63. Kiss of Death
T/W: Attempt of suicide
Jimin's point of view
I rolled my eyes while writing down my notes from the textbook to my notebook. The entire class was chaos. The substitute teacher was busy on her phone, and by seeing her smile and constantly blushing cheeks; I assumed she was talking with her love interest.
People weren't giving any fucks about the lovesick teacher and we're doing their work. Throwing things around the class, chatting loudly, surfing on their phone and some people are even eating. And few we're sitting quietly, eyeing the wall clock waiting for it to strike and bell to ring so that they can escape this shitty place.
"Jimin," Taehyung called me, drawing my attention. I hummed and looked towards him.
"I didn't get this sum, can you help me?"
"Of, course. Which sum."
"This calculus one." He pointed.
"Dude, why the fuck are solving these book sums?" I asked him, quite perplexed.
"Just wanna practice them, maybe?"
"Just practice textbook sums and examples."
"So you're not gonna explain it? Shall I ask Namjoon?" He rolled his eyes making me roll my eyes too.
"I'm explaining it," I said and started to explain the sum.
"Oh, so I need to apply this sin formula." He nodded his head while understanding. "Thanks, Jimin."
"Anytime Taehy-" My statement cut because of the loud noise of the bell ringing. Without giving any shit to the teacher, students started to pick their bags and walked out of the class. We also stood up and packed my bag. A smile formed on my face when I saw a small blue velvet box in my bag. I took it out and put it in my pocket.
"Why are you smiling out of a sudden? You look so creepy." Taehyung comment while unwrapping a lollipop. I shook my head and started to walk along with him.
"Ah," he spoke while seeing the blue box which was peeping from my pocket. "Woman's affair." He taunted.
"Af if you don't have one."
"Meh."
"Tell me- what's your progress with your Yoora?"
"She's not my Yoora."
"Oh, that girl like you. But she's so hard head. I and Yejin tried so many times to set you up but guess you both are dumb, she's way dumber than you." I rolled my eyes.
"Do you we don't know you and Yejin tried to set up during all your dinner dates, amusement park visit out of sudden and movies night. Yoora heard you both in the chemistry lab, how you both were planning 'cupid's play'." He rolled his eyes making me surprised.
"She knew this? And you knew this too!?"
"Of course, and can you believe that she asked me to shove some sense in your dumb brain and tell you to stop this matchmaking stuff. She told me she doesn't want any shit with me because she doesn't like me and told me not to come under any of your influence." He scoffed. While ruffling his hair.
"Damn she called me dumb?"
"And asked me to move one, asked me to stop being childish. And on the top, after some hours she told me to help her, to stop you both. Can you imagine the audacity?"
"Then what did you do?"
"Of course, I ain't over here. So I said yes, I named it 'anti-cupid play' so basically we were avoiding your plans just to spend time with each other."
"Kim Taehyung, you're genius! I'm so proud of you." I held his shoulder and shook him hard.
"Jimin stop shaking me." I hooked my around on his shoulder and smiled while he ruffled his hair again.
"Then what?" I asked, excited to listen to his love story further.
"It was all good until," my smile dropped when I realized sadness in his tone.
"It was all good until what?"
"It was all good until a few couples date a few homework sessions and a few late-night talks. It was good until I fell for Yoora once again, fell for her more. And the most painful thing is, she didn't." Taehyung's voice quivered, making my heart clench.
"Oh, Taehyung." I stop walking and tried to hug him, but he suddenly looked up from his feet; eyes perplexed. He immediately put his finger on my forehead stopping me.
"What are you doing right now?" He asked while making a questioning face.
"I'm... trying to hug you?"
"In the middle of the hallway, and that also in front of so many people? Jimin this is not our house." He reminded me and started to walk off. I glared at some people who were looking at us and caught up with him.
"What's wrong in hugging my best friend 'in public'?"
"Well, I dunno. It's just it'll be awkward you'll get extra touchy. It's not like I will mind, but people will think you're into men too."
"Bullshit." I rolled my eyes as we walked out of the school.
"There's your girlfriend." He drew my attention from my phone, making me lookup. My eyes settled on one particular person.
Yejin.
