Y/N'S POV

"What? Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm taking that Leap of Faith in trusting you Angel" he smirked.
"Trusting that you won't tell anybody."

He just told me that he was escaping prison and now he didn't want to tell anybody!? I couldn't deal with that type of pressure! I need to find out more so that I can report it.

"Well, then what time are you going to do it..?" I asked, trying not to seem too suspicious.

The criminal chuckled deeply, closing his eyes, as I sat in my seat, tense, but still determined.

"You're testing the trust thing we have going, aren't you?" he said, opening his eyes and staring into my soul with his yellow irises, making my stomach twist. Why does he always have that effect on me?

"Well, if you must know- tomorrow."

What? So soon? I wondered as I checked the clock watch on my wrist.

11:58 am

"So, are you going to tell anybody?" he said in a flat tone with zero frets about his hasty decision, sending shivers down my spine. "Because if not, I would like you to come with me."

And that is when all my world went still.

He wanted me to come with him. Why would he want me though?

"Why?" I said with half-confidence, making his smirk widen and his eyebrow raised.

"You don't seem happy here, and you deserve more," he explained casually, but that alone made me rethink my entire life. I could never, I can't just run away with a criminal like him.

"So, the answer is..?" he awaited as I snapped out of the minefield of thoughts inside my head.

"I-I can't Jungkook, it would be making a deal with the devil," I muttered.

"A very handsome devil at that." he bragged, making me scoff.

"My offer will remain open." he ended, by leaning back in his chair and dropping his head back, putting his Adam's apple on full display for me to look at, bobbing up and down.

"Whatever you say," I muttered as the alarm went off and a very grumpy Jimin stormed in and quickly chains Jungkook back up.

He never got used to the fact that I would be talking to the most dangerous gang leader in the state, alone in an empty room. He was always acting like a big brother to me, giving me a small wave as he brought Jungkook away from me and left.

And once again, I was left in the room alone, allowing the panic to set in.

What am I supposed to do? I just got an offer to run away with a gang leader! I needed to tell someone. Now. I felt as if I'd burst if I didn't let it out.

Who knows what he'll do when he escapes? He could kill so many more people. I have to tell someone. Even if that meant betraying a dangerous criminal that I have the trust of.

-

Sceptically walking out of the room, I looked around to see if there were any guards, I saw one dozed off, leaning on the cement walls.

He had his hat tipped on the edge of his nose, shielding his sight from anything. I walked up to him, the sounds of my steps echoing around the room, but still, no reaction from him. If he can't hear me now, what will make him hear Jungkook when escapes?

"Huh?" the guard slurs out as I tap my heel loud enough to snap him out of his sleep.

He gives me a grouchy look before straightening his posture and clearing his voice in a cough.

"What can I do for you, little lady?" he says in a southern accent, but my blood runs cold at the flash of Jungkook's eyes in my mind.

If I do this then I would be betraying one of the most dangerous criminals out there, a supernatural one at that.

"Well-"

"Well, what? You just woke me up from my sleep" he pouted, and I finally came up with something else to say.

"That's just it! Why are you sleeping on the job? Jungkook Jeon is a few doors away from you and he could escape any second, so get back to your job" I demanded, but as soon as I stopped, I stood there stunned. That was a very close call. I nearly just told this stranger about it. But he seemed too surprised about my outburst to care about it.

"S-sorry lady- I mean ma'am! I'll get right to it!" he said before speed-walking away.

I look around to see if there's anyone else, whilst biting my nails in anxiety. I can't let him escape, but I can't let him know that I told anybody. How can I possibly do that? I walk away from the prison cells and look down with my mind racing with thoughts, almost blurring my vision.

The hall was filled with people, and some pushed past me roughly, but only one caught my attention.

He was positioned outside a door, it looked to be nothing important- as if he was just standing there for the muse of it. But I knew who it was when I saw his hand slide from his pocket. The tattoo of the wing. I looked up to see his face and saw his eyes already on me, waiting for a reaction but I couldn't give one, not here, not now.

I turned away quickly to storm away. Hearing his low chuckle echo through my ears, over and over. What do I do, what do I-

"Oof!"

I had been so distracted that I wasn't looking at where I was going, and I was now on the floor after colliding with someone. I looked up and saw a familiar face with a familiar smile, holding out a hand for help.

"Lisa!" I said in surprise.

