CHAPTER 1: The First Encounter

1

The clock was ticking inside the training room where Minjun’s son, Sunghoon, was being trained before his eyes. Minjun, a heartless mobster in a small village, was feared by everyone for his dangerous nature.

Sunghoon was already bruised, bloody, and drenched in sweat, yet his training continued. They were not finished punishing his already weakened body with the relentless punches and kicks from his father's assistant and Minjun himself.

Minjun laughed derisively at his son, muttering, "You’re fucking weak; you can’t even handle this."

Sunghoon's nightmare began when he was 12, following his mother's death. His father's behavior had changed drastically—he drowned himself in alcohol and drugs and started beating his son mercilessly.

This was Sunghoon's daily life.

After the grueling session, or perhaps torture, he returned to his room. He cleaned his wounds, took a bath, and got ready for his first day of classes.

Sunghoon was forced to take business classes. He didn't protest because nothing interested him anymore.

2

Upon entering the university, murmurs began. The son of Minjun was here. Everyone stared, not just because he was the son of the most dangerous man in the village, but because of his appearance—bruised face and split lip.

Despite his battered appearance, Sunghoon was an attractive guy, and many wanted to date him. However, he rejected every brave girl's confession, including that of the popular girl, Yura.

In the midst of the whispers, a new girl entered, unaware of everything. She looked around, confused as to why everyone was making way for this one guy. Who is he? Why is he so special? These questions lingered in her mind until the bell rang, breaking her thoughts.

As the bell rang, students rushed to their classes, not wanting to be late on the first day.

Y/n, the new girl, looked around, unfamiliar with the university. She needed to ask someone for directions. Should I ask that special guy? she wondered.

She was about to approach him when another guy tapped her shoulder. “Do you need anything?” she asked. He shook his head in response. “Then why did you tap my shoulder if you don’t need anything?” Y/n retorted, annoyed. When she looked back, the special guy was gone. “Great, now I’m late to class, thanks to you, mister,” Y/n said, exasperated.

Sunghoon walked to his class and took his seat in the last row, avoiding any interaction. He put his head down on his desk and chuckled at the scene he witnessed in the hallway.

3

“Will you stop following me?” Y/n asked the same guy who had tapped her shoulder earlier.

“I’m not following you; we’re in the same class, business class. And don’t even think about talking to that guy if you don’t want trouble, miss,” the guy responded.

“Can you not call me miss? I’m not that old,” she retorted.

“You called me mister, and I didn’t say anything,” he argued back, making Y/n stomp her feet as he chuckled.

“I’m Jake. Now stop stomping your foot like a madman, and I'll tell you who that guy is,” Jake said.

Y/n glared at Jake, annoyed.

They entered the class just in time, but the only available seat was in the last row, next to Sunghoon. The murmurs started again, making Y/n roll her eyes.

“Remember, don’t talk to him,” Jake whispered, loud enough for her to hear. Jake led Y/n to the last row.

“You saved a seat for us? Sweet,” Jake said, greeting Sunghoon. “I can’t talk to him, but you can?” Y/n retorted. “Let me at least sit beside Mr. Special Guy,” Y/n whispered loud enough for Jake and Sunghoon to hear. “No,” Jake said, earning an annoyed groan from Y/n. “It’s fine,” Sunghoon said quietly, surprising everyone and making Y/n smile.

The class started five minutes later, and everyone became busy.

4

“Why is everyone looking at you?” Y/n asked Sunghoon as they walked to the convenience store to buy lunch.

“They’re not staring at Sunghoon; they’re staring at you, the first girl he’s ever been seen with,” Jake said, pulling her away from Sunghoon.

“So that makes me special then,” Y/n said, moving back beside Sunghoon and grabbing his arm, making both Sunghoon and Jake widen their eyes.

“Yeah, you’re also the first girl his father will put in the torture room if you don’t let go of his arm right now,” Jake said, pulling her away again.

“What?” Y/n asked.

As they entered the convenience store, the murmurs started again. “Hey, Ma,” Y/n greeted her mom at the register. “I brought some friends,” she added. Her mother bowed as soon as she saw Sunghoon enter the store. “Why are you bowing? They’re my friends,” Y/n said, shocked at her mom’s behavior. “Don’t make eye contact,” her mom whispered loud enough for her to hear.

“Oh, come on,” Y/n said, clinging to Sunghoon's arm again, causing him to widen his eyes once more. Her mom was shocked too, grabbing her daughter and apologizing to Sunghoon. “Ma, he’s my friend,” Y/n insisted, earning a smack from her mom as Sunghoon chuckled. “It’s fine, it’s her first day,” Sunghoon said.

5

After lunch, Jake and Y/n didn’t have classes with Sunghoon. “What do you mean by torture room?” Y/n asked Jake, who was busy copying the lecture.

Jake looked at her and asked, “When did you arrive?”

Y/n looked confused. “What do you mean?” she asked.

“When did you arrive here? In this place, the city, village, or town—whatever you want to call it?” Jake repeated.

“A week ago,” Y/n responded. “Your mom didn’t tell you about the Parks?” Jake asked. Seeing her confused expression, he continued, “She just told me to be careful at night, and that’s it,” Y/n said.

“I’ll explain everything later, after class. I’ll take you home, because there’s no way no one saw you clinging to Sunghoon like that.” 

“Does he have a girlfriend?” Y/n asked.

“No, it’s not that. It’s a long story,” Jake said. “I’ll tell you everything later.”

6

After their classes, Y/n didn’t see Sunghoon again until school was over. She saw him walking to his motorcycle, hoping he would see her, and he did. They made brief eye contact; she waved goodbye, and he nodded, mouthing "see you," which made her smile.

She kept waiting for Jake until she saw him exit the school. “What took you so long?” she asked.

“I was looking for Sunghoon, but I guess he left already. I was going to give him a ride,” Jake responded.

“Yeah, he just left. I saw him. I waved goodbye, and he mouthed ‘see you.’ He was riding a cool motorcycle,” Y/n told Jake.

“He must’ve gotten his motorcycle fixed. And he mouthed ‘see you’? He’s never done that. You’re really special,” Jake said, earning a giggle from Y/n before they got into his car.

“You have a nice car too,” Y/n complimented Jake.

“Thanks,” Jake responded, starting the car.

“So who is Sunghoon?” Y/n asked.

“Sunghoon is the son of the most notorious man in the village—actually, the whole country. I’m surprised you don’t know him. Mr. Park has an assistant, Tristan. He’s tall, but not as tall as Sunghoon. If Tristan tries to mess with you, Sunghoon will beat him up like a pulp,” Jake explained.

“Beat him up like a pulp? What does that even mean?” Y/n asked, chuckling.

“It means if someone tries to touch you, he’ll kill them. Like me—if I try hitting on you, he’ll end me, even though I’m his friend. What’s his is his, and whoever messes with what’s his is dead, just like his father. His father owns him. If Tristan can’t get to you, his father will. So don’t cling to him like that in public. He’s not even allowed to have emotions, yet here you are, making him go crazy,” Jake responded.

“So I’m his?” Y/n asked again.

“Yeah, and congratulations on winning the heart of the mobster’s son,” Jake said, making Y/n laugh.

“Well, we’re here. Take care,” Jake said.

“Thank you. I would appreciate it if you picked me up tomorrow morning,” Y/n joked.

“Yeah, wear jeans tomorrow,” Jake said before waving goodbye.

CHAPTER 2: Morning clashes and new bonds

1

The next morning, Y/n woke up earlier than usual, unable to fall back asleep after a particularly vivid nightmare. 

"I should start buying sleeping pills again," she mumbled to herself as she headed into the bathroom for a bath. Y/n had been suffering from insomnia due to stress ever since she lost her father a few months ago. Since then, restful sleep had eluded her, replaced by relentless nightmares.

Meanwhile, in Jake’s household, his parents were engaged in yet another heated argument about his friendship with Sunghoon. Jake's father was supportive, but his mother viewed Sunghoon as a monster.

"You know it’s your fault they’re fighting," his sister Yura said, entering his room.

"Shut up. Mom will lose her mind if she finds out you go crazy over him. We're in the same boat here, only I can get close to him, and you can't," Jake retorted, smirking. Yura stomped her feet in frustration and left his room.

As Jake emerged from his room, his parents' argument grew louder.

"Did you forget that Sunghoon almost killed a student last year?" his mother shouted.

"Oh, come on, the guy was fine," his father argued back.

"He spent two months recovering from being beaten to a pulp by Sunghoon!" his mother yelled.

"I’m leaving!" Jake shouted, not wanting to hear more of their morning disputes.

2

When Y/n came downstairs for breakfast, the house was already empty. "Mom must’ve left early to open the store," she mumbled to herself, seeing lunch money on the table along with a note: *Sorry, had to leave early. Here’s lunch money. Please avoid Sunghoon if you don’t want trouble.*

Y/n sighed at the last sentence. "Sunghoon isn’t that bad of a person," she mumbled, grabbing a strawberry milk from the fridge as she lacked the appetite to eat.

After locking the door, Y/n turned around to see an unexpected visitor.

"Hey, Jake sent me," Sunghoon said with a broad grin.

Y/n smiled widely. "No wonder he told me to wear jeans."

"Yeah, he mentioned how much you liked my motorcycle," Sunghoon replied, grinning.

"That little snitch," Y/n said.

"You’re smaller than him," Sunghoon teased, earning a playful smack from Y/n as he handed her a helmet he had bought the previous day.

Y/n put on the helmet and hopped on the motorcycle. "Hold tight," Sunghoon said, starting the engine. Y/n yelped and held on tightly as they sped off.

3

When they arrived at school, students started whispering as Y/n hopped off the motorcycle. She received glares from several girls, especially Yura, the popular girl.

"They’ll never mind their own business, will they?" Y/n said loudly enough for everyone to hear. The students quickly looked away, avoiding Sunghoon’s gaze. Jake was right: whatever's his is his, and whoever tries to mess with what's his is dead, she thought.

At their lockers, Jake was already waiting, grinning. "You’re early," Sunghoon said, grabbing his books.

"Yeah," Jake replied.

"You know you don’t have to be friends with me if your parents keep fighting about it," Sunghoon said.

"It’s fine. Not your fault," Jake replied.

"We don’t have any classes together today," Y/n said, comparing her schedule with Sunghoon’s.

"Nope, I only have special classes today," Sunghoon replied.

"Good luck handling my sister. She woke up on the wrong side of the bed today," Jake said.

"Ugh, I don’t like her," Sunghoon muttered.

"Who is she?" Y/n asked.

"I’m his sister," came a voice from behind her.

"I’m Yura, the popular girl," Yura said, extending her hand for a handshake.

"I’m Y/n," Y/n replied, ignoring the hand.

"Did you not hear me?" Yura asked.

"I did," Y/n replied.

"And yet you ignore my hand for a handshake?" Yura pressed.

"Do you see any bats flying around the school?" Y/n asked.

"No," Yura replied, confused.

"That’s the amount of fucks I give about you offering a handshake," Y/n said, earning gasps from the students and Yura.

"Hey, that was savage. Tiny one, let’s get to class before we’re late," Jake said, dragging her and Sunghoon away.

"Damn, you’re the first person to ever talk to her like that. I should bring you to dinner with my family so you can tell my mom the same thing," Jake said, laughing.

"I’m not telling your mom that," Y/n said.

"Why not?" Sunghoon asked.

"Because she’s his mom and older than me," Y/n replied. "And my mom would kill me."

"Well, tonight at dinner, I’m going to tell our parents how you shut her down," Jake said, grinning.

 4

At lunch, they decided to eat at the convenience store again. When they arrived, Y/n’s mom smacked her, earning a chuckle from Sunghoon and surprising everyone in the store.

No one had ever seen Sunghoon smile, not even a small one. He had been told to suppress his emotions ever since his father started his dirty business. Smiling, laughing, crying, or getting mad were all forbidden.

"See, I’m funny," Y/n told her mom as she saw Sunghoon chuckling.

"Please let me apologize for my daughter’s behavior. She’s always been stubborn," Y/n’s mom said.

