Chapter 8 - Reality (Pt. 2)

Sonny stirred around in her sleep, eyes blinking repeatedly until she's now awake. She rubbed her eyes and noticed a piece of paper on the coffee table.

As she sat up, she groaned in pain. The couch may look comfortable but not for more than three hours.

She reached over and grabbed the paper, reading it.

'(Y/n),
I'm really sorry for you to have to read this and I'm not there. This is the fifth time trying to come up with what to write. I thought I was okay with you coming with me to get your father back but I have given it some thought. I want you safe and you coming with me is the opposite. I care too much about you. I promise I will get your father back home safely.'

Sonny scoffed and heard shuffling from the other side of the room. Standing up, she followed the noise and found Jungkook putting guns in his bag. When he saw her, he mentally cussed and placed his cap on his head.

"What the hell is this??", Sonny asked, raising the paper up as she looked over at his bag.

"I'm sorry (y/n)-"

"No. This is bull crap. You are not leaving-"

"Yes I am. And you're staying here. I can't have you go with me when they want you. What if they get their hands on you? I can't have that happening", he said, grabbing his bag to walk towards the door.

"That's not fair-", Sonny watched as he grabbed the door knob so she quickly ran to wrap her arms around him, tightening her grip as the side of her face landed on his back, hearing his heartbeat.

He softly gasped and heard her small cries.

"..you can't leave when I'm just starting to trust you. That stuff I said to you, I never tell anyone. So you can't just leave me after I tell you something as personal and private as that. It's like you're saying goodbye. Like I won't see you again. It feels like that. You say that I'm brave or strong or whatever yet you're treating me like I'm a weakling. I'm not weak", she said, ignoring the tears staining his shirt.

Jungkook looked over his shoulder and sighed, turning around as he unwrapped her arms from his torso and setting them on her sides. He took a long glimpse before nodding.

"This won't be easy (y/n). This is not like the movies where we automatically win. There will be guns and knives and really bad people. I'm only telling you this because although I'm really experienced with stuff like this, this will be difficult for me too. Our plan is out of the window because they know what you look like and they know you're with me", he said.

"That's why you trained me, right? To be prepared. I'm ready", she said.

Jungkook inhaled and closed his eyes for a second before nodding and smiling.

"Alright. Let's get going."




Jungkook and Sonny have been driving for almost half an hour, thinking about what to do when they get there. They thought about all possibilities.

"(Y/n), if they catch me, I need you to run. Understand?", Jungkook asked.

"No way! So when things get tough, I just run?? What kind of lesson is that?? I'm not a coward. What is the point of me coming then?? I'm not going anywhere", she said.

"Alright, jeez. I swear if it's not your hand punching me, it's your voice. You're so loud...yet confident. I like that. Maybe instead of using my guns, you can yell at them until they lose consciousness", he joked.

Sonny slapped his arm and rolled her eyes, causing him to laugh.

"..I got it from my mom. She was like that. Especially towards my dad. He would say that it didn't bother him one bit. But that's how we get our way", she said.

He smiled, glancing at Sonny as she stared out the window.

"So tell me about this profile that you have to build for college", Jungkook said.

Sonny quickly looked at him, eyebrow raised, "how do you-"

"I might have asked your co-worker...well ex co-worker. You have real talent. I'm sure you'll win that contest. Hands down", he said.

"I doubt it. I'm sure there are more talented people out there who have plenty of time to finish their profile. I'm not gonna finish and I'm not gonna get in", she said.

"No no, you will finish. After we rescue your father, you'll get right on to it and I'm sure you have plenty of ideas of what to draw or paint. And then you will be so happy once you win and you'll treat me to dinner or something because I'm gonna be the one to push you to finish", he said.

Another five minutes pass. Sonny felt the urge to say something. Jungkook told her that it's gonna take at least two hours to arrive at the building where they're heading.

"Hey....thanks. For not giving up on me. I know I said I'm not weak but....I don't think I would be able to get through this without you. You know more about this and it all sounds scary but...when you know it's about someone you love and care about, it becomes less scary and more about wanting to get them back. Jungkook, if I lose him-"

"You won't. We're gonna get him back and all three of you will be back home. And I know you're gonna continue being a pain in the ass but it wouldn't be home if you weren't", he said.

Sonny didn't even realize she was blushing. She let out a breath and held onto her stomach as she looked out the window. Jungkook took a side glance at her and noticed how nervous she's getting. He took his right hand and placed it over hers.

"I'll be next to you every second. I won't let anything happen to you or your father", he smiled and squeezed her hand before letting go.

"What if there are more that we can take?", she asked.

"We talked about that already. We take them down one by one. And I have guns in the back. Unless you wanna use your voice", he joked again.

