Life Goes On [BTS X ARMY]

Chapter 26

Pulling the curtains open for the hundredth time now, I stared down at the busy streets below me with a monotone face, teeth gritted in annoyance. Another day has come, or more like the same day has repeated, and I was annoyed at no one and nothing but myself.

Stupid. Stupid stupid stupid. Just how very stupid I had been to think this silly plan of mine would. What made me think this was the only way? That causing the least damage was the only way.

Turning away from the window, I paced around the room as my phone began to ring, which I didn't bother to pick up, thinking things through in my head.

Up until now, I had been playing in defence. My only course of action was to save BTS by doing as less damage as possible. And in that process, I had also left many holes opened for water to leak in. For the plan to go wrong. One such hole being Jin San.

Because it's not in my nature to hurt anyone, I made a whole plan where I let things play out based on sheer luck. Praying that things go smoothly, that Jin San doesn't find out, that BTS show up on time, that the plane leaves before Jin San arrives. I had been so occupied with not hurting anyone that I didn't realize my plan was never going to work. Jin San would always find out.

This would never work if I played defence. The only way to get out of this free and alive, would be to play offence.

It was time I needed to steel my heart.

Sucking in a deep breath, I finally picked up my phone and hung up on Sejin, not bothering to get prepared for the day as I merely washed my face, put on some clothes, and headed out. This would end now once and for all.

I spied the figure of Jin San leaving the maintenance area and heading to the men's restroom. What businesses he had at the maintenance, I'd never know. Perhaps to tamper with the plane? Maybe.

With my heart thudding ferociously against my chest, I fisted my hands and briskly walked into the men's restroom with my head bowed, my face covered with the cap on my head. Once inside, I stood on the centre of the room, directly right behind Jin San who was busy washing his hands on the sink after having had made his phone call to BTS. He seemed completely oblivious to my presence, but not for long. Sooner rather than later, he'll notice my presence.

And notice he did. He seemed to knit his eyebrows together as he wondered why there was someone standing there like that right behind him, but I didn't let him think for long. Because right then and there, I lunged at him.

My brain wasn't really functioning. I don't think my brain even gave the command to do what I was doing, because I believe all of what happened there happened based on the adrenaline pumping through my veins. Everything I did, I did out of reflex.

No longer was my intention to just steal his phone and make a phone call and let him be on his merry way until he would catch on. No. Because that plan never worked. The only way to get shit done, was to do it the hard way. The ugly way.

So I did it the ugly way. I banged his head against the ceramic sink before his thrashing finally came to a stop and he fell limp on the floor.

Don't worry, he wasn't dead. I made sure of that.

Huffing and puffing as the adrenaline slowly wore off my body, I felt my legs turn to jello as I slumped on the floor next to him, blood rushing to my ears and making a deafening sound. I breathed through my mouth to calm my nerves as my hands shook violently, lips trembling with incoming tears.

Pull yourself together! You had to do this! You had to, or else BTS dies! At least he's alive and will be back to being normal once all of this is over! If you didn't do this, then BTS would die! Get your shit together Kim Yeh Suh!
