Second chapter in YJ's pov, hope you enjoy!

Also before you say that somethings aren't adding up, I know. I haven't let them talk about everything yet so there will be some more possible details talked about in this chapter.

Enjoy!


Woo Bin, Li Bin, Nigari and I were sitting in the little four seat facing each other as we talked about more possibilities about Ga Eul's abduction.

"We need to catch him as soon as possible. Preferably within the next four hours. Last time he had her, he didn't touch her for hours. I really, really want to avoid having Ga Eul go through that again, please." Nigari said, pain evident in his eyes. "Last time almost broke her and she was almost back to her old self. I don't want it to break her completely, I don't know if she'd survive it this time."

I didn't allow my eyes to close for more than a split second, scared that I would imagine a scared, broken Ga Eul. A Ga Eul that would not smile all the time and would not be her optimistic self.

It was something similar to a nightmare and did not want to imagine it.

"None of us will sleep until this has been solved and we have Ga Eul back, is that clear?"

"Yes, sir!" Everyone answered in unison.

"Good." Li Bin barked, "As soon as we all land, we start searching immediately. I know we all have contacts in Osaka, we will all contact them and get our intell. Understood?"

"Yes, sir!" Was said again.

Li Bin nodded once before focusing back on the four of us, "You know what I've been wondering?"

"What?"

"Ga Eul... How did he get her to go with him? I mean, I can't see her willingly going with her fucking rapist somewhere. I saw the state she was in when she saw him in passing, let alone when he's in front of her. She goes into some sort of catatonic state, no way is she able to walk herself."

Woo Bin shook his head, "No, I had to carry her when I found her a week ago. She wouldn't move... How did he get her across borders?"

"No airport security would let a guy carrying a woman through, no one."

Something seemed to click in Woo Bin's mind, "Yeah, but what if he didn't have to go through security and had a jet waiting for him? What if he had a driver for himself? What if- Nigari, did Ga Eul tell you anything about one of her last outings with her parents?"

"Are you talking about the company p- you're talking about the guy who was interested in her and cornered her in the bathroom."

Woo Bin nodded, "He seemed influential enough, I just don't know if he was Japanese though. She didn't say."

"He was if I remember correctly." Nigari slowly nodded, "I- I met the slimy bastard once, well not really meet him but just see him. Something was off about him. Excuse me while I go talk to Noshimuro, he might get more information."

"Do it quickly. What's his name, we'll all get information on him."

"Watanabe Daiki." Nigari said and promptly left his seat and walked to the end of the cabin where he whipped out his phone and proceeded to text.

An hour after, all of us were off the plane and I was sitting in the passenger seat of Woo Bin's car. I was leaning my head against the window and aimlessly watched the scenery pass us by as we drove to Osaka.

"Bro." Woo Bin called my attention.

"Hmm?"

"Don't do this, don't imagine every worst case scenario because that is going to get you nowhere. You need to focus on her, right now. She needs us. Needs you."

"I need to apologize, properly." I bit out, "What I said was unacceptable. I only said it because..."

"Because?" My friend prompted me.

"Because I was jealous." I admitted.

I didn't need to look at him to know he was frowning. "Jealous? About what?"

"Her... Nigari, them. Together."

"So? They share a history together, what's so bad about that?"

"A history? Woo Bin, they fucked all over Japan and most of Korea. That's not just some history."

"Why does it matter so much to you? Last time I asked you about Ga Eul, you called her 'some girl who hangs around you, another one in the crowd.'" He snapped, "You-"

"I lied!" I snapped, "Okay? I lied! I absolutely adore that woman but she deserves so much more than me. What life could I give her? She would just end up like my-"

"Don't finish that thought." The other man snapped, "You, So Yi Jeong, are not like your father. Your father is all alone and only thinks of himself but you, you do everything for everyone else! Look at you now, you jumped on a plane without thinking twice about it, to find a girl you claim not to love. Your father wouldn't even do that for someone he openly admitted to loving."

"Woo Bin, I go out every night and go back home with a new girl. I play with their feelings because it benefits me, I don't think I can become more like my father than I already have."

"Okay, so tell me this: Ga Eul went through something traumatizing, she'll need someone's shoulder to lean on. She's going to turn to someone, who will she turn to do you think?"

"I don't know." I did know but I didn't want to admit it. Having to admit it would mean that I'd accept it, which I did not.

"I'll tell you then. She'll turn to Nigari, she'll stay with him more permanently and seeing as she's about to graduate, she just might move here permanently. They'll spend all their time together seeing as they're sharing a house or apartment. Ga Eul's admitted to still loving the guy and despite having a player's reputation, Nigari's also admitted to quitting all that to be true to Ga Eul again. Knowing this, how long do you think it'll be before they go from just sharing living quarters to sharing a room?"

I groaned, closing my eyes as to keep from lashing out, "She won't do that. She won't leave Korea behind."

"You don't know that, she's done so before. She said that after she left her family, she almost moved here. The only thing that stopped her from actually doing it back then was her age and the fact that her Japanese was not on point yet. Not like it is now." Woo Bin shared.

"She's not going to leave Korea because she's not going to rely on Nigari." I snapped, "I won't let her. I'll be there, I'll be by her side and she'll be able to get comfort from me."

"Is that a good idea, bro?" He asked, "She'll need a lot of attention, a lot of time. You won't be able to go out every night and bring home a new girl every time you go out. You'll need to be there for her, you know."

"And I will be. I'll be there for her, always." I sighed, "You're right. I may not be like my father after all. I'm ready to give it all up, all for her."

"What are you saying, bro?"

"I'm done playing games and beating around the bush with her. I'm ready to be true to my feelings and finally admit to her what I'm feeling for her. I'm not going to let my fear of being like my father rule my life anymore."

The man behind the wheel snorted, "As if I would let you- better yet, as if Ga Eul would ever let you treat her like that. She's a package deal, Yi Jeong. Go for her, you get Nigari as well. He'll keep you on the straight and narrow as well."

"I know. I do." I promised and for the first time in over six hours, since Ga Eul had been taken, I felt some form of relief that finally, I was being honest and had a future to look forward to.

A future with Ga Eul.
