Chapter 43- Airport
Previous night
At Chae-Rin's house
Before the party.
"Hey, Rin, you ready?" Cody calls at his girlfriend as he enters her room.
"Don't call me, Rin. Jimin did that. You are not Jimin, " She tells him with a cold voice.
Cody's smile falls from his face and he realizes that he needs to confront his girlfriend about the thing that has been bothering him that past days.
" Chae-Rin, you haven't developed feelings for Jimin, by any chance, have you?" he asks cautiously hoping she gives him the answer that he wants.
"N-no?" Chae-Rin says, unsure, while it comes out more as a question than a statement.
A sudden fire starts boiling in Cody's stomach, "Why aren't you sure?" he asks, his voice shaking a little bit as he knows his fears are about to be confiemed.
"Why would I have feelings for Jimin?" Chae-Rin says, this time with a more stable voice as she turns around to face her boyfriend.
Cody looks at her and lets out a chuckle as he realizes, "You do. Why else would you want to start communicating with him? And that time you forced them to sit on a double date with us," he starts saying as realization hits him once again, "You want him back don't you?"
He looks at her straight in the eyes for a second, but he storms away before Chae-Rin can give him an answer.
"Fuck!" Chae-Rin says aggressively as Cody slams is he door behind him.
During the party.
At the club.
Cody decided to go to the party alone and drink away his heartache. While thinking of all the times Chae-Rin fooled him as well.
She is sooo manipulative.
He thinks as he takes another shot of Vodka, as he raises his head up to signal to the bartender to give him another round he sees you. Sitting on that stool from the other side of the bar, awaiting to be handed your drink.
Suddenly he gets an idea.
He knows you are not on the list of Chae-Rin's favorite people.
He gets a sudden need of seeking revenge from Chae-Rin, for using him like that. And also seek revenge from Jimin for having stolen Chae-Rin's heart from him.
So best way to pay back both Jimin and Chae-Rin? You.
Chae-Rin won't be satisfied to find out that Cody is spending time with you instead of her, and also Jimin, as your biyfriend, will be furious, since Cody has a record of stealing girls from Jimin.
"Huh, was not expecting you'd drink something like that," Cody says as he pops up from your side startling you.
"Cody," you smile.
Well you know what happened next to need to retell the events.
At the Party
After you and Jimin walked out on Cody and Chae-Rin.
"Why were you with her?" Chae-Rin asks as she turns to look at a furious Cody.
"Me?" he heaves and points to his chest while giving hes a glare that screams he is mad, "It was you in that room with that jerk!" he raises his voice, however Chae-Rin doesn't even flinch. She only looks at Cody through hooded eyelids.
"Have I ever told you that you look hot when you're mad?" she whispers seductively in his ear.
"W-what?" he asks, voice much calmer and weaker.
"You do..." she says and smashes her lips on his, "Give me a second and go on," she says and pushes him in the room she came out of a while ago.
She walks a few doors down and opens a pink one. Once she goes in she sees the two teens, that saw everything that happened a bit ago, sitting on the bed, as if they're discussing something.
"You two," she points to both of them with her finger, "I want you to spread the word about something."
Next Morning.
Chae-Rin's bedroom, at her house.
Chae-Rin is asleep sleeping in Cody's arms, who happens to be awake and staring at her face.
I'm such a fool for you...
I know you're using me, yet again I cannot escape your spells.
Why do you have to be so beautiful?
Do you even have real feelings for me?
We've been seeing each other for nearly two years....
I can't all be fake, right?
Even if it is...
I have no choice but to fight and make you have feelings for me...
"I do have feelings for you, you pabo.." Chae-Rin mumbles.
"What?" Cody responds, baffled.
"You spoke your thoughts...," Chae-Rin smiles and opens her eyes to look at him, "I do have feelings for you, I wouldn't have been with you for so long If I didn't...,"
"Then why are you chasing after Jimin?" he asks her, looking straight into his eyes.
"Because I have feelings for him too...," she admits, with no shame.
These words feel like a knife to the heart for Cody.
"Am I not enough?" he asks
"You are, but I want more," she says and starts tracing circles on his bicep.
"Can I ever become all that you want?" he asks, "Tell me because I want to know if I should keep fighting for you," he sighs and turns to face the ceiling.
"You have me...," she says and turns his head to kiss him again.
That is all it takes to have Cody being her love sick puppy again.
Okay, I think we saw enough of Chae-Rin and Cody. Let's go back to you, who are sleeping on the couch in the boy's house.
"Noona? Why are you asleep?" Jungkook says as he sees you lightly snoring your tiredness out.
