Chaeyoung PoV

I spent the whole week trying to runaway from the press. My agency didn't allow me to release a statement about the situation, with that said, the press has been harassing me. Numerous threats were sent to me. 

There's been an increase of security around my apartment building, the agency, and wherever I go to. Even though security has been with me day and night, there were some creepy reporters trying to get a picture of me sleeping in my room through the window. 

In that whole week, I never spoke to Jungkook or any of my friends. I tried to avoid my phone so I can refrain from answering calls and messages or view posts and articles about my cowardly behaviour. 

What a week, indeed. I can't even go out to do some exercise in the gym. This life has become more of a hell than it already has. 

And surprisingly, today is a beautiful Sunday morning. I open the curtains of my living room and see the bright sunlight cross the whole floor. 

I look down from my window, seeing a ton of press still waiting for me to go out. There were policemen and some private security trying to barricade the press. Some were throwing rocks, others were pushing through the barricade. 

What do these news reporters get out of this job? They're like risking their lives just to get a word out of me. It's my private life, I don't want this stupid life of mine to go out on public. It's stupid enough to be a laughingstock. 

At the same time, I can't let my agency tell me what to do. Personal matters don't count in the contract, right? Ugh, stupid Chaeyoung, you didn't read the contract at all!

I sighed and went inside my office room. Then I pull out a drawer from my table and I took out the gun that I bought a year ago. 

Insecurity when there's security? You've become a psycho, Chae. 

Sooyoung returned my car the day after Jungkook and I talked. That was the day where reporters were still trying to find my home address and only little were lined up outside. 

I pick up my phone and texted one of my personal guards that I'm going to go to the agency. Like I will go really. I'm gonna leave this building and drive with full speed and get away from this stupid city. 

After I put my gun in a small cases, I take my car keys and speed walk outside of my apartment and to the parking basement. My personal bodyguards were waiting in front of the elevator, the escorted my to the van that the agency provided but I told them I'll be driving with my car. 

For safety reasons, I had my car's windows tinted. That way, press wouldn't be able to see me. When I got out of the apartment's parking lot, I drove fast so that the bodyguards in the van wouldn't be able to catch up. 

I turned left and right so that they wouldn't catch up with me. 

When I finally leave their sight, I turned my wheel and drove to the direction that leaves Seoul. I filmed a vlog once where I went to a beach, around 3 hours and north from Seoul. 

Only a small town with with little internet connection. Most people didn't know me there, which is what I found nice about the place. I can buy some clothes and sleep in the car for a few nights. 

A little unplanned getaway.

I drove 3 hours, nonstop. Assuming that I was being chased by the press and by the bodyguards. When I arrived at the place, I parked my car near the beach by the roadway. I shut my phone off, and took my sunglasses from one of the compartments of my car. 

My feet drag me outside, and I feel the beautiful wind hit my skin. I walk to the shore of the beach, my feet getting drowned on the wet sand, my ankles being attacked by the waves, my hair flowing to the direction of the wind. 

Then I stop and look at the sea. 

Too bad I'm ending my own life here.

I realize how beautiful the water looks like. How the light colored water transforms to the dark colored one. The boats and the birds from afar look like they were painted on a canvas The waves that were hitting the rocks look like they were in slow motion. 

Too bad this place will be remembered as the place Rosie Posie died. A very remote down that does not have a very good hospital to heal a gunshot. A remote down with people who think this beautiful day is a happy day. 

Aren't I a party pooper? 

I laugh at myself, at the same time noticing the tear that falls on my cheek. I wipe it off my cheek and I throw it to the see, pretending the tear is like a rock. 

"No one will notice that you're gone!!!" I shout afterwards. 

No one will ever notice. Jungkook said he will, but it turns out he was wrong. I'm gone and he doesn't notice. How does he think I get trust him? 

He gave me a lie. At the same time, it's my fault for choosing to shut my doors. 

I can see this beautiful world alone, it would take time but I can find a reason to be happy again. To be happy again, I need to disappear. To be happy again, people around me should be happy as well. 

They'll only be happy if I'm gone. 