"No, it’s fine," Sunghoon replied, giving her a small smile, shocking everyone again.

After lunch, they headed back to class. Y/n rolled her eyes as Yura entered the room. "We have the same class as her," Y/n said to Jake.

"Yeah, and you can just shut her down again," Jake said, grinning.

"We meet again," Yura said, sitting beside Y/n. Jake was loving it.

"What a coincidence. You're not stalking me, are you?" Y/n retorted.

"Why would I stalk you? Who are you?" Yura replied.

Y/n turned to Jake and said, "You didn’t tell me your sister has a bad memory," earning gasps from everyone again. Jake tried to control his laughter but failed when he saw his sister stomp away in annoyance.

"I hope you don’t mind me bad-mouthing your sister," Y/n said.

"Not at all. I’m enjoying it," Jake replied, grinning widely.

CHAPTER 3: HIS NIGHTMARE

1

Sunghoon's nightmare had always been his father discovering that he was hanging out with someone, especially girls. His father constantly warned him that having girlfriends would be a distraction, which is why Sunghoon never had one.

Sunghoon and Jake met during high school and had been hanging out behind his father's back ever since. Although his father didn't mind him spending time with Jake because he was a guy, what he would mind was Sunghoon not suppressing his emotions.

When Sunghoon arrived home from university, his father was already at the dinner table.

"You're later than usual," his father remarked, taking a sip of his wine.

Sunghoon sat down at the dinner table and replied, "Sorry, got caught up in traffic." He was served dinner as soon as he sat down.

His father gestured for the maids to leave the dining area. "You know I hate it when people lie to my face, son," his father said, looking directly at him.

Sunghoon sighed and continued eating, uninterested in conversing with his father.

His father smirked at his son's behavior. "Y/n," he said, making Sunghoon look up. "Yes, that's how we get your attention," his father said. "Stop hanging out with her, or next time, you'll find her dead body in your room. Finish your dinner and go to the training room," his father added before leaving for his office.

2

The next day, Sunghoon didn't go to class, making Y/n worried.

"Do you think Sunghoon's alright?" Y/n asked Jake as they sat in front of her mom's convenience store.

"No, his father found out about you, and he's doing everything he can to protect you from getting into trouble," Jake responded, eating the ramen he had bought.

"But he's not hurt, right?" Y/n asked anxiously.

"I have no idea. His father probably trained him all night, and he's just tired. Don't worry; he'll be here tomorrow," Jake said, trying to ease Y/n's mind.

After their lunch, Y/n couldn't stop worrying about Sunghoon and couldn't focus in class.

"I know you're worried, but if you keep zoning out, you'll miss the announcement about the ball next month," Jake said, breaking her thoughts.

"What?" Y/n asked, surprised.

"See, you missed it," Jake said, chuckling. "There's a ball next month."

"Oh, I've never been to one," Y/n responded with a small smile.

"Well, that sucks," Jake said, earning a playful smack from Y/n.

3

The next day, Sunghoon still didn't come to class, making Jake worried too, as he wasn't answering any phone calls or texts.

During lunch, Y/n, Jake, and surprisingly Yura sat together in the cafeteria.

"I haven't seen Sunghoon since yesterday," Yura said while eating her sandwich.

"Do you think we have?" Y/n retorted, rolling her eyes.

"Don't start a fight, you two. Let's talk about the ball. I'll try calling him again later," Jake said.

Yura smiled, putting down her sandwich. "So, you've never been to a ball?" Yura asked Y/n.

"Nope, too poor to afford that," Y/n responded.

"Your mom owns a convenience store," Yura stated.

"Yeah, and my dad was sick during the time there was a senior and junior prom, so I couldn't attend," Y/n explained.

"Was? So he's fine now?" Jake asked.

"No, I came here to live with my mom because he passed away a few months ago," Y/n said, looking down at her strawberry milk.

"Sorry," Jake apologized.

"It's fine, don't worry about it," Y/n said, smiling. Jake then earned a smack from Yura, making Y/n laugh.

"What the hell!?" Jake exclaimed, trying to smack his sister back, only to receive another smack from Y/n.

"You're not allowed to hit your sister," Y/n said firmly.

"Are you seriously taking her side?" Jake asked, wide-eyed.

"Yes, and we're here to talk about the ball," Y/n said before turning to Yura. "So, what do we wear for that occasion?"

"Brother, move aside. We have to discuss this," Yura said, pushing her brother away from Y/n and sitting beside her.

"Traitors," Jake muttered with wide eyes as he munched on his sandwich.

4

Two weeks passed, and Sunghoon still hadn't returned to the university.

Yura and Y/n had grown close, while Jake became the third wheel to their friendship.

"We haven't heard from Sunghoon in the last two weeks," Yura said as she sat down beside Y/n.

"No, and he hasn't answered any calls or read any of Jake's messages," Y/n replied.

"Don't worry, he's fine," Jake said, trying to reassure Y/n again.

"The ball is in two weeks, and since it's Friday and we got off early today, how about a little shopping? I'll ask your mom for permission," Yura said, grinning widely.

"Good luck getting my mom to agree to let me go shopping," Y/n said skeptically.

"I know you're worried about your loverboy, but trust me, he'll be there at the ball," Yura assured Y/n.

5

"I can't believe you made my mom say yes," Y/n said as they walked through the mall, looking for makeup.

"You know I'm good at it," Yura said confidently.

"Yura, you already have a lot of makeup," Jake said, trailing behind them like a bodyguard.

"Not for me, for Y/n. She needs to look pretty at the ball because that loverboy won't miss it," Yura said, grinning at Y/n before pulling her into Sephora.

"I don't know how to use this stuff," Y/n said, trying to break free from Yura's grip.

"I'll put it on you," Yura said, smiling.

Jake just laughed at the two of them, amazed at how well they got along. Just then, his phone started ringing.

"Sunghoon, where the hell are you?" Jake asked as soon as he answered the call.

"Sorry, got busy," Sunghoon replied with a raspy voice.

"Are you alright?" Jake asked.

"Yeah. When's the ball?" Sunghoon responded.

"You know about it? Damn, Yura was right. It's in two weeks," Jake answered.

"Okay, I'll be there," Sunghoon said.

"Do you want Y/n's number?" Jake offered.

"No, I better not have it. I'm hanging up now. Tell Y/n I miss her and not to worry about me," Sunghoon said before ending the call.

"Who were you talking to?" Yura asked, startling Jake.

"Jesus, you scared me," Jake said, holding his chest.

"So, who was it?" Y/n asked eagerly.

"Sunghoon. He said he misses you and you shouldn't worry. Come on, let's get something to eat; I'm starving," Jake said, pulling the two along, while Y/n kept asking about Sunghoon.

CHAPTER 4: THE BALL

1

“You don’t look excited for the ball,” Yura remarked, examining a selection of ball gowns on sale in the store.

Yura had decided to take Y/n out to buy their outfits for the ball, which was only a week away. However, Y/n’s mind had been preoccupied with thoughts of Sunghoon ever since the night he called Jake. They hadn't heard from him since.

“Earth to Y/n!” Yura exclaimed, waving a hand in front of Y/n’s face.

“What?” Y/n asked, snapping out of her reverie.

“How about this dress? Isn’t it gorgeous?” Yura asked, grinning as she held up a stunning red gown.

“It looks nice, but isn’t it too revealing?” Y/n responded, hesitating.

“Oh, come on! You’re grown up now, and Sunghoon will probably go crazy when he sees you in this,” Yura stated with excitement.

“I’m not really into red. I prefer brown, dark green, or maybe pastel colors,” Y/n said, glancing at the other dresses.

“Alright, I’ll take this one for myself. Let’s find something in brown or green for you. Not pastel, though—you don’t want to wear something like that to a ball,” Yura said, leading Y/n to the other side of the store.

“You know, ever since I met Jake and Sunghoon, my life has changed,” Y/n mused, looking at the dresses Yura had picked out for her.

“How so?” Yura asked.

“I didn’t have any friends to spend time with back at my old school. Everyone there was only focused on their grades. It was a very weird place,” Y/n said, admiring an emerald green dress Yura handed her.

“You like that one,” Yura said, grinning.

“Yeah, I’ll try this on,” Y/n responded, smiling.

“You know, Sunghoon was a happy kid until he lost his mom. After that, he started coming to school with bruises and wounds on his face,” Yura said as Y/n changed into the dress.

Y/n stepped out of the dressing room, leaving Yura in awe. “Girl, I didn’t know you had such nice curves. Damn, I’m jealous!” Yura exclaimed, making Y/n laugh.

“Thanks. Jake never mentioned it,” Y/n said before returning to the dressing room to change back.

“Well, Sunghoon doesn’t like it when Jake talks about it, so maybe that’s why,” Yura explained.

Yura and Y/n both paid for their dresses.

“Thank you for taking me dress shopping,” Y/n said as she stepped out of Yura’s car.

“No worries, and I’ll do your makeup. So, the night before the ball, I’ll sleep over at your place,” Yura said, grinning.

“Or I could stay at yours,” Y/n joked.

“I’d love that, but my parents don’t like visitors. Besides, your mom has been asking for a sleepover here,” Yura told her.

“She loves you more than she loves me,” Y/n said, laughing before waving goodbye to Yura.

2

The next day, rumors about Sunghoon’s absence spread throughout the school, coinciding with the buzz about the upcoming ball.

“Has Sunghoon texted you?” Yura asked her brother, who was looking at his phone.

“No, but he’s seen my texts,” Jake replied.

“I’m sorry,” Y/n suddenly said, catching the siblings’ attention.

“What are you sorry for?” Jake asked.

“Maybe it’s because of me that he’s been absent and hasn’t attended any classes,” Y/n said, looking down, trying not to cry.

“It’s not your fault, and who told you it’s you?” Yura responded, looking at her.

“Everyone’s talking about it. They’re saying that ever since I started hanging out with Sunghoon, he’s been in trouble with his father. Maybe they’re right,” Y/n said, finally letting her tears fall.

Jake hugged her, trying to comfort her. “Stop crying. Sunghoon is fine,” Jake said.

“He’s not okay. He’s been absent for three weeks now,” Y/n said, her voice rising slightly as she stood up and walked away.

“What should we do about her?” Yura asked.

“I don’t know, but I know Sunghoon will be mad once he finds out,” Jake responded.

3

Time dragged on inside the training room, where Sunghoon’s father had been putting him through grueling training sessions for three weeks straight.

Sunghoon spat blood after receiving a harsh kick to his stomach.

“You don’t talk back to me, Sunghoon,” Mr. Park said, kicking him again in the stomach, making him wince in pain.

Sunghoon tried to stand but couldn’t, due to the relentless kicks from his father.

“Man up, Sunghoon!” his father yelled, delivering another kick.

“Park, I think that’s enough. You’re going to kill him,” Tristan said, entering the training room.

“Fine,” Mr. Park said, giving one last kick before leaving the room with Tristan.

Sunghoon struggled to stand up. “They might as well just kill me,” he mumbled, spitting more blood on the floor before finally managing to stand.

He collapsed onto his bed, grabbing his phone and seeing another text from Jake: “They’re talking about your absence now and blaming it on Y/n.” Reading the message, his blood started to boil. “It’s not her fault,” he muttered before passing out from exhaustion.

4

The day of the ball arrived. Yura had been applying makeup to Y/n’s face for the past 30 minutes.

“Does it really take this long to put on makeup?” Y/n asked, chuckling.

“Yeah,” Yura replied with a chuckle of her own.

“When will you finish?” Y/n asked, still smiling.

“Soon,” Yura said.

After Yura finished Y/n’s makeup, she started fixing her hair.

“Do you think Sunghoon will really come?” Y/n asked.

“Of course. He’s not going to miss seeing you,” Yura said, grinning.

“What if he doesn’t come?” Y/n asked.

“He will. Trust me,” Yura reassured her.

“Kids, Jake is here!” Y/n’s mom yelled, making the two girls laugh.

Yura and Y/n carefully descended the stairs, trying not to trip, as Jake looked at them, mesmerized.

