Chapter 45- Karma's A Bitch
"Wooaaahh!" you hear another voice say and you recognize it as Jungkook's, "Noona?"
"Yup," you grown in pain still holding yourself over Jimin's chest.
You try once again to push yourself up, more slow movements this time and you put more of your weight on the leg that seems to be stronger at the moment.
Jungkook, realizing that you need some help, grabs you from your shoulder and one hand as he helps you up.
As soon as you are off of Jimin, he immediately sits up as well dusting the dirt off of him. He doesn't say a word however the glare he is sending you says millions of things. Things that most likely are not nice...
"Are you okay?" The maknae asks, as you look down on your knee and see that your sweatpant is ripped on the point of your knee.
There goes another pair of sweats... Damn, i need to be more careful.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Jungkook, thanks," you say as you put some pressure on the hurt knee to see if you can endure the pain.
Thankfully you don't feel a great amount of pain, however you should wait a bit longer until it passes away so you can't start running again. Nevertheless, it going to leave a bruise for a while.
"Why were you running like a maniac? Are you trying to imitate the flash?"Jungkook asks you and you turn to look at him avoiding to look at Jimin.
Aaah, having the Flash's powers right now would be damn great.
Speed of lightning...
Super fast healing...
Damn, why can't I be a fictional character?
"No, no," you deny as you feel the sweat drops coming down your face, "I'm just in a rush for something and I don't have much time," you see Jungkook nodding and you take a deep breath testing your knee again and preparing yourself to start running again, "I gotta go, see ya later," you say get past Jimin and Jungkook who turn their bodies to look at you running away from them.
Problem is, you don't get to go many steps away from them as the door of a gift shop opens and out comes Cody Parker.
You stop with a hault and sigh loudly shocked and irritated that this day doesn't seem to give you a moment free of problems.
Seriously?
Cody?
The moment his eyes land on you a tiny smirk finds its place on his lips. Nevertheless, no matter how tiny it is you see it and suddenly you feel like a volcano that is ready to explode in exactly six seconds.
Six.
You remember last night's events, where Chae-Rin came and greeted you at the party,
Fake bitch.
Five.
Then you remember how Cody came and talked to you at the bar, and how he convinced you to dance with him.
Four.
You remember when he cornered you on that wall next to the door of that VIP room Jimin and Chae-Rin came out of.
Three.
You remember how selfish he and Chae-Rin were when they got mad at you Jimin for being with their significant other.
Two.
You remember how he fucking punched Jimin on the face, near his face.
One.
"Hey, Y/N," he says as if nothing has happened.
What a mother fucker. He doesn't even feel the tiniest of shame for what happened last night.
You tilt your head to the side just tiny bit and clench your jaw in anger, as you take slow steps towards him.
Jimin also feels the fire within him starting to burn. Just seeing Cody's face turns him mad.
He wants to beat the heck out of that Girlfriend Thief, however, he is too weak at the moment, as he still is hungover, and will probably just embarrass himself if he makes any attempt.
So instead he stands next to Jungkook and with interest watches your movements.
He sees you walking with slow, yet determined pace towards Cody and something in his gut tells him that you are going to straight up kiss Cody on his lips and the fire within him grows even more.
But of course, kissing Cody is the last thing you would ever do.
Instead, you walk up to him and stop right in front of his face.
Since he is taller than you, you are forced to tilt your head up to meet his eyes, however it doesn't affect the way your deathly glare is expressed.
As you look at his face you cannot read what he could possibly be feeling at the moment. You hope to see any sign of shame in his eyes but you get nothing.
So you stop trying to read his emotions through his face and finally act on your own ones.
After this moment everything feels like it's going in slow motion.
First, your good hand turns into a fist.
Then, you turn your body to the right angle, while making the correct hand and arm movement.
And soon, your fist makes contact with Cody's jaw.
His head is sent back as his hands reach up to the spot you hit on, while he takes a few steps back to keep his balance.
To say that your hand doesn't freaking hurt would be a lie, but nonetheless you fucking enjoyed doing that and you're never going to regret it.
Jimin's and Jungkook's eyes go wide as they see what you have done.
All the anger Jimin experienced just mere seconds ago is finally gone and he feels like falling to the ground and roll while laughing his heart out.
"That is for last night's events," you say but it is not enough, you want to say more and you are going to freaking say it because it feels damn good to express your angry feelings, "Don't you fucking dare to come near me again," but this is also not enough, you need to say something that will leave a freaking impact, "Also tell that girlfriend of yours to stay away from Jimin because he's my boyfriend, and that won't be changing any time soon," you and finally feel satisfied with your words.
However this satisfaction only lasts a moment because you comprehend what you just said and who is behind you listening to those words aside from Cody.
Park Freaking Jimin, listened to those words.
To say that he is not shocked would be a huge lie.
He is shocked.
He's good shocked, though.
Right after his mind processed your words he felt a huge wave of happy emotions rush through him and then he felt like a huge weight was being lifted off of his shoulders.
He's feeling this relieved because he was still apprehensive of the deal the two of you made.
The idea that you would bail on the plan and go off continue your life while abandoning him to sink down with the ship in a sea with the infamous monster called Chae-Rin, kept lingering in his mind and giving him a nauseous feeling, aside from the alcohol toxins of course.
But now?
Those words that you just said?
They've sent him to could nine.
He may be more happy than he should be, but the source of that extra happiness is yet ignored to a very irritating point for many.
"Hyung... What exactly happened last night?" Jungkook mutters to his elder as he watches your frozen figure from the back.
You're all tensed up because of the words you said and that Jimin heard them.
They clearly are not to be taken for honest, but yet again you feel too embarrassed to turn back and shove Jimin's negative faith in you to his face.
