The Man on The Bench

(part 13)

(Jin POV)

As I watch Y/n go into the taxi, my manager scolds me. "You know that you can't be seen with girls or anyone at any point. What were you thinking.?" I look away. "Who is she?"

"Just someone," I reply. He sighs.

"We'll talk about this later at the dorms." I ignore him and look out the window. I see couples playing and giggling, having a great time and worrying about nothing. A tear falls down my cheek and I quickly wipe it away.

My manager notices and quietly asks, "Was she really that important?" I say nothing in return and close my eyes. Once we got to the dorms, my manager led me into a room. We sat from each other and he sighed once again. His sigh just makes me annoyed and pissed off at this point. I can't count how many times he has given me that sigh. "Look Jin, I don't want you or her getting hurt so I need you to tell me what her name is, where she lives and what is your relationship with her." I sighed and looked at him.

"She's just someone I met and she isn't my girlfriend. The reporters already know where she lives. Her name is Y/n and I really hope you don't do anything to her. She hasn't done anything wrong and she just took care of me." He frowned but nodded.

"I can tell you care for her so I will make sure nothing happens to her. Just don't do anything bad ok? Go on Vlive and explain to everyone that she's your cousin or something. Bang Pd will not be happy about this but I'll try my best to calm him down. Don't worry okay Jin?" I nodded and he left me to think. I rubbed my temples.

"What should I do?" I mutter. I really messed up this time. Y/n probably hates me. I felt a tear fall down onto my pants. I laughed. In all 28 years of my life, I've never cried for a girl. Not even my mom. Why was I crying anyway? So what if she hated me? I wiped my tears away. These were useless tears. I tried to stop crying but the tears kept coming down like a waterfall. And then I burst. I couldn't handle it anymore. I just couldn't hide it anymore.

I had feelings for Y/n. And I loved her with all my heart. I cried and cried. I tried to stop because I had a shoot today and I couldn't have puffy eyes. But my tears didn't seem to know. They kept coming. I got up and left the room. I headed towards the dorms. All the staff members looked at me concerned and worried. I ignored them and went up the elevator. Luckily, I was alone so no one would stare or look at my horrible face. Well, it wasn't that bad but I wasn't in the best state for someone to see me. The doors opened and I stepped out. I unlocked the door and was greeted by a very dirty Jungkook. His eyes were wandering over at the kitchen.

"Hyung, I'm sorry that me and Jimin made a mess in the-" He looked at me and his face became worried. "Hyung? Are you okay?"

I looked at him and tried to say yes but my mouth traitored me and said, "No." Jungkook reached out to touch my face but my body backed away. In a cold voice, I said "Don't touch me." I was surprised. It was like some evil spirit took over me. Jungkook flinched and I could see tears forming.

"I was just trying to help," he whispered, hurt.

"No, Jungkook. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Hyung's sorry," I tried to say quickly and reached to hug him. He backed up and shook his head. He turned his back and ran to his room, slamming the door behind him. I felt the tears coming again, What the fuck is wrong with me?

Jimin came out from the bathroom and said, "Jeez, what happened-" He stopped and looked at me. "Hyung?"

"Please don't talk to me," I said, "I hurt Jungkook and I don't wanna hurt you too." He looked confused but nodded. I ran to my room and locked the door. I looked at myself in the mirror and said, "Fuck you." And then I saw my reflection get blurry. "What the?" I said before passing out.

(Y/n POV)

You did it. You posted a video of me apologizing and saying that you had no relationship with him. You know that it won't make much a difference but you still hope that something will change. Maybe not a lot but enough to make you stay in Korea. You have no where else to go. You've never been the one to apologize for something you didn't do wrong. But your life was at stake. You felt like it was worthless to do it but his fans... What they told you is still in your mind. The words haunt you....

(Next day)

You woke up and yawned. You sat up and your hand looked for your phone. You checked the time and it was 2:39. Fuck. The dreaded time. The time that everything went wrong.

(3rd POV)

"Y/n, I'm hungry," Taehyun pouted. Y/n smiled.

"I'll go makes some food okay?" He nodded. Just then, their mom bursts through the door. Oh no, Y/n thought.

Her mother yelled, "I WANT MORE BEER!" Y/n quickly hid Taehyun but as she tried to hide, her mother spotted her. "YOU FUCKING BITCH! Come here!" her mother yells.

Y/n whispers to Taehyun, "I'll come for you later okay?" He nods. He's scared but knows that once mother sees you, you can't escape. Hopefully, mother would be tired so she wouldn't beat Y/n up too bad. Y/n went up to her mother and waited to be hit. Her mother tried to punch her but blacked out. Y/n dragged mother to mother's room and locked the door behind her. Biggest mistake ever. Y/n cooked and fed Taehyun and as she got Taehyun safely tucked into bed, screaming started in her mother's room.

"YOU UNGRATEFUL BITCH! OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!" Taehyun looked at Y/n eyes scared. She kissed his forehead and said, "Go to sleep okay?" She locked the door to his room. As soon as she did, her mother had figured out that the door had been locked from inside. Y/n's mother had eyes that were ready to kill. She stumbled to the kitchen and grabbed a knife. Y/n felt her body get shivers. Her mother has done this several times before but she felt that this time would be different. Her mother walked slowly towards her, with a grin on her face.

She cornered Y/n and said, "Sleep tight Y/n."
