Jungwon
I don't know why I am uneasy when I wake up with an empty side of the bed. The last time this happens, I saw Jay hyung being so scary. Why is he always leaving my side now? Before, he's always close to me till morning.
Because I cannot really fall asleep, I stepped out of the room and passed by Jay hyung's office where I saw the lights on through the gaps between the door and the floor, maybe Jay hyung has work to do with Sunghoon and Heeseung again. I ignored my urge to enter the room and went to the kitchen instead. I drank some water and when I saw the pool outside, I am tempted to get into the water and swim. But the water would be so cold and I might get sick.
But Jay hyung said before that the pool can be warm with the power of the heater.
I went to the pool and dip my foot into the water. I am actually still curious on what Jay hyung is doing in his office but I am also trying to distract myself from thinking about him because he might not like me snooping around.
Just then, I felt an arm around me and something was over my nose and it smells nasty making me feel dizzy. I remember Jay hyung telling me that his enemies wanted me to get him so this might be one.
I tried to fight back and I pushed us into the pool but because I am still dizzy, I cannot call Jay hyung and there are more of them who wanted to get me.
I remembered the ring Jay hyung gave me with a button for emergency so I just pressed it and it did nothing and I am already getting dizzy. I tried to swim away but they hold me underwater and maybe because I don't react, they thought I am now out so they pull me out the water.
Just then, I felt them carrying me before everything turns black.
...........
I open my eyes and I am in an unfamiliar room and I am tied, again. This time, I feel scared because I know they're not like Jay hyung. Maybe at first when he tied me, I felt scared but I also feel like he will not hurt me so bad and now, these people, I am scared but I must not cry. Jay hyung said tears will only make the enemy feel stronger. I can't give them what they want, my fear. No way. My precious tears are only meant for people who are worth it, Jay hyung and my friends.
The door opened and I internally pat myself on the back for guessing it is none other than the meanie man who always say he's rich on TV. He's also I think Sunghoon hyung's dad. He doesn't look like Sunghoon hyung at all. I mean, not that he's ugly or something.
"Fancy seeing you here Jungwon"
Well I don't fancy you.
"I wonder what Jay is doing and thinking now that I have the king card. . can he win me now tho? He will have no choice but to say yes to everything I say or else your pretty face won't be seen anymore by him"
At this moment, I got curious, what is Jay hyung doing now? What is he thinking?
"I don't blame him now for being whipped for you. . . you are indeed a beautiful creature. . I never thought the mighty Jay will really be in love. Jay and love don't sound well together in a sentence"
He's not right. Jay hyung is someone who is so caring and loveable and he makes me happy so as the people around him. Even if he has a serious look all the time, he is very sweet and has a big heart.
"I see you're not a talker . . I'll let you watch a movie then"
He puts something in the TV and I saw Jay hyung in it. He's on TV?
However, my eyes widen in horror when I saw him kicking a man aside as the said man just cried with all his bags on the side of the road.
"Sir Jay, I promise, I didn't do anything to betray you . "
"Stop before I will really shoot you"
He walks away from the man and entered his car as the man slowly picked up his things and left before the video ended and the next one played and it is Jay hyung just standing in the middle of what looks like a small restaurant as there are people packing things and a man was standing there with teary eyes.
"Sir Jay, can you at least . . - -"
"Leave, the transaction is done and I'm fed up with your shits"
He's so cold that he didn't even give mercy and his eyes are so scary I thought he has no heart.
The next video shows him in a cafe and a woman was shaking when men started to destroy everything in there. Tables, chairs, furnitures and all. Then Jay hyung stepped closer to her and handed her a check.
"That's more than enough for this trash . ."
"But sir Jay, do you really have to destroy all? If you won't need them, you can give them to me. ."
"I paid for it didn't I? . . it means I own it"
The woman just left and I am almost in tears at how broken she looks.
Another video showed a street vendor being shooed out of her area by some people only for me to see Jay hyung watching with a smirk on the side as the street vendor weeps. That's cruel.
