The Ultimate Race

Part 9

After we ate pizza, we went separate ways. I decided to walk home again, and pass by Mr. Park's house. I hoped Jimin wasn't there. When I got there, to all of my luck, he was there. I sighed and knocked on the door. Th door opened to see a tear filled Jimin, looking back at me.

~What is it with people and crying today?!~ I thought to myself. "What's wrong? What happened?" He just looked at me, and continued to cry silently. "Hey, Jimin, I'm talking to you." At that moment he pulled me into a hug, and stayed silent. "What's wrong," I asked not wanting to know the answer anymore. We walked inside, and sat down on the couch.

"H..... H-he um.....," Jimin tried to say, but broke down in tears again.

"Hey, hey, hey. Calm down. It'll be fine," I said with a hushed voice.

"No it won't, Harley. It won't because he's dead! My grandfather is dead, and it's my fault!" He yelled. I stayed quiet for a second, taking it all in.

"Jimin, don't say that. It wasn't your fault, and you know that."

"Yes it was! I didn't see him enough to take care of him! I left him all alone, for what?! To ruin my life even more! I'm a failure, and a disappointment to my family, friends, and myself!"

"Shut up! You're wrong, and you know it! You are not a disappointment to anyone! You are talented, smart, and handsome! Sure, your manners could use some work, but you are not a disappointment, or a failure! If your grandfather could see you right now, he would smack you! Now, be brave, and get through this!" I yelled, getting fed up with him.

 He looked shocked, and a bit calmed down. After a few moments of silence, he spoke, "You're right. I probably look pathetic right now."

"I know I'm right, and yes you look pretty pathetic right now," I said earning a slight laugh from him.

He looked up, started to cry... AGAIN! "I'm sorry, I'm too emotional right now," he said smiling a sad smile.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I've dealt with emotional girls before," I said smirking.

"Wow, I feel so loved," he said sighing. "What did I do to deserve someone like you in my life?"

"Nothing, I come around when I want. It doesn't matter if I'm needed, or not. If I'm wanted, or not. If I'm liked, or not. I'm just always there." He looked up, and stared at for a few moments. I just looked around, until a thought came to mind. "So, what happened today? What was that all about? It got me pretty pissed ya know."

He stayed silent, still looking at me. I turned around, and looked at him questioningly. But still, he stayed silent. It got pretty awkward, so I asked him again. "Wha-"

I got cut off by him pulling me close, slamming his soft, pink lips on mine.
