Y/N'S POV ::
If anything then the business parties are the worst thing that can happen and more worst if you're forced to attain just because you're a heiress of a prestigious family. I let out a groan while holding the big ass gown I was wearing. As if the the party and its people weren't getting on my nerves my father made sure that i wear the dress he sent.
I haven't attended any business party after my father got married once again and that was a relief until yesterday he came to me and said that I'll have to attain today's yearly ball event. So just like that I was present here with my father, step mother, Liam and Suzanne.
Pretentious family indeed.
I rolled my eyes while grabbing the drink from a waiter and looked around. Half of my college is present here with their parents. Indeed the Yonsei University of Seoul had all of the heirs and heiress present in their college. The biggest University in Korea for a reason i guess. I stood there in a corner with my friends. Of course they are all present here as well. "Your dress looks gorgeous, y/n!" Lily exclaimed as I hummed. "Yours isn't bad either." I muttered as she offered me her generous smile.
"How's your hands?" Michael asked as I stared at the palm of my hands which are covered in black gloves. I made sure to hide the scars. "Fine." I mumbled as he nodded. Lily, Michael, Jake , frank and sujin were present here with me and we were chatting until my gaze dropped on a particular figure. Sam. She is stick to her mother like a leech. I looked closely at her and just noticed how she was picking on her fingers and nibbling on her lips. No matter what she did to me, I couldn't just look at her like this.
Her mother was surely spitting venom in her ears. Ok Hana, Sam's mother was everything but a mother to her and I know that. I could sense the anger in her glare as I shook my head before putting my glass on the nearby table. "Excuse me, I have something to do." I muttered before getting up from the chair as I held onto my dress and turned to face Michael. "Bump into me from behind after exact three minutes and walk away without showing your face." I told him as he tilted his head. "What's going on in your brain?" Lily asked as i shrugged with a smirk on my face and walked towards Sam and her mother. A smile was plastered on my face as I grabbed another drink of wine from the waiter. "Hello Mrs Ok." I muttered while smiling at the lady. "Hey , Sam!" I turned to my friend who stared at me.
"Good evening, y/n! Oh my God! Look at you! looking gorgeous, dear." She exclaimed as my smile widened.
I'mma show you bitch how beautiful i can be.
"Sam here looks more gorgeous." I mumbled as she shook her head while Sam looked down. She is really beautiful because she knows how to cherish that feminine side of hers while I wasn't interested enough in mine. "A physical appearance isn't everything dear. She can be really dumb sometimes." Hana stated while Sam looked away. "Oh well! Children are made up of their parents, aren't they?" I chuckled at my own joke while the lady blinked. "She is really messy sometimes!" Hana waved her hand in the air as I nodded. "Well I can be clumsy too.." I mumbled. "Oh common! You're such a perfect daughter for Mr Kang."
"Well.." I nodded and counted the numbers in my head while Hana kept rambling about my dress. Sam let out a sigh as she turned around to walk but I held her hand. She looked at me with wide eyes but I didn't spare her a glance. Just as decided Michael bumped into me and walked away. I stumbled forward and the wine in my hand spilled on Hana and her precious dress. She let out a squeal as I pressed my lips together to prevent my laugh. "Oh my God!" She exclaimed as I bite my lip. "I'm so sorry! Mrs Ok!" I exclaimed with a fake gasp.
"I'm really sorry sorry!" I exclaimed as I secretly grabbed not so clean tissue and started wiping the wine from her dress but it caused more mess. "What are you doing?" She asked as I shook my head. "Oh no! I think I grabbed the wrong tissue!" I exclaimed while her eyes widened. "I apologize!" I exclaimed while blinking. "No its not your fault!" She exclaimed as I nodded. "You think so?" She hummed while staring at her dress. "You are really generous, Mrs Ok." I muttered. "It was a mistake, y/n." Hana stated. "Right.. humans are made up of their mistakes anyways. I hope you forgive me for this." I said with a smile. "Yeah. Excuse me.. I'll have to wash this." She muttered before leaving.
I let out a snort before turning my feets to leave. "You did that on purpose." Sam stated as I nodded with a hum. "Why?" She asked as I tilted my head. "I don't think i have to tell you that. People who humiliate other deserves to be humiliated too." I muttered as she nodded. "I.. I have to go.." she said as I hummed before turning around to leave.