Rolling her eyes, she chuckled and kept her eyes up front.





Jungkook has to park a bit farther than near the building. He opened the trunk and took out a gun which he checked if there were bullets in it and placed on the waistband of his pants. Sonny stayed nearby and waited for Jungkook to give her instructions.

"Here", he handed one of his guns to her and she panicked.

"Are you crazy?? I don't know how to use a gun. What if I do something stupid? I can't-"

"Hey, it's okay", he put his hands on her arms and assured her that she'll be fine.

"All you gotta do is point and shoot. That's it. I'm gonna give you a knife as well. You can hide that in your shoes and cover it with your pants. And whatever you do, stay close", he said.

He gave her the gun and knife before heading back to the trunk of the car. She glanced at the building, observing the people going in and out of the entrance. She heard Jungkook close the trunk of the car and breathed unevenly.

"Alright, let's go", he said as he passed by her.

"Jungkook", she called out as she grabbed onto his hand, catching his attention.

The worried look on her face shows that's she's not ready. No matter what he says, she won't back down though. He softly smiled and wrapped his arms around her, hoping that this hug will give her enough courage to walk in.

They had to be careful when entering. Both had caps on and when they were inside the building, they had to step aside.

"We need to go up to the tenth floor. That's where his office is at. If he's not there then we have to look for his assistant. She's around her mid-30's and always wears a red pin on her shirt. We ask questions first. If things escalate, you know what we have to do-"

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Jeon Jungkook?"

Jungkook and Sonny turned to meet eyes with a very muscular 6'2 man who is wearing a business suit.

"Who's asking?", Jungkook asked.

"Mr. Chang is waiting for you. Please follow me", the man said, turning and walking towards the elevator.

Jungkook mentally cursed and held Sonny's hand as they followed him. She didn't want to panic but he never mentioned a plan that would come up to this.

They stepped into the elevator, Sonny staying close to Jungkook while the man pushed in one of the buttons. Once the doors closed, it's like they were in a tight space. She took in a deep breath and let it out.

The man side glanced towards Sonny, eyeing her up and down. He forced out a chuckle and focused his eyes forward.

The elevator stopped on the 10th floor, doors opening so they can exit. As they stepped closer to the office, their hearts racing due to their nerves.

"The young miss can wait out here while Mr. Chang speaks with Mr. Jeon Jungkook", the man said.

Sonny looked up at Jungkook, him lightly nodding. She didn't want him to leave her by herself but they can't look suspicious. So she sat down on one of the chairs while Jungkook walked into the office with the man.

As he walked in, he noticed the office is very organized and a bit dark because of the shades. The man they call Mr. Chang sat on an office chair, looking out the window while holding a baseball sized crystal ball.

"Sir, Mr. Jeon has arrived", the man announced.

Jungkook sat down on the chair across from his desk as Mr. Chang turned the chair around, a small smirk rising on his face. There's a scar that goes down his eye and ends near his jaw. The amount of tattoos he had doesn't compare to the ones Jungkook has. He had more.

"I'm glad you've come. And I'm also glad you decided to comply on bringing the girl. Now, I will reward you with a large amount of cash, enough to pay any debts you have-"

"I didn't bring her here for you to have. I'm here to retrieve her father and all three of us will walk out of this building unharmed", Jungkook said.

Mr. Chang laughed mockingly, throwing his head back. His face turned serious after a few seconds and leaned in.

"Well I'm sorry to have to disappoint you but her father isn't going anywhere. Unless you have the payment that he owes", Mr. Chang said.

"I...don't-"

"Then I guess the only payment that is available is...what's her name?", Mr. Chang asked, raising an eyebrow.

Jungkook stood up abruptly, glaring at the man in front of him who is unfazed.

"If you touch a single strand of her hair, I will kill you", Jungkook lowered his voice as angered shot through to him.

Mr. Chang smirked as he said, "unfortunately.."

The other man put an arm around Jungkook's neck as he injected him with something.

"..you don't have a say", Mr. Chang said as he watched Jungkook lose consciousness.




When Jungkook woke up, he was tied to a chair. His groans as he tried to free his hands caught the attention of Mr. Chang who was talking to one of his men.

"Well, you're finally awake. Didn't think it would take this long", Mr. Chang said, motioning one of his men to get something.

He stood in front of him and tilted his head as Jungkook glared at him.

"You know, that girl is as stupid as a rock. Two of my men asked her to follow them into a room because apparently they were gonna show her where her father is. She didn't see it coming when they knocked her down unconscious", Mr. Chang said.

Jungkook had this sudden adrenaline and tried so hard to free his hands to be able to punch this man to death...but he couldn't. Mr. Chang watched in amusement and laughed evilly, leaning against his desk.

