Jungkook
Taehyung and I arrive back at the dorm as the two of us struggle to carry the bags. We were only supposed to buy some food for tomorrow’s surprise party but we ended up buying a lot of snacks too – not that anyone is going to complain. ‘Ahh I still can’t believe we’re going to be sharing the dorm with three girls all of a sudden.’ Taehyung says smiling. It's clear he's quite happy ... we all are. The girls bring something new and fun and this way we'll get to spend more time with them.
‘It’s definitely going to be different and we definitely need to start knocking before entering bathrooms.’ I say and he nods.
‘Don’t look at me, I always knock.’ He replies with a chuckle as he unlocks the front door. We walk inside but the two of us freeze on the spot. Jimin is tied to the door with zip ties, looking completely out of it. The glass table is broken as is the bookshelf. There definitely has been a fight here...
‘Jimin!’ Taehyung yells as he drops the bags onto the floor and rushes to his side. I drop the bags as well as I follow him. Taehyung is touching Jimin’s face as he groans. I kneel down and grab a piece of glass. ‘Careful with that.’ Taehyung warns me as I begin to cut through the zip ties.
‘Min-ji.’ He groans out painfully. My heart skips a beat and my eyes go wide. Taehyung and I exchange a look before I look back at Jimin who is starting to come back to his senses.
‘Hyung! Where’s Minji? Where’s my sister?’ I ask, my voice raising in pitch. Taehyung helps him to stand up as he looks at me with broken eyes. Please…. please let her be okay! Please don't let it be what I think it is!
‘She… she went with him… to keep me alive.’ He says as he starts to cry. For a moment, I feel the world starting to spin around me and I have to hold to the furniture to not fall down. Questions feel as if they are stuck on the tip of my tongue before I manage to overcome the shock and my brain starts to work again.
‘No… no.’ I say, shaking my head. Things start to fall in place – someone came in here, there was a fight and she surrendered to keep Jimin alive. No… I refuse to believe that psycho has my sister. This can’t be happening!
‘It doesn’t make sense. If he wanted to kill her why didn’t he just do it? Why did he take her with him?’ Taehyung asks, looking at the two of us. He’s right.... Oh God what if he wants to torture her or rape her before killing her? Oh God....
‘He said something about wanting answers. We have to call Adam and her father.’ Jimin begins, tears staining his face and I nod. I look at him as he can barely keep upright.
‘You do that. I’ll call Bang. Jungkook you call Jin and Yoongi – let them know what is going on.’ Taehyung instructs. I nod as I take out my phone and find Jin’s number while I go to the corner. I wait for a few seconds before he answers.
‘Hey Kook. You’re on speaker. How’s everyone at the house?’ Jin asks cheerfully.
‘Hyung… he has Minji…. He has my sister.’ I say, breaking into tears as soon as the words leave my mouth. It feels as if I have been hit with a truck as the full realization hits me. I rest against the wall, trying to keep my balance. I feel so lightheaded right now.
‘What... what did you say?’ Hoseok asks but I can barely speak up. I look over at Jimin who is also struggling to speak. ‘Jungkook… what’s going on? What happened?’ He asks again.
‘I don’t know hyung. Taehyung and I went to buy groceries. Jimin and Minji decided to stay in and Yoongi and Yun went out. Taehyung and I came back and found him tied to the door. He said Minji went with him to keep him alive. He’s calling Adam and her father and Taehyung is calling Bang.’ I explain.
‘We’ll be right there Jungkook. Don’t worry… they’ll find her. She’s wearing the tracker remember?’ Namjoon asks. My head snaps up as I realize he’s right. She’s wearing the bracelet – Adam can track her – we can find her.
‘You’re right. I forgot about that for a moment. Please hurry hyung.’ I say, my voice sounding like a desperate plea.
‘We’ll be there soon Jungkook. We’ll call Yoongi. They can probably reach you before we can.’ Jin says and I nod. Jin hangs up and I return next to the others. Jimin goes to move but I see his legs giving in as he stumbles.
‘Hyung!’ I call out as I reach for his arms, keeping him from falling. ‘Are you okay?’ I ask. My mouth is dry and I feel as if I have swallowed a bag of sand. Jimin shakes his head and I lead him to the couch. He sits down and lowers his head between his legs. I'm worried and scared but I know Jimin must be terrified as well. ‘We’re going to find her hyung. You know my sister – she’s the toughest girl we know.’ I say, trying to comfort him even though I feel so afraid myself. I have never felt so afraid in my whole life, not even when I was drowning. I wasn’t even aware of what was happening and Minji had saved my life… Minji had saved me.
