A White Lie| PJM✔️

18. A white lie

JIMIN'S POV

Eunji was engaged with her friends while everyone else helped Hoseok in unwrapping the gift boxes. While I excused myself to find internal peace. It was somehow suffocating me to be around those people who heard me, made me recall that night. So, I came out in search of an empty space to relax my mind but I heard my name getting mentioned.

"Stop hiding the truth from Jimin. He is living in a lie, a white lie and only you can correct him."

It was Seyeon's voice. But why was she mentioning me? I carefully walked and hid behind the wall to get a closer access to their conversation.

Seyeon sounded pissed at Y/N for God knows what and of course they were in middle of an heated argument but what was the purpose to mention me? I had the right to know about myself, although eavesdropping was considered bad.

"I am not hiding anything from him. It's just that I haven't clarified myself and why would I? I don't want to associate myself with anyone, definitely not with him. He's popular and it doesn't take time for rumours to erupt. It will involve paparazzi and I am not ready to have any scandal."

" It's called dating, okay? It has nothing to do with your reputation. Stop being a puppet of your appa!" Seyeon exclaimed at Y/N,which for sure made it worse. There was increasing tension between them then I heard Y/N yell.

"Take that back, Seyeon! I take no order from someone like you. Talking about reputation and family status? How low you could drop? Remember your dad works under my appa."

This was a news to me as everyone knew Seyeon's father was well off in Yoon enterprises. But if he worked under her father then what the actual worth of Y/N? It was all confusing me. Something was off. Really off.

After a silent minute Y/N calmed down and said,"Just because I respect their feelings doesn't make me a coward. My parents doesn't want media to dig into my life and flash about my past relationships. I want to have a clean background so it won't bother future-me over my ex."

Seyeon was already sorry and as tears glistened her eyes. " I didn't meant that..I-I am sorry, Y/N. It was just out of anger. I am such a bad person but you know I want your best. I just can't see that slut trying to take your place." Y/N noticed that she was at fault too. They both clarified the bitter truth and insulted their parents so it was a very bad deed and sinful. They both were at fault.

"It's okay but I won't let you off guard the next time." This time her voice calmed down when she said," Are you sure? Don't you wanna tell him? It might be the last chance to reveal the truth before you fly off to Moscow."

"It's of no use. He is already engaged and I don't have any intention to break their relationship. They look happy together."

Was she stupid? When did I looked happy with her, I was happy on my own not because of someone else. But what was the secret they were hiding from me? I was getting curious second bt second.

"Have you gone crazy? I could tell he is not sincere with her. I could see the adoration he has for you. The moment he would know that it was you, he would look out for you. Truth can never be hidden with the curtains of lie."

I don't know whether I would look out for Y/N or not because I didn't noticed her particularly. I have always been busi in book and hang out with bangtan so I didn't noticed her timid figure in the class.

"I don't think he likes me, no one did. All these years no one stood up for me other than you. And if he would take my side just because I was that mystery girl who helped him then I would never tell the truth." My eyes went wide and jaw dropped. For a split second my heart beat got slow because of the newfound news. I felt a foreign feeling totally astonished. Never have I ever mistook a person for someone else but I also agreed to date her on that basis.
