34: Giving your Heart's Illegal?

"MIN YOONGI!"
Jisoo's eyes widened. Thoughts bombarding her mind. She felt her knees snipping off. Her head spinning in complete circles. She looked towards the door he was gone.
Jisoo quickly rummaged her palms around for a pen. Her hands finally caught up with an almost unsharpened pencil. The blunt tip affected her neat handwriting but did she care? Inside the file, beside King Of Diamonds, now it was scribbled in italic letters,
"min yoongi"
She pulled her hair, how couldn't she remember him? After all the clues? She should have guessed it right away! When he called her Sooya, Soo, most importantly Princess Peach! No one calls her or called her that, except Min Yoongi.

She looked at the children, her lips pulled into a wide smile. But to her dismay, not one kid was smiling. There was a girl with feline eyes and round cheeks. A boy with dimples and another boy who had a blood chillingly cold aura.
"Hi! My name is..."
"NO ONE TOLD YOU TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF! WE DON'T NEED YPUR NAME! YOU'D BE DEAD IN ONE MINUTE IF YOU KEEP SMILING."
He kicked the dirt. Her eyes filled with tears,
"I thought people would be nice."
Jennie ran towards her and wrapped her arms around the crying figure. She spat at the boy in front of her,
"She's new here and one of us! Let's behave Min Yoongi Oppa."
Her tone was strict and threatening. She smiled sweetly towards the new girl,
"Hi I'm Kim Jennie. That's Kim Namjoon, the one with dimples. He's basically the leader. And that's Min Yoongi. Currently the oldest among us."
"More like MEAN Yoongi."
She whined making Jennie laugh,
"What's your name?"
"Kim Jisoo."
"I'm going to call you ChiChu Unnie. Cool about that?"
She smiled and shook her head up and down. Jennie smiled and hugged her. Yoongi just barfed,
"Stop being so sweet. Kim Su-Bong won't like a Princess Peach amongst her team."
"Stop being so mean! Why can't you be happy and smiley?"
Jisoo yelled at the boy in front of her. He chuckled,
"Really? You expect me to be happy like you Sooya? I can't! Wanna know why? Cause unlike you I wasn't born with a golden spoon in my mouth. I was born on the streets. My mother threw me by a bridge cause she just didn't want me. I was raised by a tramp. I thought of him as a father. But he thought of me as just an object. One day, in the darkest of hours he-he..."
Yoongi's eyes were tearful and his lips were shivering. Namjoon hugged him but he shook away,
"No she deserves to know! He took advantage of me. He touched me in the worst ways. I ran away that day. I kicked him in the balls and ran away. I then started pick pocketing. And one day my feet carried me to Seoul. Kim Su-Bong found me and she tricked me. She kept baits. And now, we are almost dead. We don't know how we're alive. We don't know what's life. All I know is this place a shitty dumpster. And no one is deserved to be happy here. It's not a place to be smiley. It's not a place for a Princess like you. Run away to your parents. Just live as the princess you are. A well off heir. Just go!"
Jisoo stood on her feet. Her eyes fixed on his eyes. Her spine straightened, she sternly said,
"No! You guys are my family now. I'm not leaving my friends here. Neither would I sacrifice my smile. No matter what you do. I'm standing my ground!"

"Jisoo-ssi!"
Taehyung said. His face glowing. Glowing out of delight. He felt alive. He couldn't stop his giggles. Jisoo turned towards him. She felt a tug in her heart. He was... Happy. A happiness she could never be the reason of. She felt her heartbreaking again. Yet, Taehyung was too blind in love to notice. Jisoo somehow said,
"Yes?"
"You know you talked about a small hangout? Strawberry Bingsu? How about today? My treat?"
She sarcastically smirked. Her voice breaking,
"Why today?"
"I just feel happy! A happy day! Maybe the most happiest day! I just wanna dance and jump and smile and... And... I just feel happy!"
"Sorry, but I'm a bit busy. I'm sure you have someone else in mind."
Jisoo's lips started to hurt as she pulled them into a smile. She was broken inside. But love is not about how much you love some one. It's about how both of your love merges into the most beautiful colour. She turned her heels away but stopped. Her voice dry,
"I think your Queen craves spicy food more than sweet. But again she would love to have some mochi."
Taehyung stopped. His sentences came out as stutters,
"Jisoo- I-I'm..."
"Don't. Please. I get it. You love Kiera. Honestly it's nothing wrong. If your heart wants her, you seek after her. No matter what happens, don't leave her ever again. Just keep her close."
Jisoo smiled at him. She scanned his feautures, maybe for the last time. He is just a friend with lots of memories.

"Tzuyu?"
Tzuyu quickly rubbed her tears away. She put up a smile and said,
"Yes Unnie?"
Nayeon could tell, Tzuyu's heart had broken into pieces. Tzuyu looked burdened and broken. Nayeon patted her back,
"Are you crying because of the whole Taehyung and Kiera matter?"
Tzuyu broke down in her Unnie's arm,
"Yes Unnie. I'm just... What does Taehyung Oppa see in Kiera? Am I not pretty enough? I get it that he likes her for her personality. But she's just a chaos. When I do the same things as her, I'm called a monster. When I fight for love, I'm called selfish. It's always me who gets the blame. Kiera is murderer. But still in Taehyung Oppa's eyes, she's an angel. Look at me! All I did was what the officials told me to do. I'm still just a cold blooded bitch to him. She listens to her heart, so do I. But my heart wants her dead! Does that make me heartless? No! I'm just done with these fucking bullshit!"
Heartbreaks. Everyone wished that if only life took a hard break. Maybe the story would have been different. But now, it's illegal to do... Anything!
