Chapter 48 – Lust For Power
Johnny turned the corner to the last door on the right, unlike the other shabby run-down doors, this door had a built-in fail pad next to it. He opened the pad and typed in the combo, the light on the pad lit green, he grabbed the unlocked door knob and pushed the door open.
He didn’t bother to hold the door for her, or wait for her. So she let herself in, she took a quick look at the place and concluded that he didn’t spend much time here. There was a thick layer of dust on the side table by the door. A single couch and an old rug with a small coffee table occupied the living room. She took a few more steps as Johnny headed towards the small hallway which led to the bedroom.
SoMi stood there shuffling her feet back and forth wondering when he had bought the place, was it before he came to Korea or after. Judging from the dust she knew that no one lived here.
“What are you doing?” Johnny asked as he walked back into the room. His blazer and shirt were off and he was left in a black muscle shirt and jeans that hung loosely on him.
“I can ask you the same. Why are you here? Why aren’t we going back?” She asked.
He ran his fingers through his already messy hair. He looked like he was deciding if he should lie to her, or tell her the truth.
“Don’t you dare lie to me.” She snapped.
“I feel like someone is following us. I need to make sure it’s safe before we leave. If we go back to the hideout right away, we’re basically leading whoever is following us back here.” He replied.
She searched his eyes for any signs of deceit, but found none. Then again, she usually couldn’t see anything in his eyes.
“What about Taeyong and Doyoung?” She brought up.
“They said they would clean up the mess, what if they ran into trouble.” She doubted that they will.
“I already called them.” He replied. “They’ll be staying somewhere else tonight while the others figure out what’s going on.” He finished.
She nodded understandingly. “So what the hell are we supposed to do till then?” She didn’t even know how long it would take the others to figure things out. When she noticed that Johnny wasn’t replying, she decided to cut the tension that had magically risen within the quick time span.
SoMi loved the silence, it gave her the chance to clearly think things out. Right now however, she just wanted to turn around and walk out that door. The silence was thick and and uncomfortable at least for her.
“Do you have any clothes?” She asked. SoMi was feeling so uncomfortable in her dress and Justin wanted to strip the fabric off.
“No.” He replied, he exhaled deeply before he added on. “Why?”
“I want to change.” She answered matter of factly.
He did a quick check through her body and she felt his scrutinizing eyes run up and down her body and she didn’t feel disgusted like when Chenle did it. She saw him flinched as he looked away.
“Wear my shirt.” He declared turning around and walking around back into the bedroom before returning with his black dress shirt and throwing it in her direction. She caught it effortlessly before giving a curious glance at him.
“Put the d@mn thing on.” He hissed as if he was holding back.
She rolled her eyes at his nagging tone before asking where the bathroom was. He pointed down the hallway and she concluded that the bathroom was the one opposite of the bedroom.
She made her way to the bathroom and close the door behind her, she sighed in relief when fresh oxygen filled her lungs. She didn’t know why but the mood in the living room was deafening and thick. She felt like Johnny was in a mental battle with herself, if only she could decipher what it was, who he was in the battle with.
She looked at the shirt in her arm and a soft blush appeared on her face when she realized this was his. Something about this was too disturbing for his taste. It was something couple did, and she and Johnny were barely a couple, just two people bond by their families; Lust for power.
