Cut Eyebrows

4---pushing the limit (1/2)

"Yah, about time you came! I'm so hungry! God, help me please." J-Hope shouted.

"God won't help you." Suga sassed. "And shut up will you?"

"I can't. I'm your hope~ I'm your angel~" J-Hope flapped his arms around.

I rolled my eyes and set the boxes of chicken down. "Peasants, come get food."

"You too, shut up." Suga shoved his way and grabbed a plate. I saw Rap Mon come out of his room and over to the counter.

"You bought?" He asked.

"I borrowed money from Jungkook."

Once everyone was sitting down, I looked at Jimin and cleared my throat. "Rap Mon, hyung."

He looked up. "What's up, Taehyung-ah?"

"I heard you're going to Australia again."

"Yeah, and?"

"Can I come with you—"

"No." He said right away.

I bit my lip. This isn't how I visioned it to be. "But Jimin is coming too. We both have our own money to pay—"

"I said, no. Taehyung, you can't come with me."

"Why though? You don't even know why I want to go."

Rap Mon chuckled. "Taehyung, I am not stupid. I know what you're trying to do. I don't think it'll work."

"HA! See?" Jimin bursted out. He sighed, "I will be happily staying here, right here, in Seoul. Sorry, Tae."

I glared at him. I looked back at Rap Mon. "C'mon, please? I've been working so hard, just let me come this once."

"Even if you do come, it'll be a waste. She won't want to see you."

"But remember what she said in the letter? There's hope!"

J-Hope's head shot up. "Hope? Hope? I'm your hope—" Suga took a piece of fried chicken and shoved it in his mouth to shut him up. "Not right now, horse boy."

"Taehyung, she wrote that three years ago. I think things have changed."

"But what if I just want to see her as friends?"

Jungkook cleared his throat and took a sip of water. "H-Hyung... V hyung should just go. Just bring him with you and if you get pissed, just ditch him. He did say that he has his own way there."

Rap Mon sighed. "Jungkookie-ah but think about the other half."

"How about you talk to the other half then?" Suga interrupted. "Get Jin to talk to Sangchil. Then see what happens."

Little by little, my hopes got up. At least most of them were on my side. "Please? Please, hyung. I need closure too."

"But what if you end up getting an answer that you didn't want? You're going to be broken."

I scoffed. "I am already. I know what it's like, it won't do much more damage anyways."

We all looked at Rap Mon, who was thinking hard. "I'll... Talk with him."

I clapped my hands. "Thank you!"

After we ate, I went into my room to rest. I looked through my books so that I could study later. I said later, not now.

As I shuffled into bed, I felt something softly clatter on the floor. I picked it up. It felt like a thousand fans were blowing cold air at me. I starred for a long time at it.