I see the busted lip and bruise forming on Jimin’s forehead. He’s as pale as a ghost right now and he looks like he is about to be sick. He doesn’t look like the Jimin I know. The Jimin I know is someone strong and full of light and happiness but right now he looks like someone who’s about to break any moment so I know I have to be strong for him. He looks at me and I pull him into a hug. ‘I tried Jungkook… I tried to protect her but I failed.’ He cries into my chest.
‘I know you did hyung. She’s wearing the tracker. Adam will find her and we’ll save her. You said he wanted answers from her – that means she’s not dead yet. That buys us time.’ I tell him and I feel him nod.
‘Bang is on his way. Jimin, I’ll get you some ice for your head.’ Taehyung says but Jimin shakes his head and lets out an involuntary groan as he does so. It's clear he's in pain, even if he doesn't say so. He's more focused on Minji.
‘I can’t think about that right now. I just want us to find Minji.’ He says as he stands up and I sigh.
‘Hyung I am as scared as you are trust me. She’s my sister but you won’t be able to help her if you’re not well.’ I say and he sighs as he does sit down with a frown. Taehyung goes to the kitchen and a few seconds returns with a bag of frozen peas and a towel. He wraps the towel against the bag and presses it against Jimin’s forehead. Jimin winces at the touch.
‘Sorry.’ Taehyung says softly just as I hear the front door opening. I look up and see Yoongi and Yun running in, both of them out of breath. Wherever they were, they must have taken off with a run. I know how much Yoongi cares for my sister and Yun is her best friend. I see the worry written all over their faces.
‘What happened? Joon called and said something about Minji being taken.’ Yoongi says as he looks at us with wide eyes. I want to answer but I feel as if I have lost my voice all of a sudden. I feel the more I say it, the more real it becomes - the more frightening and nerve wrecking. I look over at Yun who is staring at us, a single tear rolling down her cheek. She’s gripping against the furniture, slightly shaking her head. Yoongi’s eyes go to Jimin and I see him gulp. ‘What’s wrong? What happened to you?’ He asks as he approaches us.
‘He hit me with his gun to knock me out.’ Jimin replies.
Within half an hour, the living room was full of people. Namjoon and Jin arrived with Hoseok and Yoona who is sitting in her wheelchair. Minji’s father had also arrived with Adam. He looks like he is trying to keep himself calm even though he is agitated.
‘What happened? I know you’re in pain and you’re scared but we need to know. Start from the beginning.’ Minji’s father says to Jimin while Adam sits down on the couch next to him, typing away on his laptop as he begins to track her.
‘We were here, in the living room watching a movie and talking. We heard a loud noise and both of us stood. We were going to move but he came in. He was wearing a mask but Minji recognized him. He was the same hitman who tried to kill noona, hyung and her at the hospital.’ Jimin explains.
‘What happened this morning forced him to act quickly – quicker than we anticipated.’ Mr. Kyung says to Adam who nods. ‘Go on. What happened then?’ He asks.
‘I… I tried to protect Minji by going in front of her. He threw a knife at me and she pushed me out of the way. He slapped her and she fell onto the glass table. I pushed him into the bookshelf there.’ Jimin explains as he points to the broken furniture. ‘But I struggled. She was going to come and fight him but he just wrapped his arm around my neck and pointed a gun to my head so she stopped.’ He explains. I gulp at the thought of it. I can't help but imagine the scene - Minji staring in horror as she sees the person she loves with a gun to his head. I imagine my hyung in that position and I feel my heart squeeze at the thought that he was so close to being killed. ‘He told her he would not kill me if she went with him. He wanted answers.’ Jimin says. Mr. Kyung and Adam look at each other - a look that scares me.
‘What? What's wrong? What’s that look for? ’ I ask, getting alarmed. I see Mr. Kyung gulp and Adam sighs as he pinches his nose.
‘They might be suspecting that someone ratted them out. They’ll want information from her and we all know how stubborn Minji is. She won’t just blurt it out and put someone's life at risk.’ Adam says.
