Chapter 21

Jieun was sleeping peacefully in her room. Arin made sure of that.

Afterwards, she went into Jimin's room to find him with his bloody shirt off. Wounds from his head to his stomach were fully visible.

Without any words, she went to the bathroom to bring out the first aid kit. She had watched Jieun clean Jimin's wounds behind the door. She always knew Jimin was getting into fights at school and getting hurt from basketball.

"Oppa...what happened?" Arin asked as she tried cleaning his wounds on his face. She knew she wasn't as gentle as Jieun, but there was no one else.

Jimin glared at her.

"You knew didn't you?" he said in a deadly whisper.

Arin froze with a bloody cotton ball in her hands.

"W-What?"

"You knew Jungkook was seeing Jieun."

Arin slowly nodded.

Jimin turned angrily away from her. She tried to help him, but he pushed away her hand.

Jimin...

I'm sorry...

"I'll do it myself. You can leave now," he said, taking the alcohol and tissue. She watched him clean his own wounds without wincing. He was strong...very strong...

She left, knowing that he needed to be left alone. She went back to check on Jieun before leaving the house.

She took out her cell and dialed a few numbers. "Taehyung. Where is he?"

Twenty minutes later, she arrived at a house. She opened the door and heard yelling coming from one of the rooms. She quickly rushed into the room and didn't find anyone.

"Hello!?" she yelled out.

"FUCK JUNGKOOK! GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE! DO YOU WANT TO DIE!"

She heard a few splashes and then ran into the bathroom. Taehyung was there yelling at Jungkook...who had his whole body under water...including his head.

He didn't even bother to take off his clothes.

"OPPA! GET OUT OF THERE! YOU'RE HURT!" she yelled.

But he didn't seem to acknowledge her.

The water was red from the blood from his wounds. She ignored it and put her hand into the water to drag him out, but then flinched back just as she touched the water. It was freezing cold.

"We need to get him out of there!" she yelled at Taehyung.

"Don't you think I haven't been trying?!" he yelled. "I told him to take a shower and ten minutes later, this is how I found him! He's been in there for ten minutes!"

"On the count of three!" she yelled. "ONE, TWO THREE!"

Both of them pulled him out of the freezing water and then dropped him onto the floor. Both Arin and Taehyung were on the floor with him, panting for breath.

"Oppa!" Arin yelled, shaking Jungkook.

He opened his eyes and looked at her. Cold eyes...cold...

At least he was alive.

"Oppa! What are you trying to do?" she said, half yelling, half crying. "Jieun wouldn't want this and you know it!"

Jungkook just closed his eyes again.

Arin waited outside so that Taehyung could help change his clothes. When he was done, he called her back in. Jungkook was sitting upright on his bed, his eyes were still closed. His wounds were starting to bleed again.