I spread my arms and look up to the sky as a strong wave hits my thighs. 

Cheers to the last moments, Chaeyoung. 

"I'd notice if you're gone," I hear a whisper. 

Then suddenly, I feel an arm around my waist, another arm wrapping my left arm and a chin in between my shoulder and neck. My ears tickle as I felt a warm breath. 

Afterwards, I was lifted from the ground and I landed on the side where the waves couldn't hit my legs. I quickly turn around, preparing my hand to slap the person who did that to me. 

But when I turn around, my foot hit a small coral, making me unbalanced. I fall down to the sand and I hear laughing, I prepare to stand up with a glare but I get pushed back down with a hand. 

"I told you, I'd notice," he said, sitting beside me on the sand. 

"How did you find me? Are you a stalker? Aside from assaulting a lady with just her underwear, you stalk?!" I asked. 

He shook his head, "One of the security teams are under J and P Associations. I've asked to put a locator on your car, it's connected to my phone and I noticed you were driving to this little remote town." He looked around, "Ah. Vlog number 24, right? You learned fishing here."

"Get off me and please, for heaven's sake, leave me alone," I said trying to push his hand off of me. 

"If I leave you alone, I'd find you dead. That'll just be a heart break," he smiles and looks at the sea. "Forget that I gave you that offer a week ago. I'll just make it simple this time."

I scoff, "No way, you're probably here because of my dad."

"When I left Seoul, he was on his way to your apartment. He got news that you were missing. I was tailing you here and now I don't have updates since there's no signal here or whatsoever."

I lie on the sand, "I'll listen to it, then."

I turned to my side, hiding my face away from him then I smiled. It's been a long time since someone has kept their word to me. 

He actually found me. 

"If you allow me to date you, then you can get half of your freedom back since I now have your parents trust with this engagement but you have to agree that I'll be calling you, texting you, staying at your apartment, hanging out with you, going on trips with you and so on," he says. 

"Remove 'staying at your apartment'," I quickly said. 

He sighs, "No way, that's just unfair. I haven't even told you the best part."

"Then say it, idiot."

"Our engagement applies when both of us are 23 years old and so does this agreement. The day after I turn 23, you decide whether we marry or you'll back out of this engagement."

Definitely, back out.

He smiles, "So? What do you say? I thought about it the whole week and I did a whole bunch of convincing."

I got up from the sand and flip both of us. He was on the sand and I was on top of him. I wrap my arms around his neck, my cheek on his chest and my lower body on the sand. 

"I didn't know you had a fun side," he laughs. 

"Thank you," I told him. 

"And one more thing, give me back your gun."

I lift my head and look at him. 

"Surely you knew that the store you bought that in is owned by my friend, Kim Tae Hyung," he smiled. "It's confiscated until you've made your decision."

I roll my eyes, "Basically, it also means I'm not allowed to do any suicide act while on this agreement?"

He flicked my forehead, "Idiot, I also meant what I said last week. I'm showing you the beauty of this world."

I roll my eyes again. 

Jungkook sat up, lifting both of us with ease, "Now, now. Let's find a place to eat?"

He stood up from the sand and gives out his hand to help me up. I stood up and wore my sandals that I left on the sand. 

Jungkook waits for me beside the road, and I ran after fixing myself up. He and I walked together, side by side, to the small town. 

Then I remembered he told me about my Vlog number 24. It's the vlog that I filmed when I went here. I learned how to fish, how to bone a fish, how to set a sail, how to dive and kinds of ocean activities. 

It's also the most embarrassing vlog because I'm really scared of going deep in the water. I punched Jungkook's muscled shoulder. 

"Stop watching my vlogs, idiot!" I said, punching him one more time. 

"I like the place more than the vlogger," he says, rubbing his shoulder. 

I punch him harder, "Then don't watch it!" 

Even if he thinks he'll convince me to marry him, I'm sticking to my word that I'll back out. Oh, to taste victory. It'll be 2 years from now, and even if he thinks I've fallen for him, I will never marry him. 

I'm going to break this engagement. 

Definitely.
