Choi Jiah

Chapter Fourteen

Jungkook walked Ji Su into her apartment and then he went back to grab her 'gift' from whom she calls 'Nightmare.' He went to the kitchen with the intention to throw it all away but was stopped by Ji Su. She place a hand on his, shaking, but moved her other to hand to grab the letter addressed to her.

"Are you sure you want to read that? And why won't you let me throw this all way?" he questioned her. He knew that he should not but with this new status of their relationship he felt the need to protect her. It was over powering his rational thinking.

"I am sure that I want to read this letter even if it brings back memories. The other stuff I want to bag it up. There are gloves and trash bags in the left middle drawer over by the stove." She said and went into the living room.

Jungkook went over to grab a bag along with the gloves and started to put the creepy eyeless bear, dead flowers, and balloon. This had Jae written all over it, but only if he could find the proof that it was him. Once that was all done. He made his way to Ji Su. She was sitting down on the couch, the letter on the coffee table opened. He made his way to sit next to her and grabbed the letter.

Happy Anniversary

Do you remember that morning you were running?

You looked so beautiful.

I hope to one day recreate that day.

The day that I finally finished what I started.

I should have not let you live.

You have tormented me for years.

Just promise me that you will keep your dog in the kennel.

I do not want anyone to intervene with what I plan for you.

Say your goodbyes now.

Today, tomorrow, a week, month, could be your last.

Yours truly

This guy was a sick bastard. Was he planning to rape her and then kill her? All because he could not do that the first time. He put the letter back down and looked at her. Ji Su was shaking. He knew it was not due to the cold, it was the fear this man had over her.

Jungkook wrapped his arms around her and held her. "I am not going anywhere. I will find out more evidence and have him taken care of." He felt her shake more and tears fall from her face. He hated when she cried. Not because it was annoying, no it was because of how scared she was. They stayed like that until Mi Sun come home announcing her arrival stating she hope they were dressed.

She stopped short when she saw Jungkook whisper that Ji Su was asleep. He was in the kitchen making some tea. Mi Sun walked over to Ji Su to make sure she was not sick. She stopped when she saw the letter.

Making her way to the kitchen and sat down on one of the island chairs. "He sent her another one?" she asked in a low whisper.

"How many has he sent to her?" he asked pouring tea into his cup and then one for Mi Sun.

"One every year on the anniversary and only on random times. She has them saved saying that once she finds out who she will hand it all over to the police." She let out a heavy sigh. "I think she does it to torment herself."

Jungkook nodded his agreement. "I think we need to hand this over, but I could have Yoongi take a look." That got Mi Sun's attention. "A few weeks ago, when Ji Su and I were on a break I had Yoongi look up somethings about Ji Su and Jae. Something that I found tells me that Jae has been the guy who raped her and now is tormenting her. I do not know the reason for dating her, but I am sure it is twisted and sick."

"You dug into his past and Ji Su's?" she asked.

He leaned against the counter with the mug in his hand. "See I did not with Ji Su only about the assaults that happened this year. Jae was the one into which I was looking." He took a sip letting what he said sink.

"What did you find about that bastard?" Mi Sun finally took her mug and started to add sugar to her tea and then stood up to grab the milk. Once she was done with that, she gave her attention to Jungkook.

"We found out that he did not show up until the year after. He was a student at the University, but he was nonexistent the previous year. However, his photo the spend of those two years changed." Jungkook pulled out his phone and fidget with it before handing it over to Mi Sun. "We don't know if he had cosmetic surgery to change into a handsome man or the other possibility is that he could have a brother that he is protecting."

Mi Sun looked at the photos that Jungkook pulled up to show her. She looked at the difference of the photos. Both had the same face structure, but the hair, nose, and eye arrangement has changed. "Ji Su in her police report said that she saw who it was but did not know who. The did a composite sketch. This photo," Mi Sun pointed to. "Looks a lot like the sketch. However, this man was well known for a series of assaults and was never caught. Ji Su was his last one and the one that he intended to kill. However, she fought her way out and made it to campus police." Mi Sun glanced over her shoulder. "She was bad, Jungkook. He had beat her, ripped her clothes, damaged her knees and hip. She was so bloody that I broke down when I got the call." She looked back at him. "I stayed with her through all the tests. They were unable to collect a DNA sample because she fought her way from him before he could ejaculate in her."

Jungkook set his now empty mug on the counter taking what Mi Sun just shared. "What did the police do?" he asked.