There she was standing; along with her noisy high tempered friend and Sungo. Her almond-shaped eyes were lost, not because her annoying friend was chatting nonstop. Because she was busy in her world, the thing she does when she is out of the earth; focusing on other things around her. She then looked at the hot pan when she shook her. She broke in a shy smile and her cheeks tinted pink, embarrassed as she wasn't listening to her at all.
She's beautiful.
"Do I have to carry you there on my back or bridal style?" Taehyung suddenly asked, making me narrow my eyes. I put my finger on his forehead while rolling my eyes.
"Nope, it'll be awkward," I smirked and walked towards my baby.
"Hello, baby!" She jumped due to my sudden extremely cheerful greeting. "Wassup Sungo." I waved him and looked towards Yoora, stared for a couple of seconds, and then rolled my eyes making her mouth part.
"Did- did he just roll his eyes at me!?" She exclaimed.
"Am I supposed to twerk?"
"Please- do it, I'll shower you with wons too" Jinae jumped out of nowhere."
"Geez, she's pre-married man Jinae. Stop thrusting on him and go find your Min stray cat." Taehyung scoffed making her glare at him.
"Don't ship me with that asshole grandpa."
"Lol, in the upcoming ten years I can say you'll be his baby mama," Sungo commented, making us laugh. We exclude Yejin, she didn't laugh at all. She seemed down. Was it because of last night- my eyes widened? Was it because of her dad?
"Yejin," I softly called her after seeing that others are arguing over Jinae and Yoongi hyung.
"Hmm," she hummed and looked at me. Her dull eyes lingered on my face for a few seconds. Eyes trailed from my neck to my lips to my nose to my eyes and then fixed on my hair. Her eyes widen when she realized the change.
"You highlighted your hair white?"
"Oh- that yeah."
"When? I just saw you last night."
"After I left, I was feeling bored so visited hair salon. And that reminds me. Did something happen after I left- you know your dad." Her eyes which were holding excitement again became dull.
"No, surprisingly he didn't bring up any topic related to you."
Weird
"Are you lying?"
"No, why would I?"
"Nah, just feel weird."
"Me too, he wasn't like you know his usual self. Did ask me about my recent test marks, I told him what I scored and you won't believe what happens." He spoke with little excitement.
"What happened?"
"He didn't get angry!" She softly exclaimed and smiled cheerfully making me smile.
"Really?"
"He praised me saying I'm improving and he's happy with that."
"Wow, guess your dad is improving." I joked, making her laugh a little.
"Thank you, Jimin." She looked down and intertwined her hand with mine. My eyes widen when a jolt of electricity passed my hand to my spine due to her touch. I felt my heartbeat escalating, I close my eyes hoping she don't hear them or otherwise she'll think I'm a loser who get these sorts of weird things just by small actions. I immediately calmed myself, even though I was still feeling that sensation.
No matter how much I touch her, she still gives those goosebumps and sensations.
"Why are you thanking me, you were the one who studied hard, who gave the test, and who scored such good marks. So thank yourself, not me." I smiled.
"This also reminds me-" I let go of her hand, momentarily and took out the dark blue velvet box, making her smile vanish.
"Jimin," she folded her hands against her breast. "What did I tell you about gifts?" She asked while I just smile sleepily.
"I could help, when I was returning I saw these on display and found them beautiful. And you know what was coincident, they were available in our favorite color. Blue and red." I lied and open the box excitedly.
There was a beautiful couple bracelet inside the small box. It had a shiny and delicate chain. It has a small butterfly at the left and right body made out of white diamond while wings were made of blue and red diamonds.
"It's beautiful," She gasped. "and very much expensive than this necklace." She pointed at her neck, to the necklace she was wearing.
"It's not. Now give me your hand." I ordered.
"But I didn't give you any gift."
"You did, yesterday don't you remember." I felt guilty for passing a perverted comment on such a fluff moment, but it's not like she'll get it- no wait she ain't innocent like before. Her eyes creased while thinking, but I just smiled.
"Hand." I again asked and she extended her hand, slowly I took out the bracelet and tied it around her hand. "Now my turn." I extends my hand, she smiled and took out the blue butterfly bracelet and tied it on my hand.
"They look beautiful, don't they?"
"They do," I replied while smiling.
