Scar Like Memories 상처 같은 추억 (EXO Xiumin, BTS Jin, Red Velvet Irene, Wendy)

Twenty One

Irene's POV

I cried even louder. Jin broke up with me after Xiumin mocked me. It was the worst thing I've ever felt.

I chased after Jin and saw Woohyun bullying him with his friends. I punched Woohyun and took Jin's hand.

"Please," I said. "I know I look pathetic, but I haven't even had memories with you. I need memories. I don't care. I wanna be hurt by you again. I wanna shed tears because of you again."

"I'm sorry."

That was the last word I heard before Jin completely disappeared. I even realised that I took lyrics from a song that another FBI branch composed. Ravi and Hyuk's 'Memory'.

"Yahh," said Wendy. "Come on. How is breaking up that bad? Okay, it is. But look at the bright side."

"What?" I said. "I don't see any bright thing here. I can only see darkness, which is deep in my soul."

"First, eat," said Wendy. "Then we can talk. Maybe Jin isn't for you. Maybe.. another guy? Okay, fine. I give up. I don't know what love is."

"If you don't," I said, restless, "you won't be talking to me about what Jackson said this morning, won't you?"

I crossed my arms on the table and laid on it. Sighing was the only thing I could do.

"Then," said Wendy. "What should I do? Saying he likes me is like saying he wants to get together. Help me."

"I don't want to," I said. "I just wanna lay here in class and do nothing. I'm just useless to him."

"Guys!" Taeyeon shouted. "Come on, big news! Jin was hit by a car and he's bleeding so much! FBI, help!"

I ran outside. After hearing about the real story, turned out Eric still had one more accomplice.

"No." I performed CPR. "You can't die yet. You can't leave me! I knew I'd get hurt, but why do I keep needing you? Why?! I put my life in danger from time to time because of you. And the only thing you left me with is scars?!"

Bloody, Jin suddenly grabbed my hand. He muttered some long lines. I cursed a few times because the ambulance took too long.

"I'm sorry," Jin muttered. "I'm letting you go because I don't want you to hurt anymore. I'm ending your torture. I knew you were always tormented by me, by the love I gave you. So, I'm sorry for letting you go when the scar is so deep, deep that I can't afford to heal it.."

And just like in those stupid romance movies where the main character cries for love, I did.

The ambulance came about five minutes after. I couldn't stop crying. Xiumin came to look at me for a few times.

"I-Irene," said Xiumin. "I.. I know I'm not in the place to say anything to you. But if there's something I could do to make you feel better.."

I just cried nonstop like a total dork. Later, I stopped crying. Then, I cry again. It just goes on and on until I stopped crying, forever after a month.

"Irene," said Xiumin. "Are you sure it's okay to be doing this? I'm not so sure. Plus, we'd be breaking a lot of rules here."

"Don't worry," I said. "Who am I? Irene, the trouble maker. How much will it hurt for us to do this?"

We drew inappropriate things on the school's principal's car. Well, I've been wanting to do it for awhile.

"Irene!" Seulgi whisper-shouted. "I've got you covered, so get the hell out of there! No, let's run back home or skip school."

We got caught.
