Trouble

'Here.' I snatch back into reality as his arm pushes mine, making me look away from his face, right down to his hand. 'Hold it!'

I stare at the familiar cup in his hands as memories appear. It takes me right back into the hospital. I recall the smell of medicine that filled my nostrils every day. The sound of machines that made annoying signals every day, remembering me how those lives depend just a single fucking sound. If it was possible, my arms start to feel colder as my skin remembers the temperature from the intensive care unit.

My mind got carried away again but as soon as his hand pushes mine once more, I take out my hand and wrap my fingers around the warm cup. It feels good against my skin as it provides me with an immediate rise in temperature. I press it closer to my chest as I bring my other hand closer to the source of warmth.

'How-' I try to speak but he steps in front of me, still holding the umbrella above our heads. I straighten my spine as his closeness made me somewhat taken back. The wind is still blowing, bringing his cologne right to my nostrils. It made me only more uncomfortable being this close to him as if the distance between our eyes wasn't close enough to upset me. Why is he even upsetting me?

'There is a car with a driver that will take you wherever you need to go.' His lips seem unreal. I look at them closely trying to think if it could be possible for someone to have such perfect plump lips? What even am I doing?!

'Stay out of trouble!' I quickly wrap my finger around the umbrella that he pushed towards me. What on Earth is happening? He turns around, walking through the rain unbothered. Where did he go? I look around, trying to find an explanation for all of this but nothing.

I look at my hands, one still holding onto the warm beverage as the other one holds tightly to the umbrella that he left with me.

'I didn't even get the chance to thank you.' I say quietly to myself, my mind still confused.

'What the-!?' I jump almost dropping everything down as a loud horn of the car that is now parked in front of me sounds loud and clear. The door opens and a middle-aged man in a suit gets out.

'Mis Eleanor, I was assigned by Mr Park to be at your service!' How did he know I will need to go somewhere today? Maybe Chuck spoke to him? But how if I was on the phone with Chuck just when Hyun-woo came?

'Oh, yes, thank you!' I get in as he holds open the door for me.

I press my back against the warm seat as my whole body feels calmer. I put the umbrella down to the floor but the cup is still present in my hand. I look at the logo, remembering how many times I've seen it. I turn it around out of curiosity as I remember the one that girl had today, hers didn't have any.

I feel my face tightening as my lips form in a weak smile. It's there! I take my phone out of my pocket and open the app that scans any word and translates it automatically. I point it to the Korean writing that I never understood.

'Gwaenchanh-a?' I read it out loud as soon as the app solved the puzzle. Okay? What on earth should that mean? It is okay, is the translation correct?

Did it say that it would be okay every day? I've read the signs closely every day and without being completely sure, I think it was.

I remember the way I needed Niall to tell me it will be okay today. I needed to hear those words back then as well. Could it be possible that I wasn't hearing it but they were only a read away?

'Wait! Didn't Hyun-woo assign you?' My mind seems clearer than ever as soon as the driver's voice replayed in my head. Who the fuck is Mr Park?

'My apologies Miss! I'm used to calling him that! Yes, Hyun-woo did.' He explains but it still doesn't make sense! I narrow my brows, trying to understand but I guess seeing my expression made him explain further.

'That's Hyun-woos real name but I'm not used to using the new one yet.' I really wish to understand but at this point, my head feels like it could explode.

'So, Hyun-woo is actually...?' I wait for him to give me an answer that could maybe bring this man closer to my recollection but I'm worried that it will only bring me further away.

'Park Jimin.' Why does it have such a ring to it? I feel as if I've already heard of it but I can't put my finger on it! Why does Chuck order him to take care of me still? He said he didn't but he clearly does. God! My head hurts from all the thoughts that have crossed my mind today.

I close my eyes tightly as I lean my head on the seat. I have to disappear, to forget everything.

'Where to Miss?' I quickly open my eyes as his voice brought me right back into reality. I even forgot to tell him where to go! The thought of coming near that hotel ever again makes my stomach ache immediately and my anxiety comes through.

'To the airport.' No looking back. If I put myself once again in a familiar environment, something will come at me again either making me kill myself or stay. I can't deal with either one!