"Wah, my single ass is crying while seeing that." Annoying ass uttered, I groaned at looked towards her.
"Well, you won't if you go find anyone."
"My standards are so high thanks to kpop and kdrama. Normal boys aren't my cup of tea."
"Unfortunately Yoora, those whose standards are high will not like you since their standard is high." I passed while raising my hand like a sassy bitch I'm. Yejin hit my shoulder lightly while others laughed at Yoora who just git roasted.
"Damn who hurt your feelings."
"No one."
"Then stop being a sassy bitch."
"Then stop being a dumb bitch."
"You little horny chicken-"
"Okay okay! Times up." Yejin clamped her mouth making her annoying voice muffled.
"Thank you, I love you. My ears were bleeding." I replied making her blush.
"Bleeding? Where I don't see any blood!" She again yelled while trying to lunge at me but Sungo handle her.
"And that's the reason I don't like feisty girls," I commented while pointing at Yoora and looking at Taehyung.
"Why are you looking at me?" Taehyung asked.
"You got yourself a-" My statement got cut as my- not only mine but our phone rang indicating a notification. My eyebrow creased in confusion, I took out my phone to see it was something on the school's group chat.
"Both senior and Junior got notification?" Taehyung asked as we had different groups per division and class.
I rolled my eyes and opened the group chat. It was a quotation along with some pictures. My eyes widen and my heartbeat again tucked up its pace, I felt my legs getting lose and I felt I will fall any moment.
"Popular senior Park Jimin's girlfriend cheating behind his back."
"Jimin-" I heard Taehyung's voice and looked at him, and others. They were looking at me with worry.
"What? You guys think it's real. Pfft- no way!" I scoffed, but I was so feeling so scared. I was praying this to be a sick joke.
"Did you see the images?" He asked, I stopped for a moment and shook my head in denial. I looked at my phone. This pressed at the images, and wait for a couple of seconds to download. And the moment I looked at those images, I felt the ground moving beneath my legs.
My eyes again widen when I saw her, Yejin in somebody else embrace. Not one picture but many. That boy, his face wasn't visible due to the bad lighting of the alley but he was wearing the same uniform. His head great on her crook some were of them kissing and smiling. Some of them were sitting in some local cafe and some were roaming in streets. My eye widened when I recognized the boy, it was that nerd- there was no way I was in a state of recalling his name because my inside was a mess.
My vision blurred and drops of tears fell on my mobile screen. My heart ached badly and my head started to throb along with my pulsating heart. A sudden numbness formed in my legs which traveled towards my upper body making me feel my body heavy.
"Huh?" I looked at Taehyung, who was trying to come closer to me but I slowly back off, raising my hands in the air.
"It's okay-" I looked at their face, I didn't know when the rest of BTS came here. Then abruptly I realized.
"Where is Yejin?" I asked while looking around, not only BTS but most of the students of our school was looking from far. Some were showing sympathy kike my friends and some were laughing.
"She r-ran away." Yoora shuttered while showing the direction. Without waiting for anything I ran in the direction. Unknowing tears streamed from my eyes as I ran. I had many questions.
Is this all true? If yes then why did you do that? Why!?
I looked around searching for her, but no. People were looking at me like I was some sort of crazy as I pass through them. I didn't care though, I just want Yejin.
My steps automatically came to halt when I catch a familiar figure slowly walking at the side of the road. I wiped my tears and ran toward her. I grabbed her arm and turned her around when I reached her. A gasp left from her mouth when she looked at me.
"Is this true?" I asked- tears threatening to fall. She, herself had red teary eyes. A little hope ignited in my heart making me calm. This must be some sort of bullshit to break me and Yejin. Yejin could never cheat on me, she loves me too much.
"Baby, I know this is some sick thing done by some jealous asshole. You must be feeling embarrassed so you run away, I get it." I chuckled but it didn't help to hide my tears which were now falling. "I swear, I'll find them and make sure they'll never use photoshop ever in their life." I laughed while wiping my tears, but that laughter soon died when I looked at her who was standing with a stoic expression. Looking behind me, rather than my face.
"Yejin." I raise my voice a little to draw her attention. She finally looked at me, and I took a deep harsh breath.