"What's she doing here?" Jimin asks the moment his eyes land on you as he steps in the living room, holding a glass full of orange juice, and still wearing your clothes.
Just when he thought he was free of you, you pop back in front of his face again.
"Y/NNNNNN-AAAAHHHH" Eun-bi screams as she comes down the stairs and dashes into the living room.
She spots you there being all curled up on the couch, and rushes towards you.
You feel a sudden and huge weight being pressed on you with such power it actually pains you.
Your eyes shoot open, however you see pitch black because Eunbi's coat is covering everything.
"Get up!" she says and gets off of you, "Get up!!!" she says once again and pulls you off the couch.
"I'm up! I'm up!" you exclaim as you sit up on the couch.
Aaaah, I girl cannot get her sleep. What is this!
"Come on you have to drive me to the airport!" She says and drags you up.
"What? Hold on!" you pull your hand away from her grip, "What is going on? Explain! Please!"
Eunbi takes a deep breath in irritation and starts explaining, "Okay, so you know that I have an adoptive brother that is doing his studies in America. My mom went to visit him two months ago and now both of them are coming back. And since my dad is not free today, I am supposed to pick them up from the airport, in an hour and a half!" she says all of this in one breath, thankfully this time you understand what she is saying, "And I want you to drive me there because I don't have a license yet, and the boys that are not hungover are too busy and they can't drive me there, so you're my only option!" she says looking at you straight in the eyes awaiting for a positive answer.
You look at Eunbi and you can see that she's honest, and really needs your help. Besides the fact that she doesn't have a license yet is true. She's not the best of drivers.
You know that this means losing more sleep, but she's your friend you can't do otherwise.
Besides, you've heard a lot about Mark, her adoptive brother, she's told you lots of amazing stuff about him. It's about time you met him.
You've met her parents, they are both really nice people so you're expecting that Mark is going to be as nice.
(A/N. Yes, guys, Got7's Mark)
But ther is one problem. Neither you nor Eunbi have a car
You sigh, "What about the car?"
"we'll take Taehyung's!" she chimes and raises her hand next to her face holding the Keys to Taehyung's car.
"Okay," you sigh and extend your hand to take the car keys as Eunbi hands them over.
"You're seriously saving me!" she says excitedly and grabs your hand while dragging you to the hallway to put your shoes and coat on.
"Noona!" Jungkook yells as he comes to the hallway to talk to you.
"Hey, Kookie, did you have fun last night?" you ask him as you put your shoes on and look up at his tired face.
He must've lost his sleep taking care of his Hyung's as well.
He nods his head meaning that he enjoyed his time at the party, "Did you have fun?" he asks giving you a goofy smile and your face twists as you recall last night.
Before you get the chance to answer him though, Eun-bi has already dragged you outside of the door.
"Bye, Kookiieee!" you and Eun-bi yell at the same time before you stop in front of Tae's car.
You get in, sitting on the driver's seat and Eun-bi comes in through the passenger's.
You fix the rear view mirror and through it your eyes fall to the back seat, where you and Jimin sat last night when going to the party.
Looking at the backseat you also remember how he practically lied on you and the back seat of that taxi, and how how you played with his soft hair.
Out of the blue you shake your head and bring yourself back to reality. You start the engine and drive out towards the airport.
"So, what happened? When Yoongi came home with Jimin, he kept on saying that you and him are utterly dumb, he also talked about a deal," Eun-bi begins trying to fish information out of you, even though she already knows everything.
She wouldn't have let go of Yoongi if he hadn't told her.
"Eun-bi you already know, what are you trying to ask?" You ask her with a serious voice looking straight to the road, trying to keep yourself alert so that you don't fall asleep on the wheel and end up in a car crash.
"Uugh, Okay, okay, I'll ask the serious questions. Did you really hit on Cody?" she asks and you stop the car on a red light waiting for it to pass.
"No, I did not. The two teens that saw everything twisted the truth and made me the bad guy. I'm sure Chae-Rin has something to do with it,"
Eunbi hums and stares ahead on the road, "What are you gonna do about it?" she asks and the green light turns on so you press the gas.
"it's just gossip going around. It's going to he forgotten by the times the courses begin again. And until them me and Jimin are going to pretend being a couple again in front of Chae-Rin,"
"Why don't you wanna try getting closer to Jimin again?" she asks and this question takes you by surprise.
"Uuuuh, well I don't see the point in it. All the time I'm getting my hopes up and he crashes them. I have better things to do that be a tower that he likes to destroy," you your honest answer and make a turn to the left to get on the central road to go to the airport.
"I don't think your deal is going to work though..." She says and you wonder why she says this.
"Why do you think so?"
