4 Chapter Four

Yoongi POV

---present, taking place three days after chapter one---

I had traced him to a nearby mall, since I had hacked into the cameras and seen him in there, sitting in the food court on his phone. He always tried to find somewhere new to "hide" from me, and it was honestly, just a little bit adorable. Like three days ago, he had been in a movie theater, and even bought me a seat next to him. After the movie was over, I had taken him back to my mansion and that's where the red room came in.

What did we do during the movie? We might have held hands, or maybe snuggled each other a little bit... but when he had tried to kiss me, I yanked away from him. I didn't want to kiss someone, because it meant that I loved them, and I could not fall in love with a victim who was bound to die soon.

Right now, I was walking through the entrance for the food court, the smells of all of the small restaurants wafting through the air. I smiled, finding satisfaction in the rich smelling food. I knew exactly where he was sitting, and I walked up behind his booth, wrapping my arms around him from behind and leaning my lips close to his ear. "Gotcha~"

He jumped slightly, but soon relaxed, setting his hands on top of mine, which were resting comfortably on his chest.

"Mmm, yes you did~" He smiled, leaning his head back and tilting it to look up at me. I grinned victoriously, nodding and drumming my fingers against his strong, warm chest.

"Why are you always so warm...?" I asked, looking down at him.

"Maybe because you melt my heart~" He purred, his thumbs gently brushing against the backs of my hands. I froze, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks as I started at him. He acts like we're going out on a date or something... this is just fun and games until the time he has to die.

"What?" I said, turning my face away from him and staring at the panda express instead. He chuckled, his breath warm and even against my cheek. "It's true Yoongi, no matter how much you want to deny it..."

"I can't deny it if it isn't true." I said, clenching and un-clenching my jaw. He was talking nonsense, just trying to get in character for when we were alone together.

"Oh shush." He said, lacing our fingers together.

I cleared my throat, slowly pulling my hands away and looking back down at him. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yes sirrrr." He said, sliding his phone into his back pocket and standing up, pushing his hands into the large pocket of his hoodie as he walked beside me outside, bumping his elbow against mine. I kept my arms close to my side, not bumping his back and looking around the mall a little more instead.

"How about I buy you something to eat?" He offered, turning his head to look at me. I hummed quietly before shaking my head. I could always eat later.

"Oh come on Yoonie, when's the last time you didn't eat a meal of just rocks and the tears of your victims?" He teased, grabbing my elbow and tugging me towards the Panda Express I saw earlier. I rolled my eyes, noting the nickname he gave me in my head. Yoonie...

"You'd be surprised that I actually eat normal human food." I retorted, letting him pull me along. He shook his head, chuckling and reaching for his wallet. "I don't believe that for a second."

I snatched his wallet right out of his hands, getting out my own debit card before slowly handing him his wallet back. He huffed, snatching it from my hand. "I want to buy it..."

"Well, too bad bunny." I said, ordering myself a few dumplings so that he would be satisfied. I instantly ate them, cocking a brow at him to show that I could eat normal food, too. I then started walking towards the exit, looking over my shoulder to make sure he was following me, which he was, always standing close to my body no matter where we were. Sometimes, I felt like a mother to him, since he always looked up to me and asked me for stuff (which I never gave him.)

"I chose this mall..." He said softly, jogging up to walk beside me. "Because I knew it was close to your house."

"Oh, so then you were planning on walking to my house? But isn't it a long drive from yours?" I asked, turning my head to look at him.

"I mean, it's a half hour drive, but I walked here, so you wouldn't have to walk me back to my car or anything..." He said, looking down with a shrug.

"You're stupid." I said, scoffing and looking forward.

"W-what?"

"Do you know how fucking cold it is outside?" I suddenly stopped walking, turning to face him with my eyes narrowed slightly. "You could have caught a cold, or been targeted by another assassin! That's like an hour walk, Jungkook! Right in the open, too!"

He stared at me, a bright red rushing to his cheeks as people slowed down to watch us, a look of shock on their faces. But do you think I care? This idiot could have been killed, or if not that, he could risk being sick and weak.

"Yoongi-"

"Next time, use your damn car!!" I finished, grabbing his wrist and pulling him towards the doors. He was silent, following behind me with his head hung low. Why had gotten so angry? It really shouldn't have bothered me, he was a grown man, bound to die anyway... but for some reason, it did. I wanted to be the one who killed him, no one else would be allowed to except for me, or they'd be risking their own life, too.
