Psycho Couple✔️

News of the day: “Sam Hyung Cha, a 55 year old man, reportedly gone missing. After he tried sexually harassing victim ‘A’ the victim has confirmed he had molested her earlier as well. Thanks to a lady walking on the scene she was saved from his horrendous accts. Police have put forward a reward of one million won to whoever spots him out.”

Jimin scoffed while watching the news. “Should we hand him over to the police and get that reward?” You joked. “There’s no way I’m setting that asshole free.” Kissing your cheek he placed your head on his lap. “Why did we buy an additional refrigerator? There was no need to show generosity towards those monsters.” Jimin smiled.

“To answer your question, we are playing with their brains. There’s nothing in it. Yet it’ll spark a sense of security in their heart and bring forward a new desire to live.” He knew how to handle his hostages. “Can I confess something?” Jimin waited patiently for you to continue. “I’m low-key scared of that old hag.”

“Don’t be, I’m here for you. A single move from him and I’ll kill him.” He was aware of what a heinous creature this man was. “I’ll be back home late at night tomorrow. My students are participating in a dance competition.” He was excited. Dance was Jimin’s escape. Also the perfect profession why none could question his obnoxious behaviour after his classes.

In people’s eyes Jimin was a gentle man who couldn’t even hurt a fly. A pure depiction of personality misconception they had developed in their minds and hearts. Boosting up your chances of surviving without the constant fear of getting caught. “Your students would definitely win. After all, you're their coach.” Bopping his nose you stare at his face peering at you with love and adoration.

-4:30 P.M.-

Unlocking the door you walk inside after a tiring day. “I couldn’t even eat anything. Such a tiring day it was.” Slumping down on the couch you exhale and inhale. Usually you'd go back home with Jimin. Even if you had got back home alone he’d make sure you had eaten your meals. “I’m missing him, though it’s just a few hours away from us meeting.”

Climbing up the stairs you untie your hairs leaving it free. Picking out your clothes heading to the bathroom. Making sure to lock the hatchway. “Pervert Jimin, would have joined me in shower if he was here.” Chuckling to yourself you strip yourself off your clothes. Standing under the shower.

Hot water ran down your frame, calming down your stressed nerves. Swiping your hair back you shut your eyes close. “Jimin will come back soon.” Murmuring to yourself you shampoo your hairs. It wasn’t a new thing for either of you to stay away from each other. Today, however, you had this distinct feeling arising in your heart.

Sounds of footsteps alerted you. Turning off the shower instantly. Going numb on your spot. A shadow could be seen outside your door. “Who is it? Jimin, is that you?” There was no sound. The figure retracted away from the door. Quickly washing your body you throw clothes on your body.

Removing a hammer from the tool kit you had kept in case for repair. It was Jimin’s idea, which you were thankful for today. Clutching it firmly in your hand you unlock the door cautiously. Stepping a foot out making sure no one was in there. You exhaled a breath of relief. “What the fuck was that? Chim isn’t here. Whose shadow was it?” The dirt lingering on the floor didn’t go unnoticed by you.

“Looks like our prisoner is out.” Dialling Jimin’s number you wait for him to pick up. Only for it to move to voicemail. “Chim listen to me carefully, he broke out from our basement. Come back home as soon as possible.” No sooner had you said this, a harsh impact fell on your head.

Falling down unconscious on the ground.  He grinned, eyeing your body lying in a pool of your own blood. Wet hairs and petite figure, all submissive. “Your husband really underestimated me.” Picking you up over his shoulders he walked down the stairs tying you to a chair. Moving around the house grabbing weapons for his safety.

-AN HOUR LATER-

Waking up with a pounding head, blood patches were seen on your face. Lips slightly bruised by the rough fall. “You’re awake.” Caressing his beard lightly he smirked at you. “Since the second I laid my eyes on you I’ve been waiting to get a taste of you.” He brought his hand up to touch your face.

You avert your head. “Say something, didn’t you offer me water yesterday?” Suddenly he started running towards the basement. Kidnapping and murdering wasn’t something uncommon to you, hence you freed yourself from those ropes, striding to the kitchen picking up the telephone calling Jimin.

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•

He opened the door, really quiet, rushing to plunge the dagger across his back. A yelp of pain left his mouth. You turned around with the phone still in your hands. “Jimin,” your hands shivered. Jimin was stabbing him mercilessly. Taking the knife placed on the kitchen counter. Gauging his eyes out with it. Blood splattered across his face. He wasn’t satisfied yet.

“Go into our room, I’ll be back soon.” Without looking at you he ordered. He didn’t want you seeing him like this. You scurry to your room.

-TWO HOURS LATER-

He entered the bedroom to see you sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor. Jimin got the first aid kit from the cupboard. “I shouldn’t have left you alone, today. That Motherfucker hurt you in my absence.” Wiping the blood with a cotton pad he parted your hair, applying antiseptic lotion. “I was scared, he was gonna touch me.”

“He’ll never touch you. In fact he won’t ever touch any other girl. I’ve made sure of that.” Covering your head with a bandage he asked you to lift up your arms, changing your clothes. “I’ll bathe and come back ok?” Worriedly glancing at you he quickly went inside the restroom to take a bath. Coming back in no time.

You laid on the bed, back facing him. Jimin moved inside the sheets. Wrapping his arms around you. “Do you want to move cities?” “No, I’m fine.” His usual chirpy wife was all silent today. “I won’t ever leave you alone.” Kissing your nape, tears shed from his eyes.

-THE NEXT DAY-

News of the day: “Missing criminal Sam Hyung Cha found thrown near a lake. His eyes were gouged out and stuffed in a sac. Along with his hands and penis chopped out and placed beside his body. ‘P’ is predicted to be the killer as per the forensic reports as a ‘P’ was seen carved on his neck. “Filth needs to be deducted from this society.” Was inscribed on Cha's stomach. He was stripped naked.”

“Reports also claim Cha has been molesting women for a few years. And threatened his victims to not speak up. ‘P’ killing him brings out really shocking questions. Looking back to his previous kills as well. They all held messages, monitoring through them. It all connects to girl protection. So is ‘P’ a girl? If yes, why is she killing these men? Are they related to each other somehow?”

“No matter what the reason is, murdering people and taking the law in your hands is a crime. Shootout on the spot order hasn’t been removed from ‘P’ as of now. We’ll bring to you every update that we receive. Your watching KBS daily.”

His back rested on the headboard, embracing you. “How are you feeling?” Pecking your forehead he noticed the obvious eye bags under your eyes. “I had a nightmare.” Nightmares were a problem you suffered from childhood. Jimin always felt helpless. “Will you like to take up therapy?” He asked the same question every time. Nightmares aren’t something that could be cured by a psychiatrist.

“It won’t cure me, Chim. Most importantly it’s risky. What if they make me spill all our basement stories?” Laying your head on his chest you sadly replied. “I’ll be there by your side.”

Closing your eyes you deny his proposal. “I’m fine, you're here with me, that's all that matters to me. ” Your voice wavered in the end. “I’ve emailed your workplace for a sick leave. Today I’ll stay back and take care of you.”

How did Jimin fail? Didn’t he tie up Cha perfectly? What went wrong for him to free himself from Jimin’s torment and attack you?
