Chapter 18: Truth II

"If you've already heard everything I said to her, there isn't much explaining I should do. I was merely acting, this is all part of my plan," he smirked and your mind immediately wandered off to Jimin and the plan he was talking about.

The plan he was trying to keep you safe from.

Oh how you wished you believed him then and there.

"What is your plan?" You ask, eyeing him cautiously.

"To break a certain girl from the inside using someone, then I come in to save the day and heal her, only to completely destroy her. You see, I enjoy torturing people like this. I think it's fun," he lets out a low chuckle.

"That's crazy," you whisper, loud enough for him to hear.

Scoffing, he continues, "What isn't crazy? The girl I chose to break was you. After I saw Jimin hanging with you on the first day, I thought, why not I start with her? Since, you know, Jimin had seemed to be growing close to you already. Jimin played his part, but with a lot of difficulty."

Something dark flitted across his eyes as he stopped walking, causing you to do the same, but you were still cautious.

"You see, he actually started liking you. And that was completely against the rules, so I had to step in to save the day. If only you had agreed to be my girlfriend. And the girl's so-called lover wouldn't have been tortured so much. Though I have to say, I quite enjoyed it."

He chuckles dryly, flicking his tongue across his lips, "You were never supposed to find out. But that, son of a b*tch Jimin, spoiled everything by trying to tell you the truth. He better be ready for what's gonna come to him now."

As you started to slowly escape, you lose your footing, causing you to fall on your butt on to the hard concrete ground.

Groaning in pain, you look back up at Taehyung who had slowly started approaching you.

Kneeling down in front of you, he takes your chin into his palm, gripping it harshly.

He sighs, shaking his head, "You as well. You know too much now, and I can't have you and Jimin running around, exposing me to the whole school. Wouldn't want to spoiling the fun."

A figure emerged from the darkness behind Taehyung, and before you could say anything, it rammed it's fist against the side of Taehyung face, causing him to let go of your face.

He groaned, holding his palm to his face and then looking at it as you stand up and walk a good distance away.

He looked up at the figure who was now towering over him in a threatening manner, getting ready to give another blow if necessary.

Taehyung scrambled to his feet, running away as he screamed, "This is not over! You will regret this! I will be back for you!"

You sigh in relief, eyeing the figure who was dressed in all black.

They turned around and started walking towards you in which case you responded with walking backwards.

Man, I'm doing a lot of walking backwards today.

Just as you had turned around to dash away, the figure gripped your wrist and pulled you towards them, their arm slipping around your waist, holding you in place.

Opening your mouth to let out a scream, you stop as the figure had slipped off their mask, revealing that it was Jimin and not some random stranger.

"Stop scaring me like that," you start smacking his chest as your heart was leaping out of your chest.

Once you had calmed down, Jimin proceeded to ask you, "Are you okay?"

You sigh, nodding in response, "Yeah, I'm good. Just a bit shaken."

You avoid eye contact as you speak in a softer voice, "Also, I'm sorry for not believing you earlier. It was foolish of me."

"Well, you are a foolish person," he smiles cheekily and you let out a gasp, giving him another smack.

"So," Jimin trails off, "Come with me. I wanna tell you something."

He laced his fingers with yours, the action causing butterflies to erupt in your stomach as he leads to the playground.
