LOVE U

"It was a tattoo for my wife" he spoke, briefly closing his eyes indicating that he wished to not speak any further, "but less of me, Jungkook said that the kidnapper spoke to you?" he asked.

"Oh yes, he did but it was nothing" Jinhee lied, looking right into Mr Park's eyes, who didn't seem to be convinced, "trust me" was all she said.

"Well, if that's the case, I will head off and the next time you will see me, I will have Junghwa with me" the chair dragged across the floor as he bid a farewell and left the room.

Facing Mr Choi, all negative thoughts rushed out of my head, "Appa, can I borrow the pager please for today?"Jinhee asked, "I might need more backup later on, please don't ask any questions." she saw him giving her a doubtful look.

"Fine, but stay safe, just know I trust you" he informed as he grabbed my pager from his drawer, "and don't worry, I'll write the statement of why you needed it."

Screaming a 'thank you' along with a hug, Jinhee spent a few moments talking to Mr Choi about the past few days before she looked at the time that read 10 AM - they really do say that time flies by when you don't want it to, with that she left his office and texted Inseong to send her photos of the file and put it back when appropriate.

-

"Where the hell were you?" was the first thing she heard as she stepped a foot back into the house.

"Jungkook, I don't think I need to inform you of every single detail" Jinhee murmured, not wanting his words from last night to affect her.

"I think you do, seeming as there are already photos circulating of you walking down the streets, named as 'the girl dating BTS's Jungkook'" he shoved his phone in my face, shock was a understatement, never had she thought leaving the house at 5 AM would cause such a stir. 

"I-" speechless at the act, Jinhee shifted her focus, "I went to meet Mr Park, he has found a lead and is heading there this afternoon" Jungkook was taken back by her sudden mention of Mr Park, "Yes, I am going but you or any in fact any of you are not going."

Jungkook mouth parted open to say something before it closed again as Jin took the opportunity to speak, "Jinhee, ignore him and you do your thing, I promise he won't come" Jin invaded letting Jinhee to leave an plan for her next moves. 

This was it, years of training and months of chase - everything would finish today with either her end or his but either way her priority was to get Junghwa got back home safely. Packing every necessity into her pockets including her pager, a small foldable blade knife at the back of her cargo pants that were paired along with a white cami and a jacket - that was not bulletproof.

6 hours to go.

Impatiently waiting for the text, Jinhee looked through the file and her mind kept thinking back to high altitudes linking it with what Mr Park said but knowing there had to be something else she is missing, she remembered Inseong's words before Mr Choi knocked.

-

Jinhee had no idea why Inseong called her to meet up at the hospital instead of just telling her on text but she knew he sure had a reason, "so will you tell me?" Jinhee asked.

"Your father, he is in this hospital and he may or may not have some answers to your questions" Inseong spoke, "regarding Junghwa's kidnapper" he elaborated before you would burst out.

Exhaling several sighs, Jinhee tried to calm her racing heart, "who is he?" she asked in a low voice, but instead she saw Inseong getting up and asking her to follow him until he reached a certain room.

Room 320

'You can do this' Jinhee reminded herself.

"Remember you don't need to tell him that you are his daughter, but trust me, I really think you deserve to know who is your biological parents" Inseong reminded her.

Sweat dripped down her forehead, hands clammy as they hugged the door handle, never had she thought that this might be the way she meets her parents. Excerting all the force on to the door handle she managed to open the door ajar before the door swung open from the other side.

"Jinhee?" a deep voice mentioned her name, "what are you doing here?" 

Looking wide-eyed at the man in front of her, she was at loss of words, she didn't know what to say and how to say it but he looked at her expectantly, "I- I think I came to the wrong room" she spoke as she walked off. 

"Wait!" he ran after her but before he could utter a word, Jinhee bolted off.

Little did they both know, that the female overheard their conversation, 'Jinhee? what is she doing here? did she find out?' negative thought trailed along her mind but she gave herself false hope.

"I can't do this, I just can't" Jinhee panted as she ran towards Inseong, "I can't" she broke down.

"Jinhee, why?" Inseong asked.

"I'd rather die not knowing about them, that way I can carry on hating them without having dual thoughts, just not for today" she said as she exited the building, leaving Inseong in fear.

-

'There was no way she would actually die' Inseong thought, hitting himself on the head, he scolded himself yet those thought didn't leave his mind for the next few hours as he sat at the cafe, texting Jinhee every so often until her last message came through.

Jinhee:
I'm going now, love u xx

His heart had seemed to stop beating at that point, she'd never texted him with a 'love u' unless he said so first. Sweats dripped down his forehead, never had he been this scared, it wasn't until a voice broke his trail of thought, "You are Jinhee's friend right, from the cafe" he spoke but Inseong couldn't speak, his words didn't formulate.

'I trust you Jinhee but I know you better than anyone else but I hope you will forgive me'

"Save Jinhee please, she's going to meet the kidnapper but unarmed" Inseong spoke as his voice shaked, he knew well from the morning that he should've stopped her but everything was so rushed, "he will kill her."

"What!" A female voice resonated in the cafe.
