One Step To Paradise

Chapter 18:

Not Everything is True

Jungkook's POV

As Irene sat beside me with a frown on her face, my heart ached.

I stopped myself from wanting to talk to Irene, wanting to get close to Irene, and mostly wanting to feel the warmth of her.

I texted Suzy.

To:Suzy
I swear Suzy. If you'll do something to Irene, I don't know what I'm going to do with you.

Sent 7:35 a.m.

When I sent it, she immediately replied.

From:Suzy
Oppa~ It's simple. If you don't want her to be hurt. Then stop hanging out with her. It's not like you have feelings for her RIGHT?

Sent 7:35 a.m.

I sigh.

' it's not like you have feelings for her, RIGHT?'

But I do. And I want her to be safe. I want to protect her from Suzy.

To:Suzy
We're just friends. She's just one of my precious friends. So don't you lay one of your fingers to my friends.

Sent 7:36 a.m.

When I sent the message, I noticed Irene glance at me.

I look at her and diverted my attention afterwards to the teacher who just came in.

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
As time went by, Suzy kept texting me on going to a date or what. And everytime I turn her down, she will always mention my friends. So I have no choice but to agree. I am tired of this.
One day, I don't know when.... but Maybe I'll snap and I don't know what I'll do to Suzy...

When It's time to go home, Suzy texted me to escort her from the airport since she's coming.

I sighed.

When I noticed the time she sent to me was 3 hours ago, I quickly sprinted my way to the airport.

My knee was hit by the wayㅠ.ㅠ

And as I grabbed a taxi and went towards the airport, I was fiddling with my fingers.

When I arrived, I immediately ran out and went inside.

I saw Suzy sitting at the waiting area.

I sigh in relief and stopped for a while to catch my breath.

Then I slowly went my way towards her.

She was looking down.

I tapped her shoulder and she looks up.

Her smile grew.

She was pretty but obsessed.
So I didn't like her one bit.

She stood up and I helped her carry the baggage she had.

"Are you alone?"
I ask as I noticed she was just alone sitting at the waiting area.

"Y-yes."
she spoke softly.

Is this the Suzy I knew and texted with?

How come she's calm and looks...
Pretty normal??

"Oh okay. Have you been waiting for 3 hours straight?"
I said as we slowly walked outside the airport.

She lowered her head.
"N-No."
She said.

I sigh.
"You can't lie. I've received your message 3 hours ago. And don't tell me you wanted me to wait for you here for 3 hours before you arrived?"
I said as I looked at her.

"Oh."
She said. I smiled a bit and hailed a taxi.

At least for now, she's normal.

I placed all her baggage at the back of the taxi.

She went inside and I went inside beside her.

She was shy as she kept looking at her hands, fiddling it.

Shd told the driver of her address.

I decided to open some conversation.

"So, Suzy... how was your stay in US?"
i asked.

Her eyes were still fixed at her hands.

"It was f-fun. I-I get to know many people. P-people there were friendly."
She stuttered, fiddling her fingers rapidly.

I smiled.

Then after that, we were at a familliar way.

"Where do you live, By the way?"
I asked. The road was oddly very familliar.

"I-I will live with my sister."
She said.

"Oh okay."
I said.

Then it snapped me.

We went to a familliar road.

Where I walked Irene when we met at the bar.
