Sometimes it is better to be alone. Nobody can hurt you

JACKSON

The house looks pretty worn out from the outside. I didn't expect him to live in a place like this. I mean he always was picky about the places even before all the money he had. I walked inside the house when two of his men gave me the sign to go in. It wasn't as bad as it looks from outside. Who would guess a wanted gangster is living in a simple house. I walked behind his men occasionally greeting familiar faces in the house.

"You can go in" I thanked the bodyguard before going inside. "What do you want?" I chuckled expecting him to burst like this. He hasn't changed much. Except for the fact his eyes are colder than before and his face was painted with fury he had for them. "Not even proper hello?" he glared at me. I ignored his glare and sat on the chair in front of him. "I don't waste time on idiots like you"

"Fine by me" I ignored his insult and decided to spill the details. Beating around the bush won't work now. "I know where Y/n is?" with that sentence I got his complete attention. I leaned back in the chair playing with it. "I can help you get her" he crossed his arms looking at me skeptically. "What do you want in return?" now we are talking.

"I lost all of my deals because of you guys. I need money to survive. When I get the money I will help you get her" I personally don't hate her or him but I need money. I am broke now. If I don't get money I can't keep up with the people working for me. This is the only way I can save myself. "Fine. I will give you"

He called one of his man in explaining the task. I sat watching him. It went easier than I thought. "You will get money once you tell me where she is" one of his guys brought two brief cases in placing them on the table. He signalled them to leave. "Here is her address" I gave him the paper with her address and I gave him few of her pictures too just in case he has doubt.

"If you need help with her just tell me" he didn't answer me. He kept looking at the picture in front of him with full hate. I sighed taking his silence as my cue to leave. I was foolish to try to hit on her that night. I was drunk and wasn't thinking and I never wanted to go that far. I felt bad for them. They used to be so close only if he knows the truth he might have changed. But I can't do that now. I can't get in anymore trouble with these guys. It is none of my business anyway.

Y/N

"Can't I visit my girlfriend?" he said before pulling me close placing a hand on my shoulder. Everyone looked at me shocked "Quit playing Mark" I pushed him away but he ruffled my hair earning a glare from me. "Is it ok if he joins us?" I asked them because I don't want them to feel uncomfortable with Mark. "Of course, I have a lot to talk with you anyway" Jia jumped up and down in excitement grabbing Mark arm.

She started walking without waiting for us. "Wait for me" Hoseok frowned when Jia didn't listen to him. Hana and I chuckled at his behaviour. "Let's go before they leave us" I referred to others who were already following Jia. "Have you talked to Taehyung?" Hana asked me when everyone was in the front. They were little far so they can't hear our conversation. "I haven't"

"Are you planning to tell him?" to be honest I am not. I think it would be better to leave with out explanation rather than getting him in the trouble. He won't be worried since he is the one to break up with me. I don't even know if we were dating at all. I mean he never asked me to be his girlfriend so I can't call this break up either. "I think he actually do like you" I looked at him. He was walking silently with Hoseok and Jungkook. Hoseok was complaining about Jia behaviour but he doesn't seem to listen to him.

"It doesn't change anything" she sighed irritated but didn't say anything. "Did you fight with Jimin?" I asked her trying to change the subject. From the morning she hasn't been with Jimin. Even in lunch she was sitting next to me and Jungkook. "I just got mad for making stupid bet" she mumbled last part but I heard her. "You accepted him knowing he is a jerk" I pointed out the fact.

"But he-" I talked before she can finish. I know what she is gonna say "it doesn't matter what they did. I was fool to fall for his lies besides I am leaving anyway" her head snapped towards me at my last sentence. Even though she knew I have to leave. She wanted me to convince my brother and stay. But I think leaving is the best option for me now.

"When?" I glanced at her side way before looking ahead "Tomorrow. Mark thinks its best to leave soon" she grabbed my wrist stopping me "and you didn't tell me?"

"I was about to tell you now" I looked away when I felt her gaze on me. "Have you told him about Jackson?" I shook my head. "I am leaving anyway. They will find out everything on their own. I don't have energy to explain to people" I said earning a nod from her. I am just tired of everything at this point. She understood I am not referring to Mark only.

"Are you guys coming?" I grabbed Hana hand walking to Hoseok when he called for us. Taehyung and Jungkook also stopped but he didn't bother to look at me. "Let's just enjoy the time we have with them" she squeezed my hand smiling. "Let's go" Jungkook placed a hand on my shoulder before walking again.

