEO's son of Big Hit also being a part of it. "He's innocent. Hye Rin seduced him into helping her. She manipulated him into thinking he was in love with her."

I'm about to thank her for that additional information when there is a knock on the door. The chief opens it slightly before allowing Tae in.



He glares down at Eun Ae. "Too bad for you we already had that particular information. We were able to sort that much out hours after you took Daisy." He steps a bit closer. "I told you that I wasn't interested in you. You should have taken that at face value, but instead you chose to go after the most important person in the world to me. You might think horrible things about Daisy, but let me tell you whatever you are thinking is completely false. Daisy is a sweet angel, and she wouldn't go out of her way to hurt anybody. I thought at the very least after I denied you, Eun Ae, that I could at least be your friend. Now? Now, I can't even look at you." He looks down at me and grabs my hand. "Come on Angel. We are done here."



A/N:  So, there are so more mystery reveals for you.  But, am I done with throwing you twists and turns in this story?  Nope, not at all.  :) 

Moving on to some reader's first  correct assumptions.  

Thepowerofjesus was the first recorded to guess that the girls who claimed to have a problem with Korain were involved.

There were several people that were sure Eun Ae was involved, but I believe that Jetteken was the first to flat out say she was WBS.

Shyyyyygirl (sorry if I didn't put enough y's in your username) was the first to connect that CCS was specifically the delivery girl.
