I pushed you away
even when I wanted to meet you
You firmly stayed by my side
Even if I don't say it

- First Love

Jangmi

The promise Yoongi told me yesterday, did he really mean that? I don't know what to say when he said he'll get me out of here.

Is he really going to do that? But he's a criminal. I never knew criminal would have a soft side for their victims.

Or perhaps, is it because of what happened last night? We talked, laughed, cried and...

--

"Number six. This bad guy, who is bound to kill Jangmi..."

He paused for a while and winked at me.

"Will get her out of here tomorrow."

My eyes widened.

"Mwo??"

Did I just heard it right? Get me out of here? Seriously?? For me yes it's a good thing but for him, it's not. Is he not worried about himself? Did he ever think of being caught if ever he let me escape?

Yoongi brought his pinky finger in front of me and plastered a smile on his face.

"Wh-What is that for?"

"It's a way to... uh... prove you that I'll really help you."

"So you mean, a pinky promise?" I repeated. He nodded at me.

So he knows stuff like this, huh? Never knew a bad guy does this.

I hesitatingly stuck my pinky finger out and met his. We tightly closed it together, as a sign of promise.

--

...and he promised to let me go.

"You're up early."

I looked at the couch just to see a just woke up Yoongi. I immediately looked away, he doesn't have a shirt on again.

"Y-Yeah. Good morning." I greeted without daring to give him yet another glance. I'm so done with his body. Why? Because it bothers me. It's beautifu— shut up.

So... today's the day?

Wait a second why do I feel like this? I suddenly feel so down.

Ehem. N-Nice.

I gulped, unable to believe whatever my head's been thinking of. Jangmi, don't be confused, arasso? You want to get out of this place. You want to get away from here. You want to escape. You're excited to be parted from this bad guy in front of you.

Those were what I should be saying then how come something inside me is thinking the opposite?

"Gwaenchana?"

I came back to my senses after hearing Yoongi's husky voice. I just nodded quietly as an answer and looked away. Why is he asking? Am I being too obvious?

Honestly, I'm not okay. But I also don't know why. Four days ago I'm too desperate to get out of this place and now I feel bad to go home. How come?

After talking to him, I even felt sadder which kinda freaked me out.

"I'll just fix myself and then off we go." He stated and walked straight in the bathroom, shutting it close.

"Off we go? Huh... Dahaeng ida." I whispered with a glimpse of sarcasm in my voice.

I lied down the bed and looked straight at the ceiling as I hear nothing else but the shower coming from the bathroom.

I can't help but to think about Jae eun, especially the fact that I'm now finally gonna be able to escape, the same thing she wanted to do since the day we stepped in that van. Is she proud of me? Will she be happy for me? But that can't be. She's still trapped there. In that cold, empty room.

I suddenly heard a knock from the bathroom, there is also Yoongi calling my name.

"Wae?" I asked as I stood up and walked near the door.

"Get some clothes for you to wear. In my bag." He answered back. I looked around and saw his backpack sitting on the table. It was wide open which helped me see every clothes he has and I am definitely sure that I'm not using those.

"I-I don't think–"

"I will buy you some later. For now just use mine."

Guess I have no choice.

"Min Yoongi-ssi, I think it's weird for a victim to take a bath before being killed."

"Mwo? Haven't I told you–"

"Ani. I'm talking about the other guys."

"Ah. Mason? They're not around, they won't see you."

"Jinjja? Eodi ya?"

"Rumble."

Mwo?? Rumble? This early in the morning?? Oh my god, they really are the worst. How could they get themselves into fights at this time of the day? They obviously have many ways to make their lives miserable. But at least we could leave this place in peace. Thanks to their bad habits.

I walked towards Yoongi's bag and picked a black shirt. Now I have one problem, my underwears.

Ugh. This sucks.

I stumbled on the bed and laid down lazily. I'll just wait for him to finish so I can ask him properly.

After a few more minutes of waiting he finally finished taking a bath.

I sprang up from the bed. "I don't have clothes."

He froze while drying his hair with a towel. He looked at me from head to toe then raised an eyebrow. "I've already told you–"

"No I mean I'm not going out without wearing... uhm you know... i-inner clo–"

"You have no choice Jangmi. And don't go around asking me for a girl's undergarments cause I don't have any." He began picking up his things and putting them in his bag. I can't help but to roll my eyes.

"That's not true. Where were mine?"

"Left at the Tennyson building."

"Anything? None? Even if it is owned by the previous girls you played with too? It'll be just fine for me I would gladly wear it."

He threw me a serious look. "What? Girls I've–"

"Yeah you know what I mean." I cut him off.

Yoongi turned, facing me. He walked slowly with this dead serious expression.

He's not offended is he? Oh no why is his face like that? Did I do anything wrong? Have I said anything? I'm just stating a... fact. It's impossible for me to be his first victim right? His first...

When he is already close enough to me, he leaned in. Which resulted a panic in my head. He is too close that I could already feel his hot breath.

His eyebrow raised, then spoke with his deep, husky voice.

"How sure are you that 'previous girls'... exists in my s*x life?"

🌸🔪🌸

"This feels really uncomfortable..."

