23| You're....so–cool!

Taking a deep breath, she steps forward and runs for her life. As soon as she started running the person also started to run as well. She ran for her life. She couldn't die—not yet.

Shadow didn't halt or nor did she stops for a break. She was a good runner and her lung capacity was way better than most people. She ran and ran toward her house. Today, her house was also feeling like it was in another state.

Usually, it takes her 20 minutes when she drags her feet toward her home but today, even after running it was feeling like more than 30 minutes have passed but still, her home wasn't in the sight.

While running her eyes scan the place for something to hide behind but to her bad luck, nothing was in sight, not even a dustbin. Panting, she stops for a while. Her hand resting on her knees as she tries to take breaths that she lost while running. Her lungs were long gone and her legs were about to give up. She was this close to passing out.

"Shadow!" Her ears perk up when a familiar voice calls for her name. She throws her head back, closing her eyes, and a smile of relief tugs on her lips. Today's days should be written in history because this was the day she was genuinely happy and relieved that Jungkook was with her.

"Shadow!" Another yell—but it sounded different. A yell of....helplessness and pain. Her brows pinch together as she quickly turns around only to witness tall and buff men towering over Jungkook. Her heart drops in the pit of her stomach. She knew very well that Jungkook couldn't fight those men and the look in his eyes was making it obvious.

"Stupid bitch!" She groans, walking towards the group of men. Jungkook's eyes widen in shock when she walks toward them. "No! No! Run! Don't come here!" He shouts, shaking his head vigorously. She rolls her eyes at him, shaking her head. "Dumb fucker always gets himself in trouble."

Jungkook was stupid and he got to know about this today. He thought about helping her but got stuck himself and now, he's giving her trouble as well. Now, he understood what she meant when called him stupid.

"Fuckers! What the fuck you're doing with that boy?" She shouts, slanting her head sideways. Everyone turns around, squinting their eyes at the feminine voice but they couldn't see anything because of the dark. "Why don't you play with me instead? I swear it will be fun when I will crack your bones into two."

The flickering light shines on her figure, making the group laugh in amazement. A girl beating men was too hilarious for them. And they underestimating her was too funny for her.

She chuckles evilly, pointing her index finger towards them, and sliding it against her throat. "Oh! Baby girl! Are you here to have fun?" The tallest of them walked toward her, taking slow steps. His blonde greasy and fuzzy hair flew in the wind.

Jungkook's heart beats against his rib cage, it was like it was going to come out at any time. He gulps in helplessness, trying to free himself but all he got was a punch on his face. "It's all because of me!"

Shadow doesn't move from her place, looking straight ahead with her chin raised. The blonde licks his lips, checking her out from head to toe. "We will play with you...." Jungkook tries to kick the men holding him but they were much stronger than him. "NO!!! LEAVE HER! SHADOW GO!"

The tall man closes the distance between them, snaking his arms around her waist he seemed thick but was really thin. "Your figure seems nice to play with...but–what about your face." He trails his finger from her cheek towards her neck, stopping near her chest. "I don't show my face. Why don't we play like this?" She replies in a low voice, intimidating the man.

"LET HER GO FUCKER—" The blonde raises his finger in annoyance, giving his men order to make the annoying boy shut his mouth. The tan man rolls his eyes, kicking Jungkook's face. Jungkook growls in pain, shaking his head to stay awake.

"Baby, take that mask off." She chuckles, grabbing his hand before it could touch her mask. "Let him go!" She claims in a stern voice, clutching his hand tighter. The man chuckles, staring at the girl in amusement. "You're something else. Now, I'm really tempted to rip these clothes off and ruin that pus—Aghhhh!!!!"

She smirks, gazing at the man who was now on his knees, holding his crotch. Just like she wanted—on his knees for her. "What were you saying? With this dick? I don't think you will satisfy me enough."  The man glares at her through his slits, his chest tossing up and down.

Rage fills his chest, making him crazy. He stands up, grabbing her neck. "You slut!" He yells, pushing her into the wall behind her. Shadow tugs at his hand, trying to peel them off her neck but he makes his clutch stronger. He sneers at her, watching her struggle in his grip.

"LEAVE ME YOU FUCKERS!! NO! SHADOW! I'M SO SORRY!! LEAVE HER!! LEAVE ME!!"