‘Wait are you saying he might torture her for information?’ Yoongi asks. Adam doesn’t say anything and I gasp. My legs go weak as I lose my balance and fall onto the couch. The very thought of that makes me sick. Jin is beside me and he places his hand on my knee, trying to comfort me but I can see his face twisting at the thought as well.
‘Adam how’s the tracking going?’ Mr. Kyung asks, avoiding Yoongi's question. There’s a new urgency in his voice.
‘Almost there.’ Adam responds as he types furiously. We stay silent for a moment until Adam jumps up. ‘Found them. They’re still in Seoul. They’re at the old abandoned train station.’ He says as he straightens up and Mr. Kyung stands. ‘I’ll call the team.’ Adam says adds as he leaves the room to go and make the call.
‘I’m coming with you.’ Jimin says, standing up and looking at Mr. Kyung who shakes his head. All eyes turn on Jimin. I see the look of determination in his eyes and I know he won't accept no for an answer.
‘No, you’re not Jimin. I know you love her and want to be there but this is not a place for you. It's too dangerous.’ Mr. Kyung is quick to reply. By now I am also standing up.
‘I don’t care what you say. I am coming with you. She’s my girlfriend. She went with him to protect me and I’ll be damned if I don’t go to her.’ Jimin says, his voice slightly raised. I’ve never heard him so forceful, especially with someone older and someone he deeply respects but I am glad he is doing so.
‘I’m coming too and don’t try to change my mind. She’s my sister and we should be there.’ I say, trying to sound convincing.
‘I’ll come too. Minji is my friend and we could help.’ Taehyung says.
‘Namjoon and Jin-hyung can stay with Hoseok and the girls. Taehyung and I will keep an eye on Jimin and Jungkook. You have my word.’ Yoongi says. I know what he’s doing, he’s trying to help us but also give Mr. Kyung something less to worry about. Mr. Kyung smiles a bit and then nods.
‘Fine but on one condition. When we go inside to get her, you stay outside. My priority is Minji and I cannot afford to worry about your safety too, understood?’ He asks. I nod and I see the others nodding as well. 'Good because if any of you get hurt, Minji will have my head.' He adds and for a moment, I find myself smiling a bit. He's confident - that's a good sign right? Or is it to hide his worries? But no ... this is what they do... he knows what they're doing. We can save my sister.
Yoongi turns to Namjoon and Jin. I look at the eldest hyungs and our leader as they almost seem to communicate with their eyes before Jin breaks the silence. ‘Yah! Don’t do anything reckless and listen to what they tell you to do.’ Jin says. I see the worry in his eyes but I nod.
‘We will hyung. We just want to be there when they get Minji out.’ I say and I see Namjoon nodding.
‘Go bring her home.’ Namjoon says. I look at Hoseok who is also nodding at us.
Minji
As soon as we left the dorm, Sun Jung-Hwan shoved me into his car. He zip tied my hands together behind my back and drove off. The car ride has been silent and although I’ve been trying to calm myself, my heart is beating like crazy. Being trapped in a car with a killer while being taken to some mystery place can scare anyone and I am scared.
My mind races to Jimin. Jimin is safe. He’s hurt but alive. I know he’s probably scared and mad at me at the same time but I had to do it. I had to save him. Sun Jung-Hwan’s real target is me, not him and I can’t lose him. I can’t lose another important person from my life which meant I needed to do everything I could to protect him.
Still, I have hope. I’m still wearing my bracelet which means they can track me. I just need to survive long enough and buy them time to do so. The car comes to a stop and Jung-Hwan gets out. He takes out his gun again as he opens my door and pulls me out. He starts pushing me forward, his gun forced against my back.
‘Move and no funny tricks or I won’t just kill you.’ He warns me – telling me that if I don’t listen, he’ll make me regret it. I look around as I realize we’re at the old railway station.
‘So, this is where you’ve been hiding out?’ I ask. Keeping my mouth shut has never been my strongest virtue. This place is one of those places in Seoul that not many people visit so it’s not a surprise. It’s the old railway which has been long been abandoned. There are still some old trains and sometimes homeless people come and sleep here so at least they’ll have some shelter.
‘Don’t talk unless I tell you to.’ He orders as he suddenly pushes me. I let myself fall to the ground. I let out a “yelp” as I grab a small but sharp stone and quickly hide it as much as possible. ‘Get up.’ He yells as he pulls me from my hair. He leads me to one of the old trains as he pushes me inside.