I see my father calling out to me as I shake my head and walk towards him. He introduces me to his friends and I pretend to smile. "Can you call Suzanne?" My father whispered in my ears. "Why would I?" I asked as he let out a sigh. "Just call her please?" I huffed out a breath. If it means getting away from here then I'm in. "Fine."
I walk around the huge hall while searching for Suzanne. The snitchy bitchy step sister of mine but my eyes land on someone else.
Jimin.
He is here too. Clad in a black blazer. His hairs are styled perfectly with a single strand dangling on his forhead. His expressions are cold as always and he string at something. I blink at that but then my eyes lands on the girl standing few feets away from him.
Suzanne.
I blink before walking towards them. "I'm glad to see you, here." Suzanne said with a smile plastered on her face. I see Jimin glaring at her but there's something else in his eyes before they drop low and he is back at blank. The palm of his hands are clenched in fist as he stares at Suzanne. "Fortunately, I don't feel so good to see you here." He muttered with such a cold and deep voice. Suzanne snorts at that and before she could reply I walk further between them. "Dad is looking for you." I stated to Suzanne and then turned to jimin. "Hi there, Coldie!" I exclaimed as he blinked.
"You know him?" Suzanne asked as I rolled my eyes. "I suppose it's none of your business. Dad is calling for you, you should go and see him." I said as she let out a sigh. "Hope to see you again, Jimin." Suzanne commented before leaving as I crossed my arms around my chest. "What a bitch." I muttered under my breath before turning to face the guy. "I didn't know that I'll see you here." I muttered.
"Who is she to you?" Jimin asked as i clicked my tongue. "Sister." His eyes snapped as I shook my head. "Step sister I'm not so fond of." I quickly added as he let out a sigh. "Did you know her?" I questioned but before he could reply someone walked towards us pulling him in a tight hug. "I thought I'll never see the day where you'll be present here!!!" The guy who hugged Jimin exclaimed with a wide grin on his face.
I've seen his one friend so I assume this one is not that Jungkook guy. I stare at the tall figure who is clad in all black blazer like Jimin just a different touch of turtle neck. He pulls away from Jimin and his eyes lands on me. He blinks while staring at me. "And... who you might be...?" The guy asked as I let out a sigh. "Y/n-"
"Kang y/n. The infamous daughter of Kang Daniel!" The guy exclaimed as I blinked. My father is a business tycoon but I was not in public much. I didn't like attention wherever I went so I kept my profile low. But I did use his names few times. "Oh! Yeah right. But you can call me just y/n." I uttered. "What's your name?" I asked as I eyed him up and down. "Kim Taehyung." He stated as I hummed. "Kim.. I see.." I muttered under my breath. I glanced at Jimin who is awfully silent today. "I'll leave."
I turned around only for Taehyung to stop me. "Let's have a drink." I tilted my head at his words. "What purpose?" I questioned as he shook his head. "Do I need a purpose to offer you a drink?" He asked like a gentleman he looked but I know better. "I don't take drinks from the people I just met." I stated. "How about Jimin? You know him." Jimin snapped his head towards Taehyung who's eyes were on me. "On a contrary, Jimin and I are just project partners."
That's what he says and I believe.
"Then taking a drink from your 'project partner' won't hurt." I rolled my eyes at that. "Taehyung, you look like you do need a drink." I said as he stared at me. "Let's say we can have drink but not now." I glanced at Jimin again. "He looks like he might use your company." Jimin glared at me but I plastered a smile. "So later." I said before turning around and leaving.
I walked towards my friends but Suzanne bumped in. "What?" I asked as she shook her head. "Do you know him?" She asked as I confusingly stared at her. "Park Jimin! Duh!" She rolled her eyes as I hummed before looking around for Jimin. "We are in same class. Why would you ask?" I questioned her as she shrugged her shoulders.
There's something and Suzanne and Jimin.
JIMIN'S POV ::
Suzanne is here and I met her. Never thought a day would come where I'll have to face her again. But what shocked me more is that she is y/n's step sister. "Suzanne is here." Taehyung stated as soon as y/n left. I looked up at him. "I know." I mumbled as I grabbed the drink from a waiter. "You met her?" I nodded at that. I sipped on my drink and couldn't help but picture her. She hasn't changed a bit by her mentality and I can see that already by the way she talks.
"You look all alone." Suzanne had told me when she saw me here a few minutes ago. "Oh! I forgot you actually prefer being alone." She chuckled while I was glaring at her. "And you still prefer a crowd of idiots,I see." She smirked at my statement. "How have you been, Jimin?" She questioned. "Life is so euphoric ever since the day you left." She winced at that and before she could say something more, y/n walked in.