* An hour later *

'You don't have to escort me all the way in!' I say but the driver, that I now know is called David insists on following me around like a puppy. How much does Chuck pay these people?

'Miss, this way!' He stops in front of me, pointing to the opposite side of the departures.

'The departures are on the right.' I say trying to get some sense into him. He smiles at me, making me look like a fool. What did I get wrong? Why are you even following me? I look around and get some weird stares.

They all look at me, in those fucking clothes that I've been wearing for a decade now! My homeless look doesn't combine well with David's clean ass suit and his fucking posture that clearly says; I'm protecting her, get the fuck away!

'Please follow me!' He starts walking to the other side, completely ignoring my worries. I try catching up with it even if nothing seems clear but I just have to get away.

Everyone lets us walk past each gate without even looking at any documents or even trying to ask anything. I feel scared, not sure what I've gotten myself into! How could I go into a strangers car? I don't even know who sent him, Mr Park, yeah right!

Some shit is going down and my mind can't cope with that.

I get goosebumps as soon as we enter the small tunnel that leads fucking nowhere! I look to the side and stare at the aeroplanes that stand still so fucking closely making me even more anxious.

The exit sign appears making my chest somewhat lighter. I look down and spot the staircase that is leading us down to the ground. Thank God I can hear some voices!

I walk down slowly, following David, trying to act cool as if this isn't weird as fuck!

'Good evening!' As I step onto the ground, three men greet us at the same time. I look at them, every single one of them is wearing a plain black suit, they look dangerous, making this situation only worse!

'Good evening gentlemen!' As soon as David greets them back, he turns around now facing me. What now?!

'A car will now escort us to our plane.' He says it so simply as if there is nothing wrong with it. Well, there is! Where the hell am I going? I clearly said that I need to go to NY, did he not hear me?

A black Range Rover drives by and stops right in front of us. There is no fucking way I'm going anywhere today!

'Listen, this is way too much!' I step back, making all of their heads turn to me. ' I'll just go back and go the ordinary way as I always do.' I slowly walk backwards, trying to test their reactions, trying to see if they'll grab me or let me free! Why am I even thinking about this?

The car door opens, taking us all by surprise! I freeze, now scared more than ever. Why am I this stupid? I can feel my stomach cramping as this got too much to handle. I feel dizzy, trying to cope with the fact that someone might kidnap me right the fuck now!

'Get in!' My eyes widen as he stands there, still holding the door with his hand. His voice is once again low and his face serious. As if it could be any other way! Why did he come back?

A part of me feels relieved seeing Hyun-woo stepping out of that car but a part of me is still scared to death. His presence is what shakes up my mind. I know that he kept me safe, but his personality is what throws me back. When the hell did he change into another suit? I can't even get out of this fucking sweatshirt but he changes in an hour!

'You can leave now, I'll take care of this.' Hyun-woo states and the three men along with David follow his words and walk up the staircase that I came down from.

'Did they scare you?' Is he serious? He keeps his distance from me but his face changed slightly. Could he be worried?

'I'm fine.' I say quietly, probably for him unable to hear a word. Why do I act shy around him? I have way too many questions right now that should make me pissed at him. Why do I act polite?

'Okay then, let's go.' He turns around, closing the back door and making his way to the other side of the car. Hold up! I'm still not going anywhere!

'Listen!' I manage to say roughly, maybe even a notch too harshly but I'm not getting fucked over! 'I don't know what Chuck told you, and even less why you came back but I'll just go by myself!' I say and turn around one more time, there is no way I'm letting him take me anywhere.

'Just get in!' He states loud and clear for me to hear. The staircase that was here five minutes ago now disappeared! Why did they take it away?

Why God, why?! I stand for a minute, procrastinating. Trying to think of a way but frankly, there isn't any! I turn around, looking at him holding the door from the passenger seat open. Why does he have to act like a gentleman now?

'You will go in a private jet, that's the safest way.' Safest way? Why does he make me feel as if I'm in danger or something?

'Why?' I step in front of him, trying to get any kind of emotion off of his face but it's back to his normal serious state.

