Title: Follow Up... (Chap.2/?)
Pairings: Changmin/OC (livia)
Rating: General (maybe a slight angst later)
Genre: Fluff/angst (for now at least!)
Summary: Things seemed to run smoothly for the new couple until a new threat emerges, and Changmin's job is at stake...
Stepping inside the apartment Changmin is instantly greeted by an extremmely happy Livia, running towards him, tightly holding a piece of paper in her hand.
"Changmin! You'll never guess! I've go it! I've got the job! They say they liked my first draft and they wanna read more!" The green-eyed girl had circled her arms around Changmin's neck and proceed to kiss him hungrily when she saw the strange expression he had on his face.
"Baby?...what's-"
"We need to talk."
"O-Ok"
Hesitantly Livia detached herself from the tall man and proceed to follow him in the living room, where Changmin had already taken place.
Sitting with his legs crossed and arms resting on his knees, he looked exactly like the bodyguard that was introduced to her that dreadful day when she had to leave everything she owned in the blink of an eye.
The young girl felt a knot slowly forming inside her chest as she took place on the floor in front of her man. She sighed heavily, not sure what to expect.
Formal, and straightforward, Changmin started explaining the situation.
The plan was simple: they would all be transferred to a safe house, and remained there until further notice. Then if Changmin or his boss decided it was wise and safe enough to move out they would be easily transferred to a second less protected safe house.
Livia listened, unable to form a coherent thought. The extactic joy she had felt a minute ago, had vanished in a blink of an eye.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of hands around her neck that slowly but surely were applying pressure.
The more Changmin talked about procedures to follow, orders to obey and protection to be raised at its maximum, the more Livia felt her neck being squeezed and air being sucked out of her lungs.
The bodyguard didn't seem to notice though, figuring the lack of colour on his girlfriend's face was due to the news shock.
Never once, did he stopped his speech, hoping the green-eyed girl would understand the seriousness of the situation and the impossibility for him to not resolve this case.
"I've already sent teams to your parents house, and them and your brother should be under surveillance in less than an hour, so you don't have to worry about that."
The young girl stared back, eyes glassy and totally unable to open her mouth.
"And...oh yeah I forgot-" Changmin took out a small object from his pocket, and hand it out to her.
"Here. That's in case there's any problem. It's a small taeser. I'll show you how to use it."
Livia raised her hand and absentmindly grabbed the small item, but as soon as she touched it she dropped it. The hands on her neck were so tight she felt like she was going to pass out any moment, and when she raised her head, thinking her lover's face would make it better, she screamed.
Changmin stopped talking abruptly and stared at her, eyes wide open.
"Livie what the-"
Livia tried to say something but the only thing she could mouth out was "NO". The face in front of her wasn't the sweet, reassuring one of her beloved bodyguard, but the smirking and cold one of Yoong Won!
Deep fear had now took control of her brain and tears were starting to pool in her eyes. The events that had occured a few months ago, were rapidly emerging again, and with them the memory of the pain and anxiety she had felt at that time.
She felt in the eye of the hurricane, unable to move or step outside in fear of it getting worse.
A whirlwind of emotions was running in her head. She started shaking unwillingly. But still no words could come out of her mouth. She felt the hands applying even more pressure and was about to stop fighting when Changmin hugged her firmly.
Her first instinct was to scream, thinking Yoong Won was the one holding her.
But when Changmin whispered softly in her ear, she finally woke up from her living nightmare.
"It's ok....shhhh...it's ok Livie....I'm here. It's gonna be fine don't worry...shh"
He started rocking her; gently rubbing her back at the same time.
The highly trained man was left clueless as to why his girlfriend had suddenly went crazy. He figured all of this would have come as a shock, but certainly not to that extent. Feeling the brown haired girl finally relaxing a bit, he detached himself from her and cupped her face with his left hand.
"Baby, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, it's just-"
"I'm sorry" Livia barely whispered and that was all she could manage to do.
Her hallucinations had stopped and she could finally feel the warmth and love Changmin was trying to convey.
"I-I'll-I'll do what you want...."
The bodyguard looked at her, still worried. He leaned down and kissed her softly.
"It's gonna be ok, I promise you." Determination could be heard in the lean man's voice. However, what struck Livia the most was that despite the normal display of affection and the sincerity in his words, Changmin had changed. And that frightened her even more than the so cold threat.
