Chapter 25

*A few days later*

I walked up to my room after a long day of school. I opened the door and thought about going to sleep, but then Jimin was there, sitting on my bed.

"Jimin?" I asked, looking at him. "What are you doing here?"

"Jieun..." he said in a scary voice.

I saw papers on my bed...

I walked slowly towards them and noticed that they were the papers from my envelope.

...

"Jimin! Where did you find this?" I asked, picking them all up. I quickly took them all and put them in the trash can. "These are nothing."

"LEE JIEUN!" Jimin yelled, grabbing my hand and taking the papers from it. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?"

Tears kept on rolling down my face. I couldn't stop them.

I didn't answer him.

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?" Jimin yelled, waving the paper in front of me. "DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HIDE THIS? DO YOU?"

I didn't answer.

"YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW ENGLISH WELL ENOUGH? YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW WHAT THIS IS?"

I didn't answer.

"I'll translate it for you," he said angrily. "'Congratulations Lee Jieun for your acceptance to Stanford University. We are glad to have you at our school for premed. We think you would be best at our school because of your skills—"

"STOP IT!" I yelled. "I don't want to hear it!"

"You got full scholarship to Stanford University and yet you said you were going to Seoul University?" he yelled, throwing the papers down. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS? THIS WAS YOUR DREAM!"

I kept on crying. I didn't want anyone to find it...no one...

"IT'S BECAUSE OF HIM, ISN'T IT? IT'S BECAUSE OF JEON JUNGKOOK! IT'S BECAUSE OF HIM THAT YOU'RE HOLDING BACK ON YOUR DREAM!"

"He's my life! I don't want to give him up!" I cried out, looking at Jimin.

"I don't care. You're going to Stanford if I have to ship you there myself. Appa and Inna will agree with me when I tell them," Jimin said, getting up to walk out.

"NO!" I yelled, trying to hold him back. I reached for his hand, but grabbed his foot instead. "JIMIN! DON'T DO THIS! PLEASE...I CAN'T LEAVE...JIMIN...PLEASE...I'M BEGGING YOU...DON'T TELL APPA...DON'T TELL HIM!"

Jimin stopped and turned back to me for a second. "This is for your own good..."

"NO!"

He left already.

I was on the ground crying. Jungkook...no...I can't leave you...no...

"No! I don't want it...no...I can't leave...I can't...I love him too much...I can't leave!" I yelled.

Arin suddenly came into the room.

"UNNIE! What happened?" she asked, trying to pick me up.

"No...stop Jimin...please..." I cried out. "PLEASE! DON'T LET HIM TELL APPA....STOP HIM..."

"Tell me what?"

...

I looked up to see Appa in front of me.

"No...I can't go...don't tell him..." I said, still crying. I was feeling weaker...

Everything was blurry...
