Days Thereafter

Megan stays for another two days before heading back today. The guys really like her and even engage her in some broken conversation before they ask me to translate. Lately though I've noticed Jin seems really shy. He’s different. He won’t even look me in the eyes when he talks to me, which is hardly ever now. I've even been really sweet and used aegyo once, all I got was a sigh and a pat on the head.

Jin’s P.O.V.

*Rewind to the night before the date with Jimin*

I look down at the time and see it’s 8:00. I sigh and look over at the two love birds snuggled on the couch under a blanket.

God, you would think they would have decency towards ME at least. I may have given up for Jimin but that doesn't mean I gave up my feelings for her.

I feel my pants vibrating. I take out my phone to see a text from an unknown number.

“Aren't you sick of watching them? I know everything. I can help you get her, you can help me get Jimin back. Can you guess who this is?”

Ara? No way! This is just some kind of crazy… but then how would she know all of that? How would anybody know any of that? I let my fingers do all of the questioning.

“Who is this? If its who I think it is how do you know anything? I thought you weren’t in Korea?” I send the text and wait for the reply. I glance back over to the couch and immediately regret it. Her head is on Jimin’s shoulder, his arm wrapped around her.

That should be me. I was the first one to get to know you. I should be holding you and making you feel better. I wouldn't have let you get hurt like that… My thoughts trail off when I feel my phone vibrate in my hand.

“So you do know who it is. That just makes things easier between the two of us, come outside and we’ll talk. I know you want to.”

It won’t hurt to hear what she’s thinking. She might be crazy, so I might need to stop her… I let the lie control me and head for the front door.

“Hyung! Are you going for a walk? I’ll come with you!” Kookie starts walking towards the door with me.

“No!” I yell a little too loudly. Now almost everyone but the sleeping Yoongi look at me.

“Is everything okay hyung?” Namjoon asks

“Yeah, I just need a little alone time. I don’t feel so good so I’m just going to walk around and get some fresh air.”

“Okay hyung, don’t be gone too long though, we’ll get worried.” Kookie says walking towards the kitchen. I nod and grab a jacket, heading out the door. I walk a little down the sidewalk and look around. A white car pulls up in front of me and the backseat window rolls down.

“Get in.” She says. I don’t see her but I know she’s in the backseat as well. I walk up to the door, my hand hovering over the silver handle.

This is either going to end really bad or really well. I open the door and get in.

We get to a small cafe before we say anything to one another. Her driver also comes in, sitting two tables away. His bald head reflects the light of the bulbs on the ceiling. We sit and order hot chocolates.

“You look like you’ve been well.” I mention.

She takes off her sunglasses and her black head scarf. She sets a shiny red purse on the table, then takes off black gloves, then puts everything in her bag before she looks at me. I forgot how pretty she was. She has shiny light brown hair, green eyes that remind you of emeralds and a breathtaking smile. One look at her and you wouldn’t think she was the crazy stalker she was.

“You don’t look bad yourself oppa, in fact, I think you’ve gotten even more handsome from when I last saw you!”

“Why did you want to meet me?” I get to the point

“Wow! Taking the lead for once! When did you grow a spine?” Her laughing grits against my ears.

“I didn’t come here to be made fun of. Just tell me what you want.” I try to suppress my anger.

“Oppa, it’s not what I want, it’s what WE want. I have information about everything. I know how much you want her, and I WILL have Jimin.” She spits through clenched teeth.

“And how do you think you’re going to achieve that? Last I checked you were the farthest thing from Jimin’s mind.”

“Well, I tried scuffing her a bit, making her scared. I thought she would leave, but it looks like the opposite happened.” She says looking at her nails.

I takes me 3 seconds to fully understand what she said.

“You did that to her? YOU MADE HER HURT LIKE THAT?” I stand and yell, making her look at me with wide eyes.

“Calm down before you make a scene!” She flutters her hands at me.

“I think this was a bad idea.” I spit at her, choking down my anger and hatred. I turn to walk away only to be stopped by the big bald guy.

“Please sit before I have to get physical.”

“Pshh- Are you crazy? Get outta my way.” I try to push past him only to have my jacket hood yanked, making me trip backwards.

“Sit.” He points at the chair. I glare at him then Ara, but return to the seat.

“Look, I didn’t mean for it to go that far, she just got carried away. Mian. If I want to hurt her I’ll do it myself next time.” She smiles at me.

I refuse to say anything further.I just glare at her.

“Okay, let’s get down to business. I have a little information about Jimin tomorrow. Did he tell you guys to leave him and that trash alone tomorrow night?”

My eyes widen. How does she know that? Jimin told us that today!

“I’ll take that as a yes, ok so tomorrow me and you are going to have dinner at a restaurant called Oak tomorrow. Jimin’s going to be there tomorrow with her. We’re basically going to spy on them and see if there’s anything we can use against them.”

