Trying to reach you- Jungkook ff (COMPLETED)

Chapter Seven: The Encounter (Part 1)

ZIA'S POV

I don't why, but i feel that something's is about to happen today.😥

All classes were finished and the hallway was full of people, fighting their way in the crowd to get to their lockers.

I looked down and hid my face because I just want to blend in without having to talk to anyone.

But then again i guess my presence was discovered when someone shouted my name from the crowd. Fear took over me as I looked around. I wanted to run but someone tugged on my hand not letting me get away. I stood frozen from my place and flinched from the sudden contact. I suddenly remember the things that happened from before; nightmares that I wanted to forget. I closed my eyes as I trembled, then the person held on to my shoulders and made me face his direction. He again spoke: "Zia it's okay it's just me..."

I opened my tear filled eyes only to see Jimin oppa looking at me, worried. I didn't knew that I held on my breath the whole time; but seeing that it's just him I began to relax.

Jimin oppa didn't know that I was bullied at school not only by girls, but as well as the boys, since the queenka from my old school ordered them to do so. Oppa also didn't know the critical part of the story, which explains the reason of the bullying; that was because the queenka had feelings for my brother and completely misunderstood our relationship from each other. Since I didn't have the chance to explain it to them, they just immediately did their plan without asking for the right information. Me being me, I didn't want oppa to know because he might think it's all his fault. I don't want that, because it's really not; and he never did something to hurt me so why would I blame him? I just kept this to myself all these years.

"O-oppa waeyo?" I finally gained my voice to speak.

"Sorry Zia... Did I startled you? I just want to walk home with you." Jimin oppa said, with a pained expression.

"A-ahh~ okay kaja!" I tried to lighten up the mood.

He just nodded and we started to walk home.

~time skip~

Our whole journey home was awkward. No one uttered a word nor made any noise which was weird because we always goof around when we're together. In the corner of my eye I observed him, he seemed to be deep in thought. I wonder if I'm the one who caused it, because this behavior just happened after the incident at the corridor. Aishh~ how could I not recognize his voice when he called me?! Zia Pabo!

"Oppa~" i tried distracting him.

Cut off from deep thoughts, he looked at me confused.

"O-ohh did you say something?" he said, obviously not expecting me to call him so suddenly.

"Aigoo~~ Why so serious oppa? You aren't like this. Is something wrong? Was it because I got scared of you calling me at the hallway earlier?" I said to him.

"Ani... I completely understand don't worry!" He tried to defend but still there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Mianhaeyo oppa... I didn't mean for that to happen. I just-" I tried finding words to say but nothing came out after.

Oppa gave me a soft expression and smiled a little. He reached out to me only to put his arms around me whispering: "Gwenchana Zia~ I completely understand."

Comforted by his words I began to relax and slowly returned the hug. This is why I can't blame him because all he's been is a kind and loving brother.

Putting a little distance between us, he suddenly wiped my cheeks. I didn't even know that I cried at that time and just thanked him.

"Kaja!" he said and grinned, completely returning to the Jimin I knew.

~time skip~

Completely satisfied from tonight's meal, I laid down on my bed without changing my clothes.

The door of my room suddenly open only to see oppa entering and closed the door behind him. Making space for him to sit, I moved a little to the side of the bed. I sat up, looked at him and ask: "Waeyo? Do you need something oppa?"

"Actually, I do. Uhm Zia, I have a favor to ask you..." he said, obviously nervous.

"Uhm sure what is it oppa?" i replied, anticipating what this favor might be.

"Actually I had Jungkook meet my friends at school and he kinda let it slip out that I have a sister; mentioning your name to them" He explained.

My smile slowly turned into a frown. I didn't know that this was the topic that he wanted to talk about. I kinda told him not to tell anyone about our relationship as siblings because I don't want to meet new people.

"I have hid our secret for a long time now. And obviously we can't change the fact that our secret will be revealed to everyone sooner or later." he continued.

"Uhm... Since they know about it already they wanted to meet you. I'm sorry Zia, I really did my best to hide it but we can't avoid such information to be out in the open. So can you please allow me to introduce you to them? It's been a long time now, I think it's time for you to reach out to people too." He added, trying to appeal his offer.

I thought about it for a while. Jiminie oppa had been patient with me, that if I didn't want to meet new people he wouldn't push me to do it. He's been patient with me for almost 4 years now, I think I haven't been trying to help myself to recover from my past experience. I've been holding it off for too long now. Should I do it? Or not?

"Zia I'm not forcing you okay? If you want I'll find a way to decline the offer." Oppa said softly.

"Ani~ you know what oppa, I think I'd like to try. They seemed friendly and fun when you shared your stories about them to me." I smiled, not regretting my decision.

"Okay we'll cancel it immedia- wait what?!?" he said, turning his head so hard in my direction that I heard a crack, obviously not believing what he heard.

"I said: 'I would like to meet them'." I repeated.

"Jinjjayo?!? Wait are you sick or something? Are you playing with me? I swear I'll get mad if that was a joke!" still bewildered by me agreeing to his offer.

"I do want to oppa~" I assured him.

His eyes lit up. He ran towards me and lifted me up from the bed; hugging me tight and spun me around.

"This means a lot to me Zia! Jinjja! I'm so proud of you~ You're finally allowing yourself to let go!" he said almost tearing up.

I hugged him back and giggled.

Now how should I do this??? Aish... I'll just let it happen. I smiled seeing Oppa filled with joy because of my decision. I definitely didn't regret anything. Zia hwaiting!💪
