Chapter 72 – Not Dragon Or Leader But Johnny Suh.
And when he finally found her broken body on the dirt road in the middle of nowhere the only thing he could think of was that he was without a doubt, the most horrible monster. The first thing he noticed as he stepped towards her was how she refused to look him in the eyes.
“SoMi….”
“Let me guess.” She cuts him off as she began taking. “Your pride got in the way, you refused to save me because I’m your so-called claimed weakness, so why’d you so it in the end? Because it would fit your conscience?” She hissed angrily, and both were shocked at her sudden statement, Johnny couldn’t blame her, he expected these words.
“You didn’t deserve to die, that’s why, especially not because of me.” He answered and she snapped up from bee, he saw she winced in pain and rushed over to help her.
“Hey, easy there.” He said as he helped he sit back I’m bed, his hands caressing her head and back gently.
She eyed him oddly, not quite sure how to react to his behavior. Johnny was never a poster child for being kind and considerate, he was quite the opposite of that.
“Why are you here?” She softly questioned. She didn’t want him to see her like this, beaten and broken.
“To protect you.” He answered. “Because no one protected you in such a long time.” He knew those words hit her when he saw her head lower.
“You pick now, right now of all times to start protecting me? After everything my grandfather did? After all the things I’ve been through, you pick now, as the best time?!” She half-shouted furiously.
“I know that I’m late….”
“Late! Try ten years late!” She reminded through clouded eyes. She didn’t know where this side of her come from, but it feels good, releasing her locked up emotions, she’s been storing everything for long.
“I in.” He Sai disappointedly looking away from her. His pride was gone, his ego pushed away, here standing before her was just Johnny Suh, not the Dragon, the leader of NCT127, but Johnny Suh, the idiot who destroyed her life.
Neither of them mouthed a single word for what felt like an eternity. It was finally SoMi who spoke. “So where are you shipping me off to now?” She asked knowingly. She knew he wants letting her stay in Seoul, or in Korea and maybe in Asia for that matter.
He almost laughed at her words because he expected that kind of question. “You understand why I’m doing this right? In order to protect you.”
“Protect me by sending me away? You’re just letting me go. What kind of man are you to let a woman go just like that?”
He thought bitterly about it. “You know those type of guys that needs to let a girl go, but can’t because they’re too selfish to live without the girl. “Let’s just say…I’m too selfish to let you suffer any longer. I’m too selfish to let you stay.”
“And I have no say into this…” She replied sadly as tears dared to fall from her eyes. What was she to say, what was she to do.
“You don’t want to stay anymore so you?”
SoMi took the longest time to reply, but her answer was what mattered to him. “No!” She whispered as her tears finally fell down onto her bruise porcelain skin. “I’m tired, I don’t want to stay any longer, I don’t want to do this anymore.”
And inwardly it broke his heart because he made Jeon SoMi, the strongest woman he’s ever met, cry. It broke his heart even more to let her go, but this was the right thing to do, he told himself. She was free, he said, because she of all people deserved it.
…..
“You shouldn’t be out of bed.” Taeyong insisted when he finally found SoMi.
The past few days her feel too slow. After her talk with Johnny, she never saw him again. She knew he was purposely avoiding her but she didn’t know why.
She knew she should be mad at him, furious even, but she couldn’t. She wanted to tell at him, she wanted to push him away, but in the end, she just ended up wanting him more. It was so new to her, the feeling of wanting someone in our life regardless of how much pain they caused you.
“You can’t lock me up in bed all day.” She insists. “Not when you’re planning on shipping me off today.” She reminded and even without looking at Taeyong she one that he was frowning.
“You want to leave, don’t you? You want to escape from all this?” He asked.
“Yes.” She answered with a sad knowing smile on her face as she turned towards him.
Her face still had a bruise on her forehead and a scratch on her left cheeks, but her face was blister free. He couldn’t say the same about the rest of her box. She was a healing cripple soul, and he didn’t know how long it would take for both her physical wounds and emotional ones to heal up.
“You do want to stay, don’t you? You want to stay so badly it hurts to leave, because you’ll be leaving your whole life behind.”
“Yes.” She repeated.