“Damn, who are you?” Jake said, making Y/n’s mom laugh.

“Shut up,” Y/n responded, rolling her eyes.

“Come on, let’s go. We’ll be late,” Yura said excitedly.

“Jake, take care of my daughter,” Y/n’s mom said, waving them off.

5

Y/n, Jake, and Yura arrived at the ball. Everyone was dressed beautifully, and Yura had been right—no one was wearing pastel colors.

Y/n scanned the crowd, searching for a specific person, but he wasn’t there. She looked down, trying not to cry. He’s okay, right?

“I really thought he’d show up,” Yura whispered to Y/n.

“It’s fine,” Y/n said, trying to sound convincing.

As the night wore on, there was still no sign of Sunghoon. Y/n began to lose hope of seeing him.

“I’m going to get some fresh air,” Y/n said, leaving the venue.

Outside, Y/n stared at the stars, finding some solace in their beauty.

“It’s cold,” someone said from behind her, placing a coat over her shoulders.

She turned around and finally saw the person she had been longing to see.

“Sunghoon,” Y/n whispered.

“I’m sorry I’m late,” Sunghoon said, looking into her eyes.

“You’re just on time,” Y/n said before hugging him tightly.

Sunghoon hugged her back, holding her close. “I’m so thankful I met you. We’ve spent so little time together, but I’m grateful for every moment,” Sunghoon said before breaking the hug. He took off his necklace and placed it around Y/n’s neck.

Sunghoon pressed his forehead against hers, holding her cheeks with his shaky hands, and kissed her. Their lips moved in sync as Sunghoon pulled her closer, tears streaming down his cheeks.

He pulled away from the kiss. “I’m sorry. Please keep my necklace for now,” he said, stepping back.

He turned to leave, but Y/n grabbed him in a back hug. “Where are you going?” Y/n asked, her voice trembling.

“Away, to protect you,” Sunghoon said, attempting to remove her arms from his waist, but she held on tighter.

“Please don’t go,” Y/n cried.

“I’m sorry,” Sunghoon said, gently but firmly removing her arms and walking away as Y/n continued to beg him to stay.

Jake approached Y/n as she collapsed to the ground, sobbing. He hugged her, having witnessed the entire scene. He knew Sunghoon was leaving but hadn’t expected him to show up for Y/n.

“What happened?” Yura asked, running over upon seeing the scene.

“And that’s the last time I saw him,” Y/n said, looking at Jungwon, Jay, Yura, and Jake.

“Do you miss him?” Jay asked.

“You’re acting weird” jake said as you guys walked back to your dorm “are you mad? did i do something?” jaeyun asked as you puffed “what do you think jake?” you said looking for your keys in your bag “jake?! you never call me jake unless you’re upset” he said looking at you confused getting upset that you’re not telling him “well i am!” you said getting annoyed “then tell me ! i honestly don’t know why you are, im not a mind reader” he said responding with the same tone, walking into your apartment he follows behind you taking of his shoes. “Jake you literally left me at the table for a good 10 minutes to talk to god knows who” you said giving him the glare “are you serious right now?” jake said looking back at you “y/n shes a friend i don’t have to tell you everything! you need to stop wanting to know everyone i talk to” he said still standing by the door way, “i didn’t even say it like that jake! okay shes a friend, you could have told me ! thats the thing im annoyed about why do you always wanna keep things from me! you never tell me about your past relationships” you say feeling frustrated having the urge to cry, but you suck it up “because they’re not important stop getting all up in my business y/n, you’re being so fucking annoying right now” he says running his hand through his hair “we’ve been dating for almost two years now i have never tried to get all up in your business” you say mocking him “i always gave you your space! i never forced you to tell me anything and to say i’m being annoying?!” you say with your hand on your chest pointing to yourself “fine im annoying, you can go then, im done having this conversation” You say pushing him out the door way as he grabbed his shoes slamming the door behind him. “fuck!” you hear him cuss from the other side of the door “y/n?” your best friend isa says opening her door stepping out of her room as you turn to face her “you okay?” she asked as you shake your head with tears in your eyes “come here” isa says opening her arms for you.

You woke up next to isa, staring at the ceiling for a couple of minutes, “should i go to jaeyun’s game? does he want me to go?“ you thought to yourself as you sighed getting up slowly trying not to wake isa up. You head to get your phone from the living room where you left it last night, you unlock it to see no text from jaeyun which made you feel worse since after every argument you guys would have he would always say “good night, i love you” but not this time.

You woke up next to isa, staring at the ceiling for a couple of minutes, “should i go to jaeyun’s game? does he want me to go?“ you thought to yourself as you sighed getting up slowly trying not to wake isa up. You head to get your phone from the living room where you left it last night, you unlock it to see no text from jaeyun which made you feel worse since after every argument you guys would have he would always say “good night, i love you” but not this time.

You locked your phone you decided to wash up and make breakfast. “morning” isa said rubbing her eyes sitting in front of you at the table, “what are you doing today” you asked her as she shrugged “im not sure yet, ryujin still wants to go see the game but i told her i wasn’t sure if you were gonna go” she said looking at you questionably “im not sure isa, he hasn’t texted me all morning,i don’t know if he still wants to see me” you said poking at your food “i didn’t mean to get all upset at him”, getting up you decide to get ready and change for the day. A ding was heard from your phone making your stomach flip, quickly running to it to see if it was jaeyun

riki🐥: goodmorning ! what did you go to jake? hes so grouchy and sad :/ he’s ruining my mood 🙄

you: morning riki ! we kinda had an argument last night ://

riki🐥: figured, well you better be coming to the game ! you have to~

you: still debating on it ! but i’ll let you know:)

Locking your phone and tossing it to the side you decide to watch a movie with isa. You watched about two movies until it was six in the afternoon an hour before the game “y/n, lets go to the game” isa said asking you for the third time “you’ll regret it if you don’t go” she said as much as you didn’t want to believe her you knew that you were gonna regret it, you have never missed any of jaeyun’s games. You sighed “fine, but you cant leave me to hang out with jooung” isa laughed “i promise i wont” she said sticking out her pinky. You quickly run to your room and put on jaeyun’s jersey, making your way with isa to the park the game was at, you walked onto the bleachers taking a seat next to ryujin

jaeyun<3 : im sorry y/n

jaeyun<3 : i didn’t mean to yell so loudly at you and say that to you.. i had too much wine that night

jaeyun<3 : and i know it’s not an excuse, im sorry baby i love you

y/n<3 : im sorry too, let’s talk after your game :((

y/n<3 : i love you<3 im here cheering for you always !

Jaeyun<3 : babe i was so worried you weren’t going to come, i was about to cry

jaeyun<3 : gotta go, see you soon

The game started and everyone started to cheer the two teams came out and you saw jaeyun looking around to find you, smiling after locking eyes with you as you sent him a heart and a thumbs up. The whistle blows and the ball starts rolling, you knew nothing about soccer but seeing your boyfriend have the time of his life playing his favorite sport is what made you so excited about it.

“why don’t you just tell him you don’t like him? easy.” your friend soojin says as she stuffs more salad in her mouth.

“it’s not that simple soojin, this is heeseung we’re talking about. lee fucking heeseung, sweet doe eyed heeseung. i can’t just reject him.” heeseung has been your friend since elementary and only a month into senior year of high school he decided to confess his feelings to you. you weren't just going to reject him - you loved him, but you just didn't see him in that way and it wasn’t fair to you or him to ruin the friendship over something as silly as a crush.

“i guess you’re right - but hey, i’m sure we’ll think of something. have you seen him since?”

heeseung was super sweet about it - saying that he had to meet with you before school today but what you didn’t expect was for him to say that he had a bit of a crush on you with his eyes full of hope and a blush tinting his cheeks. how could you possibly say that you didn't feel the same way when he was basically giving you puppy dog eyes.

“no, i haven’t but i panicked and may or may not have told him thatihaveaboyfriend.” you said the last part rushed hoping soojin wouldn’t push the topic further as you bit into your watermelon. soojin raised her eyebrow to you. “uh, yn i’m gonna need you to say that again, slower.”

you sighed but gave in, “i kinda told him that i have a boyfriend.” you said as you sunk in your shoulders, “soojin what should i do? ugh.” you said stuffing your hands in your face making a dramatic fake cry to which your friend responded to a roll of her eyes.

“wait yn! what was the movie that you watched like two years ago and said how you wanted your high school romance to be like?” you racked your brain to which movie she could possibly be referencing until it clicked.

“uh, she’s all that?” she just looks at you as if you just insulted her in five different languages, “no dummy the one on netflix.” she said as she starts pulling out her phone to try and find the movie she’s thinking about. then it hit you, for real this time.

“ohh, to all the boys i’ve loved before?” you said as you finished your fruit cup.

“yes! that’s the one! yeah, why don’t you just say you have a boyfriend?”

“yeah expect i don’t - ”

“but he doesn’t need to know that, just have someone be your fake boyfriend like in that movie, get yourself a peter kavinsky.” soojin says as she moves her eyebrows up and down. you thought that was one of the most ridiculous ideas she’s ever had - which is saying a lot.

“yeah? and who exactly is going to be my “peter kavinsky?” you said using quotes with your fingers, “besides - heeseung already knows all the guys here and most definitely knows that I’m not involved with any of them.” to this you let out a pout.

“well i’m sure we can find someone - hmmm.” she said as she, what you assumed to be her thinking of a potential fake boyfriend for you. when she looked up at you with a slight smirk, “what about sim jake?” you already felt your heart doing backflips at the sound of his name, jake.

you and him both meet freshmen year in music class, the two of you soon became good friends, you would go to his afterschool soccer practice and he would come to your dance rehearsals, a lot of people, including heeseung thought the two of you were dating but jake was quick, a bit too quick to shut down those rumors. you would be lying if you said that if that didn’t hurt you a bit, you were slowly falling for one of your best friends.

but of course you wouldn’t tell him that, jake, soojin, heeseung, and you were the inseparable group, that was until jake’s parents decided to move into another city in the middle of junior year. the group tried to stay in touch the best they could but it was hard to keep the long distance friendship not to mention that jake got a girlfriend and sort of forgot about the rest of you, so at the moment you felt bittersweet about him - but it’s been almost half a year since you’ve last spoken to him.

“jake - like jake sim, like jake sim with the girlfriend?” you say as you roll your eyes, “i’m not a homewrecker, soojin.”

“you mean ex girlfriend?” soojin said with a grin, “i follow her on instagram and what do you know miss chaeryeong deleted all her pictures with jake and took the “j” and lock emoji from her bio.”

you were surprised that they had broken up. they were definitely that couple that you would go to a high school reunion 20 years later and they would still have been together, they were perfect for each other - everyone said it.

“is that so? well anyways why jake of all people? i haven’t even talked to the guy.” now it was soojin’s turn to be surprised.

“wait what? you haven’t talked to jake?”

“no…” you took a sip of your water. “you have?” you asked soojin with a questioning look. you always thought ever since jake stopped talking to you that he stopped talking to the whole group as well, you thought wrong.

“yeah? he always asks about you too, i would always wonder why he would ask me about you instead of talking to you personally but i’m guessing he cut ties with you?” she asked as her eyes wandered, falling onto heeseung making his way to your cafeteria table.

to say you were feeling jealous and confused was an understatement, he kept contact with soojin? and not with you? did he never like you as a friend and him moving was finally his escape to not having to talk to you anymore? “oh. yeah, me and him stopped talking a while ago. weird that he asks about me though.”

“weird? yn don’t make me laugh. i think jake likes you, i mean it’s obvious he still cares about you and your well-being.” you tried, keyword: tried to suppress the fact that jake could potentially like you, but there’s no way right?

“i don’t think so sooj-”

“yn. did something happen between you and jake?”

you froze. what? why is she asking that? surely she doesn’t know - there’s no way she knows, jake wouldn’t have told her, would he? it’s really not even a big deal. it’s more so the fact that a line was crossed, one that friends should never cross. just as you were about to answer you felt a tap on your shoulder.