"Tell me this isn't true." My voice trembled even though I tried so hard to pretend to be strong.
"And why should lie." Her harsh bothered tome and words hit me like arrows.
"What?"
"Are you dumb? I said what I said. Now don't follow me." She moved her heels and started to walk but I again grabbed her hand.
"Y-Yejin-"
"What!?" She exclaimed making me stumble back.
"You- You cheated on me?"
"Duh, you didn't see those images. And no, these ain't any bullshit and they are not photoshopped." My chest heaved as I took deep breaths to calm myself from not kneeling and crying my heart out.
"Why- why did you-?"
"Isn't it obvious Jimin sunbaenim? Revenge." She crossed her hands.
"What?"
She rolled her eyes making me think if it was the as same girl I was with a few minutes ago.
"What do mean by revenge."
"Are you fucking dumb? Revenge means revenge. You took one revenge, I did too. Now we're equal."
❝You said you love me, then how could you do this to me!?❞
❝I didn't do anything Jimin, I just returned to you what you gave me.❞
❝So this was all revenge, since the beginning?❞
❝Duh. After all, you taught me this, revenge in love is so sexy.❞
Her last statement shattered my heart completely. She never loved me? So the thing after Mr. D revelation was all lie? She did all this so she can take revenge?
"Now all clear, don't follow me or else I'll call the possible." She warned and started to cross the road to go to the bus stand on the opposite side.
"Yejin please."
"Stop grabbing my hand! Now you know everything."
"Please Yejin, you're lying I can say that." I tried to keep my hope alive, Eve after knowing she wasn't lying.
"Do I need to make myself clears many times? After you fucked me like a fucktoy, confess how it was all revenge.
I made a promise to myself to fuck you up same the way you fucked me. Both mentally and emotionally. I became your girlfriend, made you fall for me and then when I was sure you are doomed. I released those images. Happy?"
"What about the time we spend together Yejin? What about yesterday? What-?"
"That's was part of the plan, we're you that dumb to think I was telling truth? Go look yourself in the mirror. I was a fool to fall for you but now I'm not. I'm not the Yejin you knew. That does that day when she knew her love wants nothing but revenge from her. That's it." She yanked my hand.
"Now I would love to see you making the laughing stock for school. How I was stared at after being your 'errand girl, how girls were making fun off, his I was self-criticising myself now it's your turn Jimin. Good luck." She kicked her tongue and started to walk away from the middle of the road, leaving me thinking by myself.
She was playing till now, on playing with my feeling, my heart. She wanted revenge. She didn't mean when she said I love you, or she didn't mean when she kissed me or made love. It was just because she wanted me to fall for her, deeper. She didn't mean anything she did.
She lied, she faked. Every single thing, from being of our love story it was all nothing but lies- wait should say love story? An unknowing whimpered left from my mouth as I broke into sobs, my hands covered my face while u cried my heart out, every single word of her was reading inside my mind like a tape recorder. Not leaving any single case to hunt me.
"Jimin!" Her voice came along with a loud honk of the car. I looked up from my hands, my vision blurry but I saw her running towards me; extending her hands at me, but soon looked towards the direction from the thinking was I'm coming. My eyes widen when I saw a big red car coming at me, so close that it left me blank.
What should I do- step back and bear the pain or close my eyes and embrace the sweet kiss of death?
In end, my coward self decided to choose which was the easiest.
I close my eyes and stood there, waiting for the car to hit me and end my chapter right now and right then.
But then, we don't get want we want right? Like all I wanted was her love and affection but I didn't get that. All I wanted was peace- but that also I didn't get it.
I felt two arms wrapping around me, immediately I opened my eyes to see her, hands wrapped around my torso, side facing toward the car- eyes shut close because she was afraid of death; unlike me.
But here, the question was- why she is doing this?
Before I could think of anything else, the car crashed with us. It hit her body with such great impact that it made our bodies fall on the ground with such intensity that we landed a few feet always from the car. And I swear I heart something cracking. Her pained screams along with mine filled the air- as my head hit with street pretty hard. Hard enough for me to see the blurred vision, that blurred vision soon turned into darkness.
Well, the kiss of death was sweet. But of course, sweet things give a lot of pain.
