[Chapter 62]

"Kara?" Jimin whispered, noticing the tear stains on her cheeks as she wiped them away from her face.
"I'm okay, I'm okay." She whispered back, but her voice cracked, betraying her attempt at masking what she was feeling.

Jimin pulled her closer to him, placing his head on hers as he ran a hand through her hair; the other one holding onto her hand.

"What's wrong? You're not okay." He whispered back.
She shook her head. "No no, ignore me. It's the movie." Kara tried to lie, but Jimin let out a huff, scooping her up, and out of the lounge room.

He brought her to the bar in their kitchen, seating her down as he made her a cup of tea, before sitting next to her.
She didn't touch the drink in front of her.

"It's not poisoned. Look," Jimin sighed, reaching forward and taking a long drink himself, before placing it back down.

"You're doing things to me.." Kara whispered out, placing her head on the table in front of her.
Jimin raised an eyebrow, as he placed an arm over her back.
She pushed him off.

"Jimin, I can't do this."

"Do what, Kara?"

"I can't be with you, I can't feel like this towards you! Fuck, I'm going against everything I ever promised for some stupid boy and I told myself I wouldn't do this!" She exclaimed, half whispering, half yelling as her voice cracked.

Jimin should've picked up on the fact she was talking about going against them in the end.
But he hung onto her first few words.

"How do you feel about me?" He asked, leaning in close as he grabbed her chin lightly, turning her to face him.

"I.." Kara started, at a loss for words once in her life.

She wished Felix would appear in her mind, scowl at her, tell her off.
But for once she didn't think about him, as she stared into Jimin's deep, brown eyes, and let out a longing sigh.

"I can't stand to be away from you, Jimin. I think I like you."

I awoke in Hyunjin's bed.
It didn't take me long to realise that, saying Hyunjin had his arm wrapped over the top of me, his face buried into my neck.
I tried to roll off the bed, to get away from him out of embarrassment but he pulled me back in closer.

"Y/N don't leave me." He whispered, pulling me back into his chest.
He could definitely hear my heart beating at a hundred miles a minute, but he ignored that.

"What time is it?" I asked.
He groaned before turning his head to glance at his clock.
"Three in the morning." He replied, before he turned around again and kissed my neck.

"Why am I here?" I asked.
"You ask too many questions." He grumbled, as he wrapped his arms back around my waist.

"Well?" I asked again, trying to squirm out of his grip.
"Jungkook was taking advantage of you because you were drunk. So as your partner and friend, I brought you home."

"How did you know where I was?"

I felt him shrug.
"Honestly I went there to get a drink with Lee Know Hyung and Jeongin, but you happened to be there so I helped. It's a small world, after all."

Some part of me wanted to believe him, but I was torn.
Kara was telling me to stay with him, to stay with Stray Kids.
Maybe that's why they came for me.
Did they know something was wrong?

I fell back asleep shortly after, but it only felt like a mere minute before I was awake again.

I decided against going to school, as I wanted to take today to talk to Stray Kids, and tell them I know.