“hey yn, hey soojin.” heeseung said giving his typical warm smile. “can i sit with you two? unless you’re talking about girl stuff then yuck no thanks.”

“of course you can heeseung.” you answered, it’s still a bit awkward since he only just confessed to you earlier this morning but it’s almost as if he’s moved on from it, then again you did tell him that you had a boyfriend.

he takes a seat next to you as you ask, “you’re not going to eat?” he simply shakes his head explaining that he’s leaving school early and will just eat then preferring not to eat whatever was today’s school lunch. “so what are you ladies talking about?” he says resting his face in the palm of his hand.

“oh, just about that geometry test we have tomorrow. right yn?” the sound of your name made your eyes widen, why were you so on edge? “y-yep! i’m definitely going to have to study for it tonight.”

the rest of lunch went smoothly as well as the rest of the day, and honestly you haven’t really thought of jak- ahem, him.

-

pulling into the driveway of your house you were sure to lock your car (and triple checking of course, to be absolutely certain it was locked) and made your way inside. your parents were still out of town celebrating their marriage anniversary, they still have a few more days before coming back home. not that you mind having the house all to yourself.

that just leaves you and miles - your orange tabby cat. you served miles and yourself food and made your way into the living room while you mindlessly scrolled on the “what’s new” section of netflix. so filled with whatever show preview you were seeing you didn’t even hear your phone’s ding not until it dinged again shortly after is when you decided to open your messages.

if you fall into a hole and stay there, you would.

staring at the text before you, your mouth hung open, heart beating inhumanly fast, and your food long forgotten.

“this is yn right?”

“it’s jake.”

CHAPTER 1

“Why did you do it?” The judge asked, as he stared into them, rage filling his eyes as he remembered everything that had happened. It wouldn’t have happened if they convicted the right person but instead, they let him get away with it. 

“Wanna know why?” He asked, rage filling him from the inside, as everyone looked at him, waiting for him to answer. “The fucking justice system is fucked up.” He uttered, as his voice shook, her face popped up in his mind. 

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Good morning everyone!” The chief greeted, as he entered the office with a cup of coffee in his right hand. 

“Chief, the rookies have arrived.” One of the police officers announced, approaching him. 

“We only have 5 rookies?” The chief asked, as he looked at his assistant chief in disbelief. 

“Apparently the accident a few years ago affected our unit, the police academy decided to send us only five of them.” His assistant replied to him, making the chief sighed, putting down his coffee on his desk. 

“That’s not our problem, chief.” The police officer whispered, loud enough for the chief to hear as he sighed for the second time. 

“What is it?” The chief asked. 

“That rookie over there, she’s assigned to Sim Jaeyun.” He responded. 

“Sim, he doesn’t take any rookies.” The chief uttered. 

“That’s the problem, no one wants to take her, because she’s a female and she’s very young.” He explained as the chief rubbed his temple, not expecting a problem first thing in the morning. 

“Send her inside my office.” The chief said, turning around as he grabbed his coffee from the desk. 

2

“Goodmorning,” The female rookie greeted as she entered the chief’s office. 

“Goodmorning have a seat.” The chief instructed her. 

Taking a seat in front of him, she watched him carefully as he typed on his computer, waiting for him to ask her something. 

“I’m chief Lee, the chief of this police department,” Lee announced as she just looked at him, like he had said something wrong to her. He looked at her and asked, “what’s your name? And your age?”

“Y/n, Park Y/n, 21.” She replied, still looking at him. 

“You’re the youngest, and your name sounds very familiar.” Lee said as he continued typing on his computer. 

“Park Jongseong.” She uttered, as he stopped typing on his computer. “Now you’re interested, finally looking at me.” She added as she looked coldly into his eyes.

“How’d you know him?” Lee asked.

“Sim will take me, you don’t have to worry about him not taking me,” Y/n said, standing up from her seat. 

“How’d you know officer Park?” Lee asked again, as he held her arm, stopping her from leaving.

“That’s none of your concern Chief, your only concern here is if someone is taking me as a rookie to be trained.” Y/n retorted as she pulled her arm away from his grip, making him stare at her shock.

3

“I can’t believe you requested Mr. Detective to be your trainer.” Jungwon said, staring at her proudly. 

“But he doesn’t take rookies, if he says no, it’s gonna be your problem.” Officer Kim said. 

“He’s gonna take me.” Y/n uttered under her breaths, as they shook their heads. Just then yellings could be heard from outside their office unit. 

“I told you I don’t take rookies!” Jaeyun yelled as he slammed the door open of the department, startling everyone inside. He looked at everyone and said “whoever requested me to be their trainer, I won’t take you,” 

“Why won’t you take me?” Y/n asked as she stood up from her seat, everyone staring at her boldness. 

“Y/n,” he whispered, as he stared at her shock. He sighed and declared, “Fine, I’m taking her.”

4

“Told you he’s taking me.” Y/n said, as she continued eating her lunch. 

“He knows you.” Jungwon uttered, staring at her. 

“He’s been friends with my brother since childhood that’s why he knows me, he can’t resist me,” Y/n explained to Jungwon, who has been her friend since she went inside the academy. 

“That’s right,” Jaeyun said, taking a seat beside Y/n as Jungwon stared at him in shock. 

“Should I leave you two alone, so you both can have a conversation?” Jungwon asked Jaeyun, as he saw how he stared at her. 

“No, I’m just looking at her, making sure it’s really her.” Jaeyun replied, looking at Jungwon who avoided eye contact, making him chuckle at his cuteness. 

“Don’t look at him, he gets shy very easily.” Y/n said, taking a sip of his coffee.

“Hey, that’s mine.” Jaeyun said, as he tried taking his coffee from Y/n. 

“It’s mine now.” Y/n said, turning away from him, stopping him from taking the coffee away from her. “Oh, you’ll have to deal with the chief later.” Y/n added. 

“Why? What did you do?” He asked her, as she shrugged her shoulders as a response.

“She disrespected the chief.” Jungwon informed him, as he looked at Y/n in disbelief. 

5

“So you decided to take her.” The chief said, as they entered his office. 

“Yeah.” He replied as he took a seat in front of him.

“She knows about officer Park.” Lee informed him, that didn’t even shock him. 

“Yeah so?” He responded.

“She’s a threat to our department if she knows about Jongseong.” Lee retorted to him. 

“Heeseung, she knows about him because that’s her brother,” Jaeyun informed him as he looked at him in shock. 

“What?” He asked, not believing what he’s hearing. 

“I’m taking her because I promised to take care of her before Jay accepted the job he was offered,” Jaeyun said. 

“So you’re taking her as a rookie to take care of her?” Heeseung asked him, not understanding anything.

“Jay and I had been friends since we were children and I’ve known Y/n since she was a little kid, she would do anything to find me, she’s an angel, Jay’s job was unsuccessful, she was mad, and she knows you were the one who offered him that job, so understand that she’s gonna be like that to you.” Jaeyun explained. “I need permission, permission to take her with me, I don’t want her to stay in any dorms here.” He added.

“Do whatever you want.” Heeseung replied.

6

“So you’re really taking me?” Y/n asked as she watched him pack her clothes in her luggage. “There’s only one room in your apartment.” Y/n uttered, laying down on her bed that made a squeaky sound. 

Jaeyun didn’t reply to her. Grabbing all her belongings, he helped him carry all her heavy stuff all the way to his car. 

“You have a nice car.” Y/n uttered quietly, as she watched him drive carefully. “I can call you Jake right?” Y/n asked. 

“Call me anything you want, little one.” Jake replied as he continued to focus his visions on the road. 

“I’m not a little one anymore.” Y/n said. 

“You do look like one.” Jake said, chuckling as he saw her pouting her lips like a little kid that didn’t get the toy they wanted from their parents. 

“Shut up.” Y/n replied as Jake just chuckled at her.

Arriving at his place, he showed her around his apartment. It has one big bedroom with a big mattress. Two bathrooms, one inside the bedroom and another one on the hallway near the kitchen. It has a dining area and kitchen and also a living room.

The whole apartment is painted with light gray paint except his bedroom that is painted with black paint. 

“Where am I sleeping?” Y/n asked.

“You can take the bed. I’ll take the living room.” Jake replied as he helped her unpacked her belongings.

“Or we can share the bed.” Y/n suggested, as she looked at Jake smiling widely.

“Whatever you want, little one.” Jake replied.

“Stop calling me that.” Y/n said.

“That’s your nickname, nickname I made for you.” Jake said.

7

They both lay down on the mattress, as they decided to sleep beside each other, like before. Staring at the ceiling, Y/n sighed. 

“I heard we’re taking the serial killer case.” Y/n said.

“Yeah, I’ll be in charge of it, and since you’re my rookie, you’ll have to work with me.” Jake responded.

“Jake.” Y/n called him, turning on his side as she stared at his perfect visuals.

“Hmmm” Jake hummed.

“Did you know that Jay used to call me princess?” Y/n asked.

“Everyone knows he calls his little sister his princess, Jay loves you very much and everyone knows that too, Heeseung knows that too.” Jake said, turning around to face Y/n.

“He left. Didn’t come back.” Y/n uttered quietly as she stared at him, waiting for an answer.

“You miss him?” He asked her.

“I miss my brother everyday,” Y/n replied, sighing. 

“I miss him too, he’s my best friend after all,” Jake said. “Don’t hate Heeseung, he didn’t mean to offer him the job.” Jake added.

"Why did you do it?" The judge asked, as he stared into them, rage filling his eyes as he remembered everything that had happened. It wouldn't have happened if they convicted the right person but instead, they let him get away with it.

CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 2

1

“You’re an early bird.” Jake said, seeing Y/n cooking breakfast for them. 

“I’m not, I’m just thankful that you took me.” Y/n replied, serving him his plate full of food. Eggs, bacon, toast and potato fritter. “You know you need to go grocery shopping, your fridge is empty.” She added, taking a seat in front of him. 

“I don’t really cook,” Jake said. “Jay was the one who usually cooks for us,” he uttered quietly.

“Jay is a good cook, a great one. I don’t know why he chose this path, maybe if he didn’t he would still be by my side.” Y/n stated, eating the bacon she had cooked earlier.  “Tell me about my brother, when he was working with you.” Y/n said, looking up at him.

“Hmm, what can I say about him? Jay is a hardworking guy, he’s good at everything, he never rejected any job offers despite their dangers, he doesn’t care, if he’s receiving a nice amount of money he takes it, without any doubt, no second thoughts he takes it, that’s why everyone envies him, until now, the department just simply can’t find someone as good as him. Whenever someone asks him why he takes dangerous jobs, no questions asked, he’ll always tell them he wants to give you a nice life, that he wants you to have nice clothes, nice foods, nice places, everything.” Jake shared. 

“I told him I don’t want any of that.” Y/n replied to him, sighing. 

“When he was offered the job, the job that took his life, he told the chief he’s not taking it. He told him that if  he doesn’t come back to you, no one will take care of you, but that same day he found out you’re sick, you needed treatment for your surgery. I could’ve told him I’ll pay for your surgery expenses and hospital bills but instead I told him I’ll take care of you.” Jake added on his story.

“It’s not your fault, he would’ve taken it anyways, it was my fault, I got sick.” Y/n uttered quietly, finishing the last toast on her plate, as she took her empty plate on the sink, with Jake watching her. 

2

Entering the office together, silent murmurs can be heard throughout the hallways, as the news of Jake taking a rookie spreaded like a virus, it was a big deal, as he never liked the idea of taking a rookie. 

“Why’d you never take a rookie?” Y/n asked, entering the elevator with Jake. “Are you nervous?” Y/n asked, seeing Jake being uneasy.

“Y/n, if they mention Jay, don’t react, if you react I don’t know what they’ll do. And to answer your question, your brother was my first rookie. After his death I told myself I’m not taking more rookies again.” Jake replied at Y/n.

Y/n followed behind Jake, who’s leading her to the meeting office to talk about the serial murder case that’s been happening for almost 3 years now. 

“Mr. Sim Jaeyun, it’s been awhile, and well what do we have here, a rookie after 3 years a rookie.” The leader of the investigation greeted them, as soon they entered the room.

