THE AVENGED OF LALISA MANOBAN

5 - HURT

Jennie's POV...

I was in the mini room, just the four of us: Taehyung, Rose, Jisoo, and me. No one can enter this room except us unless we let them.

I was thinking of talking to V about us and was planning that I should really just break up with him because I don't want her to see the video of me kissing someone else. Also, I don't want that video to be posted online; I will be on the internet, and Dad will surely be disappointed in me.

So, this will be the best thing to do.

I was about to stand up and find V when my phone received a message, and I opened it and got shocked.

UNKNOWN

Sent a video.

"Do you still remember when V bullied that boy, and you were just there watching the poor boy get punched? Hmm.

You know, if you just stopped V from bullying that boy, then maybe he'd still be alive right now.

Or

If you just didn't let the boy get close to you, maybe he'd still be alive right now.

Guilty, are we?

You should be.

Again, break up with him."

------

I grip my phone tightly.

I'm scared, and I don't know what to do.

I had already forgotten that day, but this unknown person just won't let me.

"It's n-not my fault."

I tried my best to stop him from getting close to me, but he's stubborn.

"He's the one who wanted to get close to me, not me."

"But I admit I kinda like his company."

"He's my friend, but I can't protect him."

"I don't want to be involved in the bullying. My dad will be disappointed in me if he knows I did something wrong."

I inhale and exhale.

"You can do this, Jennie."

"You can handle this problem."

I was about to walk when someone called me.

"Babe," V called me sweetly, and I couldn't help but smile at this boy.

"Babe, why only now? How's France? Is it beautiful there?" he asked me, but I just looked at his face and gave him a small smile.

"I'm sorry, babe."

"Let's talk," I said coldly.

And I could see he was shocked because I had never been cold to him.

"Did something happen, babe? Did I do something wrong?" he asked again, walking to me with worried eyes.

Babe, are you okay?" He asked. I want to cry, but I should not.

"It hurts. I'm sorry. I need to do this."

"Let's end this here," I said to him and coldly looked at him.

He looked shocked.

"W-what?" he asked.

"Let's end it here, V. I don't want to be with you anymore," I said.

Fuck.

"I'm sorry," I looked at him.

He's crying.

"Why?" he asked.

"Did I do something that made you mad?" he asked.

"Please, babe," he cried, but I just looked away.

"B-babe," he whispered.

"I'm t-tired of this r-relationship, V. I'm tired of you," I said.

"A-are you?" he sobbed.

"No, I will never get tired of you, babe."

"Yes," I said with no emotion.

"I'm done with you, and please let's just be friends," I said and was about to walk away when he held my hand.

"B-babe, I'll give you space if that's what you want. Just don't do this, please. I-I l-love y-you, please," he sobbed.

"I'm sorry," I said and walked away.

I immediately ran.

Fuck.

It hurts.

My heart feels like someone just stabbed me multiple times.

"I'm sorry, babe," I whispered.

I don't want this.

But I need to.

Sorry.