Her chest toss up and down, he wasn't planning to let go instead he was making his hold tighter and tighter. "Now, bitch! Where's your sassiness huh?" He laughs evilly, clenching his jaw. Jungkook on the other side was crying like a baby looking at her. He blamed himself for all of this happening.

Out of the blue, her arms fall to her sides as she stops struggling. Her body relaxes in his grip. She rolls her eyes, peeling her mask off that was making her struggle more.

She licks her rosy lips. A smirk tugs her lips, showing her sharp teeth that could cut your skin. The man's smirk fades away when he saw her sneering at him instead of struggling. "You thought." She says and places her hand on his elbow, twisting it in the right direction and kicking his face.

The man falls to the ground unconscious, his nose bleeding, as well as his lip. She takes a deep breath, stretching her limbs. Jungkook stares at her in awe. His eyes widen and his mouth is agape in shock. "She's so cool!"  Shadow raises her hand towards her red neck, massaging it.

"Who wants to fight? Is there any man in the group? Or....." She walks towards them, her steps slow and calculated. They all gulp, looking at each other, afraid of the girl before them. She reaches near them, standing at a distance.

A short man with a mustache comes forward, glaring at her. She tilts her head, smirking at the man. Jungkook's eyes widen when he noticed that the mask was gone and he could see her sharp jawline and her rosy plum lips that were perfect for a kiss. Her sharp teeth could cut your flesh, and make you bleed, reminding him of vampires.

Jungkook was awestruck by her. He didn't know if it was the fact that he craved to see her for a long time or it was because the woman in front of him was so cool that she was making him fall in love.

"Shorty, go back before I do something brutal and–leave that boy." Everyone snickered at her statement. Jungkook bit his lips, trying to hold in his laugh but at last, he fails and the result of his failure was a kick on his stomach and a punch on his face. The short man drowns in humiliation. No one ever said that to him.

He was filled with anger as he charges at her. She clicks her tongue, shaking her head. "Fuckers don't even know how to fight." She steps on her side and kicks his back. The man falls to the ground with a loud thud, his knees scraping on the ground. "You whore!!!"

He shouts and attacks her again, trying to grab her hair but before he could reach towards her hair, she spins and swings her leg on his head—and another man on the ground, knocked out.

"Woah!" Jungkook exclaims his eyes twinkling in admiration and excitement. Another punch made its way to his face. Jungkook keeps forgetting that he had no lines in this chapter and the others were getting annoyed by him.

"Leave him I'm really tired today." She demands, cracking her neck and her knuckles. Suddenly, both men yank Jungkook away. Shadow's eyes widen in shock.

She bites her lip, her heart beating against her rib cage. They both surround her, sneering at her. "Now where you will go huh? You bitch!" She roams her gaze around, calculating their moves. The way they were moving and trying to attack was seriously really lame. She didn't know why were they even goons to start with when they didn't even know how to fight.

She smirks at them, getting ready for an amazing combo. "First learn how to fight, fuckers!" With that said, she grabs the head of the tan male with her elbows against his chest, pushing them further, making it harder for him to attack since the pain was too much but that didn't mean she didn't get any punches in her stomach or on her face.

The pale man stares at her in shock. "How was she so fast?" The pale man thought, blinking his eyes. She smiles at him, biting her lip. The pale gaze fell on her lips, getting hypnotized by her seductive moves. She sneers when she successfully caught the man in his trance. Without noticing, she knees the tan man in his stomach, and a punch land on his face.

The pale man breathes heavily when he saw his brother unconscious, laying unconscious. His lips tremble as his fists trembles. "You can go. Shoo!" She waves her hand in the air, shooing him away. The man runs for his life, not looking backlog for his gang.

"Humans—they all are selfish." She scoffs, rolling her eyes.

Loud clapping and screaming could be heard from behind. She turns around, wiping her bloody lips with the back of her hand. She picks up her cap before going toward Jungkook. A smile stretches her lips as she walks toward him, not paying attention to her uneven breathing.

Jungkook smiles at her, trying his best to keep his eyes open. She reaches near him but doesn't say anything. He stares at her with hooded eyes, breathing heavily. "You...are so–cool!" And he collapses to the ground, with a smile still lingering on his face.

Shadow couldn't help but laugh at the boy and his silly expressions. She crouches near him, tilting her head. "Stupid." She says, ruffling his hair.

The longest chapter I have written in this book.
Leave Jungkook, I'm in love with her!