“This is Y/n, she’s my rookie and she’ll be helping us with the case.” Jake said, looking at the man in front of him, who has been looking at him with a smug look on his face. 

“Well Y/n, I’m Lee Eunyeok, call me Mr. Lee or just simply Eunyeok.” He said, introducing himself to Y/n. 

“Shall we start?” A guy asked, as they all nodded in response. 

“I’m Park Sunghoon, Jake’s partner.” Sunghoon said, introducing himself to Y/n as he sat beside Jake.

“I’m Y/n, he didn’t mention he has a partner.” Y/n replied at him, grinning softly.

“Not that type of partner, little one.” Jake whispered in her ears. 

“I didn’t say anything.” Y/n whispered back.

“Okay, so latest murder happened a few nights ago, victim is 40 years old male, arrested for rape but charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence, no murder weapons were retrived  nor any fingerprints were detected.” Eunyeok said, showing everyone the slideshow to show them the stab wounds of the victim. “Our theory is that the serial killer used a kitchen knife to stab the victim,” he continued.

“That’s not a kitchen knife stab wound,” Y/n said, interrupting Eunyeok from speaking.

“Excuse me?” Eunyeok asked, while Jake signaled her not to say anything more. 

“That’s a pocket knife stab wound, you can see it from the tissue damage, it’s not a clean cut from a single stab of a kitchen knife, but a cut created by multiple stabs from a pocket knife.” Y/n explained.

“And who taught you that? Cause that doesn’t make sense, it’s bullshit.” Eunyeok said, chuckling as everyone in the room started laughing.

“That’s an absurd theory.” One of them said as they continued to laugh until they shut them off.

“Jay taught me about it.” Y/n said, making the laughter die down.

“Y/n, stop it.” Jake said, as he signaled her not to say anything more than that.

“You know Jay?” Eunyeok asked.

“Yeah, the officer you got killed 3 years ago. The job was offered to you but because it’s dangerous you offered it to my brother knowing he won’t decline the offer.” Y/n disclosed. 

“Let’s continue the meeting tomorrow, Y/n let’s go.” Jake said, but he was stopped.

“Why don’t you send her with Sunghoon, stay here for awhile,” Eunyeok said.

“That girl, that’s Jay’s sister?” Eunyeok asked.

“Yes, but please, leave her out of it, she doesn’t know everything.” Jake replied. 

“Well let’s hope that, because you know what will happen.” Eunyeok told him before leaving the room.

3

The car ride was silent, as Jake decided to buy some groceries with Y/n to ease his mind. 

“Sorry.” Y/n said, breaking the ice inside the moving car. “Please say something,” Y/n uttered again, as Jake didn’t respond. 

“I told you not to mention him.” Jake said through his gritted teeth.

“Can’t help it.” Y/n replied quietly.

“From now on you’re not going to the meetings, nor near the building, you’ll only go there to report your status.” Jake told her.

“Why?” Y/n asked.

“Because you got yourself in their radar, and now I have to keep you beside me at all times, because if not, you’ll end up like your brother.” Jake replied, parking his car near the grocery entrance. 

“He got my brother killed yet he’s standing there leading the investigation.” Y/n said before coming out of the car, as Jake sighed.

“Jay, give me strength, your sister is adorable when pissed off.” Jake whispered.

Jake followed Y/n inside the grocery, who’s now running like a little kid as soon as she got the shopping cart, making Jake chuckle at her. “No wonder your brother loves you so much,” Jake whispered. 

“Take any food you want,” Jake told Y/n, helping her push the cart. 

“Should I cook something for dinner?” Y/n asked, looking up at Jake. 

“Let’s just order take out.” Jake replied.

“What will I do at home?” Y/n suddenly asked.

“I’ll print you all copies of the cases from 3 years ago, and help us like that.” Jake responded, grabbing a pack of ramens to put on the cart.

“You know, I really like spicy ramen,” Y/n mentioned, seeing him only getting mild ramens.

“You do?” Jake asked.

“I love them.” Y/n replied with a little smile on her face.

4

Arriving at Jake’s place from the grocery, Y/n helped out to take all the groceries he bought for them inside the apartment.

“It’s been 3 years since I’ve bought this amount of groceries.” Jake said, as he struggled to carry all the foods they bought.

“I told you I can help carry them,” Y/n mumbled.

“Has Jay ever let you carry more than 1 grocery bag?” Jake asked, looking at Y/n as he finally set down the groceries down the kitchen table.

“No, he never let me carry one.” Y/n replied.

“Great, your brother will now have a reason to hunt me in my sleep.” Jake said, panting.

“Oh don’t be so dramatic,” Y/n replied, handing him a cold glass of water.

“Thank you.” Jake said.

5 

During dinner they both ate the take out they bought at a korean restaurant on their way home. 

“Are these all the cases?” Y/n asked, as she skimmed all the printed cases Jake had printed her.

“No, there are more, but I have to grab them at my office, so stay put, I’ll be back, call me if there’s an emergency and don’t open the door unless it’s me.” Jake said as he grabbed his car keys to get all the remaining files printed from his office.

“Jake, would you mind buying some midnight snacks?” Y/n asked.

“We bought a lot of snacks,” Jake said.

“I forgot to take lays.” Y/n mumbled.

“I’ll get them on my way back here.” Jake said before going out. 

After Jake left to get the remaining files, Y/n started skimming on the files Jake had already printed.

First victim: Male, 30 years old arrested for murder, case dropped due to insufficient evidence. Stabbed 10 times on his chest and 3 times on his back. No murder weapons retrieved. No fingerprints recovered. Murder weapon: kitchen knife. 

“Are they dumb? That’s clearly not from a kitchen knife.” Y/n mumbled as she continued reading the first case of the serial killer. 

Second victim: Male, 25 years old arrested for sexual assault, case dropped due to insufficient evidence. Stabbed 10 times on his chest. No murder weapons and no fingerprints recovered. Murder weapon: kitchen knife.

“Why do they keep putting the kitchen knife when it’s not a kitchen knife,” Y/n mumbled, but her thoughts were interrupted when the bell rang. 

Forgetting what Jake had told her, she opened the door. 

CHAPTER 3

1

Y/n kept reading the files on the case they’re working on, there’s a lot of them, from the last 3 years they haven’t caught the killer, the murderer. The biggest question in Y/n’s mind is, what’s his/her motive of doing this. 

On all the case files, all of them end with a dead end. No murder weapons, no fingerprints, no clue, there’s nothing, the serial killer is very smart. 

“Will Jay be able to solve this if he’s still here?” Y/n quietly asked herself. 

Jay was once the best rookie, he can solve anything not even detectives can solve, he’s one of a kind. Jake was his mentor, however being the same age, they treated each other like brothers, they’re friends, Jake was just his senior for 2 years, he graduated earlier than him, he’s a smartass. Jay graduated later because of his sister. He wants his sister to be able to handle herself first before going to the university, but that changed when their parents died in a car crash. He needed money, he worked 3 jobs a day for a year until he decided to go inside the academy.

After 3 years of being in the academy he was finally sent to the police department of crime teams, Jake took him as his rookie. He never made a mistake during his rookie year, not even after. 

Jay was offered one of the dangerous jobs, spy a frat group by going inside, just for a year and receive 6 figures monthly, he wasn’t going to take it, but hearing the amount of money he took it, he can use it for his sister’s heart surgery, he accepted it, however he didn’t make it to his sister’s 18th birthday.

The doorbell kept ringing, making Y/n sigh in frustration. 

“Can’t you fucking wait?” Y/n asked, opening the door, Jake told her not to open it. “Shit!” Y/n exclaimed. “What the fuck happened to you!?” Y/n asked as she tried helping him up to get inside Jake’s apartment. Successfully helping him inside she flopped him down the sofa. 

“Wait there I’m calling Jake.” Y/n said, leaving injured Sunghoon in the living room. 

“Fucking answer Jake,” Y/n mumbled. “Goddammit!” Y/n exclaimed as she threw her phone on the bed. Going into the living room to check on Sunghoon.

“Hey, you up?” Y/n asked, shaking the guy in front of her, who just groaned. “At Least help me lift your shirt,” Y/n mumbled, trying to remove his shirt to see his injury. 

“Don’t,” Sunghoon mumbled, stopping her from removing his shirt.

“We have to treat it.” Y/n said sternly, fighting Sunghoon’s grip. 

“You don’t want to see it.” Sunghoon said weakly, coughing up blood.

“I’m calling the ambulance.” Y/n said, just to get stopped by him. “You’re gonna die.” Y/n said, panicking. 

“He won’t.” Jake said, slamming the door open. “Little one, grab me a towel and some water,” Jake said, sending Y/n away to check on Sunghoon’s wound. 

Y/n went inside Jake’s room to grab a towel, not forgetting to fill up a basin with water. 

“Oh my god!” Y/n exclaimed, turning around as she saw Sunghoon’s big injury on his stomach. 

Jake stood up from his position to grab the towel and water from Y/n and told her “I can manage little one. Go and keep reading the files, oh and that’s your midnight snack.”

“He’s gonna die if you don’t bring him to the hospital.” Y/n said.

“I won’t let it happen.” Jake said, trying to calm her down. 

Jake started cleaning his wounds, hearing grunts from Sunghoon he pressed harder on his wounds. 

“It fucking hurts.” Sunghoon groaned, opening his eyes glaring at Jake who’s already glaring back at him. 

“What the fuck happened?” Jake asked as he continued treating Sunghoon’s open wounds. 

“Nothing, but I made a mistake,” Sunghoon responded, groaning.

“What did you do?” Jake asked.

“I dropped my pocket knife.” Sunghoon replied quietly. 

“Don’t worry about it. We’ll get it tomorrow.” Jake replied to him quietly.

“What will you do about Y/n?” Sunghoon asked. 

“I don’t know.” Jake responded.

“She just dug her own grave.” Sunghoon replied back.

“She’s mad about her brother’s death, and she finally met the people who put her brother’s life on the line, and now he’s gone.” Jake said.

“You like her don’t you?” Sunghoon said teasingly. 

“Shut up.” Jake retorted, making Sunghoon chuckle.

“Remember when you told me a lot of stories about her when we met in the academy and years later you met her brother again,” Sunghoon reminded him.

“I did talk a lot about her.” Jake responded. “I can’t be with her, her brother will haunt me if I try dating her.” He added, making Sunghoon laugh who groaned in pain right after.

“You know you can’t keep her here, you should get her an apartment or something or maybe a car if she drives so she doesn’t die of boredness here, she can’t be reading files 24/7,” Sunghoon said.

“I’ll talk to her about it.” Jake said as he continued to treat his friend’s wound that just stopped bleeding.

3

Y/n continued reading the files for the next hour but her mind kept drifting to injured Sunghoon. Sighing, she decided to leave Jake’s office. 

She saw Jake cleaning the blood off the floor and Sunghoon sleeping on the couch. 

“He’s fine.” Jake announced, making Y/n sigh in relief.

“What happened to him?” Y/n asked as she sat on the floor to check on Sunghoon’s wound. 

“I don’t know little one, ask him tomorrow.” Jake replied. “Come on, let’s get you to bed.” Jake added, trying to lift her. 

“I can walk.” Y/n mumbled. 

“I’ll carry you.” Jake said as he successfully lifted her up, carrying her to his bedroom. 

Jake dropped Y/n on his bed before going inside his bathroom to clean himself up. Getting up from the bed, Y/n knocked on the bathroom’s door. 

“You need something?” Jake asked from the other side. 

“I also need to wash up.” Y/n replied, the door unlocking, revealing a topless Jake.

“Wash up here, I’ll wash up in the other bathroom.” Jake stated as he came out of the bathroom to let her wash up.

After washing up, Y/n flopped down on the bed to get some sleep. And after 10 minutes Jake opened his bedroom door to find Y/n fast asleep, making him chuckle.

CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER 7

1

After the confrontation in the meeting room, Sunghoon told Jake to take Y/n with him and he’ll talk to Jungwon somewhere private. Now Y/n and Jake are laying down on the same bed, trying to get some sleep.

