A day later

Night time

*Knock Knock*

*Knock Knock*

" Coming!!"

I hear someone.. No, actually some people are talking, and when the door opens, I see a smile just fade away by seeing me..

He rolls his eyes, and leaves from my site.. When I look inside, I see Yoongi Oppa, Namjoon Oppa, Hobi having their quality time.. All of them look at me, and a tint of upset, disappointment flashes on their faces.. They all sigh heavily, and start doing whatever they were doing..

" I'll come back later.." I lower my head, and turn back to leave.. but someone grabs my forearm..

" What did we do to you that we're having these formalities??" Hobi asks..

" I-I thought you're busy so.."

" Busy?? For you?? Never.. Come!!" He drags me to the room, and I sit with Namjoon Oppa who smiles at me, but there is no happiness in it.. He just smiles because he has to.. Yoongi Oppa is talking on the phone, when he looks at me and smiles.. Where Jungkook doesn't even look at me..

" Now tell me.. What with these formalities?" Hobi asks, taking a sip from his coffee..

" Ummm I was here to talk with Hobi, and I saw all of you're here so.."

" So we're disturbing you right? No biggies, we're leaving.. Hobi you can have your quality time with her, because only you can bear the bullshit she's gonna spit.." Jungkook says, and about to leave but I rush in front of the door, blocking his way..

" Not until I've done talking, and about bullshits.. Why will only my Oppa bear it??" I raise my head a little, to show him I'm tough..

" Believe me Areum, your acting is on another level, and it's making me cringe.. If you think I'm still the same Kookie who will support you whatever the fuck you did.. You're wrong.. Now move.."

" Kookie please.."

" I SAID MOVE!!!!!" I flinched a little, and lowered my head.. He pushed me real hard, and left the room..

" I never told you to support me even if I made any mistake, Kookie.. That's not what best friends do.. That's not what a lover does.. '' I look back, to see Jungkook's back.. " That's not a brother do, Kookie.." My voice cracks..

I slowly approach him.. " I know you're angry at me, but can you deny that I'm at you too?"

He looks at me with a confused look.." Do I look like I care?"

" Yes you do.. This is the reason you didn't leave, because you saw tears in my eyes.. Now come, we need to talk.." I grab his hand, but he doesn't let me..

" I'm not your puppy like your new lover, and his sister.. I'm leaving.."

" Just take a step forward, and you won't ever see me again Jungkook.. Never ever.. You'll wait till my birthday? Before that I'll leave all of you, and you know very well what I'm capable of.."

" I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU IF YOU THINK ABOUT ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!" He suddenly comes to me, and grabs my chin harshly..

" Then why're you forcing me?" I grit..

" I'm forcing you? I'm forcing you Areum?? What do you think of yourself? You can do anything, and we'll accept it? Never ever.."

I jerk away his hand.." WHO TOLD YOU TO LISTEN TO ME FOR FUCK SAKE???"

" SHUT-"

" 1st of all come inside, you'll wake the whole neighborhood up.." Namjoon Oppa interrupts Jungkook, and drags him inside, and tells me to follow him..

He let us sit far away from us.. Where Hobi sits with me.. I look at Yoongi Oppa, who is glaring at me.. I gulp harshly..

" Now.. Care to tell me what is going on?? Jungkook?"

" Me? Lmao ask her.. She's good with words!" Jungkook mocks

" Jungkook.." One single word, but with the deadly voice from Namjoon makes Jungkook groan and he starts talking..

" Hyung, can you believe that she was staying with someone who tried to hurt her, and we weren't even aware, and she didn't even tell us!! Jimin was always with her, and she was okay with it! How? He was one of the main reasons Areum flew here from Korea.. Why is he here?! "

" Maybe Areum is comfortable around him, which will be a shock for all of us, if it's true.." Hobi says..

" It's not.. It's not Oppa.. I'll never be comfortable around him.. But I can't throw him away just like that, because he has a big impact in my life nowadays."

