Chapter 76: Conflict
(Y/n) intently stared into the male's enraged eyes as her body froze solid at his serious intentions. Jin remained with a steady hold on the knife that was applied to the female's throat. She didn't dare gulp out of fear of providing further contact with the blade and could only breath unevenly with every moment that she was held under his mercy.
After receiving no response from the girl, he pushed the blade further against her skin, forcing the girl's breath to hitch at her throat. "(Y/n) is so quiet...why does she not see how this is torturing me...?" The female slowly shook her head in disbelief and tried to scuttle away from the senseless male. "All she has to do is give me names and all this will end." He closed the proximity between them to take up his position again and easily threaten the girl.
"Jin what's this about? Stop this." He didn't seem to be in the mood for the girl's nonsense and avoidance for answers and had to grab her arm and give it a painful squeeze to coax a proper reply.
"Why does (Y/n) keep protecting them?! Why is she trying to defend those that hurt her?! Answer me?!" He intently glared into her eyes as the girl could only try to compose her breath and steady her speech.
"Please, get a hold of yourself!" Jin growled with frustration towards her delay of a reply. The male then stroke with a realisation as he began frantically looking around himself.
"Where are they?! Where are those papers?!" He steadily shook the girl for a response but earned none. "Where did (Y/n) put them? I'll get my answers that way." Jin stared back at the girl, only to have his attention drawn as his eyes gazed towards the neck that he held his knife pressed against. The male began to slowly slide down the large collar that covered her skin as he confusingly stared at the marks that were slowly becoming evident with the reveal. "What...?"
(Y/n)'s eyes widened as she grasped what the male had placed his sights on and felt her body reflexively react as she swung her free hand to punch the male's distracted state. After managing to knock him back a few feet, she spun around to distance herself as much as possible from the deranged boy. She panted as her hands began shaking with the awaiting fear that would approach her, ready to fight against him if necessary.
However, as the boy didn't move from his position he began groaning in pained anguish as he applied pressure to one side of his face, seeming as though a triggered reaction had been caused. The girl looked on in confused caution while her brain tried to comprehend the scene in front of her.
'Is this one of his conditions?' She reluctantly approached the male with careful puzzlement as she tried to aid the male with his problem. "J-Jin...are you-?" Before she could complete her inspection, her low guard allowed for an opportunity for her arm to be grabbed, and as she stared in bewilderment at the unexpected action, the boy ceased his agonised performance to look at her with completely unfazed features.
"Got you." He pulled the shocked girl down to the bed sheets as he forcefully pegged her with her only usable wrist and gave her an infuriated scowl. "I'm done playing with (Y/n)...What happened to her neck...? W-what were those marks...?" He shakily placed his fingers against the fabric covering her nape and despite all of the girl's thrashing and pleading he pulled down the collar to take a full look at the red and purple spots that had just started their process of fading away and healing. The female froze in her position as only her heartbeat could drum in her ears, wanting nothing more than to block off the rest of the world and drown in the silence of her breath.
"Please, don't..." Her plea was barely a whisper as the male gave her a quiet stare as he processed the image in front of him. Her heart seemed to hammer in her chest as she felt fingers grazing against her flesh as they went over each coloured dot. After finishing his inspection the male clenched his fists and could feel his boiling blood heating up his brain and senses.
"I'll kill them! I'll kill them all! Tell me! Tell me who I should start with first!" He gripped the girl's shoulders with an iron hold and furiously tried to shake an answer out of her. "Will (Y/n) want me to start with Bako? He was the one that hurt you first. Should I start with Alex? He tried to harm you too." As the male entered a frenzied and delusional state, his stability began slipping past his sanity as the itch inside him could not contain the emotions and malice that escaped through every word. "Ryo is always bothering you and trying to touch you. But Kaito has been playing with you for how much time. And Ren tried to do something to you. Who's blood should I spill first?!"
(Y/n)'s muscles shook as the boy hovering over her with a daring and challenging glint in his demented eyes. Her breath became clogged in her throat as her lungs seemed to shrink to make room for her pounding heart as, fear that she had never experienced before manifested into her mind, making the girl's speech stop at her dried tongue. Wordless and defenceless. She knew her body won't withstand any more trauma and could feel her senses entering an untouched part of her brain as she stared up at the crazed, feral boy while he awaited for her word of incentive.
"(Y/n) looks so frightened. She shouldn't be scared anymore. I'll take care of everything and then it can be just us. Just us without the annoying rest of the world." He embedded his hand into the girl's hair as he began stroking her with the same maddened and unstable aura that was suffocating the girl as his touches burnt against her scalp. "(Y/n) will be so happy."
As the girl could sense she was at the edge of a breakdown as she felt cornered and trapped, with the walls closing in on their forms, waiting until the moment she would be crushed under the pressure. The male was soon pulled out of her vision, and as her brain tried to comprehend the occurrence, before she heard a loud contact with the wall and sprung from her position to see a second individual standing in front of her as her assailant regained his balance from the impact.
"I think you've done enough." Ren carefully assessed the male before him as the boy became enraged at the sight of the musician and his interference.
