It's the last chapter, warning: mentions of death//suicide
***
In a crowd full of people, your eyes only search him. You're unable to concerntrate and just want to talk to Min Jae and clear all your doubts. Alas, you never got the chance.
After remembering those days, you're pulled back to reality at the sound of namjoon's voice. "I am sorry y/n, I should've had told this to you earlier but it's actually me who's responsible for Ga Young's death...."
"How?" Your eyes searching his. He is unable to face you, he runs his hand along his hair.
"The guy that ga young liked..... Was me." It takes him a lot of effort to say this.
"WHAT?" you're unable to process the fact that ga young liked namjoon???? NAMJOON????? Why didn't she ever tell you? Was it because she was aware that you liked him too?
"It just turned out that way.... Look y/n I was never aware about this, I just got to know this recently, it pains my heart how unaware and inconsiderate I was about this. I should've had acknowledged her feelings, but I wasn't aware. I always thought it was because of Min Jae." Something doesn't add up.
"So when did you come to know?" You ask, seemingly innocent.
"Well, today night. After I left your home, I felt that the man was familiar, turns out he was Min Jae, but I wasn't sure, somi just hang out by your place, it was then when I saw him breaking into your house and kidnapping Alyssa, I came to know he's upto something, just then I saw someone run from your bathroom window towards the woods. I followed him and ended up at Min Jae's hideout."
This was surely one hell of an encounter.
He continued,"There, I saw a lot of things.... Things that can't be explained, but let's say I came to know that he loved ga young but ga young loved me. It looks as if he was aware about it but he never stopped loving her, and he had made it very clear that he wanted revenge.
Revenge from all of us."
The last sentance sends chills down your spine. You shiver. You're scared. You're very scared.
"Please don't get me wrong, I wanted to tell you this as soon as I could..."
"IF YOU WANTED TO KNOW THE TRUTH, YOU SHOULD'VE HAD LISTENED TO HIM ON THAT BLOODY ROOFTOP THAT BLOODY NIGHT"
"I- wh- what?" He taken aback by your sudden retort.
"YES, I FUCKING MEAN IT JOON. IT WAS WRONG OF ME TO ASSUME YOU WERE CORRECT JUST BECAUSE I HAD A CRUSH ON YOU. I SHOULD'VE HAD LISTENED TO MIN JAE!" By this time, you're crying and shaking with guilt, regret and anger. You feel everything at once and you're unsure how to handle it.
"Look, I am sorry y/n I never meant to hide anything from you...but what did you just say?"
You suddenly realise what the hell you just said.
"Does it even matter namjoon? How don't you just answer my question? Why didn't you listen to Min Jae that night?"
"Umm.. I guess I was overconfident... I mean I was an asshole. sigh. I thought I knew everything and I could never be wrong, but I've realised how wrong I was" he runs a hand along his hair, he's about to speak more until suddenly-
"Y/N? Y/N?" You hear a faint voice coming from behind you, you immediately know who it is.
"ALYSSA!! OH MY GOD ARE YOU OKAY???"
You can clearly see she's not in a very good condition, she's coughing and her hair are a total mess, you can tell that she's been strangled.
"Are you okay? What happened?" Namjoon asks her in a calm warm tone. "Ye- yes, it's- it's just that I need to drink some water..." Namjoon runs and gets a water bottle from his backpack. Did this guy anticipate this? How's he always so prepared? Leaving your thoughts, you turn to Alyssa. She gives you a smile. Well atleast she tries to reassure you.
"We'll get through this." You tell her.
"Yes. Yes we will."
"I don't think we should wait here for long, let's go, my car is just arround the corner." Namjoon tells.
You bite your lower lip, you're not sure if you trust him. Not anymore.
He looks at you, his eyes searching yours. "Please beleive me, I am not the bad guy, please trust me."
"Okay..." You say still unsure. At the moment, Alyssa health is your primary concern and not your feelings for some childhood crush.
You get into the car and take Alyssa to hospital. Thankfully, there's nothing to worry about. The doctor allows you to meet her for a moment.
"You coming?" You ask namjoon.
"Ah, I have something important to take care of, you go on ahead." You just nod and head inside.
Once you come out, you hear namjoon talking to someone over the phone.
"Ah yes, that's him. Everything under control? Could you possibly find out who was after this?" There's a response from the other side.
"Okay, that'll be all, thank you."
He looks you eyeing and comes to you. "Min Jae has been arrested, he's in custody, my lawyers will be the first to confront him in the morning. How's Alyysa?"
"She's okay...." You bite your lower lip.
"Hey, it's okay, I don't blame you. If I were in your place, I'd find it hard to trust too, but I am really thankful that you still trusted me. Even after everything..."
"Hush! Now it's my time." You look straight into his eyes. He doesn't back down either. There's a pull between both of you & none ready to let go. Your eyes travel down to his lips. You've never been more sure about what you want. Gently, slowly, you reach up to him. He's ready. His breath hot on your lips, your lips finally meet and the world stops around you. It seems he has bottled up his desire too. Finally, after a hot minute, you pull apart. You rest your head on his chest. Thank god there aren't any people around, after the night you've had, you feel safe in his strong arms.
He's gently rubbing the back of your neck and oh boy it feels so fucking good.
"Namjoon?"
"Hmm?"
"How will our story end?"
"It's simple."
"How??"
"It'll never end. Our story, never ends."
His words make you feel like you're the only girl on the whole planet. That's how special he can make you feel.
"Namjoon?"
"Hmm?"
"I want to grow old with you."
"That's too fast actually..."
"Oh, I am so sorry i-"
"We'll have to have children first :)"
"Ohh..."
You both burst out laughing. This is unmistakably the best day of your life.
"You're the best thing that ever happened to me."
"I know."
You roll your eyes and you both let out a hearty laugh.