I took her hand and yanked myself up as her smile turned to a frown as she looked at my face for a second longer. She put both of her hands on each of my shoulders so that I couldn't walk or turn away from her. She may look weak, but she has the strength of a bodybuilder.

"What's wrong Y/n?" she asked.

What was wrong with me? All I had to do was tell someone what was going to happen tonight. For a minute I stared into her eyes trying to speak but I couldn't. My mouth just didn't let me. "You can tell me- "

"I can't," I sobbed, dropping my head onto her shoulder and as soon as I did she pulled me into a tight hug.

"I want to.. so, so bad... but I can't" I cried and pushed my head deeper into her shoulder to hide my sorrowful face covered in tears. Lisa patted my back and just nodded her head. She wasn't a friend to push something, she always let it come out when it needed to, and that's why she was my best friend. She was always there for me.

-

Once I calmed down we both went on our break and sat on the bench outside. I was quiet most of the time whilst Lisa comforted me. I gave her a little smile. As she went in for another hug, I rested my chin on her shoulder, whilst looking at the busy street of the city with a smile, I caught eyes with a mysterious figure standing on the other side of the road, looking for someone.

He was all dressed in black, but in a sophisticated style, with a blazer and expensive-looking accessories. It made his green eyes pop out even more. My mouth dropped wide open.
As we locked eyes, after a minute all he did was smirk and walk away swiftly as if he found what he was looking for.

My jaw clenched and my fingers dug into my hand. It seemed as if he was everywhere.

We both pulled out of the hug and continued to chat until both of our breaks were over and we went back to work to continue our 10 more minutes of work until it was over.

I found a good article to read about advice from a former therapist and I got so lost in the content that I didn't notice that Lisa came in until she started talking. "How long until you finish? It's getting dark and it's nearly 10 pm" she whined, and I knew she wanted to get home to the warmth.

"Go ahead without me, I'm going to finish this article" I smiled, and she nodded with a smile and turned on her heel, trotting off as fast as she could with her booted shoes.

-

Twenty more minutes of reading had led to an hour, and then another until it was midnight. I had finished the article but had plenty of procrastination to catch up on so all I did was let my mind lead to Jungkook.

I didn't even realize how long I'd been thinking about him until I saw that I had gone well over my shift and into the night. I cleaned up my things and walked out of the darkened room. By this time nearly everyone was gone except for the overnight guards.

Walking down the silent hallway, I got a chill up my spine. It's never been this dark and spooky at night and it feels like something or someone was watching me. As I walked my footsteps echoed and the adrenaline and fear that I was experiencing were rising, rapidly.

And for a moment, I could swear that I could hear another person walking. Just a few more steps to the entrance.

I snapped as I opened the door and the cold wind hit my face. I ran. I booked it down the street, tightly turning building corners. Even though I was out of breath halfway to my home, I still ran and ran until I got to the apartment complex entrance. Closing the door quietly, not to wake up others, I lazily walked up the stairs since I had spent all my energy running. Finally I reached the door and let out a happy sigh. Finally.. home!

I opened the door slowly but was surprised when I didn't hear Tweety 's happy chirps, she was usually so excited when I got home. I walked further into the apartment and closed the door quietly.

"Tweety?" I whispered trying to see if she or anyone else was there.

Checking around a few places, I finally went to my bedroom and saw her huddled on my bedside table, looking... scared?

Walking in and pushing past the door, I went to pick her up but froze as I felt a shadow hiding behind the door. My eyes darted to the window in front of me and I saw the reflection of a man.
Turning around quickly, I tried to see who it was but instead, I was met with the dark as I felt a needle pinch my neck, I began to feel numb as the liquid pushed further into my blood flow until I passed out.

-

I groaned as the sun beamed on my face. I grabbed my pillow to cover my eyes to shield myself. My head was pounding and hurt like hell as I moved around more.

What happened last night?

Waves of pain went through me as I got out of bed. I looked around my room which was bathed in the sunlight of the morning and saw nothing unusual. But that's when all the memories of last night came rushing back.

Someone broke in. And they sedated me. Then I passed out.

But did I imagine it all?

I rushed around the apartment, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, not even Tweety. She was just sleeping in her cage as she usually does at this time. Rushing into my bedroom, my legs still hurting like hell, I ignored it as I stared at the floor I swear I had fallen onto last night.