“Jake,” Y/n called out, but Jake ignored her, turning around from her. “You’re mad at me?” Y/n asked, but still no reply. “Please don’t ignore me,” Y/n said, turning on Jake’s side as she tapped his shoulders. 

“You never listen to me, I listened to every one of your antics but you don’t listen to mine,” Jake said, turning around, facing Y/n. “I’ve never said no to any of your antics, you wanted to buy groceries, I said yes, you wanted your brother’s car, I said yes, you wanted to stay here at your brother’s place, I said yes, I’ve never said no to you, I only ask you not to say anything yet you still keep digging your grave even deeper.” Jake stated. “Eunyeok can kill you anytime he wants, and I don’t want that to happen, I’m trying my best to keep you away from him but you keep adding fuel to the fire, listen to me for once and stop it,” He added. 

“You’re the serial killer,” Y/n said.

“What?” Jake asked.

“You and Sunghoon, you both are the serial killers,” Y/n uttered.

“You don’t know anything,” Jake told her.

“I know everything, and why you’re killing them. You’re mad because the justice system keeps failing the public, you have rapists on the loose, drug dealers on the loose, murderers, criminals in one word. You’re mad because you couldn’t give Jay’s death justice. That's why you guilt trip Sunghoon into joining you and kill them because his father killed Jay. I know everything Jake.” Y/n stated. 

“What else do you know?” Jake asked.

“I know that you like me, because Jay told me about it,” Y/n said.

“And?” Jake said, removing strands of hair from her face, looking directly at her eyes, their faces inching closer to each other. Jake touched her lips, biting his lips. He kept closing their face distance, until his lips touched her, kissing her passionately. 

Y/n moaned in the kiss, feeling Jake tugging her lips down to access her mouth. Y/n opened her mouth as Jake slid his tongue, exploring the inside of his mouth with his tongue. 

Breaking the kiss, they both pant, catching their breaths. 

“Jay will haunt me for doing this,” Jake said, as he connected their foreheads. “Do you want it?” Jake asked as he started kissing her from her forehead down to her neck, making her moan. 

“I want it,” Y/n said. 

“Fuck,” Jake groaned, pulling Y/n into a messy makeout session. As their kiss became slopier he started to hover above her, his hands traveling in between her legs, cupping her p**sy with his veiny hands making Y/n pull out of the kiss as she moaned. 

Y/n tugged on Jake’s shirt, trying to take it off him. Jake chuckled at her annoyed look as she struggled to take it off him. Jake took off her shirt before he started kissing her neck again, leaving marks on it, his lips traveled down to her chest, leaving marks there too. 

“Tell me what you want Y/n,” Jake asked, as he continued to leave marks on her body.

“I want you buried deep inside me,” Y/n told him as she moaned as she felt his hand slid inside her undies. 

“Fuck it,” Jake moaned. Standing up to remove his pajama leaving him only in his boxers. 

Jake hovered above Y/n, pulling her into another kiss, as he tugged down her pajamas and undergarments leaving her naked.

“Jake, fuck,” Y/n moaned, holding his wrist, as he fingered her while leaving more marks on her neck. 

“Are you sure you want it?” Jake asked, looking down at her.

“Please, I want it, fuck me.” Y/n said, as he groaned, finally removing his boxers as c**k sprung out, tip pink, leaking out some precum. 

Jake positioned himself in between her legs with his c**k on his hands as he aligned it on her entrance. Pushing it in, Y/n cried out “Jake, it hurts.” 

Jake started kissing her as he distracted her from the pain, as he pushed his whole length inside her hole. 

“Tell me if you want me to move,” Jake said, letting Y/n adjust on his size, burying his face on her neck.

“Move,” Y/n said. 

Jake started moving in and out of her as Y/n’s moans started getting louder. 

“Jake! Fuck!” Y/n screamed, feeling him hit her spot. 

“You like it?” Jake asked, smirking, moving a bit more faster. 

“So fucking good, fuck,” Y/n moaned out, holding on his shoulders as he started fucking her harder, making her arch her back. 

“God I’m so fucking close,” Y/n moaned. 

“Fuck, cum baby” Jake groaned, as he started rubbing her cl*t making her moan louder. 

“Fuck!” Y/n screamed, cumming around Jake’s c**k.

Jake held Y/n’s hip down, pinning her down the bed, as he moved faster, chasing his own release, while Y/n screamed in sensitivity. 

“Fuck,” Jake groaned, releasing his seeds inside her before collapsing on top of her.

Jake pulled the cover on both of them as he pulled Y/n close to him, scared someone will take her away from him. Y/n placed her hands on her chest as she snuggled closer to him. 

“Why did you ask me to be your mentor?” Jake asked. 

“Because on the box Jay left me a note and wrote that I should find you,” Y/n responded. 

“Jay got mad at me because I told him I like you, we had a fight,” Jake told her, chuckling.

“Yeah, Jay told me about it and I got mad at him for getting mad at you.” Y/n told him, making him chuckle. 

“No wonder he apologized to me the next day.” Jake said. “Let’s sleep, my love.” He added.

“Goodnight,” Y/n said, burying her face on his chest.

“Goodnight, my love.” Jake replied, leaving a kiss on the crown of her head.

When he heard her snoring softly, he decided to sleep.

2

After one week 

“Baby, wake up.” Jake whispered in Y/n’s ear in an attempt to wake her up.

“No, 5 more minutes.” Y/n groaned in her sleep. 

Jake watch her sleep peacefully, smiling, adoring her sleeping face then smirking as he remember the amount of times he made her cum around his c**k and how loud she screamed his name, chanting it like it’s a ritual. 

“Baby, come on you’ll get late.” Jake whispered as he left wet kisses on her neck, making her groan in her sleep.

“Stop it Jake, you didn’t stop until 6am, let me sleep a bit more.” Y/n whined, turning around from Jake. 

Jake pulled her closer to him, burying his face on her neck. “Baby, you know I can’t resist you and you’re getting evaluation from your assignment.” He whispered. 

“Fuck the evaluation,” Y/n mumbled as Jake chuckled at her. 

“Fine, I’ll let you sleep a bit more.” Jake said, hugging her tightly. 

—

“You haven’t told me about the assignment, what was it about,” Jake told Y/n as his focus remained on the road. 

“We have to give a theory about a case.” Y/n said. 

“And what was the case about?” Jake asked, smiling.

“Jay.” Y/n blurted out, looking outside the window as she avoided Jake’s gaze. 

“Y/n,” Jake said.

“We’re here,” Y/n said, pecking Jake’s lips and leaving the car, not giving Jake any chance to scold her.

“There haven't been any dead bodies this week so far,” Sunoo said, typing on his computer. 

“Isn’t that great?” Heeseung asked. 

“It’s great but at the same time terrifying, the serial killer must’ve been taking some precautions since dropping his pocket knife.” Sunoo replied. 

“Yeah, and we still don’t know who took the evidence.” Heeseung replied back.

“And there’s no proof either that someone from this department took it.” Sunoo said as he went back to type on his computer.

“Y/n, is pretty suspicious,” Heeseung said, making Sunoo divert his attention to him.

“What do you mean?” Sunoo asked.

“She knows a lot about Jay, about this department, she knows about everything.” Heeseung responded.

“No, she just has beef with the general, that’s all, and if you say that she knows a lot, it’s like you’re agreeing that we’re getting paid here to release criminals.” Sunoo argued.

“You’re right, I shouldn’t jump to conclusions,” Heeseung said.

“Oh wait, did you know that their assignment was to give Jay’s case a theory on what they think really happened?” Sunoo asked, now getting Heeseung’s attention.

“What?” Heeseung asked, his eyes widening with the information.

“Yeah, Jungwon told me that their academy mentor found out about what happened and decided to give everyone that assignment, you know my father is pretty close with Mr. Sim and my father asked me about Y/n, because apparently her theory is very accurate.” Sunoo replied. “Oh and except one, she mentioned that Jay’s remains are missing,” he added.

“She knows what happened to her brother and they did have a close casket during his burial and funeral.” Heeseung said, thinking why was the casket closed during that time, he saw his dead body, why was it closed, that question lingered in his mind.

“Ms. Y/n, I heard Sim Jaeyun accepted you as his rookie, he hasn’t accepted any rookie ever since Jay,” Mr. Sim said, giving statements in his class as he gave out their assignments. “I really love all your theories, but Ms. Y/n can you tell us about your theory, I’m really amazed at how accurate your theory is,” Mr. Sim added, smiling at her as she received applause from the other rookies. 

As Y/n stood up in front of the class, Mr. Sim gave her a smile of assurance that she did really well on her assignment. 

“Before we start, I want to inform everyone that the reason we did this was because of what took place in the meeting room, please stand up for yourself, like what Ms. Y/n did, the general can be very harsh so you have to stand up for yourself.” Mr. Sim informed them. 

“Ms. Y/n please tell me about the job of Mr. Park, the one you wrote on the theory,” Mr. Sim said. 

“Jay was a remarkable rookie and officer, he’s a very hardworking officer, he took every job offer they offered him, they were easy jobs, investigating a crime case, catching a criminal and writing a report of every latest murder case. However the last job he took was for someone else, that someone else didn’t want to take that job because of how risky it is, being offered a large sum of money he accepted it. His job was to spy on a large group of drug dealers without getting caught and making an arrest.” Y/n responded. 

“This is actually accurate, because Jay indeed, took all job offers including the last one, Ms. Y/n please tell me what happened.” Mr. Sim said. 

“They find out about him.” Y/n responded, trying to remain in her composure. 

“That’s right, when he was very close to completing his job, his duty, they found out about him. Ms. Y/n I’m not gonna ask you about his cause of death, but I’m curious about the missing remains, why is that your theory?” Mr. Sim asked. 

“Jake didn’t tell you, did he?” Y/n asked.

“Tell me what?” Mr. Sim asked, looking at her with confusion.

CHAPTER 8

1

Eunyeok drove into one of the mansions he’s working with as he was called by their leader. He doesn’t work alone nor does he work with a small group, he works with a large group of syndicate. This syndicate isn’t known to the world as they have various connections, not just the general of every police department, but the government. 

Arriving at his location a large number of people wearing black outfits with riffles in their hands, guided him inside to where his boss was. 

“Mr. Kim,” Eunyeok greeted.

“You’ve arrived.” Mr. Kim replied, turning around to meet his already confused gaze. Mr. Kim sighed, shooing away all his men, as he puffed his cigarette before throwing it on the ground. 

“When are you planning to tell me that you’ve found Jay’s sister? Or perhaps, are you trying to betray Mr. Lazio?” Mr. Kim asked, approaching Eunyeok. 

“No sir, there’s no such thing, I’m just waiting for the right time,” He responded, his head hung low.

“Mr. Lee, you must’ve forgotten that everything related to our past enemy should be reported immediately, there’s no right time when it comes to threat.” Mr. Kim reminded him, keeping his head hung low. “What do we know about this girl?” He asked.

“She’s not a threat, at least not yet.” Eunyeok responded, looking up at him.

“Mr. Sim gave out all his rookies an assignment about Park Jongseong and I can tell you we have to eliminate his sister as soon as possible, she knows way too much.” Mr. Kim informed him.

“We can’t eliminate her.” Eunyeok responded.

“Why is that?” He was asked.

“Sim Jaeyun is his mentor, she’s protected 24/7, we can’t tap her phone nor can we pinpoint the location she’s staying at.” Eunyeok responded again. “Her brain, it’s connected to her brother,” he added.

“Well then eliminate all the threats.” Mr. Kim said, turning around as he left Eunyeok all alone in his backyard.

2

“Jake didn’t tell you, did he?” Y/n asked.

“Tell me what?” Mr. Sim asked, looking at her with confusion.