"You are something else. That rage...that is what I need for my team to get what they want. I'll make a deal with you. If you agree to join my company and become one of my men, I will let the girl and her old man go debt-free. What do you say?", Mr. Chang asked.

Jungkook laughed as he lowered his head.

"If you think for a second that I believe you, you're absolutely wrong. I know the type of person you are. You like to take advantage. Especially towards those who have little or less to pay. You target the ones with families that way if they can't pay you back, you torture them. Nothing, not even the amount of money you have, will ever convince me to join your company", Jungkook muttered.

Mr. Chang raised an eyebrow while pushing himself off of the desk.

"Really?", he asked, nodding at one of his men.

Jungkook can hear shuffling right behind him, the door opening as it revealed his men bringing in Sonny who is scared as hell.

Mr. Chang pulled Sonny close to him by grabbing an amount of her hair, smirking at Jungkook.

"Not even if a little accident happened your girlfriend?", Mr. Chang placed Sonny in front of him, placing his lips close to her neck.

His hand lowered down her arms until they were on her waist. Sonny couldn't move. She just froze while looking at Jungkook.

"Stop it!", Jungkook yelled at him.

Mr. Chang didn't listen. His hands went up and stopped on her breasts but Sonny reacted and elbowed him on the stomach. He didn't like that one bit and punched her on the face, making her fall onto the ground.

"Sonny!..Sonny are you okay??", Jungkook asked.

Mr. Chang stood above her and kept a foot on her back, slightly crushing her.

"Leave her alone!", Jungkook yelled, trying so hard to free his hands.

Mr. Chang tilted his head and bent down to slightly raise her shirt. He raised both eyebrows as he grabbed the gun she was hiding.

"Well look at that. Pretty girl like her shouldn't have a gun, you can hurt yourself sweetheart", he stood back up, holding the gun towards her.

"Okay fine! I'll do it. I'll join your company..just...leave her alone", Jungkook breathed out.

Mr. Chang turned towards him all while keeping the gun on Sonny.

"You see, that was your only opportunity. I don't reconsider things", he said, walking up to him.

He took the gun and placed it right on his temple, smirking.

"If I take you out right now, do you know what will happen to your precious girlfriend? I can cut to the chase....or I can give you all the details. Either way, it'll all end the same", he whispered.

Sonny got behind Mr. Chang and stabbed him on the arm, hearing him scream. Before he could do anything, she took out the knife and stabbed him again on his side, causing him to fall onto the floor.

She quickly went over to untie Jungkook and instantly grabbed her hand to pull her out of there.

"We need to find my dad, Jungkook. He could be anywhere", Sonny said.

"I know. You remember the plan right?", he asked.

"Which one of the many?", she asked.

They heard a gunshot, ducking as they were startled by the sound. Even though Mr. Chang struggles to walk, he still managed to pick up the gun and keep shooting.

They ran towards the elevator while beating up a few of his men that were blocking the way. As the doors opened, another gunshot was heard but it ended up getting Sonny on the arm. She tripped and held onto her arm as she yelled in pain. Jungkook carried her into the elevator and quickly pushed a button so the elevator doors would close.

He put her down and checked her arm which was bleeding so much. He ripped a part of his jacket and wrapped it around the wound, making her yell louder while he repeatedly apologized.

"Jungkook, we need to find him. We can't leave him-"

"I know. But you can't. Not like this", he said.

He took out his phone from his back pocket and sighed in relief as the call was still going. She checked and realized he had already called the police.

"I don't understand-"

"I knew this was gonna go badly so I called them and kept the call going so they can hear everything. They should've been here by now", Jungkook said as he checked the time.

"So you had me thinking that we could do this? On our own? Do you know how terrified I was??? I could've easily called the cops too to avoid any of this!", Sonny yelled but it only caused for her head to hurt.

Jungkook held onto her just in case she lost consciousness and pushed the button to go down to the lobby. He took out his gun and held it close.

"What are you doing?", Sonny asked, staring at the gun.

"People will know and his men could be right out there-"

"It's not like you can take them anyway. Just forget it. We're not getting my father back. And we're both dead. I won't get to see Rose anymore and-"

"Stop..talking nonsense", he said.

When he heard the 'ding', the grip on the gun tightened and covered Sonny's eyes. The elevator doors opened, Jungkook pointed the gun forward but stopped as the police were doing the same thing.

"Put the gun down sir, right now!", one of the policeman ordered.

Jungkook explained to them that he's the one who called and that Sonny needed medical help. He also explained that her father is being kept hostage. They immediately took over while the paramedics took Sonny to the hospital.
