I've Never Dreamed

Part 55

We walk into an open room with the lights off.

"We're here. You'll see" I can barely see his smirk in the dark, but then he cuts the lights on, revealing another dining room that isn't used anymore.

I look around, not seeing anyone.

"Not to be rude, but are you okay Mark? I think you're seeing stuff." I continue looking around the room while walking out into the middle of the floor. The tables are pushed up against the walls with white cloths covering them. The middle of the room is wide open, showing the perfectly laid out wooden floors, where we're standing.

"Do you not see him? He's standing right in front of you. Jin, meet Mei, the most beautiful women alive." Mark looks at me and I blush, staring down at my feet.

"Thank you," A smile forms, but then I think on what he said. "Wait, did you say Jin?" 

"Yeah, why? Jaebum wanted me to do this for him, but he was joking on me earlier, so I've decided to take my other friend in for a deal."

3RD PERSON

-

Mark looks down at Mei, and notices something's off.

"Mei? Are you okay?" He moves in front of her and kicks her shoe, that she was intensively tapping the ground with.

"No. I'm sorry Mark, but I have to go. It was kind of you to do this for me. You can tell Jin...some other time" Mei looks up at him, holding back her tears as hard as she can.

Mark stares into her eyes. What's wrong with her all of a sudden? She was just fine...does she already know Jin? If they already knew each other, then why did he ask me to get her in here when he could've done it himself. They probably got into an argument or something and he just wanted to make it up...

Mark continues to contemplate reasons why Jin lied to him, and Mei thinks of ways to leave the restaurant. 

"Okay." He knows he can't force her to stay, "This might be the last time I see you Mei" Mark changes the topic quickly.

Mei frowns even more, thinking about her last day with everyone. "No it won't. I will make it to your concerts and fan meets, I promise." She smiles and holds out her pinky finger waiting for him to inner lock his with hers. He does and they, smile at each other.

"Let me see your phone" She hands Mark her phone with out hesitation, already knowing what he's going to do.

Yes, Mark puts in his phone number, but he also takes a selfie and posts it onto Mei's instagram account.

She stands there, staring at Mark as he explores her phone, and just thinks. She thinks about everything. Mark, Baekhyun, Jin, Jiao, Lay, Suho, and her brother.

"Now you can go." Mark smirks and hands back my phone. Before can respond to him, a voice speaks.

"Actually she can't, but you can my friend" I turn around to the only door in the room, only to be staring at Jin himself.

"I think Mei has to get back though." I don't want to make Mei uncomfortable, leaving her here with him.

Mei stares at Jin not sure how she feels about him. If it weren't for Jin kidnapping Kim Young in the first place, he would've never gotten killed. Considering she shot and killed Taeyang, and Jungkook killed TOP. She can't hold grudges out on them anymore.

"Okay, but you should know that your manager is getting ready to set off and needs everyone to help." Jin smirks, causing both Mei and Mark to be annoyed.

Mark looks at Mei, questioning if she'll be fine when he leaves. She smiles and nods her head. He then bows to both Jin and Mei, and takes his leave.

Mei looks up to Jin's face and bows.

"Bye Jin" Mei turns around and tries to follow Mark out the door, but then Jin cuts in front of her, stopping Mei from leaving the one doored dining room. I mentally curse myself out.

They're looking at each other eye to eye and it's killing Mei slowly. When she looks at him, all she sees is the person who caused her brother's death.

"I'm sorry." Jin doesn't blink an eye.

"That's all you know how to say huh?" Mei raises her eyebrows annoyed.

"What do you mean?" Jin narrows his eyes.

"Everytime we meet you are apologizing. You do something wrong and just think that an apology will make it better. Guess what?! It won't"

Mei spouts out her heart pointing and moving her head to match her feelings, while Jin stands there with his hands behind his back, taking her words in.

"I know and I'm-" He stops himself from apologizing, "I didn't mean for Kim Young to get hurt-" Mei stops him.

"No, don't say his name. You hurt me, but you got him killed. By your hands or not, if  you would've never taken him in the first place Taeyang wouldn't have found it nice to capture him!" She shouts in English, not being able to control anything. Luckily, Jin speaks English fluently. 

(Lol)

"I know." Jin says for the last time and gets in control over the conversation. "I rarely ever apology to anyone you know?! This is new for me Mei Li." Mei blinks a couple of times the narrows her eyes onto him.

"Exactly! You don't ever apologize to people! It's as if you have no feelings towards anything! My brother just-" she stops, lowering her voice, "died," She then gets back into her strong tone, "and you're apologizing now! You didn't even look at me the night it happened! You literally blew up the building and left, like what the hell Jin?!" Tears start to form in Mei's eyes, but she holds them back. Jin notices this.

"Mei. I'm apologizing to you because you changed me. I used to be a stuck up dick. I even paid all of my hook lines off and now I'm done with drugs and selling. I am so sorry for what I have put you and your family through, but Mei, I think...no, I love you."

Mei stares at Jin with confused emotions.

"You can't love me Jin." Mei's voice goes soft, but then a tear drops from her eye and slides down her cheek.

"Mei, I love you." Jin gets closer to her and holds her shoulders. Her eyes grow wide at the skin contact and she backs away.

"I already love somebody Jin. You are just getting your life back as I can tell, and I am too. You got my brother kidnapped and killed. I can't love you." 

Her words hit Jin hard, yet instead of being sad, he gets mad.

*A minute passes of intense stares*

MEI'S POV

-

"You do realize you and Baekhyun can never be together right?" He laughs as he talks and it makes my heart crack a little.

"That's not-" He cuts me off.

"He is a famous idol with millions of female fans who all want him. You'll just be a burden to the whole group. They'll get a lot of hate from fans and it will break them." I let his words sink in. I feel the hate more then ever now.

"Goodbye Jin." I walk past him hitting his shoulder. How could he say that? He said he loved me and I turned him down. What the hell did he except? Me to fall into his arms after kidnapping me, Jiao, and my brother, and not only that, but killing him. I hate him, even more now.

I turn the corner only to be face to face with Baekhyun.
