Red String of Fate
I couldn't bring myself to believe in whatever Soojung and Suzy had told me about Bangtan Boys. After all, it was just a rumor.
They say rumors don't care what is true.
"Miss, I might get scolded if you do my job for me." A healthy looking old man approached me as I was watering the flowers.
I smiled warmly at him. He must be the gardener who kept all the flowers in check and took care of them.
"Don't worry, ahjussi. It's still early and I will leave right after this, I promise!" I assured him with another smile and showed him my little aegyo.
A hearty smile slowly spread across his wrinkled features. "Very well, thank you, Miss." He nodded and then left me all alone in the garden again.
I inhaled deeply for the fresh air after I was done watering the flowers, feeling satisfied and accomplished. I held my hair back as suddenly the wind blew so strong. I couldn't help but check on the flowers, and a frown formed on my lips. The flowers looked like they could collapse in any second because of the blustery winds.
"Hey, look out!"
I was startled by the sudden loud voice, but before I could even search for that voice, a cry of surprise escaped my lips as I was suddenly pushed to the side with a great force. Along with that, I heard the sound of broken flower pot to the ground.
"O-ouch..." I whimpered in pain because I think I was hurt somewhere, and I didn't dare to move an inch. Slowly, I opened my eyes and blinked a few times to have a better look at what had happened to me. When my blurry vision became clear, my eyes widened to its full extent when I saw a guy. And he was...
Sitting. On. Top. Of. Me.
I stared up at him in confusion as he huffed out a relief breath. Then, he brought his gaze down to me, and I noticed how his brown eyes slowly widened in disbelief.
In those nanoseconds, he just continued staring at me so long, like he was trying to solve a difficult puzzle, like I was a mystery that he needed to know the answers to every of it. But it became so long that I decided to say, he looked like he had never seen a Homo sapiens before.
"Um, could you like... get off me?" My mind and mouth were quick enough to say that when I could not take his long stare anymore. And I found out that I could not move because of his weight on me.
I saw his eyes enlarged again, maybe offended or not expecting for me to say that. Don't blame me. I have never been into this kind of situation before, where you were happily watering the flowers and the next second some guy was hovering on top of you.
Besides, he was starting to give me weird vibes. I could just say that he was a pervert, but then, he didn't look like one at all. I mean, this guy was gorgeous. He didn't have to act like one when I knew girls would be the one that go pervert for him.
"I-I'm sorry." He apologized, his voice came out breathy as he was still trying to catch his breath.
In swift motion, he effortlessly removed his athletic build and got up. Then, he faced away from me and became quiet for a moment. His expression looked bewildered as he had his one hand cupping his mouth while another stayed on his side waist.
I sat up from the ground and let out a soft groan as I felt the pain, especially at my backbone. I guessed it was because of the sudden impact. When he heard my small whimper, he quickly came to my aid and helped me to stand back up.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" He finally asked me as his dark brown eyes scrutinized my figure carefully.
My head frowned as I tried to fight the pain, but I was suddenly muted when I noticed a glint of worry flickered across his brown eyes. It was such a strange sight, coming from a stranger like him. And it was also strange that I began to hear a loud thumping sound against my chest.
"Are you okay?" He asked, still looking concerned when I did not answer him. His voice sounded suave, that for a second there, I tried to avoid the fact that his voice made my heart did a little retarded flip.
I nodded at him as I tried to pull away my arm from his hold. But when I did, an involuntary whine escaped from my mouth again when I felt a sharp pain surged around my elbow joint.
That guy was suddenly alarmed by my reaction, so he carefully pulled up my uniform sleeve. I shut my eyes tight when I saw my elbow was bleeding pretty badly.
"It's bleeding..." He mumbled under his breath, and I gave him a stare.
Mate, I think I can see that too.
"Let's go to the infirmary." He suggested and looked at me, waiting for my response.
"Um, it's okay. I'll just go by myself." I pulled my elbow away and cracked a half smile at him.
He seemed like he wanted to say something, but somehow, he looked like he was hesitating too. So, I bowed a little and left him.

I let out a deep sigh as I waited for the others to arrive in the music room located at the third level. When I heard the door opened, I turned around and saw Jimin entering the room. But, his step halted when he saw me. He did not greet me, but instead, he checked his wrist watch and looked back at me. And he did it once again, just in case.
"Who are you? Where have you kidnapped Kim Taehyung to?" Jimin asked with full of seriousness, pretending to aim a gun at me and took a few cautious steps towards me.
"Stop overreacting." I hissed at him with a blank face.
And with that, he smiled cheekily at me. He threw his bag, God knows where. Then, he slung his arm over my shoulder that I was taken aback and groaned silently as the incident just now caused my shoulders some pain that I didn't noticed.
"So, tell me. Did something good happen?" Jimin asked with a teasing smirk. It seemed that he was suspecting something because of my unexpected early arrival to school.
"I don't know. Does falling hard onto the ground and injured your shoulders counted as good?"
"No," He blinked a few times. "Wait, you injured yourself?" His expression dropped as he eyes grew worried.
"I'm just kidding, Jims," I smirked at him, while he gave me a death glare.
"Don't call me with that name ever again," he warned while grimacing at me. He hated that name, and I just loved it when he cringed.
"It's weird that you're the first one here, since you're not a morning person, and procrastinating is like, what, your middle name?" He got back at me.
"Shut up," I growled at him, which he replied with a giggle.
"Are you seeing someone that you came early just to have a morning breakfast with her?" He started to guess wildly.
"Why would I sacrifice my sleep just to see a girl? Are you out of your mind?" I frowned. "Just stop asking already."
"Don't tell me you've met someone who looks like her?" He faked a shocking gasp. Then, he was laughing so hard at his own words. "That would be so impossible, right?" He shook his head and muttered a soft 'what an idiot', probably at himself.
I froze there, caught off guard by his wild guessing. Not knowing how to react, I just kept ruffling my hair roughly, making it messy in the process. I felt frustrated because something had been bothering my mind. I knew what it was, but I decided not to honor the very thought.
"It's my little sister. She had my alarm clock adjusted just to prank me. So I rushed to the school, thinking that I was late and, bam, broke a new record." I told Jimin the truth and let out a sigh again.
"Sohyun did a great job at waking you up this time. Tell her that she has my full support." He nodded and gave me a thumbs up, while I gave him the finger.
As Jimin was playing games on his phone while yawning non-stop, my mind drifted in wonder and the incident with the flower girl just had to replay in my memory box. Is she okay? I groaned and mentally rolled my eyes. I hated that I bothered myself with a stranger. Moreover, it was a girl.
Jungkook arrived along with the other hyungs (big brothers) and they started to make weird noises, talking continuously and even started bickering over small matters. Normally, I would join them, but at that moment, I just didn't feel like it. My mind kept on thinking about the flower girl, that I felt like my brain was close to blow up. Maybe I just have to...
"Hey, Tae! Where are you going?!" Jimin shouted as he saw me rushing to the door.
"Don't wait for me, Jims!" I yelled back and heard him cussed before I sped down the hallway...
...hoping to see her at the infirmary.

"I mean, there are seven boys which people called as Bangtan boys. Among those seven, who's the murderer? It can't be all of them, right?"
"Well.. The one who always with his serious handsome face,"