Somebody did this, and they planned it well. They knew what they were doing, making it seem like nothing.

Definitely.

Maybe?

Or maybe not?

-

"-at right Y/n..? Y/n!" someone exclaimed, and I looked to my side to see that Lisa was there. Where was I again?

I looked around my surroundings, confused. I was on the streets again, walking with Lisa. To work, I'm guessing? Why couldn't I remember going to the apartment, and meeting up with Lisa, it's like this day just whizzed by in a second. What is happening to me?

Lisa continued to talk about.. well, whatever she was talking about whilst I just nodded my head, pretending to listen to her when I was dozing off in my mind. I kept thinking about last night, it felt so real but when I think about how I woke up today, with nothing out of place, it made me doubt myself even more. Now, I couldn't even find a tiny mark anywhere on my skin where they might've sedated me, just made me doubt myself more.

And then, before I knew it, we were at work.

Lisa and I said our goodbyes and I wearily walked over to my desk and slumped into my chair, my head still throbbing and filled with pain.

I dropped my head into my hands and all I could do was sit there and whine to myself in pain. I closed my eyes and sat in the darkness of my mind, slowly drifting to sleep which kind of eased the throbbing pain, until there was a clunk on my desk and my hung head fell out of my hands, but I shot up my posture before I could let my head fall to the desk.

Still groaning, I looked up to see who it was and saw Jimin standing there, looking down at me very confused.

"It's unlike you to sleep on the job or zone out Y/n." he pep-talked, making me feel guilty. "Lisa told me you weren't acting like yourself this morning and I came to check on you and you're here, sleeping."

I felt like crying. The pressure from Jungkook's offer and the added guilt from Mrs Min and Jimin was too much for me. All I could do was mumble out that I had a really bad headache and needed rest.

Jimin nodded and said that he would drop off some migraine pills later which I just nodded to before lazily getting on my laptop and skimming some articles about illnesses and how to identify them.

Ugh, my eyelids feel like boulders. They were getting harder to keep open by the minute. And before I could have a second thought I dropped my eyes for a few seconds until I was jolted awake.

-

My eyes shot open, and I looked around in surprise.

Where am I ... the therapy room. How did I get here?

My eyes snapped at someone clearing their throat and I saw Jungkook sitting there with a bored-looking face. He looked like he was waiting for a response, but I couldn't give it because I didn't hear a single thing he had said or had been saying.

"Pardon?" I asked, quickly redirecting myself to him but that just made him raise his eyebrow more.

"You were talking and then you suddenly zoned out"

"Oh.."

I don't know why but I couldn't even formulate a single thing in my head with this day just passing in a blink of an eye. Time was going by too fast; how do I stop this?

I suddenly looked back at Jungkook, and he kept looking at me with a confused face.

"Are you okay? You've been acting odd lately this session," he said, voice covered with concern.

I chuckled to myself; a feared criminal cared about me. And is doing my job for me by trying to see what's going on in my life.

"I'm feeling fine. I'm just a little tired.." I said slowly, not even finding the energy to hide what I was feeling. But Jungkook didn't drop the subject, which irritated me inside. I'm going to lose it soon!

"You're not fine. So, are you going to tell me or not?" he demanded, making the anger inside me rise. But I didn't want to outburst so all I did was keep quiet which left the room silent.

Until the bird boy spoke up.

"It's obvious you're not fine, Angel. "

"I'm just stressed okay!" I clapped back, which surprised Jungkook, Even myself.

Jungkook's face turned to an unreadable expression, and I could see his wings spread out from his body. I hung my head wishing that I hadn't just yelled at him.

"Sorry," I whispered, covering my face with my hands out of shame. I don't know why this wall of emotions was crashing over me.

I got up from my seat and faced the wall trying to calm myself down, but my heart spiked as I heard his seat creak as he got up and started walking toward me.

His wings had been stretched out but were now caving in as Jungkook got closer to me, his eyes concentrated on me. I could feel myself start shaking since I hadn't taken my pills in a while but the heat radiating off his body calmed me down. Staring back into his eyes, I could only stare for an amount of time before I turned around, wrapping my hands around my body.

I could feel him getting closer until he was pushed up behind me, and his wings were stretched out, making a little barrier around him and me. But all I could do was stand there in fear. Not from Jungkook, but for what's going to happen to me when he leaves. Would they interrogate me for information? I would probably just spill it all about me letting Jungkook escape out there and then lose my job, friends, and life.

