chapter 21: Breaking News
Mrs. Kim died three years ago?! How is this possible.... It had to be the wrong Mrs. Kim.
"Ma'am you must be looking at the wrong Mrs. Kim. My friend, Kim Namjoon, he is currently paying her surgery bills each month." I said now a lot more desperate.
"I don't think so. We have only four Mrs. Kim patients and they haven't had a son, but one of them has three daughters." She said. She did more typing. "Oh! This Mrs. Kim, the mother of Kim Namjoon, I pulled up his birth information. That exact Mrs. Kim, died three years ago." She said again dropping all my hopes.
How was I suppose to tell Rapmonster? "But my friend is still paying her surgery bills!" I said.
"Oh dear, we must've gotten his email on repeat." I looked at her confused." Three years ago our system wasn't where it is now, if there was a glitch the email just kept resending." She said with a sorry nod.
I wasn't buying that crap. Machine on repeat. No you dirty liars you wanted all his money he worked so hard every morning till every night for!!
"Then reimburse him." I said more as a threat than a statement.
She looked at me confused. " I'm sorry honey but that isn't going to happen. I'd have to talk to the authorities and I don't think they would reimburse you." She said now finding my attitude annoying.
"Then talk to the authorities or I will!" I said getting worked up.
The lady now looked like she wanted to tell me the conversation was over, but just because I am young doesn't mean you can take advantage of me.
"Honey, it's not happening." She said again.
"I will sue you." I said not really sure how it works but I could figure it out.
"Bring me to the AUTHORITIES!" I yelled.
She rolled her eyes then got up. A couple minutes later she came back with a man with a comb-over who looked like he was in his late forties. He was also extremely short.
"I don't know how to say this but I can't reimburse the money! I'm sorry!" He said obviously not caring.
"I'm not buying that crap! Reach in the cash register, and hand me three years worth of surgery refund!"
The lady across the room huffed and came over. "I don't care if I loose my job she deserves to know what happened." The lady looked at me as I was very confused now. "Mrs. Kim didn't die.....we were doing surgery on her about three years ago but one day she just disappeared. She wasn't in the room when we came to feed her breakfast. We don't know if she ran out or was taken against her will. Because believe me....it happens. Mr. Money stealer over here didn't want things getting complicated so he said she died, but he kept sending the email." She said.
The man looked at her and mouthed 'you're fired' but she took off her name pin and was walking away anyway. "I can't do this anymore, lying to the patients. I'd hate it if I had to go through it."
He looked back up at me. "That's all nonsense. I'm not returning any money!" He said walking away.
I was completely and utterly dumbfounded. How in the world could they just steal from Rapmonster like that. All that work....for nothing. He lost his house.....for nothing.
Jungkook came up behind me " was there a problem?"
I didn't know how much I should tell him, it wasn't my situation after all but yes there was a HUGE problem.
"Yeah there's a problem, but don't worry about it, I'll see what I can do."
He looked confused. " What happened?"
"Nothing, I need to get home, do you mind staying with Jhope a little longer? He gets released this weekend, if his head is feeling any better."
"I don't mind. If the problem gets any worse, you can tell me about it. Where did Yoongi go? I sorta fell asleep while he was talking."
That was a hard question. Where did Yoongi go? " I think he's going to be gone for a little while, but he wishes you to be okay." I said.
With that Jungkook's face frowned up and he dialed Yoongi's number while walking away.
I walked out of the hospital building and I realized I didnt have a ride. I would have to walk to the bus station......ugh.
But then I saw Jin walking in my direction. I wonder what he was doing here....
"Hello beautiful." He said to me.
"Hi handsome, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well, the doctors like to study my face now and then to put on magazines what a perfect face looks like." He joked. "Porportions that is."
I laughed. Jin was always doing something you wouldn't expect. I don't know why he worked at IHop if he was an actor.
"Jin, why do work at IHop if you are an actor?"
"Because I love cooking!" He said.
He looked at his watch, "I have free time, do you need a ride somewhere?"
Jin was a gift from God. He was an angel, I was sure of it. "Thank you Jin I appreciate it so much."
I hopped in his car and he dropped me off at my house. I waved goodbye and he blew me a kiss and drove away.
When I got inside the house it was around 5:23 a.m.. it had taken so long to see if Jhope was okay, then spending time with him, THEN learning about Namjoon's "dead" mom. It was really confusing all together....and we definitely were going to get back that money.
Rapmonster and Alex were eating breakfast. I forgot to text them I was at the hospital, and I missed tutoring V after school.
"Where were you?!" Alex yelled at me. "Oooo I bet you were at Jimin's house!"
I rolled my eyes. "Rapmonster, we need to talk. And I was at the hospital, Jhope had fallen so we had to make sure he was okay"
Rapmonster shrugged. I don't think he knew who Jhope was, but that is okay.
I looked at Alex and told him to beat it. After complaining he complied and went upstairs leaving me to explain the news to Rapmonster.
After I explained everything to Rapmonster he was just shocked. He only said one thing. "I know what I have to do" I'm not really sure what he meant by that but I was sure it was probably something serious.
It was about that time where I had to go back to school. I wasn't going to be late but I was so tired from staying up all night. I couldn't ride my bike either, because I left that at Chilli's a while back.
So I just walked. As I was walking V ran up beside me. "You didn't tutor me again and I got a D+!!" He complained.
"I'm so sorry V, I was busy at the hospital."
He was about to complain again but when I said hospital he figured it was serious. "Fine, you can make it up to me by getting me a date with Jennie."
I shrugged. "It's her heart not mine,I'm done playing around with boys."
"Yeah but I wasn't asking you out, I wanted to ask Jennie out!"
"Once a cheater always a cheater." I said picking up my pace hoping he'd leave me alone.
V rolled his eyes and walked pass me.
When I got to the school I saw Jimin walking through a hall then stopping at some girl's locker. He was smiling at her sweetly then handed her a rose.
It hit me so hard in the chest. Why did I let Park Jimin go? He'd never accept me back, he'd already moved on. He was happy, but I was......lonely?
I shook my head. I don't need boys to make me happy. I said to myself over and over again. But when I saw him kiss her on the cheek, like he once did with me.....it hurt a lot.
Maybe I wasn't ready for a relationship, but I was ready for Park Jimin. I sighed. I can't do this to myself, or him. I gave him up for the better good. I'm sure I was high making that decision but it didn't matter.
He linked his arms with the pretty girl and walked away.
Lisa came up right next to me. "Ugh. I know right? Her name is Elizabeth, I wish she'd leave my brother alone. I want to keep the Mochi for myself!" She said looking in the direction I was staring in. Lisa obviously thought her brother was the cutest thing, and so did I. But whatever, I'm pretty sure there are more Park Jimin's in the sea. I mean fish in the sea. My bad.
I was about to go to English when I heard Lizzie arguing with Josh. I couldn't help it, I listened.
"Lizzie, I could get fired!" He said.
"We need this Josh, how else is the money going to start coming in? I need this house, unless you want an abortion, you need to start working more. The sooner we move out of our parents' house the better."
I stopped listening......an abortion?!!
