Stalker (chp 12)

Endless


I have noticed that my senses are getting duller. Usually I would hear anyone approaching me during my sleep even if I only slept for thirty minutes in twenty four hours, but today, I was awoken with Zelo and Jongup who snuck in my room and almost succeeding to spray my face with water. 

Now the reason I am dead tired today is because I got to the dorm two hours ago after my assignment. It was the target's fault for dragging me down

-flashback-

"Yes, yes stop with being so formal, it doesn't suit you" I waved at Matt, and he slouched down in the couch with a grin on his face

"Now your assignment for tonight" he began and I smirked, eager to carry out the duty with pleasure. I opened anther file which had a profile on a criminal that escaped from jail and was dealing with drugs. He will be seeing the drug dealer at three in the morning at the downtown bar

"How'd get this detailed information?" I asked in surprise

"We had an insider leak out the information" he replied

"No wonder, the police itself can't get this much detail" I said

"Brat! The police work for the safety of citizens, have some respect!!" He said, hitting my head

"Fine fine, okay, so what do I do this time?" I asked

"Seduce him" he smirked

"What?" 

"You heard me" He shrugged

"But, I'm a guy" I said

"No, you're not, do I have to remind you again??" He face palmed

"Well, I can't help but keep forgetting my gender. Well it's more like I don't care about it" I said

"I know that you have a whole costume set downstairs" he intertwined his fingers and rested his chin on it

"Bastard, how'd you know that?!!" I yelled

"Ufufufu, I know many things" he smirked 

"Ugh, fine so what's his preference in women?" I asked

"Well, figure it out, you're supposed to seduce him" he shrugged his shoulders 

"You are really a jerk you know that?" I said

"By the way, leave your gun here, we need him alive" he said as tossing me a taser gun


At the entrance of the bar, I stood with a red leather jacket and black skinny jeans and combat boots with a black purse hanging off my left shoulder, the eyeliner emphasized the light brown contact lenses I wore, the fake nails letting off its shine. I walked inside the bar with confidence and sat down in the bar, ordering margarita. The bartender nodded and worked right away. While my drink was being prepared, I drew circles on the counter and observed the my surroundings. The smell of cheap cigarettes and liquor filled the air, the smoke form cigarettes could be seen faintly in the ceiling, slightly dimming the light. There were rectangular tables on the wall, and five circular tables in the middle of the room. Three independent groups were chatting and eating some greasy food while talking among themselves. One group of people were probably businessman, judging by the briefcases that rested between each person's legs and suits they wore and the cleanness of their shoes. The second group worked in building houses, because I could smell the faint metal smell lingering on their clothes, and there were smudges of dirt in their clothes, combined with the baggy clothes they wore. The third group was the drug dealers, they wore suits but did not have the cleanness nor the elegance usual business man has. They were probably the backup group if anything went wrong during the trade. 
Suddenly, the door opened and the target appeared. He sat on the closest chair from the door and ordered a margarita. As soon as the drink were put in front of him, he drank it immediately and ordered for a glass of beer. I drank mine slowly and stared at him until he turned my way. When he did so, I finished my drink and stepped down from the stool chair and sat on the one next to him. I met his gaze and smiled

"Two beers" I ordered to the bartender

"It's on me" I turned to my target and smirked, resting my chin on my hand.

"What do you want" he barked

"Relax, I don't want anything from you, well, I do in fact. If you know what I mean" I closed in and breathed down his neck

At that, he slightly pushed  away from me 

"I have a business to attend to" he turned away

"I can wait" I purred and rested my hand on his thigh. I'm about to puke... I'm never doing this again I'm only doing this for my chunk of money, I'll be able to get sweets... Think of the cakes and snacks I can get with my next paycheck..... Hold it in, hold it in, hold it in.....

He nodded and turned away from me, drowning the beer I bought for him. The drug dealers closed in to the target and led him to the alleyway. I sneaked out, following them in silence. 

"You got it?" My target asked quietly

"You know, the usual, I expect more income this time" one of the male from the gang spoke

"Well, I can't help it if the customers aren't willing to buy them" my target shrugged

"We don't care, do what you're supposed to do and you will make a profit" the same male spoke, it seems that he is the leader of the group

The group handed the target a briefcase and left as it nothing ever happened. I secretly snuck in and hit the back of the target's head, letting him faint. I called Matt and reported my status. After that, I pulled my target up and supported him, I grabbed the briefcase with drugs and began making my way towards the warehouse. The time was two in the morning. I could've gotten a decent sleep only if the mission went according to the plan. But no, the target had to wake up on me.

