Empty (Punch sequel)

Part 13

Those eyes were planning for something, and if his plan was to break her friendship and trust for Jungkook, he may have succeeded.

Minyoung was shattered from inside. If only those dark spots would light up and clear vision would appear. Right now she knew that she couldn't trust anyone anymore.

Junhoe just smiled, before turning back to where Jimin was standing. Minyoung didn't wait any longer as she sprinted out of the café. She didn't wait to know about her brother. She had completely forgot that Junhoe might know what happened to him.

She wasn't going to hear another stupid words from him or her or anyone. Her brother wasn't killed, he just wanted to drag her to this place, to tell her about another stupid story.

~~~

Minyoung found herself in front of Jungkook's practice room. She wasn't ready to face him yet, but somehow she ended there.

Her heart was beating faster against her chest, hesitating whether she should ring the bell or not. What would you do when she met Jungkook? What would she ask him or tell him?

What if Junhoe was right?

She wasn't ready to face this yet, she didn't want to believe any of his words.

She didn't want to believe that Jungkook lied to her and pretended that he didn't know her. Somehow, it started to make sense that Jimin didn't like him too. He warned her to keep away.

Her hand shook as she reached for the bell. Gulping she pressed it and regretted it right away. Maybe she shouldn't have come at all.

She turned to leave, but the door clicked open behind her and she froze in her place.

"Minyoung?" A male voice called, sounded surprised.

Taking a deep breath, Minyoung turned around and came face to face with an old man. Her heart banged in her chest, her eyes widened in surprise as she recognized the man standing in front of her.

"What... what are you doing here?"

In front of her, stood the man who came after her mother after she was discharged from the hospital. The man whom her mother asked to leave her alone and not to appear again. The man who refused to tell her who he was, even though he looked awfully familiar.

She frowned, trying to think of anything. Any explanation, any piece to put it together.

"That's my question." Minyoung asked, her expression was tension. And everything was overlapping with each other in her mind. She felt dizzy with all the thoughts she was having, her head was painfully throbbing. "Why are you here? You know... you know...." Does he also know Jungkook?

"Coach, he doesn't...." Minyoung's eyes flickered over the man's shoulder.

Bambam stopped in his place before a smile grew over his face. He waved excited at Minyoung. "What are doing here, Minyoung? Do you want me to call, Jungkook?"

"Jungkook?" The man's eyes widened in shock and Minyoung could see fear in his eyes. "You know Jungkook... You remember---"

"She is in the same class as us, coach." Bambam approached from behind and stood right behind the man.

"No!" He snapped, angrily. "It can't be."

Minyoung started to chuckle at how fool she was. Bambam also knew the man. Did Bambam know her from before too? Was everyone lying to her? Was everyone trying to hide behind her lost memory and play with her?

"I'm speechless." Minyoung laughed, hysterically.

Bambam chuckled nervously as he looked at his coach, then back at Minyoung who looked like a crazy person.
