We were the only ones on the lift, and to make matters worse, we were on the seventeenth floor, which meant that we had a long way to go before we reached the ground level.
Jimin's eyes seemed to be glazed over as he continued to stare at me with a...
The bell rang about fifteen minutes later after Veronica left, which leaves me to wonder if she had decided to come back here- I mean, no complains. I would really love it.
But standing there wasn't Veronica to my disappointment. It is scarlett.
"Have you read my messgae?" She burst her way in and made herself at home. "Jimin, you got to help Jungkook" She said, almost pleading.
"Explain youself" I tucked my hands in my pockets.

"He...His camp site... The government wants to reclaim that land to build some stupid buildings there for the future economy, they said" She rolled her eyes, "And, Jungkook, he's heavily affected by this. The camp site is his bread and butter and...." She started sobbing.
"I thought that piece of land has been bought by Jungkook" I said.
"No, that land is still government's. Jungkook wanted to buy it, but he didn't have enough cash for it. He paid deposit and-"
"I get it" I said. Knowing what exactly I have to do. I know Red. She blabbers if she's worried. Especially if it concerns Jungkook. Afterall, Jungkook is her first love Or should I say crush?
Red was never the popular girl during high school. She was constantly bullied by the girls because she had natural beauty. She wasn't the go-all-over-boys kind of girl. She sticks to herself. Ate by herself. She didn't offend anyone but girls...It's scary how they can use the ultimate weapon god has given to them--the mouth-- to talk bad things about her. Red knew about it. She knew what they say about her. But she ignored them, took it all in and stood strong. Until one day she couldn't and burst out crying-- in the cubicle after all the lessons had ended.
Jungkook and I thought the girls toilet were haunted at first, but one day we decided to braved ourselves and check it out. To find out Red was there crying. Jungkook -- being the kind hearted one-- offered her tissue. Then, from there on Red was interested in him.
So many years had passed, and this girl is still in love with him. Even though Jungkook had rejected her countless time. Even up until today, her feelings still never wavers away from him. But I never knew the reason why Jungkook won't even give her the chance.
I look at her who sobs now. She didn't have to-- it doesn't affect her. Jungkook wouldn't know what she did for him. But she still does it. "Red, I know what to do. So ease your mind" I confronted.
"Jimin, thank you" She whispered quitely. "And..." She trailed.
"Are you and Veronica together now?" She asked. "Last night, I saw Vera stormed out of Jungkook's house...and you came to fetch her. I saw you two kissed" She paused, "Jimin, you do know that Vera is Jungkook's girlfriend right? Do you know how angry I was when I saw that scene? Jungkook was inside the house after you guys left trying to figure out what to do with his business. Pacing up and down the room making plenty of calls to god knows who!" She flared, "I couldn't even bring myself to ring his damn doorbell and make him feel better. I couldn't even...be there for him. Even if I wanted to"
