Sweet Miracle

"Here, look, here's your best friend. It's Jimin."

Taehyung just stared at the man grinning widely. Best friend? So at least she had a best friend, huh? But why she didn't even have his contact number saved in her phone? Can he really trust this person? He seemed like a decent person but who knows?

"Oh? Your bracelet... where's your bracelet? You didn't wear it today?"

"What bracelet?" Taehyung almost didn't get what the other was saying until he remembered there was actually an old bracelet on Taeun's wrist when he first woke up in her body. "Ahh... that bracelet? It was uncomfortable so I took it off."

"You... you took it off? You? Really?"

Taehyung just blinked confused at the man getting surprised at that. Like, why would he even react that way? It's just an old bracelet.

"But you never take it off no matter what. You always wear it everyday."

So she never take that off? Why though? Was it her favorite? But he didn't know any of that. He's not used to wearing such accessories on his wrist except for a watch and it was getting really comfortable while taking shower so he just took it off and never wore it back again.

"Well, it was old anyway. I can get a new one later."
He said that without thinking much, because isn't it usual thing to buy a new one if it's old? He thought like that, too, not knowing how it could messed things up, because he's now being grabbed on his wrist tightly by the man, eyes piercing down at him.

"You... you're not Taeun. Am I right?"

Taehyung felt a sudden chill at the question, his knees felt weaker, his heart raced in fear, he couldn't even moved an inch.

"H-how... how did you know?"
He could've just find an excuse and pretend as Taeun, but he knew it won't be possible to fool the man, there's already certainty in those eyes that he knew it wasn't her.

"I was right then. I was trying to make sure but I knew you're not Taeun. Because there's no way she would take off her mother's bracelet from her wrist."

Taehyung shut his eyes closed in defeat, he can never win in this now. He knew he'll definitely get caught one day if he's not careful, but he never expected it to be this soon.

Now what? What will happen to him now that his truth is revealed? Will he be punished by the grim reapers for not being careful with extra years to be in coma?

Lucky day he says. Screw that. Of course it's definitely going to his unluckiest day list.

"Tell me. Who are you? Why are you in her body? Where is she?"

Taehyung hitched when the grip on his wrist tightened till it was starting to hurt, and the scratches on his hand weren't helping him either. "Okay, alright. You're right, I'm not Taeun. I'll tell you everything. Just... just let go... it hurts."

He didn't expect the man to let his hand go that quickly, and definitely never expected him to change his expression from furious into worried when he saw the red marks of his fingers on the wrist from his tight grip.

"Sorry, I-" Jimin closed his eyes, sighing at how he almost lost his temper, and breathed out to calm himself.
"Look, I don't wanna hurt her. Whoever you are, I don't care but this is still her body, and I don't wanna see even a scratch on her skin. So just come with me, I'll treat that wound on her hand first. It must hurt. But you have to tell me everything later. Okay?"

Taehyung just sighed as he followed Jimin inside the car, he had no other choice, he can't even run away.

Except for the little hitches Taehyung let out whenever the cotton swab with antiseptics touched the wounds, there was silence inside the car while Taehyung stared at the man carefully putting ointment over his wounds and bandaging neatly.
