I did it.

"Jihye, you killed him." Yoongi muttered as he went over to the dead Namjoon laying on the ground.

"I'm finally free." I whispered.

Kisum ran over and hugged me as tightly as she could.

"You don't know how happy I am now that it is over. You can come back to school, finish up third year with us and move on with our lives."

"Thank you Kisum, I'm thankful for having such an amazing and loyal best friend."

As we let go, Jongin's boys started to pick up Namjoon's body.

"Where are you going to put him?"

"Don't worry about it, he won't be found." Sehun smirked as he picked up his right leg.

I totally forgot that my phone was still turned off, so I quickly turned it back on.

I found over 100 messages and missed calls.

The most recent, was from Yang.

It read,

"Come by my building as soon as you can."

Looking up at the others, I informed them that I would be back soon.

As I left the house, someone else left with me.

"Why are you following me?" I asked them.

"Just felt like it." They responded back as I looked for a taxi.

"Where are we heading?"

"Since when are you going with me?"

"Since now."

"Yah Jungkook, you're so extra."

"I know I am. And anyways, where are we going."

"To visit Yang. He said that he needs to see me."

I flagged down a taxi and told them to take us to the YG building in Hongdae.

We finally arrived and instead of me paying, Jungkook decided to pay the taxi man and we exited.

"Just follow me." I motioned.

We entered and the same lady in the front desk noticed us and just smiled.

Smiling back, we approached the same elevator and it quickly opened.

"You know where his office is?" He asked.

"I was here earlier."

He nodded as I pressed the fifth floor.

This time, everything seemed to be happening more quickly.

The elevator door opened quicker than earlier, and we got to the fifth floor quicker.

Leaving, I approached his office and opened it.

It's not rude when he's your father and he needs to see you.

"You're here finally." He spoke from inside his office.

"Oh look, you brought a friend. A boyfriend I presume?"

Lightly smiling, I noticed Jungkook's cheeks burn dark pink.

"What did you need to see me about?"

"I found out that you finished the game."

"How did you-" I got cut off.

"I always had eyes on you. And I wanted to congratulate you on such a victory. You're now free and you can do whatever you want."

"Thank you, and I'd like to restart my life."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't want to continue ARIRANG. It's not a family owned company anymore. I would like to finish school and see what path I take in a University."

"You are smart. Well if it's what you want, then I may not stop you."

"Also, does he know about who you really are?" My father pointed at Jungkook.

"No, he does not." Jungkook gave me a questioning look but I just brushed it off.

"Well, Jihye is actually my daughter. She is a Yang and her real name is Hyein. I gave her up to the Song's because of business and I volunteered for them to put her into the game. Her twin was Sol, but Sol had no idea." Father spoke for me.

Looking down at the ground, I expected Jungkook to lash out on me for lying to him, but he did not.

He seemed caring and understanding as he pulled me into a hug.

"I don't care about your past really, I care about you now. I will never stop loving you even if you turned out to be a criminal. You are an innocent person to me. I see you as a glass figurine. You are fragile and need to be taken care of before you crack. Through the game, that's what you have been. You have been tough from the outside, but once you are cracked, you are nothing."

I started to cry.

Why is he so sweet?

I don't deserve him.

He's too kind and innocent for me.

"T-Thank you for understanding."

"I will always love you for who you really are, not by how others see you."