"Ugh.....where am I?" He groaned, and I tsked

"Honey, you passed out after drinking five glasses of beer, don't you remember?" I asked in sickly sweet voice smiling innocently 

"I guess I did huh.... Where are we going right now?" He said, struggling to stand up straight

"To my place" I said seductively acting my part. I was getting paid to do this, at least I should do it properly

"Hmmmm, eager are we?" He smirked, and slid his hand down to my lower back. I gritted my teeth, this guy will pay once he is behind the iron bars. I leaned in more, and led him towards the warehouse. Once my destination was in my sight, I looked at my target suggestively and his smirk grew even more

"Come" I whispered in his ear. But before I could use my taser gun on him, he was on top of me, kissing like there was no tomorrow. Disgusted, I lost ahold of my gun and dropped to the ground. The loud clank stopped the kissing and my target reached for the taser gun.

"What is this?" He stated, holding up the gun

"It's a taser gun, you know, for protection" I shrugged 

"It's not safe during the nights nowadays" I said

"Yes, but why did you have it out of your purse??" He accused, not believing my made-up story

"My purse was open and it dropped!! Sheesh, you don't believe me??" I pouted and crossed my arms

"You know what? Screw you, I'm leaving" he turned away. Nonononono!!! I'm not letting my paycheck get away!!! My sweets!!!

"Hold on, why are you leaving??"I whined while grasping his wrist

"Where's my bag?" He yelled

"What do you mean by your bag? You didn't have one when you came in the bar" I said

"Where IS my bag???!" He yelled

"You mean, this briefcase?" I said, and swung the case at his head. A satisfying crack was heard as the case met my target's head, he fell with a thud. I grinned and picked him up again, but the blow was not enough to knock him out, he ran. I cursed under my breath and ran after him. 

Through the alleyways and the main roads, my chase continued for an hour. Once I got to him, he was at a dead-end alleyway. Cracking my knuckles, I smiled 

"My dear, you should've just fainted at that blow, it would've been much easier for you and me" I said sadly

"I have a taser gun, back away slowly and I won't hurt you" he said threatening me

"Says the one who is cornered in the dead end" I said

"Even the mouse fights back the cat if it's cornered" he spat out

Lowering my stance, I bolted to the front and struck his septum. He clenched his face and groaned out in pain. Next came a blow to the ribs by the roundhouse kick, the blow made my target fall to the ground. I wasn't going to take any chances anymore, so I struck with my ax kick to his temple, but this idiot managed to block it with his forearm. He grasped my ankle and threw my balance off. I skidded back and got back to my stance. The guy jumped off the ground and lashed at me with my taser gun. He came at me with great speed to my solar plexus, by turning my body to the right, he narrowly missed and managed to scratch my arm and slightly burn it. My knee went up and landed on his gut making him double over to gasp in pain. With my elbow, I got his neck, finally getting him to faint. I got ahold of my taser gun and hit his neck with it multiple times just to clam me down. Once I was satisfied, I put him over my shoulder like a sack and began running towards my warehouse

"This bastard was a pain in the " I said while tossing my target to Matt who was watching a comedy show at my couch

"Whoa, don't throw him at me" he said, pushing the guy next to him

"Put handcuffs at his wrist, I expect my money to come in by tomorrow" I said

"Okay, okay, chill, you got your job done, and I will get mine done now don't forget that you have another assignment" he scolded

"Okay, I'll get my job done properly" I waved at him

"by the way, if you want to know, it's already four o'clock, you have school in less than three hours" he said, while looking at his watch

I froze

"What?" 

"It's four in the morning" Matt replied

"Excuse me? I must've heard it wrong" I asked 

"Go home, you have school in less than three hours!!!" He said, frustrated

Before he could blink, I was out of the door already, running for my lost time, all the while mentally torturing my target for dragging my assignment on. I snuck in through the bathroom window and crept up the hallways to get to my room. As soon as my head guy the pillow, I was gone.

-flashback end-

When I woke up because of my friends, my wig was luckily hidden by my bed sheets, and my makeup was light enough so that it was barely noticeable. I got up from my bed and walked towards my bathroom. I removed my makeup and got off my skinny jeans and leather jacket, took a quick shower and got my uniform on. Letting the water drip from my hair, I went out my room to get breakfast

"Morning" I yawned

"Hey, what's up" Yongguk greeted me

"Can I go back to my bed?" I asked

"No can do, we all need our education" Youngjae said

"Aww" I sulked

"Did you finish your homework??" Daehyun asked Himchan

"Yeah, did you??" Himchan asked back

"Noooo... Can I copy it?" Daehyun asked hopefully

"Noooo... Do it on your own" he replied, shoving a piece of toast in his mouth

"Meanie" Daehyun pouted

"I finished eating, I'm leaving first" I said while standing up

"Wait, I'm coming too" Jongup said

Dang it, he made me unable to go and train in my warehouse, and here I wanted to get some stretches after yesterday's exercise