"You can go all naked."

My eyes bawled out. "Mwo?? No!"

"It's not like there's other people in here."

"So what? You're not a person?"

"Don't tell me you're still uncomfortable around me."

"Of course Min Yoongi I am."

We stopped by the traffic light which means only one thing. This is going to be a long wait.

He turned to me and crossed his arms. "Really?" He asked innocently.

I rolled my eyes. Ugh how could he ask this? It doesn't mean that we did 'that' then I can just show off my body from time to time. Same for him too! But he's always ranting saying that I should not feel awkward in front of him when doing those sort of things. It had no sense at all.

I realized that he's still watching me with this mischievous expression. I glared at him.

"It doesn't make any sense, Jangmi."

"No. It doesn't make any sense, Yoongi."

He scoffed and shook his head repeatedly in defeat. "Okay fine. How?"

So he's seriously serious that he's serious? He really didn't think what he was saying isn't right?

"Look," I started off and made a peace sign as number two. "These two fingers symbolizes a couple. This couple can do whatever they want together, it's fine. They can show affection, hug each other, uh do intimate things. Things like that."

"Mhmm." Yoongi hummed. It's obvious that he's totally into the topic.

I now raised both of my index fingers on both hands. "What's that for?" Yoongi asked.

"This is you," I said, indicating my right index. "And this is me." I wiggled my left index.

"Oh yeah? What about it?"

"We're different individuals. Yoongi we are no couple." I carefully explained which earned a frown from him.

"I'm your hostage. That's why 'that thing' happened. It didn't happen out of love. So it doesn't mean that I can easily be comfortable not wearing anything or stuffs like that whenever I'm with you."

He shifted towards the front and ruffled his hair. He let out a laugh then mumbled something.

"Are you saying something?"

The stop light turned green. Then he quietly sat properly, getting ready to drive.

He's now like that again. Not answering me.

Just when we were about to drive off, a random guy suddenly ran across the road. And because of his sudden appearance Yoongi almost lost control of the car. He immediately stretched his hand to me so I would stay seated and not hurt myself. Everything happened too fast that the next thing we know, the guy is already standing next to the car door. He is trying to open it while banging it at the same time, as if he is too desperate to get inside.

Yoongi started driving, ignoring the guy. But the guy kept on running just to catch up. I tapped Yoongi's arm while watching the exhausted person outside.

"Open it. He doesn't seem dangerous."

"I can't. He might do something stupid, you are with me Jangmi you could be harmed."

"You're with me too and you always did a good job protecting me. So open the door for him."

I slapped my forehead in frustration when he acted like he didn't hear anything at all. I turned around and saw that guy still banging the car from behind like he's begging us to let him ride in. I should just give up, right?

Huh. Fine.

I faced the front and sat silently. The only thing we could hear is that guy shouting and the car's trunk being banged.

I tried listening to the guy's shouts.

"Let me in jebal! They'll catch me I don't want to die!"

Mwo?? Who is he talking–

I accidentally shifted my gaze at Yoongi's side. My eyes popped out of its sockets. No way!

I looked at the guy once more and saw him got surprised after seeing those people running off to get near him. I looked at the guys again. Oh my god I wasn't wrong!

"MIN YOONGI!" I screamed. "Let him in! Look! Look! He's being chased b-b-by Mason! Y-Your friends–"

"Shit."

Yoongi immediately stopped and unlocked the car. The guy entered in, sweat all over his face. Yoongi speed up the engine and drove fastly and it helped us escape from Mason. He drove farther and farther. Once we were sure that the boys were out of sight, he stopped the car at the side of the road.

I sat frozen. Is he angry? I... think he is. But he won't kill me right? Or harm me?

"Thanks for saving my life." The guy from behind spoke all of a sudden.

"Who are you?" Yoongi asked, looking straight at the road.

"Park Jimin."

"Why were you being chased?"

"They are our enemies. That guy who almost caught me first is Mason."

My eyes widened.

What? Enemies? Then if this Park Jimin is Mason's enemy then it means...

"What's your name by the way?"

I shifted my gaze to Yoongi and saw him playing with his tongue.

I've got a feeling that Yoongi will activate this attitude of him being rude towards this guy, now that he knew that Park Jimin is his enemy.

And before the atmosphere gets any awkward, I decided to butt in.

"I'm... I'm Kim Jangmi."

"Kim Jangmi?" Jimin repeated. He leaned forward and shot a friendly smile. "I saw you earlier while chasing the car. Thanks for convincing him."

I leaned forward too, distancing myself away from him. "U-Uh... Sure."

I don't know who this Park Jimin is, but one sure thing is that I'm sitting right now with two bad people. And the worse part is that they are enemies. Who knows what will happen next?

"How about you what's your name?" Jimin asked Yoongi. I would strongly suggest for him to stop...

"Min Yoongi." He finally answered. "And those guys chasing you are my members."

Jimin and I were both shocked. My reason is that I didn't expect for Yoongi to be this straightforward. And definitely, Jimin was shocked since he realized that this guy sitting before him is his enemy too.

Yoongi turned to face Jimin, with a sarcastic smile plastered on his face.

"I'm their leader."