"Nothing. They did absolutely nothing. They took her statement and the rape kit, but that is all. I went to the station asking about her case when she was still in the hospital. I was told there was nothing more they could do since there was no DNA." She slammed her mug on the counter expressing her irritation with the police. "I know they are doing his or her job, but in a way to blame Ji Su for not securing a DNA example for her rapist. It pisses me off."

Jungkook knew that feeling. "In the morning I will talk with Yoongi and see what we can come up with. For now, let us just call it a night." He made his way to Ji Su when Mi Sun spoke.

"You are good for her, you know. Out of all the guys she has dated you are the winner. Just do not break her. She is already fragile as it is." Mi Sun stood up and made her way to her room leaving Jungkook and Ji Su.

Jungkook lean down and slide his arms under her picking her up in a bridal style. Once she was secure in his arms, he made his way to her room.

He did not sleep at all. He was on the phone with Yoongi and looking up what he could about Jae and the 'Nightmare.' He did not noticed that dawn broke and Ji Su stirred in sleep only to wake up.

"Please tell you at least got some sleep." She greeted him with and rolled out of bed.

"My mind was to wire that I couldn't sleep." He felt her hands on him and kissed him cheek.

"You need a break." He turned to her as if she were telling him that what he was doing was important and needed to be done asap. "I know what you are thinking, but it is morning, and you are on my list for fitting today along with Jin. After that I just have a few changes and then I am down until the August 5th." She slide into his lap.

"But this is important. Not just for me, but for you and your safety." He wrapped his arms around and leaned his hand on her shoulder. "I just got you and I don't want to lose you with the bastard roaming around."

"Well, after today I have nothing to do. I could ask Mi Sun about my schedule. If there is nothing, then we can head to Busan a few weeks earlier." He gave her questioning look. "Mi Sun and I bought a beach house a few years ago. With the store bring a good amount of money and the inheritance from my grandmother, we chose to buy a beach house in Busan." He picked up his head as to look at her. She brushed the hair that was covering his eyes to the side. "It would be ideal to stay somewhere that is safe and that is the only place that I am thinking about that is safe. Plus, you will be there." She taped him on the nose before getting up from his lap, but his grip was too tight around her.

She looked at him and that was when he leaned in to kiss her. Short and simple. "I never give you enough credit for how brilliant you are."

"Don't falter me Casanova." She teased him and she got out of his grip and ran to the bathroom.

He leaned back into the chair and rubbed his face. He was exhausted from working all night. From all that work with Yoongi nothing came up. Yoongi expressed that maybe taking a break and waiting may helped. He was not going to that not with his girl's life was on the line. But with what Ji Su told him and where they could go was not a bad idea. Going to Busan was close enough for him to bring her home. Plus, he needed to go home since he has not been home since he got back from the states. His parents knew he was home and did not pressure him to come home.

So, he closed the lap top, put his phone on the charger before he made his way to the bed. The thought of closing his eyes for a few minutes would do the trick. Once his eyes were closed sleep took over. He was still aware of his surroundings when he would hear Ji Su walked around getting dress. Walking out the door and then back in. he felt the bed sink in by him.

"I am heading to work, try and be there by one. I will do Jin's fitting first since he has more then you." He felt her lean down and kissed his head and whispered that she loved him. The last sound he heard was her walking out and muffled voices.

He slept for what felt like an hour, but when he woke up it was 11:30. He rolled out of bed and left the girls place and back into his place to shower and change. Once he was done, he walked back out to head to Paris Boutique. He made a stop to grab coffee for himself and Ji Su, along with Jin and Mi Sun. once he arrived, he carried the drinks and made his way to Mi Sun's office and then Jin's handing them their drinks. Then he made his way to Ji Su. When he walked in, she was on the phone.

"Quintin, are you trying to tell me that I need to personally invite you to the upcoming Busan show here in two weeks? I thought you were already invited." She paused while Quintin spoke. "Quintin I am sure you can contact whom ever is in charge and you will be invited. I cannot invite unless you were one of my models, but you are not." Another pause. "No, I am only showcasing 21 outfits, and I have seven men that will be walking the runway." She looked annoyed and then finally looked up at Jungkook who hand her coffee. He sat down and drank his coffee while he waited. "Quintin I am sorry, but I must go. I have a clint waiting." Before she hung up, he said something to make her blush. "Quintin he is one of the models. We are not going to do that. Have a wonderful day." She hung up before he could get another word in.

"Quintin trying to sneak in for the show?"