I smiled "hurry up then" 

"Okay" Jongup said, getting his backpack

"We'll see you during lunch" we said and went out the door

The morning walk in late May was hot, I was getting sweaty just by walking

"It's too hot" I said, shoulders lagging

"really? It's not that hot to me" Jongup replied

"Hmmm" I said 

"So, are you ready for your comeback?" I asked

"Always. After all, it's my job" he replied grinning

"Don't work too hard, I know how crazy those schedules can get" I commented

"Yeah, we sometimes could only get two hours of sleep or less and we lived off energy drinks" he said, kicking a rock to the side

"That " I replied, kicking the rock Jongup kicked to the side, remembering how I only got two hours of sleep today

"Hey, we should sneak out after school and go clubbing" Jongup suggested

"We are still underage" I said

"That's why I said 'let's sneak out" Jongup grinned

"You sneaky little brat, I like it, I'm in, and I know a great place" I said

The class passed by quick, nice Ms. Kim teaching students who are bored out of their minds and lunch as usual with my friends, luckily, I did not encounter that Chanyeol guy, after having a small incident with him, I don't really want to see him. Well  I wouldn't have imagined this life five years ago, it's amazing how life can turn out so much differently than expected. 

Jongup and I changed from our school uniforms and into our casual attires once school ended. Jongup wore torn jeans with a very thin beige shirt with studs. I wore a black tshirt and black jeans along with the cross necklace Timothy gave me for my birthday. Not forgetting my hidden weapons, I tucked in two knives into my combat boots, and I hung the wires around my neck into multiple loops and added a small cross pendant on one loop, making it look like an accessory rather than a weapon. After my preparation, Jongup and I made our way towards Zoniac, my part-time job. 

"So, how's the club you're taking me?" Jongup asked

"Well, you know Zoniac?" I asked

"Yeah, I've heard a lot about it from my seniors" he said

"One of my acquaintances work there, so I can get easy access in" I said

"we don't have to get through security either" I said

"Cool, so the security's your acquaintance?" He asked

"No, the owner is" I said, leaving Jongup with mouth agape. After few minutes of silent walking, Jongup spoke up

"Ummm..... this morning, when I tried to wake you up with Zelo..... Well, can I ask you a question?" He mumbled

"Okay, shoot" I said

"Why were you wearing makeup??" He asked

"What do you mean?? I wasn't wearing any makeup" I said, hiding my inner panic that could've exploded like atomic bomb

"I saw a hint of eyeliner and BB cream, something you never apply" he accused

"Hahahah, you must've mistaken my dark circles for eyeliner, I don't wear makeup silly, I am not a celebrity!!! Just a normal teenage guy!!!" I laughed and punched Jongup in his arm. Jongup had a look of disbelief, but shrugged it away

"Well, we're here, let's hit the music" I said, dragging Jongup in

"Waddup man?" I saluted the security guard, and he saluted back

"Wow, he didn't even check for our ID" Jongup said

"Yeap, now want something to drink? It's on me" I pointed towards the bar

"Nah, I don't want anything" he said, as going towards the dance floor 

"Okay, whatever suits you, if you need me, I'm at the bar" I yelled over the loud music

I sat down in stool, said hi to Kris, the bartender and ordered a vodka shot on rocks, I downed it in one shot and went towards the manager's office

"Yo!! Jungmin! How's it going?" I saluted him

"As usual" he replied

"Still no girlfriend, huh?" I smirked

"Hush" he motioned for me to shut up

"Well, today, I came with Jongup, so if you need me, I'm either at the bar drinking, or at the dance floor, Kay??" I said

"No prob, just don't drink too much, and go find yourself a boyfriend" he said

"Worry about yourself" I said, and went out to the loud beat and to the bar. Drinking margarita, I surveyed the surroundings, and spotted Jongup showing his flashy moves in the center, gaining a crowd of blushing fangirls and few dancers that acknowledged his moves. The loud beat and the smell of perfume and cologne lingered heavily in the air, the familiar crowd never resting. Among the crowd, I saw a guy that seemed kind of familiar, like I have seen him somewhere in the past. Then it struck me, he is one of my targets I'm supposed to take care of. I rushed towards Jongup who was lost in his own world of rhythm and beat, yanked out of the crowd and went towards the manager's office

"Wha- where are we going?" Jongup asked

"Stay here, okay?" I said, pushing Jongup in to Jungmin's office

"What is this Eunseok?!!" Jungmin asked

"I'll be back!!" I yelled and closed the door

-Jongup's pov-

A tall guy in his twenties sat behind a desk with paperwork and few books. He had a baffled look at my sudden entrance, Eunseok left me with this guy, a stranger.... Do I just say hi? Or should I run away? Eunseok said to stay here though....

