THE HEIRS | JK FF✔️

Chapter 10

                            Jiah

I sat on the edge of bed, clutching a pillow against my head, desperately trying to block out the blaring sound of Jungkook's guitar riff that had been assaulting my senses for the past half hour. I couldn't even tell him stop he was already so triggered because I had stopped him and Taehyung from killing each other. Now that I threw Taehyung out of room with excuse that grandpa asked for him, Jungkook found guitar sitting in the corner. So I'd let him use it but now it backfired me. The relentless strumming echoed through my skull, amplifying my headache.

" look at this book," Ji yeon exclaimed, her voice cutting through the music as she rummaged through my bookshelf.
"I haven't seen this one before. I guess nobody reads books like this anymore."

Jimin, perched on the edge of my bed barely glanced up from his phone.
   " you clueless woman, that's limited edition."

Ji yeon's eyes widened, her irritation palpable." what do you even know? I could definitely just search for it on Google and buy it."

Without warning, Jimin leaped up and snatched the book from her grasp. He shook his head in disbelief, his voice dripping with condescension.

" look at the author's name - Amour. There are only three copies of this book in existence. "

His frustration boiled over as he stormed around the room.

" who even let this woman into the house? Security, get her out of here. She's breaking and entering without an invitation! "

I sat helplessly looking at the chaos, the chaos reached a crescendo, and I could no longer contain my mounting frustration. My voice cracked as I screamed,

" STOP IT ALL OF YOU! WHY EVEN - " the room fell silent as everyone turned to look at me. Tears of frustration welled in my eyes, threatening to spill over.  "WHY DID MY FATHER EVEN THINK YOU ALL ARE MY BEST FRIENDS!"

Yes, because my dear father told them to stay over for dinner even when he wasn't going to join.

Ji yeon moved to sit beside me on the bed. She placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.

" I know, my love, it must be hurting so bad, no? Why don't u take nap? Tomorrow is our trip day so you have to get better soon " she said. I looked at her in confusion if she was being sarcastic or really caring at the point.

It was true that my head hurt so bad cuz while separating Jungkook and Taehyung while they fought I got hurt on my head. But seriously! Considering how loud they all were, she told me to take nap. What the fuck is wrong with this woman?

I buried my face in the pillow, my tears fake but my frustration all too real. The loud, discordant noise of the guitar still echoed in my ears, only amplifying my sense of chaos.

This mess was began with Jimin's curiosity. When I  had a brief chat with him in school, he was eager to see my bookshelf and laid eyes on "cursed lovers" by Amour - one of only three copies in existence. He didn't question how I had it but expressed a strong desire to read it, so I reluctantly agreed to have him over. But things quickly spiraled. Ji yeon had suddenly appeared, insisting on coming with us when she saw us getting into the car. Then, as if the situation wasn't already a whirlwind, the man who had helped me skip the class and let me ride on his bike joined us without invitation.

And seeing him getting into the car...

" Jiah, your grandpa is asking for you." said the man who had joined us last.

I turned too see Taehyung standing in the half open door, hid presence a jarring addition to the already chaotic scene.

I was overwhelmed, unable to comprehend why so many unexpected people had converged in one place. My disappointment and frustration reached a breaking point. I pushed myself off the bed, leaving the others behind as I followed Taehyung. All of them looked at me in awe as how silently I slipped away from there.