" Well of course.. He might have shown you how a psycho can be the greatest actor of all the time.. How he can manipulate people who actually are aware of the consequences of what's doing.. Maybe he already taught you how to manipulate people, and you're testing your skills on us huh?" Jungkook spats

" Jungkook, will you please let her EXPLAIN at least? Don't forget what you did last time.." Yoongi Oppa says finally

Hobi holds my hand, and smiles at me to give me support.. I take a deep breath.." I know everything seems so confusing to you, but I was in this too.. You guys just came here, and can't even take a stand on him, where I've to see him nearly everyday at home, or in the institute.. If I tell you suddenly that he has changed, of course you won't believe me.."

I go to Yoongi Oppa, and bend down.." I know all of you're angry at me for taking his side, but it's actually true he's one of the many reasons today I'm here.. Oppa, just tell me one thing.. If I fear just seeing Jimin in front of me, what would happen when I've to face Jonathan?" Oppa shot looks at me, and I nod..

" Even if you hide me in the most secret place in this world, Jonathan will come after me.. Do you think you could bear the scenario where I'm getting weaker in front of him? Do you?"

I get up again, and look at Hobi.." Yes Jimin might not be able to remove all of the fear in me, but his existence is one kind of lesson for me.. You don't know how Seokjin Oppa treated him, just because he tried to harm me.. I've assumed that he might have used Suzy as a pawn to make Jimin obey him.." I look at Jungkook, arms resting on his thigh, head lowers..

I go to him, get on my knees, and hold his hand.." And if you ask me about Suzy.. She didn't do anything wrong, Jungkook.. You're angry at her I understand.. But what if we never met in school? What if you were already being sold to the black market.. What if you don't find any of us with you.. Do you really think you could keep your sanity?" I look at Namjoon Oppa..

" What he did to Heejin, that was not okay.. Oppa Jimin literally didn't leave my legs until I told him I'll think about what he did to her.. Still he can't look into my eyes, because all he sees in my eyes is hatred.. I can't forgive him, Oppa.. I could never..
If you really want to punish him, hurt him, do anything to him go ahead.. But please let him feel what he did.. If you guys behave like this like he's one kind of psycho who'll hurt you.. He'll hurt you again.. As I've already said.. If you treat him as an animal, he'll be an animal again, and will hurt us.."

" That doesn't justify you're supporting him here.. You're behaving like he was a saint for all of his life, and we made him a psycho.. Is that what you want to say?" Namjoon Oppa askes..

" What I want to say to you is that you don't know his side of the story.. Not the one you've found out.. But the one he buried in himself and yet to share to the whole world Oppa.. And if you ask how did I know.. Well his own sister is my best friend, Oppa.."

I hold Jungkook's face to face me.." Nothing will be okay if you put personal life, and professional life together.. You all are doctors yourself please.. Think about everything from a medical perspective.. Just give him a chance.. All he needs is some affection.. Which I'm not saying to give him.. He'll easily find out you're acting with him.. Me and Seokjin Oppa tried a lot to make him come back to his senses once again, please don't ruin it.. Please.." I'm literally begging him, when Jungkook is about to remove my hand but I hold his hands..

" Kookie.. Please I don't know what would make you believe that Suzy didn't do anything in this.. I would do the same, you would do the same if you were at her place.."

" Areum..." He finally looks at me.. "She could just inform me.. I'd have convinced hyung about it.. but she didn't.. Why? Why Areum.." Jungkook says finally..

" You should ask this to Suzy.. I don't have any answer to it.. But please.. Talk with her.. I saw how you've become silent.. How you've talked to me.. Everything about you has changed, and I won't like it Kookie.. Please I want my Kookie back, Jungkook please.." Tears can't stop flowing from my eyes..