There’s a nasty smell of mould and decay and dust – not surprising actually considering everything. ‘Sit down.’ He orders as he points to the metal chair. I sit down as he looks at me, his gun still in his hand. ‘You and I are going to have a bit of a conversation.’ He says as he comes in front of me.
‘Yes… so you have told me.’ I say. I know I need to keep talking but I do need to be careful in the way I provoke him. I need to buy myself more time not drive him mad to the point of wanting to shoot me dead. He chuckles a bit, seemingly amused.
‘You’re not the typical prey.’ He says. Great… now I’m being compared to some hunted animal… ‘A girl, your age would usually be crying hysterically, begging me to let her go. You’re calm… too calm and it makes me think you might have something up your sleeve.’ He says, eyeing me.
‘What can I possibly have? You came into my home uninvited, threatened to kill my boyfriend and in return I came with you. What tricks can I pull from here?’ I ask. As I say so I use the stone to try and cut through the zip tie without drawing his attention.
‘I don’t trust you but let’s get down to business. At the hospital – how did you know about the plan? Who told you?’ He asks. Ah so this is what this is about – they are suspecting that there is a traitor and are expecting me to provide the answers.
‘No one. I kind of had a gut feeling that the accident wasn’t an accident so I was being careful.’ I say. Slap! He hits me right across the face, drawing blood from my lips. I feel it sting and redden.
‘Don’t play games with me Minji. You’re smart but not that smart. Someone must have told you.’ He says but I don’t say anything. ‘What about the cops? No one has ever found out about me so how did they find out about me so quickly?’ He asks. He’s getting angry which isn’t the best of signs.
‘How should I know that? Why don’t you ask them?’ I reply as I manage to cut through the zip tie. I keep my hands behind my back to try and not show him.
‘Let’s see how brave you are now.’ He says as he suddenly pulls his gun and aims at me. ‘I’m going to ask you one last time. Who is helping you?’ He asks.
‘My father and the police. Who else?’ I ask. He looks irritated and he takes a step closer to me when suddenly I hear a lot of noises. For the first time tonight, I see him look confused about what is going. He is no longer in control which means right now is the most crucial moment. Right now might be the most dangerous moment of all. He almost seems to panic as he suddenly picks me up.
‘What did you do? How did they find us so quickly?’ He asks, his voice raised. For someone who knows how to kill, he is sure scared of getting caught or killed. I don’t respond and before I know it, I find myself in the same position that Jimin was in earlier. He has his arm wrapped around my neck and his gun pointing to my head. I keep my hands together, pretending they are still tied together just as I see Appa and Adam rush in with their team, their guns raised.
‘Appa!’ I call out. His eyes fix on me and in them I can see security and safety. He won’t let me get hurt.
‘Let her go Sun Jung-Hwan.’ Adam speaks calmly. ‘This place is surrounded. You can’t escape so don’t make things worse for you.’ Adam warns him.
‘The only reason you’re here is because of her. She did something. That’s why she was willing to come with me so quickly. She tricked me. She tried to trap me.’ Jung-Hwan says. He’s at a breaking point and I realize just how much this situation made him snap. I feel him press the gun harder to my temple.
‘No, she did it to save her boyfriend not trap you.’ Appa says. Jimin… ‘You kill her, we will shoot you down.’ He adds.
‘I am not going down alone.’ He says. I close my eyes for a moment as I take a calming breath. Breathe Minji…
‘You know what your problem is? You always underestimate me.’ I say as I use all my force to elbow him in the stomach. He hunches and I turn and grab his hand. I twist it and throw the gun to the floor as Adam and Appa hurry to our side. Adam is quick to shove Jung-Hwan to the floor as he handcuffs him while Appa hurries to me.
‘Minji! Are you okay? Are you hurt?’ He asks.
‘I’m okay. Did you find Jimin? Is he okay?’ I ask and I see him smile a bit.
'At this rate, it won't take too long for you two to get married.' He says and I look at him slightly confused. 'He's safe and worried sick about you.' He adds. 'That boy really does love you.' He adds with a slight warm smile.
Jimin
Jungkook, Taehyung, Yoongi and I are behind the line of cops who are at the ready with their guns. I can’t help but feel anxious and scared. What if we’re too late? What if he has hurt her? What if... he killed her? ‘They’re going to get her out Jimin.’ Yoongi says, trying to calm me down. I look over at Jungkook who has his eyes fixed on the train and for the first time tonight I seem to realize how scared he must be as well. For the past hour or so, I had forgotten that she is his sister... I could only think of my own fear.
