Stigma #3 » k.th ✓

twenty one

taehyung: lisa, i have to tell you something.
taehyung: it's really important.

I waited all night, but I received nothing. Lisa must've been pretty busy. Either sleeping, eating out or being with Jimin. It really concerned me more.

"I want to go check up on Lisa." I told Clara while she was drinking her iced chocolate drink.

"Dude, don't- have you been listening to my story?"

"A hundred percent! Every single detail of it. I can't let Jimin do the same to her." Clara grabbed my arm and with all her might, tried stopping me. "He manipulated you. Recently, my sister doesn't even listen to me when I tell her warnings. Keeps on contradicting my theories and tells me he's been really sweet and kind and it's just gibberish after hearing your story."

She placed both of her arms on my shoulders and made me sit back down. Her eyes on me, a lifted brow and a shake of the head, "Look, I know about our past. Really bad. But I had my own faults in that. Maybe I triggered something in Jimin before and that's why he acted like that. Lisa and I are different. I heard. . .Jimin went into rehab before starting college, anyway."

"Where did you hear that?" I can't bring myself to listen to anything right now. Lisa could be in danger if I don't stop her.

"That was our last time talking. Before going our seperate ways, we made a pact to never reveal anyone about our relationship. He kept his promise, I think. And then he told me he wanted to be a better man, for someone else.." She ran her hands on her forearm, shivering. Even though she had a blanket wrapped around her.

"We can't be sure if it really did him good."

"You're right, we can't. Don't you know your own sister, then? Think of how she would be able to handle him. She has friends, I presume? And of good influence?"

"I think her name was Jennie. She seems like a casual person.." She was trying to calm me down, that's what I think. Being paranoid myself is not helping the situation.

"Tae, honestly, it's not a good thing if you always try to control your sister. She's at the right age and can decide for her own. You're her family and you're looking out for her, I get that, but trusting her won't do any harm, right?"

Will it not?

lisa: ah, slr, i was practicing for my club
lisa: but tae, if this is gonna be about jimin, please stop alrdy :( i feel very discouraged enough as it is. i thought you'd finally trust me...i'm a big girl now, i can handle break ups and just cry about it. jimin has been really good to me, he let me have dinner w his parents and a second time

taehyung: you're right
taehyung: i should trust you more. and that's what im trying to do now,,
taehyung: it's just hard to believe, after what i heard

lisa: i want u to get along and get to know jimin better :( for both our sakes

taehyung: im trying. im still gonna try, don't worry.

Just in case, I'm going to tell Jimin the truth. The whole truth before it's too late. And by that, I mean, he ought to know who he's up against.

lisa: ah oppa, i'm going to perform tmr with my unnies. pls watch me there 😭

taehyung: is this going to be your debut stage? i would never miss it for the world !! you can count on me ✨
