Blind || BTS Jungkook

Chapter 4: Betrayal

Aeri's POV

It had been a few days later. I decided to walk to school today to get my morning exercise. To be honest, it was to release stress. Ever since Yoonji announced her relationship with Taehyung, I haven't been doing well. I've been lacking in whatever I do.

Anyway, I finally made it to school. As I walked through the hallway, I felt a painful grip on my arm. I turned around, finding out it was Yoonji who gripped onto my arm tightly. Suddenly, she raised her other hand and slapped me across the face. The slap was so powerful it brought me down to the ground. Where she slapped me had stung badly. I held my hand to my cheek and looked up at her, questions popping up in my mind to why she had slapped me.

Students around us started to look at us.

I stuttered, "W-why?" That was all I could say as I was speechless.

"You!" Yoonji pointed at me. "You bitch!" She pulled out what seemed like a snake from her bag. I screamed at the sight of it. She hollered at me, "What is this? One of your pranks!?"

Fumes of confusion circled around me. "What are you talking about?"

"Stop with your acting! I know you did it!" Yoonji shot at me with her powerful angry voice.

"W-what did I do to you?" My voice became weak.

"Come on, Aeri-ah! You know what you did. Oh, so you want me to tell everyone right here right now what you've done to me. Sure!" I still didn't understand a thing of what she was talking about. She continued, pointing her finger down at me, "You put this snake in my locker! You bitch!"

I opened my mouth in disappointment and shame. "You think that I did that?"

"I just don't 'think', I know you did it!" she corrected me. "This snake bit me! Are you happy now!?"

My jaw was hanging open as I looked at her in disbelief. "Ok. . . First of all, I didn't do it-"

"Liar!" Yoonji exclaimed.

"AND!" The anger inside of me was building up, "Why would you think it was me!?"

Yoonji answered right away like she had scripted this whole thing in the beginning or something, "Because you were jealous of me! You were jealous of me and Taehyung."

My eyes started to get watery. "W-what?"

"Stop with your lies, Aeri-ah. As my best friend, how could you do this to me?" I looked at her in disbelief. She continued to throw trashy words out of her mouth at me, "Can't you at least be happy for me? I'm your friend, Aeri-ah!"

"And I thought you were my friend." I broke it out at her.

"You thought that this could make me break up with Taehyung? I don't think so."

I clenched my fists.

"You're just a desperate little girl. You went too far in doing this to me, Aeri-ah!"

I clenched my fists even tighter.

"What kind of friend are you anyway? An envious friend?" Yoonji chuckled to herself.

And that was when I got up from the ground and slapped her across the face. It was definitely something she didn't expect from me. "I'm the one who should be asking you, 'what kind of friend are you to me? I think you're the one who was envious of me!"

Yoonji held her hand against her cheek then turned her attention to me. "Did you just slap me?"

I slapped her again on the other side of the face. "What does it look like I'm doing!?" I nudged her by the chest with a finger every second as I talked, "Friends don't blame each other. Friends don't slap each other. And friends. . . don't betray one another." The anger inside of me just leveled up every time I talked.