Why do you feel embarrassed and awkward to turn around and brag that he obviously can trust you?
Maybe that is because you can imagine an arrogant smirk on his face, instead of a thankful one.
Maybe because you don't want to see his face giving off that his ego is getting boasted by this and he's turning even more vain, in the negative manner of course.
It's probably it, because if you see that he's being arrogant and vain over this, you won't be willing to help him anymore. Thing that will cause you to wish to stop with this game and finally find your peace.
And you may not admit it many times to yourself, but you kinda like this game. It's a new a refreshing experience that makes your life more interesting.
So, to erase all chances of seeing his arrogant face you decide to not turn around and just continue going straight ahead.
You start running again, without looking back.
Cody understood his mistake and dashed away before you found another chance to hit his face.
You take a turn to the left and disappear from Jimin's and Jungkook's sight as well as the small group of people who saw you punch Cody.
Jimin feels a dead weight being dragged down on his stomach again,
She didn't turn back,
He thinks and the smile that had crept up his face without him even realizing fades away.
"Hyung...," Jungkook nudges and snaps Jimin out of his thoughts, "Are you okay?"
Jimin shakes his head feeling a mixture of different and opposite feelings taking over him, "Yeah, yeah I'm good,"
"Do you wanna explain to me what happened here because I think I'm missing on a few important events," Jungkook says as he and Jimin turn around and continue their way towards their first destination.
Jimin sighs loudly and puts his hands in his pockets, "Everybody knows what happened, just ask someone who's was at the party last night,"
Jungkook gets the message that Jimin isn't willing to talk at the moment, even though he is concerned and wants to help his Hyung with his problem, he understands that Jimin needs his space and he should not push him any further.
Back to you again, who are running faster than ever, the previous event boosted your adrenaline so much you actually make it to your building five minutes sooner than you should have.
Wishing that this adrenaline boost lasts a bit longer-- least enough so that you can run up those stairs to the floor your apartment is-- you take a deep breath and start running up, taking two steps at a time.
Somewhere at the second floor you realize that you are tired and you take the steps one by one.
Few floors after your pace becomes slower and so goes on slower until you make it to your apartment's door.
Heaving, you lean for support on your door. Your muscles are burning badly.
Yes, you are a person who works out and has a good physical figure but nonetheless you have your limits, just like every human being.
You slide down on that door and and sit on the mat, still taking deep breaths.
After about two minutes, you feel your phone vibrating and then the ringing sound you have placed for when a message has come, is heard.
As slow as a zombie you fish your phone out of your coats pocket and unlock your phone, you see it's a text message from Eunbi and you get all anxious again.
Chatterbox Eunbi:
-Y/N my mom keeps whining about her feet, we're coming over. In around 10 minutes we're going to be there. I'll try to give you 10 more.
No, no, no, no, no.
Why?
Mrs, Choi why didn't you listen to your son and take first class seats.
Why????
And the adrenaline comes back. You shoot yourself up and open up the door with your keys. The moment you step in, you take your shoes and coat off in a rush.
Where do I begin first?
There are so many things to clean!!!
You scream in your head looking around.
Where are they going to go the moment they come in the house?
THE BATHROOM!
You rush to the bathroom knowing for sure this is were Mrs, Choi is going to go first, and reminding your self that Jimin was emptying his stomach in there clearly means that it needs some cleaning.
And, so you begin with the bathroom, then you move on to the living room, sweeping the floors all around the house, opening the curtains to let the sun's light in, taking care of the dust on the coffee table the television and the lower shelves of the small library, as well as some pictures both of you and Eunbi have hung out the wall.
Afterwards you move to the kitchen, which you took care of in the morning but the plates in the sink remain to be there.
Finally, you run like a maniac around the house holding a room deodorant spraying so that the house has a pleasant smell.
You check the clock to see how long it took you to clean all this, and you see it's been forty-five minutes since you began.
Where are they?
You ask yourself as you realize that they are fifteen minutes late than what Eunbi told you.
Finally, feeling relaxed that you are done with this--but not done enough so that you can go and crash yourself to sleep-- you take your phone from the kitchen table and text Eunbi.
Me:
-where are u? Why are you late?
Almost instantly you get a response.
Chatterbox Eunbi:
-we're coming up the stairs.
As you see this you get anxious once again, it would probably be best if they didn't find you here when they arrive as mother and son might misunderstand and think that you didn't want to sit at the cafe with them since, let's be honest, you didn't not give the best of excuses to leave.
So, you dash to the hallway, wear your shoes and open the door after grabbing your keys.
You get out and silently close the door behind you.
First you head to go down the stairs but you remember that they already are coming up the stairs, so you'll just meet them on the way down. You turn around and try to go up the stairs, but as your eyes land on the ones that head up, your legs freeze on the spot, as if they are protesting against using the stairs.
Your last option is the elevator.
It's either this, or getting stuck on the second step of the stairs and getting caught.
Elevator it is.
You press the button and you can hear the sound of the machine coming up.
Yes!
You say triumphantly in your head and the doors of the elevator open as the voice of Mrs, Choi becomes audible.
"Why can't we use the elevator, again? " she asks for what seems the hundredth time as Eunbi growls right away.
"It's broken, you don't want to get stuck in it," she says with a boring voice. Mark chuckles.
"Come in, mom, just a few more steps," Mark chuckles.
You dash into the elevator and press the number equal to the floor below yours. You don't want to be going too far, since you'll have to return using the stairs again.
As the elevator begins to go down, you wait patiently, but you see it goes past the floor you pressed for.
It goes down two more floors and then it stops on its own with a hault and the lights go out.
Well, shit.