I turn my eyes back to the train. It takes everything in me to not just go in there but I made a promise to her father. Besides, if I act recklessly, I could take away any chance of them saving her. My heart is beating like crazy just thinking about how she could be in there with that psycho. I still can’t believe this is happening. I still can’t believe she risked her life to save mine.
Suddenly, I see Adam walking out with Sun Jung-Hwan in front of him. He’s handcuffed and being pushed forward. I can’t help myself but break into a run towards the train. ‘MINJI!!’ I call out as I run inside the train to see her standing up next to her father. She’s alive!
She hears me and her eyes go wide as she starts running towards me as well. ‘JIMIN!!’ She yells back as we meet half way, our bodies colliding together. I just embrace her tightly against me, pressing my fingers into her skin. I squeeze her against me as I wrap one arm around her back and place another one on her head.
‘Ohh God!! You’re okay. You’re okay. I was so scared.’ I say as I cry. I feel her cry as well as she grabs at my face. She pulls slightly back as she cups her hands against my cheeks. ‘You’re okay right? You’re not hurt, right?’ I ask.
‘I’m okay.’ She replies. I lower my head and crash my lips against hers as I kiss her. I taste blood, either hers or mine but I don’t care. I just kiss her and she kisses back just as fervently until we both pull away for air.
She turns her eyes slightly as she sees Jungkook and the others. I let go of the hug, knowing how scared Jungkook must have been as well. She walks up to him and they stare at each other for a moment before Jungkook pulls her into a big hug. I hear him sigh loudly, letting out the tension he’s been holding in. ‘I was so worried Minmin.’ He says and I realize he is also crying.
‘I’m sorry Kooks.’ She says as she hugs him tightly. ‘But I’m okay. We’re okay and the story with Jung-Hwan is over.’ She says as she rubs his back. I see him nodding as he lets go of the hug. She looks at Taehyung and Yoongi who both hug her at the same time.
‘It’s so good to see you safe Minmin.’ Taehyung comments as he hugs her tightly.
‘Everyone was so worried. I’m just glad to see you’re okay.’ Yoongi adds and she nods while they let go of the hug.
‘Yeah me too. Appa what are you going to do now? Will you be the one to interrogate him?’ She asks turning to her father who shakes his head.
‘No, it’s too personal but I’ll be watching. Adam will take care of him and he’ll be put in prison for a long time. I’ll focus on catching Lee but for now just go home and rest.’ He tells her.
‘I will Appa.’ She says as she walks next to me. My eyes keep following her around, not leaving her. It’s almost like I am afraid to look away just in case she disappears again.
Yoongi drives the car with Taehyung sitting beside him while Jungkook, Minji and I sit in the back. ‘Are you sure you don’t want to see a doctor?’ I ask her, my fingers intertwined with hers. Jungkook is holding her other hand but stays quiet.
‘We can call our doctor to come visit at the dorm. It’s not a problem.’ Taehyung says.
‘I’m really okay, I wasn’t hurt. I’m more worried about you.’ She admits as she looks at me. I see her eyes landing on my head where there is the bruise. It’s almost like I can see the guilt in her eyes – guilt I don’t understand. If anyone should feel guilty, it’s me and trust me when I say I do feel guilty. Guilty because I could not protect her like I promised her I would.
‘I don’t need a doctor, I promise. It’s just a bruise.’ I say and she nods. She yawns, clearly tired as she closes her eyes a bit and rests her head against my shoulder. Within a few seconds she passes out and I sigh.
‘She may not have been hurt physically but the whole thing must have exhausted her.’ Yoongi says quietly so not to wake her up. Jungkook nods as he looks at her with love in his eyes.
‘It’s been a rough evening for her and for you hyung.’ Jungkook says as he looks at me. I nod slightly, my eyes still fixed on her.
We finally arrive home and I look at Minji who is still asleep. Knowing the others will be waiting for her, I gently shake her awake. ‘Wake up sweetie. We’re home.’ I say and she nods as she mumbles incoherently. She opens her eyes and gets out of the car, her legs a bit wobbly which earn her a chuckle from Jungkook.
I hold her so she doesn’t fall as she tries to become more alert while we walk inside to find everyone waiting, including Bang. ‘Ahh you’re finally here.’ He exclaims. Yun immediately jumps from the couch and runs to her.