"Suzanne came with Kang's." Taehyung said as I blinked. "She is y/n's step sister." I muttered as the guy nodded. Taehyung looked at y/n more than he could spare a glance to any other girl. Was he interested in her? "Why.. were you offering, y/n a drink?" The question fell off as he shook his head. "She is beautiful. Very beautiful actually." I rolled my eyes at that and tilted my head to see y/n standing with the her group of monkeys. I'm seeing her in a gown for the first time and I couldn't help but notice the way that dress hugged her body as if it was meant for her only.
She indeed is beautiful.
"Beautiful things are always scary. They usually ends up ruining you." I said as Taehyung looked at me. "Life do not revolves around one incident, Jimin. Different things has different endings. You have to test it yourself in order to see the result." Taehyung said as I raised my eyebrow. That was quite a speech coming from Kim Taehyung. I chuckled and focused on my drink. "Where's Jungkook?" I asked as he let out a sigh. "The bastard ditched on a party. His parents are here tho." I nodded. "What about yours?" I asked. "Hyungs were busy so mom and dad brought me." I nodded again. "You came with your dad?" Taehyung questioned.
"More like he forced me." I said as he hummed. The party was going on but it was boring. So boring. And knowing that Suzanne is here in this room where I am present, it soon started to make me feel suffocated. If my father saw her here then he will end up lecturing me again which I would not prefer. But I know she would never bump into my father. Not after having Kang Daniel as her step father.
Taehyung got himself busy after he met some girl. Having so much people around myself, I couldn't breath so I walked away from everyone. Ending up at the patio I let out a sigh looking at the night sky full of stars and a full moon. I was on a rooftop as the cold breeze hit me with some past memories flashing in my head. I let out a sigh while taking off my black blazer and keeping it aside.
"Do not waste your time on people. They won't stay with you, anyway."
My father told me once and I thought he couldn't be more wrong but turned out he was right.
"It was all fun till it lasted. People ruins you, Jimin. And I...refuse to get ruined."
I shut my eyes at that itching voice in my brain. People may leaves after wounding you but ironically they leave the scars which will haunt you.
"Enjoying the night sky, Park?" I knitted my brows while turning around to face the owmer of that voice. She is struggling with her dress because she is used to wearing shorts and jeans. I shook my head as I stared at y/n aka the little Siren. "What are you doing here?" I questioned while she huffed and stood beside me. I took a glance at her hands which are covered in black lace gloves.
"How's your wound?" I instinctively asked as she took off her gloves and clenched her fist. "I'm not used to wearing these but I'm told to hide the scars." She smiled while letting out a sigh before looking at the front. I take a look at her and Taehyung's words returns.
She is beautiful. Very beautiful actually.
I blink as I take her in. The hairs are slowly swaying by the air. The lipstick on her lips is shining. The exposed skin is glowing under the moonlight. The outfit suits her perfectly. If I didn't know her actual personality then I might have thought that y/n is some innocent heiress of a prestigious family who is working hard to get her father's company but truth to be told.
She is a little troublemaker. And you stay away from troublemaker.
(Her outfit preference (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞)
"Do you know Suzanne?" She questioned while staring in front. "Why does it matters to you?" I asked as she turned around to face me. "I'm just curious." She shrugged while I stared deep in her eyes. "Suzanne is that part of my story which you don't read." I muttered as she let out a smile. "Trust me, I'm brave enough to read every chapters of every story." I blinked at her. "Why does it matters to you again?" I asked as she shook her head. "I really hate her,you see. It won't be surprising to know that she has done wrong to you." I nodded at that.
"Ex.." her eyes snapped towards me. "Ex girlfriend. She is my ex girlfriend. The one worst chapter of the book." She blinked but then let out a chuckle. "Suzanne is your ex girlfriend?" I nodded as she shook her head. "How long you both dated? One week? Three days? Or just few hours?" She kept laughing as I looked away with a sigh leaving my gape. "I've known her since I was ten." She stopped laughing as I nodded. "We were friends.."
Flashback | Jimin's Pov ::
I was sitting quietly in my room while sobbing. My parents are not home. They are in court. I didn't like it that they were in court fighting because somewhere I was a reason. The soft footsteps of my father echoed in our empty house and I knew he came back. He reached for my room and stood in front of me. "The woman asked for money, not you." My breath hitched at his words as he let out a sigh and crouched down to my level.