"I will just have coke" Jia frowned at my choice of drink. "You didn't have lunch either" Jungkook said making Mark glare at me. "I am not hungry now" Mark called waiter back. "Bring chicken pizza too" she wrote it down on the notepad and left to get our food. "I told you I am not hungry"

"You used to eat whole pizza like pig" he said earning chuckle from Hana and Jia. "we always had chicken pizza whenever we had movie night" Hana said referring to our hangouts back at home. "You guys seems so close" Jimin said glaring at Mark and Hana little. Hana shifted uncomfortably in her seat being nervous. "We are" I smiled "they always have our backs no matter what happen"

It was obvious Taehyung and Jimin understood what I am referring to. "Where are others?" Mark stiffened at the mention of them. Jia doesn't know about their fights. "They will come in few days" I answered her instead of Mark. "Are you staying?" I looked at Mark. "It depends on work" he said looking back at me. By work he means he is supposed to take me home and come back here to search for him.

"Food is here" Mark changed the topic understanding the tension in the air. He placed a slice of pizza on the plate before pushing it to me. I frowned at him but he just glared at me. "Your boyfriend seems to care a lot about you" I snapped my head towards Taehyung and if looks could kill he would have been buried under six feet down the ground by now. "Of course, I do" Mark winked at me. I guess he knows I was talking about Taehyung yesterday.

"Mark is my friend. Unlike some fake people he does care about me" I sounded rude. I was angry and trying to make point but I came out rude. "Well-" I looked around and realized everyone was looking at me and Taehyung curiously. "Pizza looks good" Jimin stuffed a pizza slice in Hoseok mouth stopping him from saying anything.

I stayed silent for the rest of the time making comments only when it is required. Taehyung also didn't seem to be happy either. I just listened to all their silly conversations trying my best to remember every detail. This moment was bittersweet. I may not meet these people again even if everything goes safe. "Have you told Hana we are leaving tomorrow?" Mark whispered when everyone was busy. I smiled giving him a nod.

"Hana how about we go on triple date?" Jia asked her suggesting the idea. "triple date?" Hana asked her and Jia pointed to her and Minjun as in saying three of them with their boyfriends should go out. She glanced at Jimin and when she met his glaze she looked away. "That sounds cool. You should go" I said making it clear that I am not at Jimin anymore. Even though it was wrong to place bet like that I am not feeling angry at him.

"I think we should go" Mark signalled his phone to me. I looked at message from Rachel. I nodded before looking at everyone. "I guess its good bye then" Jia chuckled. "We will meet tomorrow anyway" only if she knew. Mark called waiter before paying. He wanted to pay as he was the eldest. After few protests everyone agreed. we all walked out of café and decided to go our separate ways.

"You are being weird today" Jia commented when I gave her and Minjun hug. "I know" I smiled before giving a hug to Jin and Hoseok too. "They are my friends too" I said when Jia looked at me weirdly. "Whatever" I waved to them as they left. They were going on double date today.

"I have game in skate park. Wanna join me?" Jungkook asked me and I politely declined. "I wish I can but I have to go home" he pouted "ok then" I pinched his cheek and he slapped my hand away glaring at Mark. "Kookie, remember you are my best friend in the group" he grinned looking at Mark like he is showing off which made me laugh. "Bye hyung, bye" he waved before leaving too. That left Jimin, Taehyung and Hana with me.

"I will just get ice cream" I face palmed at Mark lame excuse. "I am sorry Y/n. I wasn't thoughtful when I made bet. We just did-" I put my hand up signalling him to stop explaining. "I am not mad at you anymore. I would like it if you guys be happy again" I told him looking at Hana and him. "Take care of your sister properly. Don't let them down"

"I won't" he smiled grabbing Hana hand. "Don't let his words to get to you. Just go and talk to him" Jimin whispered pointing to Taehyung pushing me a little towards him. Taehyung didn't see them leave as he was looking at kids in front of the store. "They are cute, aren't they?" he looked surprised hearing me. He looked around hoping to see others.

"I just wanted to say sorry for hiding everything from you. I shouldn't have done that" he kept his blank expression not letting me see what he is feeling. "I guess that's it for now. I will leave. I really wish you to be happy always" I smiled one last time looking at his face. I turned around and walked away.

With every step I took my heart broke more. It felt like I will die if I leave him now but I couldn't turn around. I wanted him to stop me and say he likes me too. I wanted him to hold me in his arms and never let me go. But like all the things I want in my life it never happened. I wiped few tears before plastering a stupid smile on my face when I saw Mark. 

I guess this was the goodbye for everything and everyone.
