++Chapter Twenty-Five++

 

 

 

 

 

My phone vibrated before Donghae could answer. I scrolled the messages and realized the text message was from none other than the witch.

 

'Meet me at the school gate by midnight. No bodyguards or protection. Just by yourself and Bom if you want.'

 

I showed the others the message.

 

"So as I was saying, she did plastic surgery to make it look like her old Melissa self again. Jiyong would be too dumb to even realize that. If it comes to her killing him out of anger, she wants the last person he sees to be her. Because she was the first girl he dumped." Donghae said it. If I wasn't mistaken, I could have heard hatred in his sentence.

 

"Mom and dad would provide the cash, I know. Since you and Bom are going in, should we set up a wire for you or something?" I thought about it for awhile but decided not to in case the witch might check. Besides, what if she had back-up and they'll hurt us if they found out we weren't alone? I shook the thought out of my head. I wouldn't want to imagine myself hurt and lifeless at the school's gate.

 

"We'll be watching you guys from far." Donghae said.

 

I really wasn't looking forward to midnight. But something tells me Melissa wasn't the sweet girl on the outside. Not as weak as I thought. She could be dangerous in the inside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Please be safe, Sandara Park." I hated it when people used my full-name. It just made me sound like a child. Donghae had an amused look on and gave me a bear hug. If we weren't in this condition, I would have made sure the hug lasted longer.

 

Bom and I held hands as we walked towards the school gate. Bom was holding the suitcase containing cash. The amount that Melissa asked for. From far, I could make out a female shape standing outside the school gate with somebody standing beside her. One of the disadvantages for me was that I had to limp every time I walked. So if we needed to make a quick getaway, I might end up dead due to my condition.

 

"Sandara Park." seriously. What was with people calling me by my full name? But then I realized another two men came out of nowhere. Okay, I really regretted not having comunication with us. Hopefully the two boys could watch what was going on from their positions.

 

"Melissa Kim or Jin Ah Kim or Melissa whatever. Where's Jiyong?" I crossed my arms, while steadying myself so I won't topple over.

 

"I see you have the cash, but what I want to make sure is whether you had move on." an evil smile played on her lips. If I weren't in this condition, I would have taken her down no questions needed. I glared at the ground. Had I move on from Jiyong?

 

"I have." I stated in a monotone.

 

"We'll see about that." she took out a knife and stabbed Jiyong. Alright, time to panic. Blood started pouring out from Jiyong even if he was pressing his wound with his hand. I realized there were bruises all over him. The two men must have hit him hard.

 

"Don't hurt him!" I made an effort to walk over to him but was immediately kicked to the ground by one of the two men. Melissa laughed.

 

"Obviously, you don't know who Melissa Kim is. She's the baddest girl in school. But one day she vanished, plotting her revenge. Since the guy I loved once left me, I swore I would take who he loved most away from him." she slowly made her way to me. Bom was in the two men's grasp. She was struggling but since both of us were girls, what could we do?

 

"So you're going to kill me now?" I choked since she was stepping on my chest.

 

"Oh yes, I Am." she was about to bring down her knife but someone caught her leg and she fell backwards. Jiyong crawled his way to me.

 

"Jiyong, don't move. You'll bleed even more." I told him. I didn't want him to bleed to death. I could lose everything, my life, my pride, just not Jiyong even when he was no longer mine.

 

"Why did you come alone?" he narrowed his eyes at me.

 

"Part of the deal so we could get you back." I shrugged. No time to talk. Melissa was already on her two feet and was glaring at the both of us. She kicked Jiyong and he winced in pain. Where were those two boys?

 

Out of the blue, I heard police sirens. Then flashing lights. "Melissa Jin Ah Kim. Get on the ground or we'll shoot." a police officer pointed his gun at her. Donghae and Jaejoong must have called the police. Jiyong was on the ground unconscious. Oh no.

 

"You're under arrest, girl." a lady officer cuffed Melissa by the wrist and she was thrown into the back seat of the police car. An ambulance was behind the police cars and soon, I was in the ambulance with Jiyong. Jaejoong drived Donghae and Bom to the hospital where they would meet us.

 

After I got checked up, I went to Jiyong's room. He was awake but he didn't look at me. I didn't have the words to talk to him anyways so I left him. By Thursday, he was released from the hospital. He practically stayed in the palace the whole day but didn't talk to me. Except when it was breakfast ordinner. Those were the only times he talked to me. Besides the necessary moments, he didn't even acknowledge me.

 

Friday came and Donghae offered to go with Bom and I to Paris. Said something about sight-seeing but I didn't believe him. I knew he was my best friend and he didn't want me to get in trouble.

 

"Donghae, I think I'm capable of taking care of myself."

 

"No you're not. That's why I'm going with you." I sighed defeated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Donghae's P.O.V.

 

 

 

 

"You're a real jerk. Dara's leaving and you don't want to see her?" I was in

Jiyong's room before I left with the girls to the airport. Jiyong and I were in good terms but he was still not talking to Dara which annoyed me a little.

 

"Whatever."

 

"She risks her own safety for you." I narrowed my eyes at him.

 

"She did?"

 

"If you really love someone, you wouldn't let them go no matter what the circumstances. Don't be a jerk." I said to him and walked away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jiyong's P.O.V.

 

'If you really love someone, you wouldn't let them go no matter what the circumstances.'

 

I felt like such a jerk to Dara. Should I really go after her? They already left for the airport. Could I catch her before she leaves?

 

No time to think, just act. My mind said to me.

 

I put on my coat and signaled Kush to drive me to the airport. When I got there, I hopped out of the car ignoring the pain in my wound and ran.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dara's P.O.V.

 

I was boarding the plane but before that, I searched the crowd the last time. Since Donghae was a prince, lots of girls wanted to see him. So there was a big crowd. No sign of Jiyong. I sighed.

 

"You alright?" Donghae asked. I turned to him and smiled and then nodded.

 

The door was about to shut when I heard a familiar voice. "Dara!" Jiyong! He was smiling before the door closed. Jiyong came to see me!