" Areum you really thinking I'd be someone you like when you weren't even there for me? Do you think I'm a robot or what? Did you just think about us once in this time, that you came here to talk about them.. Now you'll tell us how we should react with our own patient? When all of us are basically trained for how to control this type of situation? Tell me Areum.. Have you ever thought about what we were feeling when we saw you're taking care of someone we hate.. To take someone's side who basically did a mistake, and you're supporting it..

He haunches over the ground, and holds my face.." Treating Jimin, making him an object, Suzy.. nothing matters to us.. Do you know why we're here at this hour??" I shake my head..

" Because we came to a decision that we'll act the way you want to.. We'll behave with him as if nothing happened.. Because that's what you want, right?.. That'll make you happy.. And all of our happiness is about you Areum.. Nothing else matters to us..
I'm mentally cursing myself because I've to face those faces which ache my heart everytime.. Do you believe how much we're enduring because of you Areum? Did you ever think about how much we think about your well being?
But look at you.. You came here to talk about Jimin, but not about us.. You've actually changed a lot, Areum.. You're talking about your Kookie? Care to explain to me where my Areum went? " His eyes become soft..

He continues.." Who would do anything just to make her hyungs happy.. Whose happy pill was her hyungs.. Her Kookie, who she adores the most.. Her Kookie whom she loves the most? Who would cry for him, curse him, hurt him, still hug him, and never let go?? Where is my Areum?? This is not someone we consider as our Areum.." His beautiful big eyes are now filled with tears, which is literally stabbing my heart..

I burst into tears.. " I didn't forget about anyone about you Kookie please don't say like that.. Please Kookie, it hurts like hell.."

" Jungkook is right in one way, Areum.. You've changed a lot.." Hobi says lowly..

" It's not true Hobi, please believe me I didn't forget about you please.. I-I" I bury my face in my palm and start crying loudly.." I haven't changed, please believe me, please I didn't.."

" Kuzi.." Oppa holds me, and hugs me.." Even if I want to deny it, somewhere Jungkook is right.. You're under so much pressure that you forgot where you belong.." He raises my face..

" You belong to us Kuzi.. This place, these people are temporary.. You belong somewhere else, where we are the one that means to you the most.." Oppa looks at me blankly..

" People change for sure, but you've to balance everything. Your sudden changes really kept us thinking that we might made a big mistake letting you go.. So.. If you really think like you haven't changed.. " He again rose my face..

" Prove us wrong ..."

----------------------------------------------------

Next day

In the institute

" I really don't understand it was a small party on the 1st.. How it becomes a masquerade ball all of a sudden!!."

" Sir wants to do something extraordinary this time.. Also all the other companies don't have any complaints about this idea.. So who cares about our one right??"

" Still I think there must be something going on which we don't know.."

My coworkers are so confused that why the hell is there a masquerade ball near the door, and all.. And here I'm thinking about the faces I had to see last night.. The disappointment that flashed on their eyes.. I really can't stand it.. I don't even know how to prove that no matter what happens they're the one that I consider my life..
It's like I've to choose them, or my life, and without even thinking I'll choose them, but I just can't leave Seokjin Oppa like this..
Yes I'm a simple teacher here, but at home I'm a part of his life which he can't let go.. I know what is going on in this institute.. What 'll be the next step they'll take everything..

Still I portray like I just knew about it..
I knew about this even before anyone had any idea about it.. As Seokjin Oppa told me, our institute got invited, because some of the companies will work with us, others are invited by another big company who are actually hosting this ball.. All the workers from the head department must be there..

" Everyone.. How's everything going?? " Suddenly someone comes inside, and all of them stand up. I get so focused on listening to songs that I don't realize someone speaks too. I look back to see.. 

He comes like he's so excited to meet us.. He gives me a thumbs up, and I smile a little..

I get up from my seat, and bow a little.. " I see you guys are so busy ha? " He looks at me, only to realize that I've still got my headphones on..

