Broken Wings

REVEAL THE DEVIL

     As soon as lunch break was announced, all the students flooded out of their classes. As I walked down the hallway, I felt the eyes of a few gaping mouths; slowly taking in my beauty bit by bit. I remember feeling the exact same pride and confidence that surged through me before I had been betrayed. Before I was broken. Before I had suicided.

      I winked at some of my fans and smirked as I felt their hearts melt with joy and happiness. It disgusts me very much, to be honest. I find it so pathetic when they react to even the smallest gestures that I do to acknowledge them. I can't say much about it myself, as I was also a victim to the simplest winks and smirks from the man I loved truly. What can I do? I was pure and innocent. My heart could easily be satisfied yet could also be punctured in a second's worth of time.

      However, my past and experiences has shaped my heart now. I could very much say that my heart is as good as stone. I don't love anyone, and I never will. I will tamper with the hearts of other people and get what I want. I don't care who I destroy, but I will do anything it takes to get my life back.

      I got to my locker and felt a pair of eyes staring at the back of my head deeply. I ignored it and kept picking at my lock. I felt footsteps come toward me and stopped. I swiveled around to see a pink-haired man, nose to nose with me. I felt his soft breath blowing on my face. I slowly pressed my back against my locker and looked away. I could feel my body heating up and my cheeks burn embarrassingly. I scowled and looked back at him right into him. His mouth slightly opened as he slowly backed away. Probably because my pupils turned red.

     "What do you want Jin?"

     "What do I want?! I don't want anything to do with you. Why do I have to take part in your stupid drama? I thought I'd be done with you when you died. I guess my assumptions were very much wrong. Here I am dealing with your same idiotic self all over again."

     "Idiotic you call me? You destroyed me. You owe me your life. The only reason you're here is because I gave my life to you. In exchange of my death, here you are, living a pathetic dumb life. I'm surprised I haven't killed you with my own bare hands yet. I trusted you and believed in your drama. You made me suicide."

    "I made you suicide? That was your decision. I just left you with some of my burden. It isn't my fault that you couldn't handle it."

     "You just said it yourself. You left me."

     Jin looked back at me, astounded with his mouth open to argue, but no words came out. I smirked. He hadn't changed one bit since I died. His hair was dyed pink; his favorite color. Beautiful, kissable plump lips. A jawline sharp enough to cut through someone's heart. Tall, built physique. Still, handsome as ever. I internally laughed at myself, thinking about how I still managed to admire him, even after all that he had done to me. That's true love for you.

     Jin noticed me looking him up and down, studying his features. Feeling self-cautious, he looked away and took a step back. He looked at me again from underneath his thick eyelashes unsure of how to react to my awkward gestures.

    "I'm assuming you told your group of friends that I'm your cousin, right?" I said quickly, breaking the silence.

   "Yeah, some of them. They are all really nice people. I'm sure they wont notice anything wrong with you."

    "I don't care if they are nice or not. As long as they don't get in my way, they'll live. I will definitely do whatever it takes to get my old life back."

     "So who have you chosen to-"

     "Jimin. Park Jimin."

    "Please no..." Jin trailed off. "He won't be able to handle it. I know he won't. Don't do this. He wants to experience so much and has so much capability in order to do so. He doesn't even have his parents to comfort him. He's too innocent. Please."

     "I was young. I had dreams. Did I even get the chance? Who are you to be telling me this? You were in my shoes once. Cruelty and selfishness took over your kindness. Heck, I don't even know if you were kind to begin with."

     "I-I didn't want to-."

     "Forget it Jin. The past is past. Nothing can be done. You owe me your life and so much more. You made me go insane, mental. You have no idea how much pain you had caused me. I suffered the punishment of your sins and your wrong-doings."

"But-"

"Jin I don't care what you say, but I'm not changing my mind. I'll only last for a month with the amount of burden I'm holding. Though I think I can manage to finish my job in less than a week."

Jin looked at me pleadingly in the eyes, almost making me want to give up and listen to him, but I won't fall for the same trick twice.

"Jin, look buddy. I'm in so much pain right now. I can't even explain it. I randomly get pounding headaches, and they take me into random flashbacks of my past. Having to relive each and every moment...it's tearing me apart mentally. I'm barely keeping my form together. Maybe I overestimated. Maybe I won't last a month. B-but-."

"No! Don't. Please don't say that. I'll help you. I caused this, and I'll help you fix it." Jin rushed.

"So you do care. Back then, you valued your life more than love. Whereas I thought love overpowered everything. Even if it meant that I had ruin myself, and destroy my mind for your sake."I smiled sadly. "-but don't feel guilty, because I'm going to do the same thing as you did. I've changed. I now too value my life over love."