"You'll be living with me, Jimin." He stated as I wiped my tears. So my mother left me. My parents finally got a divorce after fighting for so many years. "S-she left...?" He nodded at me. "Is.. is it.. all because of... me..?" I asked as my father shook his head. "Its not your fault. You did what was right." He stated while stroking my cheek. I know my father can't love me. He is too busy to do that. My mother who is supposed to love me has chosen not to.
"Stop crying, Jimin. This is the reality of your mother so stop wasting your tears and time on someone who doesn't even care about you." He muttered and I felt the words so deep in my heart that it hurt everywhere. My father's phone started ringing as he stood up on his feets. "Go and freshen up. Stop crying." He said before leaving.
I couldn't help but blame myself for everything.
It all started when one year ago i saw her with another man in her bedroom. On the same bed which she shared with my father. It just felt wrong. Mother's were not supposed to lay on a bed with someone who isn't a Father. That man was not my father. This is wrong. She is wrong. "M-mom.." I stumbled on my feets as her movements came to an halt and she got off the bed while covering herself. "J-jimin.. baby.. what are you d-doing here?" She asked as I stared at the man on her bed. "Who is he?" I asked.
"N-no one.." she came to me and took me out of the room. "You are not supposed to tell this to your father." She stated while holding me tight in her grip. "This is... wrong.." she shook her head. "Please stay quiet! Don't tell anything to your father or else he will.. he will take me away from you.." she mumbled as I blinked. I can't live without my mother. "Okay. But you won't do this again, right?" I asked and she nodded.
The secret was deep in me and I felt guilty everytime I looked at my father coming back from office tired. He was working hard handling my grandfather's company. Our family business. While my mother stayed home. She was a housewife. Few months later I saw her with that same man again but I didn't tell her that I know. Instead I walked to my father's study room and cried there. He came home that evening and asked me what was wrong. I couldn't even look at him.
He was strict and cold. How would he feel if I tell him that I have been hiding a secret. Will he hate me too? I told him everything and my parents had the big fight which led them to the divorce. Both of them wanted me but I wanted both of them together. The thing was about my custody and my father won which I later found out that he practically brought me from my mother.
I didn't hate him for this but I didn't like him either because instead of warm love I was showered with cold slaps of life at a young age.
The next day after my parent's divorce, the driver was taking me back to the home but I knew I'll either be alone or be with the maids who won't stop pitying me. "Uncle,can you take me to the park?" I questioned. "You need to go home, Young master." The driver said as I looked away. "I just want to play for a while." He let out a sigh and took me to the park. "Your friends are not here. Would you play alone?" The driver asked as I hummed. Jungkook and Taehyung are my only friends.
I walked inside the park and took a seat on the bench. The kids were playing and I was watching them until a girl approached me. "Who are you?" She questioned as she walked towards me with a sketchbook in her hand. "What are you doing on my seat?" She pointed to the bench i was sitting on. "I don't see your name written on it." She rolled her eyes. "Is that so?" She pulled out a sketchpen and started scribbling something on the bench.
Suzanne.
"Now it has my name written on it." She replied as I rolled my eyes. "You're so childish." I stated while getting off the bed. "I'll just go somewhere else." I muttered but she held my hand, stopping me. "Are you alone?" I nodded with a hum. "You can stay here while I sketch." I blinked at her words but ended up sitting with her. We talk and I found out that sketching is her hobby. She wants to become a designer in future. Her mother is great at business along with her father.
That's how I met Suzanne. We clicked with each other well and started meeting daily. I sometimes came with Jungkook and Taehyung as we all played together. We were in different school but we met every weekend. Eventually three years later, Suzanne came crying to me saying that her parents got divorced and I knew how she felt. She stayed with her mother who loved her. I was staying with my father who owned me.
Years went by with my father teaching me to not feel emotions towards any other human beings because in the end they will leave but there was Suzanne who made me feel things. She was becoming more than just a friend. I couldn't tell her because I had no courage until we both one night ended up sleeping together. Giving in my newly awaken desires at 16. However what surprised me was i never was her first. I didn't mind it. I thought that was it, we will be together and we did. For months.
