FALLING IN LOVE

Chapter 9 - Who?

Will you still remember me after 10 years? 10 years from now, where will we be?
---------------------------------------------------

So exactly who is the one? I am sure everyone would like to know. BTS continues to investigate what happened behind Jihyo's back. But so far, there have not been any leads since there are not many people there. However, they decided to observe the 3 main people responsible. 

2 weeks later

Jihyo's POV

I was recovering well and I wanted to go back to school as soon as possible because I don't want to miss lessons. I was fine just need some rest here and there. 

As much I hate going back because I was so afraid, I had to. My grades are important too so I don't want to miss out so much. I know there will be a lot on my plate and I hope I can actually cope and not care but ever since the incident, BTS and Yerin are very protective of me so it makes me feel so much better. 

As for Jimin... I just feel like we somehow got closer, he isn't that bad as he was last time but then maybe since I was hurt so he just did that out of consideration. The feelings with him had always been so frustrating and confusing so I didn't think much of his gestures because there's nothing to think about honestly. 

I just want to focus on my studies and my full recovery, if I actually can. 

The lesson I went back to after so long is so coincidence with Jimin and Minah both in my class. And I went to class with Jimin. Because he was asked by my brother that's all, I had to tell myself that do not feel anything special. 

I was actually more afraid than anything else, I mean what should I do if Minah were to see this? I am afraid she will do things to me again and even though I don't look scared, I am actually. This uneasy feeling just makes it more awkward for both of us. 

Walking in, Minah was there with her friends and when she saw us walk in, her smile immediately faded I swear. She stops talking and just stares at me with an unpredictable expression. I don't know what she is thinking but I do know that she will surely be very angry. 

I ignored her and just took a seat in my usual seat. Hye Joo, my seatmate welcome me back by giving me her notes so that I would not miss out on so much. She has always been a very good seatmate and she is one of my closest friends. 

TIME SKIP

School ended and I was finally free! I am super tired and was about to head home but headed to the toilet first before going to meet the rest. I met Minah when I went out and this is the person I wanted to meet the least after what she did to me. Thanks to her, I dreamt of my traumatic experience almost every night and I can't tell anyone especially BTS and Yerin. 

Minah: SO I see you are alright, that was pretty high.

Jihyo: Yeah...all thanks to you..

Minah: I just want to say I am very sorry but... *whispers close to jihyo's ears* Jimin is still MINE. 

Jihyo: You don't own him.. neither do I. Please just stop...

She was not pleased hearing that. Instead, she slapped me in the face so suddenly that I can't even avoid it. She pushed me to the ground after. It hurts so much because I haven't recovered yet. She shouted at me "He is mine and always mine, who are you to steal him??! He likes me NOT you!!" 

With that, she walked off. It hurts, yes but my heart hurt even more. I knew the fact that he will never like me but hearing it from the girl he likes makes me feel even more painful than before. I bite back my tears, I don't want anyone to know. 

Jimin POV

I was about to head to where the rest are after settling some stuff at the general office when I pass by the 3rd-floor girl's toilet and saw Minah walked out with an angry expression on her face. I wanted to call out to her but seeing her expression, maybe it is not the time to bother her. 

Before I wanted to leave, I saw Jihyo holding her waist, with a clearly pained expression walking out of the toilet. I quickly rushed to her asking her if she is was ok. 

"Yeah... I am okay."

"Really? You look hurt, did something happened?" 

"Erm yeah... I just... erm accidentally hit the sink when I am washing my hands and I haven't fully recovered that's why it hurts." 

I don't fully believe what she says but I don't look like I have a choice. 

I held her shoulders and helped her to the rest.  

Jihyo's POV 

That feeling when you want to not care about him but he keeps on appearing and being nice to me. That is just so unbearable. I want to escape but I can't. 

It was just a considerate gesture. But then again, I can't help but feel my heart beating so fast the moment he touched my shoulders. I was shaking a little bit lucky he didn't realise.

We reached to where the rest of the BTS and Yerin were and they were shocked to see both of us with him trying to support me.

Yerin: Omg! Are you okay?? What happened??

I told her the same story that I told Jimin and she didn't seem to believe me but well I suck at lying. I don't want Jimin to be sad and I don't want any arguments between anyone. This stays with me. 

I ended up resting at home and my brother was like questioning me about what happened and I just told him it was an accident and nothing more happened. He got angry because he doesn't believe me saying that it doesn't match up.

So I have no choice but to say I am tired and wanted to sleep and tell him not to bother me. 

Hoseok's POV

I got angry yes but that's because I care. Sigh, I don't want anything to happen to my sister. She is someone super important and I am supposed to be there for her if anything happens to her but here I am feeling frustrated because she got hurt and I am not there for her. 

I went back to my room and decided to just give her some time. (He went back to his house not the dorm since jihyo got into an incident, the rest of BTS is in the dorm)

Meanwhile in the dorm- In Jimin's room 

Jimin's POV 

Words can't describe how I feel. I wanted to believe Minah because I truly believe she would not do something like this. And I was a little annoyed when the rest of the members were saying that it might be her and she became one of our suspects.

I don't want to agree with them at first and I really believe her.

But now, I really don't know. The stories Jihyo said does not make sense at all and Minah today...

She clearly had an angry expression and both of them came out from the same toilet I mean yes it might be coincidence but isn't it too much of a coincidence?

I don't want to doubt since I have feelings for her. That's why even if all evidence points to her, I don't really believe it. I am confused. But if she really is the person we are finding, I don't know what to feel. 

For now, I want to believe that she's not lying and she is not the person we are looking for. 

Looking at the clock, it showed 2 am. 

"I should sleep now if not I would be late for school tomorrow. I will continue investigation tomorrow." I told myself before I fell asleep.  

Hello, I am back! Sorry for the lack of updates, I would most likely update once in a week because I have school and the workload is quite heavy for me but thanks for waiting! Hope people are actually reading this story haha. Thanks for supporting and I love you all! <3