"Angel.." his voice brought me to reality and soothed my mind, but my body still tensed, and my crossed hands hung on my arms with my nails dug into my skin to distract from the other pain.

I dropped my arms in defeat and the atmosphere went still. Jungkook standing over me. I, standing under the criminal with a crumbling feeling of defeat.

Then, as if right on time, the timer went off. The metal door clanged open, and Jimin came in. I didn't turn around to look at either of the men, but I heard Jungkook turn around and Jimin stopped in his tracks. The room stayed still until I finally turned around to see a stare between the guard and the criminal.

"I have another session starting soon," I mumbled, trying to say that I wanted both of them to get out.

There was some more silence that was then quietly followed by footsteps and a loud clang signaling that they were both gone.

My shoulders slumped and the tension in my body was relieved, and I walked back to the little table and saw a bright yellow note as I picked it up and read it, I knew who it was from.

'Goodbye Angel, be out of the building before midnight,'

Midnight.

He's escaping tonight.. tonight?

Should I be there? No! Why would I ever want to stay to see something illegal happen because of me? What is wrong with me?

I sigh to myself and run my fingers through my hair,

I walked out of the room and went back to my desk and started to type everything in my notes into my computer. It took so long that I eventually forgot about the mid-life crisis.

As I was nodding off to sleep, I felt a hand tap me on the shoulder and I looked up to see a bright smiling face.

"Hey Lisa," I said, and she nodded in response before digging something out of her pocket and handing it to me. With closer inspection I could see that they were migraine pills, making me chuckle lightly.

"Thanks, Lisa, don't know what I would do without you" I laughed, and she smiled at me before she started ranting about her sessions, and listening to her, somehow makes me feel better.

I rest my chin on my hand as I listen on and let my eyes rest and listen to her talk more. Only a few more hours.

-

The rest of the day was fine for me. No sessions were out of the ordinary, especially since most of my day had been dedicated to Jungkook.

Glancing at the clock on my desk, it was nearly midnight, and I could feel the nerves building throughout my body by the minute. I was scrolling aimlessly and reading my emails and rereading documents. For whatever reason, I was stalling, waiting for everyone to leave, waving them off and watching them walk out the door as they do.

I didn't want anyone to get hurt and frequently left my desk to check on the night guards, too much so that I received confused looks and stopped after a while.

My fingers tapped on my desk, and I fidgeted with my mouse, clicking in and out of tabs, skimming over anything I could. Sweat brimmed my forehead and my vision started to blur as I felt my anxiety bursting in me.

My bubble bursts once I feel the warmth of somebody behind me, jolting me out of my nightmares. Just as I turn to face Lisa, my alarm goes off and my eyes dart to my phone and it shows the time.

11:50

We needed to get out of here fast. I rushed up and packed all of my things, surprising my friend since she wasn't expecting me to be this fast and frantic, and I stood in front of her with my bag quickly.

"Okay.. let's go?" she said suspiciously, eyeing me up and down before we both walked off out of the establishment. Well, I walked speedily.

As soon as we were out of the building, I let out a long sigh before looking back at the looming building, then my watch stated the passing time- 11:55.

I'm going to come back here tomorrow with a feeling other than relief.

But that's when I realized I had forgotten to get my phone from my office. I cursed at my stupidity and rechecked my watch to see if I had enough time. It would only take five minutes. Just five minutes.

Times were running out

"Lisa, I forgot something in my office, can you wait outside here for me?"

"Sure! No problem!" she grinned.I smiled at her response before dashing into the building as fast as I could. I needed to do this quickly.

Rushing through the hallways, taking sharp turns I finally go to the door and fumble with my keys until it finally clicks open. Frantically looking around, I spotted my phone gleaming and went to grab them but was stopped by a light I saw reflecting from my phone's screen.

I slowly turned around and saw a little spark in the distance. I walked closer to it.. and as I did a little sound got louder. It seemed to be a device and it was beeping, and after three times it would become quicker.

What?

As I got closer, I could see that it was a little box with little sparks coming out of this. I slowed down as I got closer because all I could hear was the beeping getting louder and faster, the spark lighting up the room.

"What the.."

And before I could say anything else, I was thrown across the room.