I hurriedly remove them, and say sorry to him.. " Don't need to be professional.. I'm here to just talk with you.. Please have a seat.." He says and we all sit down, when Jimin comes with something in his hand..

"I think you already know what is going on.. Our institute is doing so well that work becomes double to triple.. So me and Dad thought, why don't we spend some time together, and ease our shoulders a bit right?"

" Yes Sir.." Ms. Jeong said.. She looks at me, and smirks a little, then again looks at Seokjin.. Where Jimin distributes some invitation cards to all of us.. He gives me one too, and it looks like an official invitation for the gala..

They're really taking this seriously..

" But sir, why this much preparation.. It's just a collaboration.."

" It is.. But as I've said.. The organizer invited all of us, and I want all of you to be there.." Seokjin says directly, looking at me..

" Also the costume will also be provided by our institute, so you don't need to worry about that.. Think it is like a day off, and go back to time.. Rest Mr. Park will describe you elaborately.. About the event and other things.." We all nod as he gets up..

" Well then it's settled then.. I'll see all of you at the event.." He says with a smile but the dominance in his voice is clearly to be heard.. He's not requesting us.. He's giving us orders..

He tells Jimin something, and then leaves.. Jimin elaborately discusses what is the occasion, and what is gonna happen.. After 30 minutes, all of us sigh in relief, and get excited about the ball..

" Ms. Lee.." Jimin suddenly calls me..

" Yes Mr. Park.."

" Sir heard about your declination about that issue.. He wants to meet you.. Come with me please.."

" Sure.." I get up, and leave the room..

" Why does the boss want to meet me? I did nothing wrong I assume.." I ask Jimin while walking towards Seokjin's office..

" You didn't.. Seokjin hyung told me to take you to his room.."

" Since when did you start calling him hyung??" I become confused, because he always calls him Sir..

" Since he saved my life.. Come'on.." He pushed me to his room, and closed the door..

------------------------------

" Oppa.. You asked for me??" I call him, but I don't get any response..

" Oppa??"

" Seokjin, where are you?" I call him again..

" Seok-" Two strong arms wrap around my waist from behind, making me stop talking..

" Opp-"

" Shhhhh.." He stops me, and removes hairs from my neck.. He rests his head in the crook of my neck..

" What are you doing Oppa.. We're at your office.. Did you forget? " And then I hear a lock sound behind me, and he starts giving pepper kisses all over my neck.

" Any more objections??" He spins me around to face him..

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a dream when I see him... A person who wanted nothing from me, but my affection for him.. I wonder what he found in me that he would do anything for me, but never ever would ask something in return.. His eyes might be dominating.. People might find his gaze scary, but the way he always looked at me.. No one else did.. It's like he couldn't get enough of me.. The more he sees me, the more he wants to see me.. Which is he doing right now..

His eyes roam on my face, looking each and every inch of me, like he's memorizing my face.. As he's an artist who can draw my face without even looking at me..

" You okay?" I ask placing a hand on his chin

" You're so beautiful.." He whispers lowly, his eyes sparkle..

" Beauty lies in the one who sees Oppa.." I smile a little

" Mhm.." He shakes his head.." You're something else Areum.. It's like I can never find someone who is better than you, who has this beautiful eyes, beautiful nose, these plumpy cheeks, and those lips that... that everytime force me to touch it.." Removing some strands of hair from my face he says..

" Stop it.." I punch his chest softly, and bury my face in him.. He hugs me tightly from my back.. His heart that is beating faster, calming down a little..

He holds my face with his hands.." Aww.. My baby is blushing hmm? I see a red tomato here.. Where's my baby??" He smirks a little..

" Oppa please stop it.." I pull his hands away from my face, and try to get away, but he pulls me closer.. This time his grip becomes even more tighter..

" I'm not gonna let you go, Areum.. Not in this life.. How did you think you could run away from me hm?"

He tilts his head to see me.. " You're mine, Areum.. Never forget that okay? " I know he doesn't mean like that, but what if he does? Would he really let me go one day if I want to..

