My Only Sunshine

Chapter 23

Trigger warning: themes and suggestions of violence towards children but no explicit acts described in detail.

"You wait here. I'll go get her." Jaehyun stated, jumping out of the vehicle. Taeyong nodded as the bodyguard followed Jaehyun.

He sighed, looking down at his phone, trying another password. He'd been trying to get into Johnny's apple account since last night.

Jaehyun sighed, stopping at the meeting point for the parents. Why couldn't Johnny have just made the password simple to guess like his birthday? This is so frustrating.

"Jaehyun, was it?" A woman's voice asked

"Hm?" He didn't look up from the phone, failing another login attempt. "Autograph?" He pulled a pen from his pocket, looking up at the women that surrounded him.

Oh right, he was picking Dani up from school.

"Sorry, force of habit." He put the pen back into his pocket

"We heard about Dani's father and just wanted to reach out and—" the bell rang and Jaehyun gave them a nod.

"Thanks." He smiled as the door opened. The teacher began letting each child run to their parents, one by one. Jaehyun waited for the last of the children before stepping up to the teacher. 

"Hi I'm Jaehyun, here to pick up Dani, the police called earlier to…" Jaehyun trailed off looking into the empty classroom. "Where's my daughter?" He demanded, shoving the phone into the bodyguards hands so he could continue guessing the password. Jaehyun shoved his way into the classroom, looking around for Dani's pretty blonde curls and bright smile. There was nobody else in the classroom.

"The officer came by earlier to pick Danica up, he said that they already talked to you—" Jaehyun grabbed the Teacher by her arm, a sudden rage overwhelming him.

"What did he look like?" He demanded. She was startled, stammering like a fool at Jaehyun's sudden outburst. "What the fuck did he look like!?" He shouted

"Uhh.. a-about.. your height, sandy blonde hair, pretty thin, wearing a police uniform—"

"That wasn't the fucking police." Jaehyun growled, releasing the woman.

"I got it." The bodyguard drew his attention to the phone. "The password was just 123456"

A lot of fucking good a bodyguard was.

Jaehyun grabbed the phone, looking at the map and taking a screenshot before sending it to the manager and dialing him, going back to the car, leaving the idiot of a bodyguard behind with a dumbfounded look.

"Call the detective." Jaehyun said, as soon as the manager answered. "He fucking walked right into her school and took her, wearing a fucking police uniform. I swear to fucking God I'm going to kill this fucker." 

"Jaehyun calm down—"

"I sent you the address from Johnny's iPhone GPS. Tell the cops to get there soon or they'll be hauling a corpse out of there." He growled and hung up.

"Where's Dani?" Taeyong asked

"Go back to the dorm and wait there in case anyone tries to contact us or she comes home." Jaehyun stated and looked at the map. It wasn't far, only a few blocks, down by the river.

"Okay but…"

"Just go back to the dorm." Jaehyun huffed and broke into a run. Calling a taxi would take too long, there was too much traffic after school.

So Jaehyun ran, as fast as his legs could carry him and faster, cursing at the cold wind biting his cheeks.

Faster. Get there Faster.

His lungs burned, and legs ached but he pushed past it. Dani was the only thing he cared about at this moment. Fuck, he shouldn't have listened to the manager, should have kept her home from school. If this man hurt her at all he wouldn't hesitate to put an end to this sick fuck's life.

A large fenced in warehouse came into view and he heard screaming. Dani's screams, calling for help, calling for her dad.

"Dani!" Jaehyun called back. He spotted the man, pulling Dani out of a car. "Dani!" Jaehyun yelled. Dani bit the man's hand, punched him below the belt and ran towards him, grabbing onto strong steel bars of the fence.

Good girl. She's a fighter.

"Dani!" Jaehyun felt tears welling up in his eyes as finally approached the fence, looking around for a gate. The only one he saw was secured with thick metal chains and padlocks.

"Dani, it's okay. I'm here. Daddy's here, Princess. I won't let him hurt you." He reached between the fence bars, grabbing her as if he could pull her right through the fence.

"I wanted to help Daddy" She cried

"I know. I know." Jaehyun tried to calm her. She was grabbed by the man and Jaehyun grabbed a hold of her hands.

No! Don't take her.

"Stop!" Jaehyun cried out. "Please! Please, stop." He sobbed. He was so close, so close to bringing her and Johnny home.

She kicked and punched, trying to bite the man but he easily tore her from Jaehyun, her small, delicate fingers slipping from his grasp.

"Let her go! Let her go or I'll fucking rip out your throat you sick motherfucker!" He shouted, tugging on the fence, as though he could just tear it open. His entire world shattered as he dragged her to the building and disappeared inside.