‘Aish!! You scared me so much!’ Yun exclaims as the two girls hug. They sway and I half expect them to fall over. I look around and I realize the glass has been removed and the broken wood from the bookshelf has also been removed.
‘Sorry for scaring you Yun but it's over.’ She tells her as they finally let go of the hug. I see Yun wiping away her tears as Yoongi approaches her and hugs her from behind to show her his support.
‘It’s good to see you in one piece kiddo.’ Jin says as he approaches her. He hugs her, making her almost disappear in his larger framer. He lets out a bit of a chuckle as he ruffles her hair when he lets go.
‘Hyung’s right. It’s really good to see you back home and safe.’ Namjoon says as he approaches her and hugs her next. She gives him a smile and nods just as he lets go.
She turns to Hoseok who smiles and hugs her as well. ‘I’ve never been happier to see you Minji.’ He says as he pats her on the back.
‘I’ve never been happier to be here.’ Minji replies. She looks at Yoona who hasn’t said anything yet but she has been looking at Minji all this time. She has tears threatening to spill any time. Minji smiles at her and kneels down in front of her to be at her level. ‘Unnie… it’s over. He won’t hurt you again.’ Minji says.
‘You and Jimin could have been killed because of my family’s mess.’ Yoona replies, her voice barely above a whisper but I hear the guilt in it. Minji shakes her head and takes Yoona’s hand in hers.
‘It’s not your fault, not even your brother’s. We all do stupid mistakes sometimes. Baekhyun was taken advantage of that’s all. Jimin and I are both safe and so are you and Hoseok-Oppa.’ She says and Yoona nods.
After a few minutes more of talking we all decide to go to bed. After we changed into our night clothes, Minji and I get into bed and I wrap my arms around her but I can’t fall asleep. No matter how much I try, I can't. I keep seeing the scene from earlier - her walking away with him and away from me. She seems to notice as she turns around to look at me. ‘What is it baby? Can’t sleep?’ She asks and I shake my head. ‘Do you want to go to the roof and watch the stars with me?’ She asks.
‘Shouldn’t you rest? You’ve had a long day.’ I say but she smiles and gives me a quick peck.
‘I think yours was longer.’ She replies as she gets out of bed. She offers me her hand and I take it as I get out of bed. I grab the blanket and we put on our shoes as we go upstairs quietly, trying not to wake anyone up. We reach the roof and sit down next to each other on the cushions. I put the blanket over us and I look at the stars. The night sky is so clear tonight and there seems to be so many stars. ‘So, do you want to talk about it?’ She asks and I sigh before I turn to look at her.
‘I can barely close my eyes without remembering what happened today – watching you walk away with him to save me. I was never so scared in my whole life jagi.’ I say and I see her nod.
‘I know and I’m really sorry I put you through that but I knew I had a chance to save you and maybe even myself.’ She says and I squeeze her hand.
‘Why are you apologizing? I’m the one who should apologize not the other way around. I really hate myself for not being able to protect you. I'm not worth dying for Minji.’ I say, looking down. She’s quick to put her hand against my face and forces me to look at her.
‘You did protect me. You think I didn’t see the way you shoved him in that bookshelf? I know he hurt you but you didn’t give up. You think I didn’t see the way you tried to get out of those zip ties to stop me? You came to that place even though it was dangerous. Please don’t say that. It breaks my heart to hear you say those things.’ She says. Her eyes are big and they seem to shimmer.
‘If he had hurt you.... I would have never forgiven myself.’ I say and she gives me a small smile.
‘Baby… I understand how you feel, trust me. I know what it’s like to live when the person you love dies, especially if they die because of you. It’s hell. If you had died and I had lived, I would not have been able to survive it. You, Jimin, are too important to me.’ She says. I feel a lump in my throat as I feel an overwhelming sense of emotions engulfing me.
‘I love you so much baby. You have no idea how much I love you. You’re my whole world.’ I say, my voice cracking as tears finally roll down. I reach for her as I hug her and she hugs me back tightly.
‘I love you too baby.’ She whispers. ‘I know it’s going to take some time but we’ll go through this together.’ She adds.
‘Yes, together.’ I reply as I pull away from the hug. I look at her and then crash my lips against hers. She kisses back just as passionately. It’s almost like a desperate kiss which is loaded with emotion. All the anxiety, the fear but also the love is coming out at once in this kiss.