I don’t know what to think… I’m not sure if I should like this idea as much as I do…

“What do I need to wear for tomorrow?” I ask. She gives me a beautiful smile.

“Casual black tie, if that’s a thing. Not too fancy, but not too casual either. I’m happy you agreed to help me. I really don’t understand what you see in her, but oh well. Someone for everyone right?” She smiles at me and gets up.

“I’ll take you back to the dorm.” The ride home was awkward but not at the same time. I had a new motivation. To make her see me instead of Jimin.

After practice I sneak away to the bathrooms farther away and get changed to go to Oak. I have to sneak to the taxi.

“The reservation is under your name. I’m already here.”

It takes another 5 minutes before I arrive. I walk in and am seated in front of Ara.

“Okay, now we wait for the happy couple.”

We sit there in the candlelight, sipping on wine waiting for our food to come when the guests of honor arrive.

“Now what do we do?” My eyes trailing the most beautiful girl in the room. She looks so breathtaking.

“Calm your pants. We just watch and wait now. From here we have a perfect view of everything.” We continue to watch and eat. I’m cutting a piece of my steak when I hear Ara’s fork drop on her plate. I look up to see Jimin kneeling before her. He’s giving her a necklace. I look down at my food and hold back my anger, clenching my fists.

“You know what’s going to happen now. don’t you?” Ara asks softly. I look over at her and see her take a bite of salad, a tear rolling down her beautiful face.

“Now they’re going to have a beautiful night together, confess their love to each other and not sleep till it’s morning. It’s written all over his face.” She wipes away the tears. The whole restaurant starts applauding, the girls looking in awe. Ara waves over the waiter.

“The check please.”

“So that’s it? We’re done?”

“You are done. I am just getting started. If you don’t want blood on your hands later on then don’t get involved anymore.”

“What are you talking about?” She takes a sip of her wine before answering me.

“I mean, I’m going to take away someone very close to her. So if you don’t want to be one of the people responsible for their death I suggest you don’t get involved anymore.”

“You’re crazy, but not that crazy! What are you talking about, there’s other ways to break them apart. We can make it seem like one them cheated! Or.. there’s other ways!” I plead with her.

“I’ll think about it. For the next few days I want you to give me any information about what’s going on. You can do that right?”

“If I can get you to not be so crazy, yeah.” We split the bill and head out to the white car.

“Take us to the dorms.” She says to the driver. On the way home I hear nothing more from Ara, but I can tell she’s thinking things.
I look out the window and see the night lights passing us by, I can feel her grab my arm.

“This isn’t over Jin, I will have Jimin all to myself eventually, I’ll do whatever it takes.”

I just nod and look at her.

“But why are we going to the dorms? I’m staying with Yoongi tonight.”

“I just need to make contact with someone and that was the easiest place to meet.”

We get to the dorms and wait outside silently till a knock on the window breaks the peace.

“Okay, so what’s the plan?” Why are they speaking in english?

“That little slut is going to be easy and do anything tonight. We need to make her feel pain. So much pain know one can help her with. That’s heartbreak. We’re going to have to take away someone very important from her. Jin here is going to be the eyes and ears for me and tell me everything.” The other girl gasps and looks inside. her black hoodie masks part of her but I can still make out the features of her face. She points at me starts shaking.

“Is it really oppa? OPPA SARANGHAEYO!” Ara slaps her across the face, causing her hood to fall and exposing a big scar along her face.

“Control yourself right now! You listen to me! If you can’t keep control I’ll have to make another ugly mark on your face! Then no one will ever love you!”

“I’m sorry.” She deeply bows.

“You know I’m doing this for you right? No one could love you like me, family is all you need.” Ara caresses the girls face.

I may not be able to understand the english, but I can tell she has brainwashed this girl with this abusive relationship. It’s sickening. I don’t think I can go through with this.

“I can’t do this, You are crazy, and I’m even crazier for listening to all of your bullshit.” I grab the handle to leave when headlights appear and a black car stops in front of the dorms. It’s both of them.

“You think all I’m saying is bullshit?” Ara whispers in my ear. I can feel her scooting closer to me.

“Look at them. The way he’s all over her, that should be you. You and her would look so great together. She would have the time of her life with someone like you, but no. Jimin came into the picture. Now look at you, sitting on the sideline while he’s about to take all of her. A part which you can’t have, because of him.” Her words were snaking their way into my brain. I could feel myself start to shake, everything started turning red.

That should be me making her laugh, kissing her, making her fall in love with me! Not Park Jimin! She should be saying my name and looking pretty for me!

I look forward and keep my hands at my sides. I can feel an angry tear roll down to my chin, then making its way onto my blazer.

“What do you want me to do. I don’t care what we have to do.” Ara leans closer and wipes my cheek.

“That’s the spirit. We’ll separate them in no time, and then you can be together, okay?”

I look back up to where our dorm is and see a light get turned off.

“Fine.”