“I just turned 18 when it happened. I was waiting for Jay to come home, but he never did. At 12am someone knocked on the door and I thought it was finally Jay, but it was Jake, he told me Jay got shot during work and he told me he’s gone. When I went to the hospital, hoping I could see my brother for one last time, they told me he’s unrecognizable and it’s better if I don’t see it. We had a close casket during his funeral. I didn’t fight with the general because I wanted to defend myself, I fought with him because I wanted him to accept that it was his fault and his brother’s fault why my brother’s case was never solved.” Y/n blurted out, fighting back her tears. 

“Y/n,” Mr. Sim mumbled quietly as he looked at her surprised. “Okay, I’m dismissing everyone, Ms. Y/n please stay.” He added. 

Waiting for everyone to leave the room, Y/n stood there quietly. 

“What do you know?” Mr. Sim asked quietly. 

“Everything Mr. Sim, everything.” Y/n responded. 

“Since when?” Mr. Sim asked. 

“Since one month after my brother’s death and I know his remains are missing because I got it dug out a year ago and it’s fucking empty, there’s no bones, nothing.” Y/n responded.

“Why didn’t you tell us sooner, you know I could’ve done something, Mr. Kim, I’m close to him, he’s superior to the general.” Mr. Sim stated.

“Sunoo’s father? He’s connected to Lee’s, he’s gonna get me killed if he ever finds out about it,” Y/n replied to him.

“What?” Mr. Sim asked, shocked. 

“You told him about my theory,” Y/n said, looking at him with tears in her eyes. “And now you know about it, you have to keep your mouth shut if you want to live.” she added as she turned her heels to leave, but stopped. 

“Mr. Sim, did you know how I felt when I was told that he’s gone? That my only family is gone.” Y/n spoke.

“Dad,” Jake said, entering the room as Y/n walked away. 

“I’m sorry,” Mr. Sim apologized as he saw how worried Jake looked when he saw Y/n. 

3

The car drive was silent, as no one decided to speak one word after what happened. Jake focused his eyes on the road but looks at Y/n every 5 minutes to make sure she’s fine. 

“I got my brother’s grave excavated last year.” Y/n spoke, breaking the silence between her and Jake.

“What did you say?” Jake asked, taking a left turn to park his car in an empty alley. 

“You know, when I was told that I can’t see his dead body I trusted their words, and turned blind eye. Then I found the box a month later, and that’s when I started having doubts. I submitted in court that I want his grave excavated but for some reasons it keeps getting denied, it’s like the government is trying to hide something from me. But then last year when I got it excavated, I bribed the judge with a large sum of money and I got a response by the next 24 hours. His coffin’s empty. There’s no remains, not even one bone to prove we buried someone.” Y/n informed him. 

“What are you insinuating?” Jake asked.

“I don’t think my brother died that night. I know it sounds crazy, but my gut is telling me something’s not right.” Y/n responded, looking at him. “JAKE!” Y/n screamed seeing a car stopped beside them and men with rifles came out, before he could react they started shooting, making him hug her.

“FUCK! GET OUT OF THE CAR!” Jake exclaimed, feeling a bullet hit him in his shoulder as he helped Y/n open the car door, before starting to shoot at them. 

“JAKE!” Y/n yelled in fear, as she pulled him to help him get out of the car. 

“FUCK WAY TOO MANY! RUN Y/N!” Jake yelled at her.

“NO, I’M NOT LEAVING YOU!” Y/n yelled back, pulling out her gun from her holster as she started shooting at them, helping him. 

Y/n and Jake shot all of them dead. 

“Jake, you’re bleeding,” Y/n uttered, grabbing a clean cloth from the car as she made him sit on the floor, pressing the clean cloth on his wounded shoulder. Jake wrapped his right arm on her waist to pull her closer to him, hugging her tight as she cried on his chest.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone hurt you,” Jake whispered in her ear, pecking her forehead. 

“What the fuck happened!?” Sunghoon asked loudly as he came out of his car. 

“We got attacked,” Jake responded, as Sunghoon helped them both up.

“By who?” Sunghoon asked, guiding both of them to his car. 

“Could be Eunyeok,” Y/n responded, getting inside the car with Jake, her hands still pressed on his wounded shoulder as Sunghoon drove away from the scene. 

4

Y/n and Sunghoon waited outside the OR as they waited for the surgeons to remove the bullet from his shoulder. 

“What the fuck happened!?” Jungwon asked, running towards them with Sunoo and Heeseung running behind him.

“We came as soon as we heard, they’re currently identifying the bodies of your attackers and gladly there's CCTV in the area.” Heeseung informed them.

“Thank you, chief.” Y/n spoke, her first time respecting Heeseung. 

“Well that’s the first time,” Sunoo said quietly, earning a playful smack from Sunghoon. 

As Heeseung was about to say something, the doctors came out of the OR and Sunghoon ran up to them.

“How is he?” Sunghoon asked. 

“Don’t worry, he’s fine now and he’s stable. You can meet him. Now if you’ll excuse me.” The doctor responded, smiling at them as he took his leave, while Y/n stared at his back as he walked away from there.

“Y/n, come on let’s go.” Sunghoon said, pulling her with him inside Sunghoon’s private ward. 

As they entered the ward, they found him already up and Y/n can’t help but run his arms. 

“Oh god, baby, it’s okay now.” Jake whispered in her ear, as she hugged him really tight as if he's gonna disappear at any second. 

“Damn, I thought you were gonna die, and I’ll have to deal with her ass.” Sunghoon said, as he fist bumped Jake who’s smiling at them. 

“I can’t leave her yet, and no you can’t deal with her ass, I won’t let it happen this ass is mine.” Jake responded, as his hands traveled in her ass, squeezing it, earning a disgusted look from them as Y/n smacked him playfully. 

“You’re so fucking dirty.” Jungwon said, looking at him with a disgusted face. 

CHAPTER 2 - 3

CHAPTER 4

1

“Find me information about that Park Y/n,” Eunyeok said, entering his newly built mansion from the money he got from the drug dealings. 

“Yes sir.” His assistant said, watching him go inside his office. 

As Eunyeok went inside his office he found his brother, waiting for him. 

“Oh Lee Heeseung, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen you here.” Eunyeok said, greeting his brother. 

“Leave Jay’s little sister out of it.” Heeseung said, not wasting any time.

“Why not, it’ll be fun, besides we need someone to spy again.” Eunyeok replied, pouring whiskey on his glass. 

“Not her, she’s just 21, she’s basically still a little girl.” Heeseung argued. 

“Oh baby brother, not the girl, Jake.” Eunyeok replied back, offering a glass of whiskey to Heeseung to which he declined. 

“I don’t drink whiskey, and what do you want Jake for,” Heeseung replied. 

“To spy, I can use Y/n to make him say yes,” Eunyeok responded, taking a sip of his Macallan 1926 whiskey.

“You think Jake will say yes, if you threaten him with Y/n?” Heeseung asked, confused.

“Don’t you see it? The way he looks at her, the way he’s protecting her and the way he took her as his rookie after declining offers for 3 years just because he saw her.” Eunyeok said, smirking.

“Whatever it is that you’re thinking, you’re wrong, he must’ve promised Jay something,” Heeseung argued. “And besides, how will you threaten him? He knows a lot of things, he can threaten you back.” He added. 

Eunyeok chuckled, putting down his glass of whisky on his work desk. “Heeseung, I’m the general of our department for some reasons, and how will I threaten him? I’ll put his rookie in our prosti circle and threaten to sell her to our dealers.” He replied.

“You’re fucking crazy, and ours? It’s yours, I don’t want any of your dirty money.” Heeseung argued.

“You might be forgetting something, I made you into a chief, you should be thankful.” Eunyeok said. 

“You know what, I'd rather kiss someone’s ass than be the chief of that stupid paid department, no wonder we can’t solve that serial killer case.” Heeseung argued back as he slammed the door shut, going out of his office. 

2

It’s 3am yet Jake’s mind is still alive. He tossed and turned, but sleepiness is just not taking over him. Jake sighed, facing Y/n’s side. Smiling as he saw her sleeping peacefully, mouth a little open, soft snores coming out of it. Removing strands of her hair from her face, he observed her sleep peacefully. 

“I’m sorry I couldn’t save your brother.” Jake whispered silently, making sure he didn't wake her up. “I told him I’ll protect you once he accepts the job.” He added. “I should’ve told him I’ll pay for it, instead of assuring him I’ll protect you.” Jake sighed, pulling Y/n closer towards him. “You know, when you were like 5 years old, I saw you cry because Jay isn’t going to the same school as you and to make you stop crying he told you he’s getting you a plushie.” Jake said quietly. “After senior highschool, I thought we were going in the same university, but instead he wanted to take care of you, his little princess, I moved out, far from him and years later we met again, and he told me that you get sick easily, he needed money for your school, and later he told me you’re really sick and needed money for your surgery and I told him to take the job, I wished I never told him that, I felt like I failed as his trainer, I let him take the dangerous job and I wished I didn’t, I wished I told him I’ll cover the surgery and be with you.” Jake recalled. 

Jake put his arms around her and pulled her closer to his chest to hug her. “I’m sorry,” Jake whispered, apologizing, kissing the crown of her head as he remembered how much Jay had cared for her. Soon tiredness took over him and he fell asleep, hugging her tightly. 

3

Jake woke up early in the morning as he heard his alarm ringing, looking beside him, Y/n’s in the same position as last night. Turning off his alarm, he tried removing Y/n’s arms around his waist, making Y/n groan in her sleep as she kept mumbling something. Jake listened to her carefully as he tried putting his ear near her, it broke him as he heard her clearly. 

“Jay, don’t leave.” Y/n mumbled. 

“Hey little one, wake up.” Jake said, shaking her to wake her up. But she just kept mumbling for Jay not to leave her. Jake controlled his tears that’s threatening to fall, he stayed like that until he heard her snoring softly again. 

Getting up from the bed, he grabbed clothes from his closet before going inside the bathroom. 

Y/n woke up, hearing the shower running from the bathroom. Sitting up. She dreamt of Jay again, covering her face with her hands as she tried not to cry. She stayed in that position until the bathroom door lock clicked, and Jake came out of the shower. 

“Goodmorning, little one.” Jake greeted, smiling at her.

“Goodmorning,” Y/n said, getting up from the bed, to grab her towel. And as she’s about to grab her clothes, she glances at Jake’s shirt from the closet. 

“You can take any of my shirts, if that makes you feel comfortable and come to the kitchen right after you freshen up I have to ask you something.” Jake said, ruffling her hair before coming out of the room.

Jake went to the kitchen and saw Sunghoon making breakfast. 

“Who told you to move around?” Jake asked. 

“Goodmorning to you too, I’m making breakfast, your fridge is full.” Sunghoon replied, smiling.

“Take a seat, I’ll do it, you’re in pain.” Jake told him.

“No, I’m not in - ouch, what the fuck was that for!” Sunghoon retorted, looking at Jake with wide eyes.

“See you’re in pain, now sit your ass down before I poke it harder.” Jake warned Sunghoon.

“It’s been awhile since I saw your fridge full and there’s a lot of apple juice.” Sunghoon said, taking a seat as he drank his coffee.

“Yeah, Y/n insisted.” Jake replied. 

“Have you thought about what I told you last night?” Sunghoon asked. 

“What did you tell him last night?” Y/n asked as she came out of the room, drying her hair.

“Oh maybe you can drive or maybe you want a place for yourself.” Sunghoon replied, looking at Jake teasingly.

“I can drive, but a place for myself? No thank you.” Y/n replied. 

“Great, you can take my Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG,” Sunghoon responded, taking another sip of his coffee. 

“I don’t think that’s a great idea.” Jake said, interrupting the two as he handed Y/n a glass of her apple juice. 

“That’s actually a great idea.” Y/n said, nodding her head.

“See she likes it,” Sunghoon said, still teasing Jake.

“The car is way too big for her.” Jake said.

“Are you saying I’m small?” Y/n asked, glaring at Jake.

“No, it’s just that,” Jake replied, trying to think of an excuse.

Sunghoon chuckled. “Don’t worry Jake it’s not my car, it was actually Jay’s,” he said, saying the last sentence as quietly as possible. 

“Then I want it.” Y/n said, looking at Jake.

“Fine, just don’t drive recklessly.” Jake replied.

