Chapter 22 - Forget Me Not

We need to talk.

Reading the text message I had just received, my heart dropped to my stomach as I feared what was to come from it.

Nothing good ever comes from "we need to talk" and I knew that this wouldn't be any different.

Ever since the scandal exploded over the internet blogesphere, BigHit had been doing what they can with damage control. However, since the video clearly shows Hanna leaving the dorm after giving Jimin a hug, there was little they could do. Even if it was innocent, a non BigHit employee leaving the dorms at 4am was a big deal.

She had no business being there and the media was having a field day.

I had been doing everything to avoid both Hanna and Jimin ever since news broke out of their secret meet up. I thought about asking both of them point blanc, but knew I probably wouldn't believe their answer. But what worried me most was that I was going to hear the worst possible thing I could hear from either of them.

Ignoring the text message from Jimin, I asked a senior manager if I could leave early as I was "feeling unwell". Truth be told, my next couple of tasks coincided with BTS' schedule, and I really didn't want to see Jimin or Namjoon sunbae.

Despite the manager not really believing me, I had never gone home early or showed up late to work, so he figured that this was a one off situation (which it was).

I scurried past the unforgiving hallways, bumping into others amongst the flow of busy employees, as I tried to leave as quick as I could.

"Hey."

The voice sent chills down my back.

"Where are you going?"

I knew that voice.

My body shivered as goosebumps started to dot my skin. My breath was heavy and my heart slowly pounding. I was definitely not ready to face him.

Acting like I didn't hear anyone, I kept walking briskly towards the lobby of the building.

"YA! Don't ignore me-" Jerking me back, I felt him grab my arm, asserting himself.

"Let me go." I pleaded meekly, my voice cracking as I kept my back towards him.

I didn't want to see his face. Not now.

Even though I hadn't seen him for a while now, Jimin had made me feel so much.

"I know about Chimchim and Hanna."

Jungkook's words rung in my head. I didn't want to believe him, but now there was photographic proof.

Anger..

Confusion..

Betrayal..

It cut me deep.

His touch was already too much for me, I didn't dare see his face.

"Leave me alone.." I reiterated, "I don't want to talk to you."

Who are you kidding..?

I yearned for a conversation to clear this all up, but I couldn't bring myself to look him in the eyes.

One look, and I would give everything away. All that I've been suffering since the news broke out. But I didnt want him to see me like that. I didn't want him to see how weak I was, and how much power he had over me.

Tightening his grip, he dragged me into the small printing room on that floor.

"Y/N.."

His voice pierced the awkward silence between us.