"You're Jongup?" The guy asked, startling me

"Yeah.. How'd you know my name?" I asked curiously

"Well, Eunseok talks a lot about you" so I could recognize you from the way she-, I mean, he described" he said

"Ahhh, I see" I smiled

"Well, call me Jungmin" he said, stretching his hand for me to shake, I shook his hand to be polite

"Nice to meet you.. So...yeah" I said awkwardly 

"Don't worry about Eunseok, he does that frequently so it doesn't really surprise me anymore. Would you care for some tea?? Take a seat" Jugmin motioned for me to a chair

"No, just water is fine, thank you" I said

"Well, make yourself at home until Eunseok comes back, he'll come soon" Jugmin said

"Thanks....." I murmured


-Eunseok's pov-

I locked my sight to my target and moved fluently through the crowd not letting anyone hinder my movement. I crept behind him, hit the base of his neck, and supported him just before he hit the floor. I led him to the back alley of the club and set him on the floor, then using the wire I had, tied his wrists and his legs. I twirled the pocket knife I hid in my boot around in my fingers until my the guy woke up. Soon I heard a groan coming from the guy, so I slid on my black mask and crouched down to his eye level, still playing with my blade.

"Yo" I said

"Whaa- where am I??" He groaned

"Well.... You'll know if you be honest" I smirked

"Stop joking!!! Where am I?!!" He yelled, I blocked his mouth with my hand, slapping harshly so that his head hit the wall behind him

"Look at the situation you're in, I'd be quiet and obedient if I were you. Look, you're hands and feet are tied with wire, and I have a small knife that could easily go through your eyes and to the back of your skull with just a flick of my wrist. Answer my questions, and answer them right" I said calmly

"What do you want" he said, while avoiding my eyes

"Your name"

"My- my name??" He stuttered, and I struck the wall with my blade with a force that embedded the blade to the brick wall

"Wrong answer" I said

"Mincheol!!! My name is Kim Mincheol!!!" He yelled holding his cheek where my knife slightly grazed over the skin and let a trail of red liquid to spill

"Your age"

"Thirty six" 

"Family?" 

"Wife and a daughter.. Please don't hurt them!!!" He pleaded

"That depends on your answer" I replied in a monotone

"Job?"

"Janitor" 

"Phone number?" 

"Why do you need it?!!" He yelled

Irritated, I pressed the blade to his throat 

"My patience has it's limits" I growled

"Hold on, hold on!!! It's 8210-653-3017!!!" 

I got my phone out and dialed the number given. Not long after, I could hear the phone ringing from the man's pocket

"I see, thank you for your cooperation" I said as untying the wires 

"Now leave from my sight before I stab you" I motioned for him to run, and he did. Pathetic... Didn't even try to fight back, is that really the guy who sent threat letters to my friends?? He looks half-assed to even try anything. I walked back to the club, got a shot of martini, and went to pick up Jongup.

"Hey, I'm back!!!" I perked

"What was that about?!!!" Jongup said, setting the book he was reading aside 

"I saw a black Pegasus, and it was running towards you in a deadly speed, I wanted to keep you safe, so I dragged you to your safe house while I battled with the Pegasus" I said

"..." Jongup didn't say anything for a while

"You're really a bad liar" he said 

"Well!!! I'm tired, let's go home" I said, yanking Jogup's t shirt

"Wait!! I didn't really get to have fun" he protested

"It's already 10, you guys have to get ready for school" Jungmin got in the conversation 

"no one invited you in the conversation" I bit back jokingly

"So mean!! And I'm your step-dad!!" He held his hands over his heart and fake cried

"Wait!! That's your dad?!! I didn't know!!! Where are my manners!!" Jongup panicked

"It's okay, I don't mind" I replied, cutting off Jungmin

"Hey!!!! I have a mind on my own!!" He punched my shoulders 

"Leave!!!" He sulked

"Stop being a kid, you'll never get a girlfriend" I said

"Hah! Mind your own business!!" He yelled back

"Well, it was nice meeting you sir. Have a nice evening" Jongup bowed politely 

"Byeee" I said and went out the office

The evening breeze was cooler than the morning. Jongup and I walked down the alleys in order to avoid fans or paparazzi's

"Hey, is Ms. Kim still single?" Jongup suddenly brought it up

"Yeah, I went to her house but didn't see any trace of male living there" I replied

" I see- what?!! You've been to her house?!!" Jongup yelled

Crap

"Yeah, I have" I answered

"How?!!!" He asked

"Not gonna tell" I replied, jogging ahead

"Hey! No fair!!" He said, catching up to me

"Curiosity killed the cat" I replied simply, and he shut up 

I just hope that stalker wouldn't cause any trouble