“Thank you thank you thank you!” Y/n exclaimed happily as she jumped on Jake hugging him happily. 

“You know I’m still here,” Sunghoon said, reminding them that he’s also there.

As Jake leaves for work, Sunghoon takes Y/n with him, so she can take Jay’s car.

“What happened to you last night?” Y/n asked, breaking the ice between her and Sunghoon.

“Nothing, I got into a fight,” Sunghoon replied, focusing his eyes on the road.

“Doesn’t seem like a fight if you got a big cut on your stomach,” Y/n affirmed, looking at Sunghoon who’s only focused on driving.

“It’s really just a fight.” Sunghoon argued. 

“What was it that you dropped?” Y/n asked, making Sunghoon divert his attention to her.

“What?” Sunghoon asked, confused.

“Last night, I heard it, before I closed the office door.” Y/n informed him. 

“It’s nothing,” Sunghoon replied. 

“Jake said, you’ll get it back.” Y/n argued. 

Sunghoon didn’t reply or argue any further as he continued driving. 

Arriving at his place, the gate opened automatically. 

“You’re rich.” Y/n said.

“I’m not, my father is.” Sunghoon asserted. 

“But it’s your place.” Y/n argued.

“Yeah, but I don’t stay here, not anymore. Too big to live alone here.” Sunghoon said.

Sunghoon guided Y/n inside. It’s a big mansion, marble tiles, white and gray tone walls, leather sofa and family portraits could be seen. 

“I can see myself living here.” Y/n said, smiling brightly.

“I would’ve offered you this place, but I know Jake isn’t gonna let it happen.” Sunghoon responded, looking at her.

“Why not?” Y/n asked. 

“Cause you put yourself in Lee’s radar, now follow me.” Sunghoon told her, walking towards the car garage with Y/n following behind him.

“Who is Lee?” Y/n asked.

“It’s better you know less, don’t dig your grave deeper than it already is, Jake will do anything to protect you, if he has to catch a bullet for you, he’ll do it no hesitation, I don’t want to lose my friend so you better stop asking about him, just focus on the case.” Sunghoon told her.

As they reached the car garage, there’s a lot of car models, ferrari, BMW, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Jeep, Chevrolet, Tesla, Porsche and more, including her brother’s Mercedes-Benz. 

“Where did you get all this?” Y/n asked.

“They’re not mine, it’s my deceased father’s cars, he got it from his drug dealings, he’s an ass, dirty money, that’s why I don’t like this place, the only reason I stayed here was because of your brother, he stayed here during the time he had to take that dangerous job.” Sunghoon responded, looking at her.

“Where’s his car?” Y/n asked.

“It’s that one,” Sunghoon informed her, pointing at the Mercedes-Benz. 

Y/n went near it, touching the car, she never remembered getting in this car, not even once, she never saw him drive it. 

“I know Jake will get mad at me for this, but I can give you the last files Jay worked with, if you’re really curious about it, and Jay left a lot of his clothes here, do you want it?” Sunghoon asked, approaching her. 

“I want all of it,” Y/n responded, as she continued to look at the car. 

“Just tell me if you want a place to yourself, I can get it, I can get the keys to your brother’s house.” Sunghoon said, making Y/n divert her attention to him.

“He doesn’t own a house,” Y/n said.

“He does, the keys are in his drawer. I can get it for you, and give you the directions, just tell me.” Sunghoon replied.

“I want everything that my brother used to own.” Y/n stated, looking at his eyes.

CHAPTER 5

1

Jake arrived at their department and everyone greeted him with a smile and he did the same thing. 

“Good morning Mr. Sim, is Y/n not coming?” Jungwon said, greeting Jake.

“Don’t be so formal, you can call me Jake, and Y/n might not come today.” Jake responded, smiling at him. A smile they haven’t seen in 3 years.

“Oh why?” Jungwon asked.

“She just has to work on something,” Jake responded. “Anyways I have a meeting to attend, if you’ll excuse me.” He added, before going inside the meeting office.

As soon as he entered he was greeted with Eunyeok’s smug grin, a smug grin he wished he could snatch away from his face.

“Ms. Y/n isn’t here today,” Eunyeok said, looking around.

“She’s not coming, I gave her work to do.” Jake responded, coldly. 

“Yeah, what type of work?” Eunyeok asked.

“That’s none of your business, now can we get to the meeting? I have important work to do after this.” Jake said, irritated. 

“Okay, so a new dead body was found this morning, at a park, and we have a weapon.” Eunyeok said, chuckling. “That serial killer finally made a mistake, Heeseung, send this to the lab,” Eunyeok said as he handed the weapon to Heeseung. 

“So where are we?” Eunyeok asked, as the meeting continued about the serial killer. “So any questions?” Eunyeok asked before ending their meeting. 

“So Y/n was right, wasn’t she,” Jake said, looking at him. 

Eunyeok chuckled, and said, “So?” 

“Apologize,” Jake said, standing up from his seat to take his leave.

“Y/n? What are you doing here?” Jungwon asked, seeing Y/n entering their department building. 

“Oh, I just forgot some stuff and I have to print documents,” Y/n responded.

“Y/n?” Jake asked, surprised to see Y/n.

“Hey, I have to grab my laptop and I have to print out some documents.” Y/n said, before she gets interrogated by him.

“Oh Ms. Y/n you’re here!” Eunyeok exclaimed as he saw her after coming out of the meeting office. “You were right! You’re as brilliant as your brother, why don’t you come with me and we can have a talk,” Eunyeok added. 

Y/n smiled, that soon turned into a glare, “Why? So you can get me killed or so you can put me in your prosti circle?” She asserted, approaching him slowly. His smile faded. “Don’t fucking play with me you dirty general, I’m not a weak girl, so how about instead of sending someone to tail me around, work on your case and maybe you can solve the serial killer case.” She added, Jake holding her back. 

“You know nothing you cunt,” Eunyeok said, glaring at her.

“I know a lot, that’s why your assistant is in the hospital for trying to break inside Sunghoon’s mansion.” Y/n said, shaking Jake’s grip on her arms before leaving them there speechless. 

Jake followed Y/n, “Y/N!” Jake called out. Stopping and turning around, she faced him, “I’ll make sure Sunghoon gets back what’s his.” Y/n said only loud enough for him to hear. 

Y/n left Jake speechless, as he stood there frozen. His fist clenched, what did Sunghoon tell her? 

Y/n drove back to Sunghoon’s mansion as soon as she got what she needed. Entering the mansion she saw Sunghoon cleaning the mess from earlier. 

“What are you doing here?” Sunghoon asked, confused as to why she’s back there and how she remembered the directions.

Y/n threw the evidence in front of him, the evidence she stole from their department lab. Sunghoon’s eyes widened, looking at her shock.

“I don’t know what you’re up to, but whatever it is, stop it, that’s the thing you dropped.” Y/n said, turning around to take her leave. 

Y/n started the car engine as she started driving again, towards her brother’s house. 

3

Jake stormed inside Sunghoon’s place, slamming the door open and slamming it close, startling Sunghoon who’s still cleaning the mess. 

“What the fuck happened?” Sunghoon asked, shocked to see a very mad Jake.

Jake grabbed Sunghoon by his collar and asked, “what the fuck did you tell Y/n?”

“Calm the fuck down, I didn’t tell her anything,” Sunghoon replied to Jake calmly, as he tried removing his tight grip on his collar.

“She fucking knows about Lee, more than she’s supposed to know.” Jake argued, finally letting him go.

“What?” Sunghoon asked.

“She knows about him, more than she’s supposed to, she knows everything.” Jake said.

“She was here, she knows about what happened the other night,” Sunghoon informed Jake.

“She was the one who opened the door, of course she knows about it,” Jake replied.

“No, she knows about my knife, she fucking stole it from the lab,” Sunghoon said, Jake looking at him with wide eyes.

“What do you mean?” Jake asked.

Sunghoon showed Jake the evidence Y/n had stolen from the lab, a pocket knife inside a plastic bag. 

“Goddamit, now where is she,” Jake said, ruffling his hair in frustration. 

“She’s on her way to Jay’s house,” Sunghoon replied.

“Jay doesn’t own a house,” Jake replied, looking at Sunghoon confused.

“He does, it’s somewhere far here, inside a garden, he left me the keys, and I gave it to her,” Sunghoon informed him.

Jake sighed, massaging his temple. 

“This is why she doesn’t need a car,” Jake said. “Now tell me about the assistant,” Jake said.

“Oh, Lee’s assistant, he's in the hospital, Y/n broke both his arms and maybe his nose,” Sunghoon said calmly.

“Say what now?” Jake asked him with wide eyes.

“Yeah, she almost killed him, she’s a tough one, like Jay,” Sunghoon claimed.

Lee slammed his office door open, seeing a file on his desk, he went to get it and read it. 

“Goddammit!” Lee exclaimed as he threw the file on the floor.

“Park Y/n who the fuck are you?” Lee asked himself, as he poured himself some whiskey. 

“Sir,” 

“What the fuck happened to you?” Eunyeok asked his assistant, seeing him all bruised with broken arms.

“That little girl did it,” his assistant informed him, as Eunyeok looked at him with wide eyes.

“What do you mean a 21 yr old did this to you? Are you fucking lying to me!? She’s a fucking tiny girl! How will she do that to you!?” Eunyeok yelled, throwing his glass of whiskey on the floor. “And what the fuck are those files!? There’s nothing!” Eunyeok yelled. 

“Sir, there’s nothing to find about Y/n, that’s all, she was in highschool and she joined the academy after her brother’s death,” His assistant replied to him. “It looks like Jay had left her something that we don’t know, that’s why she knows a lot,” his assistant added. 

“That could be something, but how is she as strong as Jay,” Eunyeok said. 

5

Y/n arrived at the place. It's a medium sized house in the middle of a garden. 

She unlocked the door, it’s a cozy home. Looking around she remembered about the time her brother asked her about her dream home.

“Princess, what's your dream home?” Jay asked as he cuddled Y/n closer to him.

“Hmmm, I want a cozy home.” Y/n replied enthusiastically, making Jay chuckled at her cute behavior. 

“Cozy home?” Jay asked, looking at her.

“Yeah, you know, not so big, but not small either, and the walls should be gray, the tiles blue, the couch beige and then there should be a nice kitchen, nice bedrooms, then on the walls family portraits, then I want a bathtub in the bathroom.” Y/n described, smiling at her brother.

Looking around the house, her tears pooling in her eyes as she realized that it’s the same description she gave her brother. 

Her tears streamed down her cheeks like a river as she saw a picture of him and her, taking the frame in her hands, she put it close to her chest as she sobbed, she remembers everything.

“It’s 8pm and your brother is still not here?” Her friend asked her.

“He must be busy,” Y/n replied sadly.

Y/n waited for her brother to come, it’s her 18th birthday. 12am when there’s a knock on her door. Y/n opened it happily, just to see Jake.

“Jake? Where’s Jay?” Y/n asked.

“Can I come in?” Jake asked, and Y/n nodded, letting Jake in.

“It’s my 18th birthday, but Jay is still not here, he told me he’ll be home by 6pm but he’s still not here,” Y/n uttered quietly.

“Happy birthday,” Jake greeted, smiling at her.

“It’s 12am,” Y/n said. “Where’s Jay though? Is he parking the car?” Y/n asked.

“Something happened during work,” Jake informed her, and she just looked at him, waiting for him to tell her what happened. “Jay was shot, during work,” Jake blurted out.

“But he’s fine right?” Y/n asked, it happened before, Jay survived during that time.

“Y/n, he was shot multiple times,” Jake said.

“Yeah, but he’s fine right?” Y/n asked, tears pooling in her eyes.

“I’m sorry Y/n, we rushed him to the hospital, but he didn’t make it, he’s gone.” Jake announced.

Tears streamed down her face, shaking her head, mumbling no’s. 

“Jay, I’m sorry,” Y/n said, hugging the frame closer to her chest as she continued to sob. 

“It’s not your fault, little one.” Jake said, hugging her from behind as he looked at Sunghoon.