She let out a breath. "Yes, because he wants to see my showcase since this would be first one at the Busan show. I told him that I could not because all the tickets that I was given to went to some of the workers here. Since I am the designer, Mi Sun the manager, and then all seven of you men modeling there was no need to keep the five tickets."

"Makes since and so he is all upset about it?"

"Yes, but his name is pretty well known that he could just say who he was and be on the list." She stood up and walked around her desk. Leaning against it. "This show is like fashion week in Paris. This is just our show for all the local and surrounding areas fashion designers. Mi Sun and I have been invited to about three and this is the year that I have been asked to showcase. So, this is important to me." She express to him.

His hand took hers. "I know and it is important to me as well. I am here to support you and help you with this dream and I am willing to continue to help you fulfill all the dreams you if you let me." That brought a smile to her face, the one that lights up the room. "So, what do have to do? Are you going to poke me only to make me feel better later?" he asked wiggling his eyebrows.

She shook her head, and she made her way to the rank. "All you do is put on each of the outfits, and then each time step on the fitting platform. From there I will look and make sure each outfit works and fits. If there some alterations that I must do I will be pinning in the areas that needs the alterations. So, if I poke you, I will kiss it better for you." She instructed and pulled out his garment bag.

He placed his coffee on the desk and walked over to her. Taking the garment bag and stealing a kiss from her before going into the changing room.

Taehyung was the eighties bad boy, Jungkook was the modern bad boy. She was influenced by his tattoos, his hair, and piercings. His outfits were mainly jeans, fitted shirts, sweaters, and there was one outfit that she created based of the butterfly tattoo. It was not a consider as modern bad boy vibe, but she visioned it as a bad boy transitioning into a handsome butterfly.

Jungkook in the changing room, opened the garment bag to see a lot of jeans, a black sweater, and a plaid jacket. There were some fitted shirts, but it seem that was not really that highlight of his outfits. The last one was a suit. He was confused about his outfits, but he was sure his girl knew what she was doing. So, he dressed in the first outfit. Light blue jeans with premade holes and a black sweatshirt. There was a black shirt wear underneath. He walked out once dressed and smirked.

"So, I looked that good?" he teased Ji Su who frozen with her mouth opened. He made his way to her with the intention of kissing her deep and slow, but her mouth closed and pointed to the platform.

"That will have to wait we have work to do." She stammered out getting to work.

When the were down and Ji Su was working on a few things he sat down to wait until she was done. Once she was, she went to Mi Sun to asked her a few things and then she came back. Jotting down a few things and then she finally looked up at him.

"We are a go to the beach house." She told him looking away to clean up her desk. "Mi Sun said that she will bring everything a few days before the show. She even told me she will call before she that way we are dressed." A little giggle escaped her lips. She moved to stand in front of him.

Jungkook leaned forward and grabbed her hand making her sit on his lap. "While we are there, I want to do something." She gave him a questioning look. "My parents live in Busan, and I was thinking that maybe I could introduce you to them."

"If that is want you want to do then. Just call them and have a day set so that way I can be prepared. Plus ask your parents what the like so I do not come empty handed."

He brush a strand of hair out of her face and placed it behind her ear. "I will ask because I know better than to tell you to not worry about it."

She smiled and then told him. "We should head back home and pack. Once we are pack, we can head out."

He helped her off his lap and then stood up taking her hand. "We can take my Jeep and Noona can take you car home." He suggested.

"Yeah, it might be better since it might know what car I drive. He could know yours too, but I doubt it." They walked out hand in hand. Stopping one last time in Mi Sun's office to give her Ji Su's car keys.

"He would be an idiot if he followed." He told her opening the door for her.

"A major idiot." She said in agreement.

He walked around to get in and once he was in, they drove off to pack for two weeks. Jungkook had one bag and Ji Su had three. She told him that one is daily wear, the second was for the fashion show, and the third was everything else. He shook his head and grabbed her bags along with his one. When they got back to the Jeep, his phone pinged.

He grabbed his phone out of his pocket to see it was from Yoongi.

Yoongi: a sick twist of fate. He has a whole list of charges that have been cleaned off his record. He could be the guy. I will look more into it.

Jungkook read that over and over. Ji Su touched his arm to see if he was ok. He put his phone back his pocket after sending a quick message back to Yoongi.

"You ready?" he asked her once they were settled in the Jeep.

"I am. Let us enjoy this vacation." She took his hand and held it.

"Alright four and a half hours here we go."