"Well, you're saying that you want to cut off from Jimin, correct? Yet, you don't back out and cut off of him completely. Pretending to be his girlfriend will have you have hope again. And you say that you don't want that, so in this case you can either try as hard as you can to break his wall, or give up completely,"
You think of Eunbi's words and can't help but agree. It's not logical to keep doing this. When you first agreed to it, both of you agreed that your acts towards each other would not change yet again they took a whole lot different turn.
What is different now?
Nothing is different, just your terms. Instead of being hostile to each other you won't talk at all.
Eunbi is right, you can either abandon this completely, or fight and break his walls.
You cannot come to terms with neither of these options.
Both seem problematic to you.
Giving up completely, is problematic because you gave him your word you'd help him, and given that you've gotten a taste of how cruel Chae-Rin can be you can not find the gut to leave him alone in the battlefield.
So if you're not going to do that, you'll have to fight to break his walls. The problem is, that you feel like he hates you comoletely, that he hates seeing your face and will never open up to you, no matter how much you try.
So what are you going to do?
"What do you suggest I do Eun-bi?" You ask her as you stop on another red light.
"I say you fight," she says.
"He's made it pretty clear that he hates me Eunbi, I cannot fight something that clearly, fighting it is pointless," you sigh, feeling your head getting heavy as the ray's of the sun land on your face, warming it up.
"It's not pointless, nothing is," she says her philosophical words and the red light turns into green.
"Eeeeeh, fine, if I feel like fighting again, I won't hesitate, but for now, I'm keeping my guns down," you say meaning that you're not going to try anything for now.
You want to test this new deal and how long it is going to last. Before St the boy's house, you knew Jimin was there, yet he didn't talk to you. You didn't talk to him either.
This is a tiny sign that the deal could work.
Well, only time will tell.
For now, you're just going to turn on the radio and listen to upbeat songs to keep yourself energized.
After about half an hour on the road you make it to Seoul Airport. Eun-bi is super excited to finally see her mom and Mark, she keeps looking around the crowd of people searching for the two familiar faces.
"Eun-bi, their plane will land in half an hour. They are not here yet," You tell her, "Come on let's go sit at a cafe," you grab her hand and drag her to a cafeteria.
You go to order two hot chocolates for both of you and Eunbi finds seats for the both you.
After you pay and take the tray, you walk to the table she's at and sit in front of her.
You can see that she's nervous because she keeps bouncing her leg up and down, so take her mind off you start a conversation with her unrelated to her brother and mother,
"So, what are you going to buy Taehyung for his birthday,"
The moment she hears Taehyung and Birthday her eyes light up in happiness, "Well, I didn't buy him a watch because he treasures the one his dad gave him, so instead I bought him a gold chain that matches a lot with his watch," she squirms happily proud of herself, "I also made him a collage with our pictures from the day we first started dating up to today,"
"Aaaww!! That is sooo niiiiceeee!!!" you say as your heart melts from the sweetness coming out of Eunbi, "I swear you and Taehyung are the best couple ever." you take a sip of your chocolate.
"You and Jimin would be a better one...," she mutters and you nearly choke on your drink as you hear this.
"What?!" you ask shocked as you feel your tongue aching.
Shit, I burnt my tongue.
Before Eunbi can say anything or you can continue questioning this girls sanity, it is announced through the speakers that the flight your were waiting for has arrived.
The moment Eunbi hears this, she forgets everything and drags you out of that Cafe shop and runs with you to the waiting area.
"Omo!!!" she squirms, "There!! They're here!!!" she points and starts jumping up and down waving her hands like a maniac until a boy, with light brown hair sees her and smiles.
You still have no idea where they are, "Where are they?" you keep looking around, but non of the faces you see seem familiar.
You look to your left at Eunbi but she is nowhere to be seen.
Panic is written all over your face, "Where did she go?"
You twirl around yourself a couple of times and finally your eyes land on crazy Eunbi jumping on her brother, to hug him, and then hugging her mother.
You jog to them, and awkwardly stand behind Eunbi, as you wait for the hug with her mother to end.
"Oooh! Y/N! You came too!" Eunbi's mom says as she sees you after Eunbi stepped back, "Hello Mrs, Choi," you refer to her using honorifics while smiling and bowing.
"Mark, let me introduce you this is Y/N, my really, really good friend, and roommate," Eun-bi says, and your eyes find themselves on Eunbi's brother who is at least four inches taller than you, and really, really, really handsome.
You start regretting the fact that you came here wearing a hoodie with your sweatpants. It's all hidden by your coat for now, but your hair is definitely a messy ponytail.
"Y/N, this is my brother Mark, he's only two years older that us,"