Until one day I showed up unannounced at her house. I was told that she was alone but to my much surprise, the voices coming out from her room said something else. I was trembling as I pushed the door open and got my second heartbreak. Just like my mother, I was witnessing my own girlfriend on the bed with another guy. My heartbreak subsided into anger as I glared at Suzanne. Seeing upon my presence, she got off the bed while I charged towards the guy and punched him. "How dare you touch her?!" I roared and kept punching him in the face until he bleed.
"Jimin! Stop it!" Suzanne exclaimed but I couldn't hear. I wanted to pull out the guy's eyeballs and play with them. I kept hitting him until Suzanne stood in between. My movements halted in the mid air as I stared at her. "What are you doing?!" She exclaimed. "He manipulated you into this, right?!" I asked as she stayed silent and looked away, gesturing the guy to leave. "He manipulated you, right? You didn't want to do this, right?" I asked while she casually walked around. I had enough of her silence.
"Say something dammit!!" I yelled out while gripping her arm. She glared at me while I glared at her. "No one manipulated me! I wanted this!" I let go off her arm as I stared at her. "How could you..?" I questioned as she scoffed. "Did you really think that I'll be in a serious relationship with you? There's no such thing, Jimin." Suzanne said as I blinked. "You said you loved me." I mumbled. "That i did." She muttered. "Don't be pathetic, Jimin. I just can't be with you for the rest of my life. Not when I have whole life ahead of myself." She said.
"I didn't...force you to be with me.. It's you kept coming to me." I stated. "For some purpose I did. You're really good at sex!" She exclaimed as I stared at her in disgust. "Just that?" She nodded. "Also, I don't wish to see you anymore. My mom is getting married again and I'm afraid that my step father would not like you." I nodded at that. "So... everything that we had was nothing?" I questioned as she hummed with a smiling leaving her lips.
"You see here, I want to explore everything! I'm not the type to be in a relationship and do dating thing. It's just not me. And I know its not you too. You are quite popular but how many friends do you have? Lemme guess no one except Jungkook and Taehyung and I'm sure they are with you for a purpose too. You're the Park Jimin after all." She snorted as I clenched my fist before charging towards her and having her pinned to the wall. "Speak another ill word about my friend and I will make sure you see my worst side." I muttered as she glared at me. "Not everyone can be as cheap as you. Now, I know that tae did not lie when you hit on him." I stated as she scoffed.
"Lost his chance being loyal to you." I scoffed at her words. "As i said,not everyone can be as cheap as you." I muttered while stepping away from her. "I hope I'll never ever see your face again." I said before leaving but her words made me stop. "Your father has always told you not to be attached to people and yet you did." I listened to her while she smirked. "I know it's kind of sad to witness the same thing that you did as a child but this is life. You experience and you move on."
"Thank you for the experience!" I exclaimed. "It was all fun till it lasted. People ruins you , Jimin and I... refuse to get ruined." I blinked at her words. "You're just a selfish bitch, Suzanne. Nothing more, nothing less." I stated before leaving her house.
Present | JIMIN'S POV ::
And that's how, Suzanne became the chapter that I wanted to rip out of my book because that day I didn't only lost my first ever girlfriend but I also lost a friend. The scars given by her were deep because she knew about my weakness and yet she hit on those only. First my mother and then my girlfriend.
"So you were in relationship for few months?" Y/n's voice snapped me out of my trance.
[A/N : He didn't tell her anything except the ex girlfriend thing. The whole past memory was only Jimin remembering]
"Yes." I muttered as she nodded. "Thats unbelieving." I hummed at her words. "Do you still have feelings for her?" Y/n turns to face me as I blink at her question. "No i don't. It's just... I haven't seen her in years.." I mumbled as she nodded. "So her mother married your father?" She hums at my question.
"It was surprising for me too but I didn't care much. I still don't do." Y/n chuckled as I stared at her. My gaze drops to her hands and the lace gloves she has kept aside. There are scars on the palm of her hands but they will fade in a week.
"You don't have to hide your scars. They are the sign that you've been through the worst and yet survived. It makes you look strong." I said as she stared at her hands. "Some scars are good to not be remembered, Coldie. So hiding them is the best thing." She mumbled before putting on her gloves.
"Anyways, I should go in before my father starts making a fuss over disappearance!" She exclaimed before leaving as I stared at her retreating back.
So y/n is Suzanne's step sister.
-to be continued
A/N :: Just to be clear,here are few things you need to know :-
Suzanne and Liam is in the same university as y/n and Jimin but they never met because of the different courses and Liam being a senior. Only y/n and Jimin has same course here.
