Chapter 51 - A hundred times scarier

Jagi turned around to see who caught her. Kali had come over to be with Joo Ah and Jagi. While Shin Suri was at Lu Jinho's family house, Kali had grown fond of both Jagi and Joo Ah though she was more comfortable with Jagi because she felt she could tell her anything. She was standing by the door when she suddenly heard Jagi speaking. She was a bit scared at first but after a while, she found her anger pretty cute and funny.

Kali walked into the room and Jagi became completely mute.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to talk to me?"

She asked looking a bit disappointed and heartbroken.

"That's sad. I trust you and I tell you almost everything but I guess you don't like me as much as I like you".

Jagi knew the small girl wasn't bad and she had positive energy around her almost all the time but there were times when she could feel that darkness and she knew she had to be careful. But what harm can this cause besides, she already heard her speak. Might as well not make her cry.

"Come, sit".

Jagi said and she immediately went to close the door properly.

"Aren't you scared of me?"

The little girl shook her head saying she wasn't.

"You are one brave little girl aren't you? Alright, Kali, you have to keep this a secret alright?"

She nodded.

Jagi and Kali got along pretty well. They didn't talk about anything serious, they just had small talks and somehow, the conversation kept going till they both fell asleep.

I slept so soundly till the next morning. I guess going through the internet can really help get your mind off things. After stretching for a while, I went over to clean up before going downstairs to get my tummy filled.

When I got downstairs, the first person I saw was Lu Jinho and he looked at me as well but he simply ignored me. I went over to join him for breakfast but immediately I took my seat, he stood up and walked out of the house.

"What is this? Why is he ignoring me like he is on his period?"

I couldn't think about anything that could justify his actions so I ignored it besides, I had more important things on my mind for now.

After having breakfast, I went to Joo Ah's room but when I got there, I didn't see anyone there. Just then, Jagi came in.

"Why are you snooping around like a rat?"

"Ahhh!!!"

I said startled as I fell to the floor. This body sure does know how to make me feel embarrassed.

"Why did you startle me like that?"

She walked past me like a rude crazy tiger.

"What? It's not my fault your a weak scaredy cat".

"Whatever, where is Joo Ah?"

"Don't ask me. I haven't seen her since last night it's like she disappeared. Besides, I have my own issues, I've been looking for that guy since yesterday".

When Jagi turned around, Shin Suri had left the room already.

"Uhhh, why does no one care how I feel?"

Shin Suri went back to her room feeling uncomfortable with how Joo Ah has been behaving. It's almost like she was hiding something and she didn't like it.

"Joo Ah, please don't make me doubt you. I'd hate to".

After a while, I went to see Kim Yuri in the guesthouse. It's obvious she was being taken care of. In just one day she was already looking way better. But not for long.

I barged into the room and held her by the neck.

"Where is she? What did you say to her?"

She was trying her best to remove my hand from her neck but I wasn't budging besides, she was still a bit too weak to fight me coupled with all the training I've been going through.

I wanted to smirk at how she was struggling but I couldn't get myself to lift my face. For some reason, I felt she was doing something with Joo Ah and the inner me was not liking any bit of it.

"Where is Joo Ah?!!"

"I.....I don't kn...know what you are....(cough cough cough)".

I pushed her to the bed while letting go of her neck.

"Too bad for you, I don't have anything to do today. I won't leave till I get something from you. You better be ready, I wouldn't mind bringing all the torture tools here".

I moved close to her so my face could be very close to her. I could feel her moving back and shivering in fear but I didn't care one bit.

"So you'd better start talking".

"I...I don't know what..."

Pahhh!!!

I slapped her so hard that she fell back to the bed. I was not going to take that crap for an answer.

"I believe I've been too soft on you".

I held her face so hard with my fingers it was as though I wanted to crush her face.

"You might not know, but I'm a hundred times scarier than Lu Jinho, and trust me, that bitch Ju Min definitely has nothing on me".

Kim Yuri knew she wasn't bluffing. She could feel the dangerous aura excluding from her and she knew that if she didn't choose her words wisely, she'd be dead in a couple of minutes.

She didn't understand why she was this angry today. It was probably because of Joo Ah or something else.

"I don't know much but..."

Shin Suri let go of her face to let her talk more clearly. The lady took a while to get herself back.

"I don't know where Joo Ah is and I didn't tell her anything but, Ju Min is probably already inside the mansion".

I looked at her curiously.

"How would you know that?"

"I have a way of sensing things".

"You'd better not be lying to me, I'll be back".

I said and began walking out.

"Shin Suri!"

I turned around.

"You have to trust Joo Ah. She's on your side".

I felt pretty pissed.

"Hearing that from you just makes me feel even warier. Just so you know, I don't mind killing anybody".
