What You Do To Me || KTH✔

Chapter 38

|Taehyung's P.O.V.|

I had been planning everything in all of my spare time. I wanted to fix everything as soon as possible, and if all that planning was what I needed to do, then that's what I was going to do.

But finally, I think my plan was done. Bangtan and I had figured out what we were going to do with Jisung, and all I had to plan was what I was gonna say to Jihee.

I decided to text BTS to meet me at the park, and they all knew what that meant. We were ready. There wasn't really too much to prepare for, just for if things went wrong. But I doubt that will happen. All we need to do is ask him for a clean slate, and if that goes well, then we'll ask about Jihee. If we even get that far.

Once we had all arrived at the park, RM pulled out his phone. Luckily, we had thought ahead and asked a friend for his number. Don't ask, it was all RM. The rest of us don't have any idea how he did it either, but it worked.

"Ok, it's sent." RM said. We all squished together trying to look at his phone's screen

RM:
We're here at the park, and we need to talk.

We all impatiently waited for a response, until about a minute later his phone beeped, signaling a text message.

Jisung:
Who is this?

RM:
This is RM, from BTS.

Jisung:
I only know one RM, there was no need to explain. But I'll be there.

We all stepped back and took a deep breath. So far, this was all going according to plan. I felt a few butterflies form in my stomach, but that was to be expected. Although I've talked face-to-face with Jisung before, this was way more important and risky than the other times. They were all going to be discussing matters that I had no idea about before we even got anywhere near my part.

A few minutes later, Jisung showed up. It was getting a bit late, so the 8 of us were the only ones there. Remember the few butterflies in my stomach from before? Well, that number probably tripled as soon as I saw Jisung.

He approached us with a mean look on his face. I could tell that he didn't want to be here, but I figured that he knew if we wanted to talk to him, it had to be something important. That's probably the only reason he came in the first place.

"Ok, what do you want?" He asked rudely.

"We need to discuss some things." RM said in a serious tone. I turned around to look at the rest of the members. They all had a serious look on their face, including Hobi.

"I kinda figured that much, what things?" Jisung added.

"Like our situation that happened years ago." RM said, and his facial expression softened. "We want to make a clean slate."

Jisung had a look of confusion on his face. "Is that the only reason that you made me come here?" He asked.

"No, but one thing at a time." Suga said. 

"So a clean slate between the 7 - no, 8 of us... and why?" Jisung continued.

"Because we're tired of walking around holding grudges, and we don't want to deal with that drama anymore. That was years ago, and we're older, we're over it at this point." J-Hope said. 

"This is over Jihee, isn't it?" Jisung asked, seeing right through our plan. "Are you gonna do this all for her?"

We stayed silent.

"Don't you think," Jisung continued, stepping closer, "that it's ridiculous to do this, just for a girl? For my sister?"

I took a small step back, but everyone else stood their ground.

"No, it's worth it. And it's not just for her, it's for all of us." RM said confidently.

"We're not hateful people, and we don't need to have some stupid drama from years ago still haunting us." Jungkook said.

"Do you want to know why I did those things?" Jisung asked.

I slowly nodded my head, and before anyone else could answer, Jisung started to explain.

"So way back when we were in elementary school, I was really popular in my grade. I was a really good singer, and everyone thought that was really cool. One day, there was an announcement for a talent show, and I was really excited. All of my friends told me to try out for it, and I did." Jisung started. "And I practiced for so long, I was so excited to perform in front of the whole school. Everyone in my grade was excited too, because they all wanted to watch and see me."

"So the day of the talent show came... and I was the second to last performer. I did really well, and I think it was the best I had ever done. The crowd was ecstatic, they all thought I did so well." Jisung continued. "But then the last performers came. And guess who that was."

"Wait..." RM mumbled, as if he was starting to remember what happened.

"It was you 6." Jisung explained.

What did this have to do with their situation at all?

"So after your performance, the crowd was amazed. You guys sang and rapped while dancing, which was apparently way better than my performance. Everyone that used to think I was so cool didn't think that way anymore. You 6 just had to be better." Jisung said, and he seemed to be getting a bit mad as he remembered the story. "I was popular before, but then suddenly no one seemed to care about me anymore. I became a nobody, just because there were a few kids that just happened to be better than me at something."

Wait... so that was why he was mad?

"I lost a lot of friends that day. To be fair, they probably only were friends with me because they thought I was cool... but still, it was very lonely to walk into the school building and not have a ton of people waiting there to see me." He continued. "And then, a few years later, you probably didn't even know my name, but I knew exactly who you all were. I wanted revenge, even though you guys had done nothing wrong. I just wanted you guys to see how it felt to be hated by someone... to have at least one person not like you, to not be loved by everyone."

"That's the reason why you bullied us?" Jimin asked, really confused.

Jisung nodded. "I thought it wasn't fair, and I thought that if I made you guys feel like you weren't as perfect as everyone thought you were, then maybe everyone would see that there was nothing making you 6 any better than me..."

"That's just ridiculous... why would you do something like that?" Suga asked.

Jisung's angry expression softened, and he looked down to the ground. "And that's why I think... the whole thing was stupid. I forgive you guys, and I want you to forgive me." He said.

Wait... what?
