"Chapter 26"

______________________

"JI-EUN!" Jungkook stormed to her tent after we got me clothes, hitting the fabric of the black shelter. Within a few seconds she had it unzipped, not even looking at us, more occupied with her phone and chewing the gum in her mouth.

"What do you want Kook?"

"WHY THE FUCK DID YOU TAKE ALL JI-YOUNG'S CLOTHES!"  He yelled, stomping his muddy boots into the interior of his tent.

"Why would I do that!" She furrowed her eyebrows, chewing furiously. He shoved the note into her hands.

"IT'S YOUR FUCKING WRITING!"

"I didn't write this." She said calmly, handing back the note. "I don't write in blue ink, you know I hate the colour blue." Her eyes roll so far back into her skull, all I can see are the whites of her eyes, slightly veiny at the base.

"Well who the fuck took Ji-Young's clothes and wrote this stupid note filled with stupid threats!" Jungkook was quieter but still his voice was stern. I attempted to calm him down but he pushed me away, straightening up and breathing in.

Ji-Eun took a good look at the writing, cocking her head to the side as if it would help. "It has to be someone close to me if they can do my writing that well. But seriously Jungkook, it isn't me. This shit is fucked up and I wouldn't go that far to be with you. There are plenty of other guys who want me." She said it blatently and seriously that it made me smile slightly. She was pretty but she had no substance.

"Ji-Young, I'm sorry someone's threatening you like this, and I'm sorry your mum is in the hospital. But I know no one who works in the hospital nor did I know this happened to your family, so really, it can't be me."

A clenching pain spread through my chest and my heart felt warm. This was genuine and to hear this from Ji-Eun, it was kind've amazing. I smiled at her and she smiled back, handing me the note. As she did, something lit up in her eyes.

"WAIT!" Her eyes scanned the room furiously and she set her eyes on a purple suitcase next to her white one with a silver, glitter handle. She opened the suitcase, throwing clothes and underwear and belongings to scatter around the tent. Once she reached the bottom, she produced a set of blue pens and a notebook, with some ripped out pages. The paper matched this one.

"Who's case is that?" Jungkook leant closer, having a good look. I drew closer as well.

"Sun-Bi's. Her father is a surgeon at a hospital in East Seoul. Ji-Young, is your mum in that hospital that is about a 15 minute drive from that funfair? the one where you and Jungkook went like a month ago." She asked. I suddenly had a flashback to my birthday and when took Jungkook to the hospital. That was a 20 minute drive in traffic. I nodded towards her.

"This must've been her then. She always said she had a crush on Jimin and Taehyung but she always looked at you and talked about you. She also got really pissed when Taehyung said he wouldn't date her because he had eyes for someone else. And then pissed when Jimin dated Mina. So she got really mad when you two got close."

Just as she said that, the zip of the tent echoed through the tent and an unhappy figure lurked in the doorway. It was 5'7" worth of long legs and massive boobs and little butt, with ratty extensions likely ordered from Ebay. Sun-Bi chewed her gum furiously, glaring daggers into me. Harshly, I gulped.

"Hmm, I thought it would take you longer to work it out. Smarter than I thought."

"And your dumber than I thought." I retaliated, which shocked her. "HOW DARE YOU THREATEN ME!"

"It's more than a threat now sweetie. Since you had to rat to your little boyfriend about it, well, I guess I'll have to tell my daddy that you told me you can't pay for your little mummy's healthcare anymore." Her face made this stupid sympathy pout and I screamed at her, jumping towards her and pulling straight on her hair which not so much to my surprise, fell out immediately.

Behind me, Ji-Eun laughed, camera out, likely filming everything that just happened and Jungkook snorted at the disgusting, matted wig that just fell into my hands.

When Sun-Bi ran away, I was laughing too.

Okay, I've decided to extend this story about another chapter than I expected because I was going to have something else happen but.... eh.

But a double update, aren't I nice!
