33: Pabo Joohyun!

Irene's POV

"What's wrong Hyun-ah? Are you okay? I was so worried about you. I was dying to hug you. Jungsoo is finally in jail!" He said with his eyes glistening with desperation so I would respond normally to him.

His hands were currently cupped on my face. I felt a bit uncomfortable so I took his hands and gently placed them in his lap.

"That's good for you, but if you don't mind me asking... Who are you?" I asked him.

He wasn't good in hiding his expressions. His face turned from bright as the sun to as dark as the empty, night sky. His eyes started to tear up.

"What do you mean? You know who I am right?" He asked with high hopes. I wanted to make him feel better, but I just couldn't.

I slowly shook my head. "I'm sorry, but I don't know you."

He couldn't hold back his tears and released a heavy sigh. He was trying to take the whole situation in. He made his fingers roll up into a fist, I'm guessing in anger. He silently stood up and left the room.

Fear took over me. I started asking questions.

Would he do something stupid to himself? Or to someone?

What is he going to do now?

Where is he going?

I hope he won't drown himself in alcohol again...

I quickly get out of the hospital bed and run after him. Our prank went wrong.

The truth is, Jungkook and I wanted to play a prank on him. I kind of wanted to test how much Taehyung loves me. I found out that he loves a little too much. 

Pabo Joohyun!

I was running in the hallway in my hospital gown, causing a lot of attention to go on me. I bumped into Jungkook on my way out the door.

"Noona? What are you doing here? Where's hyung?"

"Jungkook-ah, everything went wrong. I was pretending to have amnesia, but Taehyung just left. He looked like he was going to do something stupid. Jungkook-ah, we need to find him before he hurts himself." I said sobbing into his chest as he pulled me into a comforting hug.

"Don't worry Noona. We'll find him. First off, we're going to tell him the truth." He advised me.

"Won't he just get mad?"

"Noona, we both know that he is willing to forgive you in a heartbeat. That's how much he loves you."

I turned around and was about to head to my hospital room, hoping that Taehyung would come back and visit me. Turns out he was right behind us, listening to our whole conversation.

"Taehyung-ah." It was all I could say before he stormed off, purposely making our shoulders hit each other.

"Why is being in love so painful?" I complained to Jungkook.

"Pain is just another form of love. It's the most satisfying pain in the world."

"You seem to know a lot about love don't you. Oooooh Jungkook-ah has a crush!" I said teasing him. I thought it would help me get my mind off of Taehyung for a bit.

"Not a crush. More like one-sided love."

"Doesn't it suck to love someone who doesn't love you back? I mean isn't it a waste of time?"

"One-sided love is the best love. No one has control over my love except for me. That's why it is the best love out there."

"Wow Jungkook. This girl must be special." I said seeing how mature he was being about a sensitive topic.

"She is." He said with a sad smile. I felt sorry for him and patted his back, indicating that he'll never walk alone.

"Noona will always be here for you Kookie!" I said trying to brighten up the mood.

I heard him mumble something to himself... I couldn't quite make out what he was saying. We then walked to the bus stop together. Jungkook made sure I was safe until I reached my doorstep. We said our goodbyes to each other.

"See you tomorrow Noona!" He said waving.

"Wait, what's tomorrow?"

"Ummm school? Duh Noona."

Pabo Joohyun.

"Oh yeah. See you." I said embarassed.

I went into my big, empty and cold house remembering that all of my things are in Taehyung's house, in his room .

My phone started to ring. I checked the caller ID. It was Yeri.

I answered the call hesitantly, scared she would yell at me for pranking Taehyung.

"Hello?"

"Hello Unnie?"

"Yeah."

"Where are you? It's really late. Taehyung came home but he just stormed off to his room. Is everything okay?"

"Yeri-ah..." I explained the whole thing to her. The prank, him evesdropping, and leaving Jungkook and I in the hospital.

"That's it? What's the big deal? You can't break up like this! You're supposed to be my sister-in-law!!!"

"Yeri I don't think I should go to your house. I don't think I can face Taehyung right now."

"Unnie, you're either coming to my house, or I'm coming over there." She threatened.

"Okay, I'm coming. I'll be there in 10 minutes."

"Bye unnie!!!"

AT TAEHYUNG'S HOUSE (ACTALLY JUNGKOOK'S)

I rang the doorbell. My heart was pumping fast.

"Oh, Hyun-ah! You're finally here!" Tae Omma said with a bright smile. She pulled me into a bear hug. She must've missed me.

"Noona, you're here? We could've just walked home together. Now you're making me feel bad." Jungkook said with a pout.

I chuckled to myself. "It's okay Jungkook-ah."

"Omma, I'll just grab my things. I should be living in my own house. I don't want to become a burden on you." I continued.

"Hyun-ah, don't worry. I know what happened between you and Taehyung.  Aish, that kid is so sensitive sometimes. But no excuses. You're going to stay here with Yeri and I until you get married to Taehyung!" She ordered.

"Fine Omma, whatever you say. But, where are my things?" I asked as I'm uncomfortable in the short black dress, which was stained with blood, tightly hugging my body.

"They're in Tae's room." She said.

I froze. My body had shut down.

Omma came up behind me and gently placed her hand on my shoulder.

"It's okay. He's in the shower. Be quick and grab your things before he comes out of the bathroom. You can share a room with Yeri, who's currently eating her secret stash of pudding." Omma giggled.

I quietly ran up the stairs and opened the door, just enough to see if anyone was in there. The coast was clear.

I looked to my left to see his bathroom door closed. I could hear the water running. I turned my head to the right to see all of my things neatly set by his desk.

I was about to grab my things when I noticed a picture of Taehyung and I from our park date. The memories were overflowing in my head. The good old times. I picked up the picture and ran my fingers on Taehyung's face.

"I'm so sorry Taehyung. I just wanted to get back at you for all the times you've pranked me. I did everything with love. Even if I did have amnesia, the only person I would remember would be you. You're always on my mind. What can I do to make you forgive me?"

"Get out." I heard his voice from behind me. It's not going to be easy to win his trust again... ughhhh.

Pabo Joohyun!