The next clip has a warning and I can't help but assume the worst case scenario. The clip took place at what looks like an abandoned lot and Jay hyung was there then after a few minutes, some men pulled over and I cannot hear them but suddenly, they started to fire guns and my breath stops when I saw Jay hyung emerged from the back of a car and began to fire his gun like a pro towards the men hitting them on their knees or arms. Some men pleaded and put their guns down but Jay hyung still shoots them and his eyes show nothing but rage. If possible, I can see how he is aiming for death with his smirk when some men lost consciousness.
His eyes then stared at the camera and fired his gun towards it and the camera seem to fall and the clip ends there.
The monster I saw is shooting alive people like they're the same with the cardboard target in shooting practices for officers. You know that cardboard shaped like a human? He shoots them like they're paper.
I cannot believe how I am seeing this person right now. I cannot believe he is the same as my Jay hyung.
"Aww, you upset baby? . . .ugh I probably shouldn't call you that . . anyway. . there is one more secret your Jay hyung isn't telling you"
"What?"
"He's using you . . Jungwon, I actually know that you can cry pearls. . . and Jay also knows . . that's why he is good to you, he acts as if he loves you just so he can harvest pearls from your eyes . . "
"That's. . that's not true . . he loves me . . "
"I'm sorry for you Jungwon. . have you ever wondered why all of a sudden he's good to you and he takes Care of you? Because he wants something in return . . I might not know Jay very deeply but as a businessman, Jay won't care for anyone unless they benefit him and that's what happen to you . . . unknown to you, you're actually paying him with your tears. ."
He showed me a paper looking like an advertisement.
Coming soon!
Rare pearls more valuable than diamond and more beautiful than gold, most unique piece of gem found at the deepest part of the ocean.
Get limited edition pieces from one and only leading jewelry company, (Insert Company name here because I forgot what their company name is).
My tears are printed on the paper with Jay hyung and his father's photo placed on top to tell the people who see it that they're the minds behind this.
"No . ."
"It is the truth. . . he doesn't care because if he does, he will be here by now but where is he? . . . he only cares for your tears and he will come get you soon to use you again . "
His statement kinda made sense to me. I mean, he did say we're friends and such but if Jay is really is just using me, I dont know how to feel about it.
I hate to admit it but I am hurt and I want to cry because he might be right and Jay hyung is indeed using me.
I heard that humans take months to develop their feelings and Jay said he loves me in a span of a few months.
Could it be that he's really using me?
Is that why he always make sure to wipe my tears so that if it dries, pearls will be in his hands? That makes sense.
"Park Sooho!!!"
A gunshot followed by someone yell filled my eardrums and my heart immediately fastens its pace when I recognized that voice.
Just then, Park Sooho came over me and ripped my shirt apart making me widen my eyes and he stepped out the room as some of his men came closer and began to remove the jogging pants I'm wearing. I couldn't help my tears from falling as I am now deeply scared.
Scared of them and scared of what Jay hyung could possibly do.
Before another man touch me, the door barged open and I saw Jay hyung shoot all the men around me on their leg or arm, like what he did in the video.
All the men groans in pain as some put up their hands in surrender.
He walked closer to me and his eyes burn with immense rage and I can feel it on my skin as he look at me.
"What did they do to you?"
I met his eyes and I got scared.
"Apart from their hands,what other part of their body touch you?"
"Just hands."
He pull up my joggers and place his jacket over me and he carried me as we go out but then Sooho emerged from somewhere and fired a gun.
My reflexes moved and I jump out his hold and cover myself to him making me bullet hit me on my back.
The shock on Jay hyung's face is evident as he fired his gun to Sooho but he screams in frustration that tells me he escaped.
"Jay hyung . ."
"_I'm here Carrots . . I'm here"
He's about to carry me out when more men emerged and we're engaged in a bloody shooting war where I laid on the ground as I tried to not die from the pain.
