Safe Haven (Seulmin)

Masks

Seulgi's POV

I woke up to the morning rays softly casting shadows into the room. An arm was around my waist as I looked around. Wait... where am I? I look around the room, my eyes casting to the object next to me. Then, it hit me. I was in Jimin's room and he was right next to me. I looked at our position and blushed, moving slowly out of his embrace so that I wouldn't wake him up. His arm was around my waist, holding me closely to his body. After a few minutes of struggling, I get out, moving the blankets to cover him so he wouldn't get cold. I walk to the bathroom and get ready for the morning. I didn't have any clothes to wear so I continued wearing the ones that Jimin gave me. I went to the kitchen to make breakfast, looking through his fridge for something to make. I finally decided to make pancakes and eggs for breakfast. As I was cooking, Jimin slowly shuffled into the kitchen, his hair disheveled, but still capable of looking incredibly handsome in the morning.

"Morning," he said, taking a seat at the table and yawning. I looked over at him and smiled, placing a plate of food in front of him. He silently ate as I joined him soon after cooking.

"Thanks for breakfast Seul, it's really good," Jimin said, walking to place his dish into the sink.

"Seul..?" I whispered, blushing slightly at the nickname.

"You like it? I thought of it just now," he said, smiling.

"Wow, Park Jimin can think? That's surprising," I teased, hoping to hide the fact that I was eternally screaming on the inside. He glared at me, a smile playing on his lips as he went back to doing the dishes.

"So where are we going today?" I asked,  hoping that he would tell me.

" Well first, I have to take you home so you change into some new clothes before I take you to the surprise place," he says. I silently nod and finish my breakfast, heading upstairs to change into my outfit from yesterday. We get ready and we walk to my house. I cautiously look around, making sure that the individual from yesterday was not present anymore. Jimin must have noticed my weird behavior.

" Hey, you okay?" he asked, a hint of concern in his voice. I silently nod and look away as we reach my house. I tell Jimin to wait there as I go inside, noticing a note on my door. I quickly rip it off before Jimin notices and head inside, my heart pounding on my chest as I slowly opened it. The words "I'll be back" was written in a messy font, but after looking at it for so many years I could easily read it. I quickly toss the note away and get dressed, not wanting Jimin to wait any longer. I leave my house, slightly shaken by the note. Jimin takes my hand, comforting me and causing me to relax. We silently walk to the bus station and wait. That's when it hit me.

"Are we going to an amusement park?" I asked, excitement rising in me as I looked at the bus we were about to take. He smiled sheepishly and nodded.

"I haven't been there in a long time and I thought maybe you would want to go to," he said, looking away from me as his cheeks turned a faint pink. The bus soon arrived and we got on, heading to the amusement park. As soon as we arrived, Jimin grabs my hands and drags me to the line, excitement shining in his eyes and he took in our surroundings. I chuckled at his expression. We bought our tickets and went in, going on the scariest rides to the more childish ones. Throughout the whole day, Jimin continued holding my hand, but I didn't protest. We laughed, screamed, and had an amazing time. I wish... the day wouldn't end. We decided to get on the Ferris Wheel last so that we could see the sunset. As we stood in line, someone pushed me from behind, causing me to tumble forward.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" the person behind me said with an overly sweet voice. I turn around and my mood drops. Oh Hana stands behind me, anger evident in her eyes as she looked at our hands. I quickly let go of Jimin's hands and look at the floor. Knowing her, she would make my life at school worse than ever because she saw us here.

"Jimin, it's so nice to see you," she exclaims, pushing me to the side while holding on to Jimin's arms.

" Hana... Nice to see you here," Jimin says, pulling his arm away from her. He stared at me with a slightly hurt expression.

Jimin's POV

I look at Seulgi, slightly hurt that she had let go of my hand. She wasn't looking at me, but at the floor.

" Jimin, we should go on this ride," Hana says, trying to act cute. I feel disgusted, but I try not to show it. I look over at Seulgi and grab her hand, causing her to look up in shock and surprise.

"I'm sorry Hana, but I'm sitting with Seulgi," I say, smiling at Seulgi as I watch her blush. Hana looks at me with a mixture of shock and anger, but quickly covers it up.

" Well...that's too bad," she says, forcing a smile on her face. Seulgi and I were up next on the ride and with a small nod, I leave her, dragging Seulgi to the cart. I sit on one side as she sits on the other, our knees touching. She doesn't look at me and stares out her window as we slowly climb higher to the top.

" Seulgi, are you okay?" I ask, as I watch her silently nod her head. She looks at me in the eyes as a small smile graces her lips. Even though she smiled, I knew her true feelings. She was scared and frightened of the after math of our encounter with the devil herself.

" Stop wearing a mask Seulgi. Stop pretending your okay when you aren't. Stop hiding yourself because I see you. Don't hide yourself anymore and tell me how you feel because I want to help you," I say, moving to sit next to her. She looks at me for a moment and a tear runs down her face. I pull her into my embrace and soon her arms wrap around my waist as we watch the sunset mask the ugliness in the world.