" But Oppa I have to go back one day.. How will we keep in touch then?" I ask..

" Who said you're going back??" He raises his voice a little, and his hoarse voice becomes more husky.. His eyes which are showing love to me becoming darker than anything..

" Huh?"

" I-I mean, how could you leave when we've a big event to attend?" He said and chuckled

" If I even leave, I can't set aside my responsibilities for this institute.."

" If I say you're not leaving.. You're not leaving.. Ever.." He looks directly at my eyes, trying to find the truth about it..

" I-I Oppa I-" Suddenly he holds my face and tilts it, and starts kissing my neck..

I gulp harshly, by his sudden behavior.. My breath gets stuck.. He never even touches me somewhere else without asking me, he said he would never..

He starts kissing me with his plump lips which feels like melting down against my skin.. He trails his kiss behind my earlobe, biting it softly.. I just whimper about the sudden foreign feeling..

I hold his broad shoulder to have some support.. I don't want to close my eyes, because maybe he forgets it, but I can't believe that we're in his office room..

But his next move forced me to close my eyes. He kisses my spot, and I gasp loudly, digging my nails on his shoulder, giving him a perfect idea of what he's doing..
He started kissing the exact same spot again and again.. I can hear his soft moan clearly.. He's so desperate to touch me, to feel me, and he just can't hold himself anymore..

But suddenly my mind goes blank, my vision goes blank, it's getting darker every second passes.. Some scenes start forming in front of my vision which I don't want to see for the rest of my life..

" Please let me go.. Please, it's hurting me.. please stop it.. HELPPP Someone help me please let me go please don't do it..."

I try to open my eyes, but I can't..

" Please I beg you don't do this to me, please let me go.. AAAAhhhhh please someone help me please!!!"

I start panting heavily, and Seokjin Oppa doesn't even realize it.. He gets too busy to feel my skin...

" I won't tell anyone please don't aaaaaahhhhhh stop it please noooooo Oooppppaaa save me Oppppaaaa!!!!

He doesn't realize when he starts sucking my skin, biting a little.. He's about to bite harshly, when I whimper, and start breathing heavily.. He parts his lips from my skin, to look at me only to see..

I start panting heavily, while rolling my eyes, my orbs became darker.. All he needs a second to realize I'm having an attack.. For the 1st time in the last 2 years, I again recalled something which I didn't want to..

" Areum.. Areum, look at me.. Areum.. FUCK!!!!" Seokjin let me sit on the sofa, and bring a glass of water, where I start to bite my arm harshly.. I really need to get out of this darkness..

He puts the glass somewhere, and starts massaging my neck, and my wrist veins together.. He takes a pencil, and puts that in my mouth, and I bit it until it broke in my mouth.. He takes those broken pieces, takes the glass, and lets me drink the water.. Then again let me bite another pencil..

Slowly I start to calm down a little, and start to see everything.. And the 1st thing I see in front of me, is a worried face, who is on a barge of a breakdown..

" Oppa.. "

" I'm sorry.. I-I lost it.. I'm sorry Areum please forgive me.. Please forgive me!" He holds my hands, and bends down..

" Not your fault.. I should keep my eyes open all the time... " I breathe out a little..

" I shouldn't have done this to you, Areum.. I'm ashamed of myself.. I-I.." I hold his hand, and bend down to his position.. I look at his eyes which show me how ashamed he is of himself..

I cup his face.. " It's not your fault.. I understand.. and can we stop talking about this? Please?" I really don't want to talk about this right now.. All I want is his warmth, to calm me down.. So I hug him, and he wraps his strong arms around me...

I close my eyes, to feel his heartbeat.. " This is the reason I tell you all the time that don't leave me.. No matter what happens, you need me to cure you, to hold you Areum.." He starts caressing my hair..

" And this is also one of the reasons that you're never gonna leave me.." He says in a dark tone