"This is perfect. Now I know exactly who I should go for first." Jin couldn't help a satisfied smirk before he bolted towards the opposing male. Before Ren could fully move away from the attack, the knife managed to deeply graze his arm in a somewhat successful hit. The attacker smirked at the result and immediately tried for another attempt to inflict damage. However, the boy managed to grab his hand in the middle of dodging the blade and the pair began a tug and pull struggle with the knife alternating from its wielder and target. "You hurt (Y/n). Just let me kill you!"
"Can't you see you're the one hurting her the most." Ren retorted, making his opponent scowl at his words.
"Don't you dare spill out bulls**t. (Y/n) is safer with me than anyone else!" Jin brought his knee to hit the boy in the stomach, making him groan and fall to the ground as he clutched his gut. "I'm the only one that can make her happy." The boy raised the knife high above him as he pityingly stared down at his friend until the moment he would plunge the implement at him again.
"Then look at her in the eyes and tell me she looks happy." Jin stopped his movements as he stubbornly glanced back to see the female staring at the scene with wide orbs, looking at the attacker as though he were some irascible demon that would cause her harm.
"(Y/n)...?" The male gave her a deluded and concerned look as he approached the petrified girl. As the smiling boy walked towards the female, she could no longer hold in the emotions that gushed out.
(Y/n) burst into a flood of tears as her wailing cries reached the male's last bit of stable sanity. The female gasped for air as her cheeks moistened with the salted substance and her eyes burnt with the suppressed liquid. With each inhale came a vocal grunt and cough as though she were going to drown in the sorrows that materialised out of her eyes.
Jin stared at her as though dawning on an unseen realisation and as he looked towards the blood coated knife, his trembling fingers released the weapon. The blade thudded to the ground and the boy could feel his own optics stinging with tears while the female continued to bawl her eyes out. Jin quickly ran out of the room and as he stumbled into the corridor he began panting out his worry and concerns, his vision blurring with the swimming images, and shakily ran to seclude himself in his room.
Ren heavily stood up as he sympathetically gazed towards the broken girl and grunted as he began walking towards her. The musician gently placed himself down on the bed at a slight proximity to the female. Ren reached out to give her some comfort only for her to start crying harder at his presence.
"Sshhh, shh. It's alright, he's gone. Everything's calm now." Wrapping his arm around the girl's stiff body, he pulled both their frames closer to lay her head against his body and allow her to let her frustration and dolour out. He looked towards the cuffs with disgusted disapproval before running his palm against her hair in a serene manner. "Believe me, if only I had the power to release you, you won't have to be suffering through this." The female sniffed at his reassuring words and felt herself relaxing as her last tears began draining from her system. "It's ok now. You won't be trapped like this forever. Not if I have anything to do with it."
"Jin did what?" Kaito seemed shredded between the option to be in disbelief or to admit his suspicion over a situation similar to this occurring.
"I can't do this anymore. (Y/n) has been through enough and all she wants is the one little bit of freedom you're denying her. Just unlock her already! She's not going to cause herself any harm! We're harming her more like this." The intellectual entered a state of consideration and thought over the offered solution with consideration before shaking his head in denial, making Ren glare at the selfishness. "Are you kidding me...?"
Kaito sighed before tossing a black object towards the male. As Ren caught the metallic item he noticed it to be the weapon that had been taken away from him after his serious injury. the musician inwardly smirked at the gun right before he externally frowned as he opened up the chamber to notice the lack of ammunition.
"Where are the bullets?" He looked towards the knowing male before Kaito gave him a casual shrug.
"I'm not risking you causing trouble with a loaded gun. I've taken them away as a precaution and if I see it loaded, I'm going to confiscate it again." Ren couldn't help but smirk in amusement and irritation at his words.
"What are you? My dad? In any case, I'm done here. I don't know what you're trying to pull these days but I'm fairly aware you know things that we don't. And one way or another, we'll find out." Kaito lifted his shoulders in innocent denial before Ren left him with a last suspicious look.
Kaito waited until he was fully left to his lonesome to thoroughly indulge in his thoughts. 'Jin is seriously getting out of control. I need to do something about this.' He sighed in frustration and rubbed his temple before falling into his chair.
A/n:
So this is more awesome fan art from a fellow reader of Bako in psycho mode and I really do like the use of clouds in this and the atmosphere in the picture. It was made by olilymae24 who I want to thank for such a heartwarming gesture. Enjoy the nightmares kids.
And since I didn't include fan art a on chapter 74 I'll be including another two pieces made by a really loyal reader called Eyeless_Toby who who drew these cool pictures of Kaito and Alex which were quite cute in a way.
Really do appreciate every bit of support and awesomeness from all my amazing readers and it's always so heartwarming to find out people take the time and effort to draw the characters from this silly story. Thank you!
Oh and side note, a reader called Lovz_Cookie had made an abridged version of this book which has made me very stoked because I'm pretty excited about the series. So far it has only one official chapter but I can see potential in it. Go over to her and give it some love!
P.S: sorry for the short chapter, but fear not, I know what I'm doing.