'I told you to stay out of trouble but now you want to leave for NY, in the middle of the night, without any documents or luggage?' Why is he so fucking calm?

'I'm sorry.' I say to him really meaning it. I attacked him when in reality I'm the one being stupid.

'Just get in.' I grab the door quickly not realizing that he hasn't moved yet.

My hand lands on his, taking us both by surprise. I can feel my heart beating rapidly and my breath getting shorter. His hand feels cold, strangely. I thought it would be...well I didn't think about it actually.

I look up and his eyes are already looking down, waiting for mine. I see something different every single time I look into them. The wind keeps on bringing the front pieces of his hair down to his eyes, making him look somehow, adorable?

I should stop right the hell now! I let go of his hand and move away. I should just pretend like it's nothing and do as I originally planned. Right?

I ignore everything and just sit my ass down and put the belt over my body as he walks to the other side. I just sit quietly as he starts the car, driving off. I'm not even sure what to say or how to act but I have to say something.

'Thank you.' Is the only thing that lies in my heart right now. I feel obligated to thank this man right here, that is once again by my side, helping me. 'For back then, and even today.' I add.

I can't reckon his expression or if he even gives a fuck about my words but somehow he looks taken back.

'Thank me by staying out of trouble.' Why does he keep on mentioning trouble? I'm not even causing that many! Am I?

He stops the car and without even looking at me gets out, making his way over. He opens the door, waiting for me to get out. Why does he act like my guard every time? Chuck said he doesn't work for him anymore!

'Just go in, Pearce will guide you up until you arrive.' He says as I step out of the car. I thought he would go with me? Why does it bother me that he obviously isn't?

'You are not going?' My stupid ass mouth! I want to slap myself right now but the damage is already done. He stops, turning around, looking at me.

'I have to fly somewhere else.' His eyes seem softer but his voice still holds the same tone. Oh! I feel ashamed now as I stand there in front of this stupid plane!

I'm not quick enough to say something so he continues walking, making his way to the car. What should I do?

'Jimin!' Why on Earth did I just do that? As soon as his name left my lips his head turned to me. His eyes widen as hearing it actually did surprise him.

I got taken back by the fact that something could touch him, make him change his emotion at least once!

'Thank you.' Why do I have the urge to say stay? I wanted to ask him to come with me. I know it's stupid but thankfully I controlled myself before I got myself into one more thing I couldn't handle.

His hand still holds the door helplessly, his face froze the second he heard my voice. He doesn't seem emotionless anymore but even if I've seen something different for just a few seconds, he changed back to serious real quick.

'Stay out of trouble.' He says rapidly before he gets in, closing the door loudly.

Why does he keep on saying that? God! He pissed me off in an instant! Why do I even care? I don't know him! What kind of person uses two names?

I take a deep breath and turn around without thinking. Get in the jet! Maybe it isn't the safest way, but I still have to escape.

How much money does Chuck even have to get this shit? I look around, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. I'm completely alone in this fucking jet, only a man greeted me in the entrance that I assume is Pearce.

I sit down in the middle seat and just try finding some sense in everything that happened today.

Seeing that black car only made my heart race. It got scared that maybe it could be Niall. I'm not sure if it got scared or excited, but a part of me did hope he would be here.

I know that seeing him would only make me doubt every decision I made today, maybe leaving without goodbye was the only possible way to get away without any second thoughts, without a possibility of aborting my mission.

'Excuse me, do you have a charger?' I ask Pearce as he sits on the seat opposite of me.

'I'll be right back!' He sits up, making his way back.

'You lasted for longer than I expected.' I say looking at my phone. I remember calling Niall, did he even see those? I suppose he didn't.

I put the phone down on the table in front of me. What if he called?

I quickly sit up, taking the phone right back into my hand. Where is this God damn charger?!

This is just a short one to picture everything up until El arrives in NY.

I thought It would be too much to put everything in one chapter since her stay in NY will be quite overwhelming!

So, Park Jimin everyone!? Don't judge too quickly! He might just stay in this book for quite some time!

In a day or two, an ordinary chapter will be up!

Get ready!

Love you, xx
