Blind || BTS Jungkook

Chapter 5: Monsters Hollering

Aeri's POV

I walked down the streets of a familiar neighborhood while looking down at my shoes, kicking little rocks to let out my anger. Yeah. I know. I shouldn't be ditching school like this but what choice did I have when I was pissed off.

I didn't even have the guts to say the words that I wanted to say to Yoonji. Instead, Somin was the one who stood up for me. She's a girl with guts. I swear I'm usually an aggressive girl just like her, but something happened to me at the moment. When Taehyung told me to apologize, I did as he said. And right now, I felt ashamed as it made me feel like I was the actual loser. Why did I do as he said? How did I become that easy of a person?

I came across a bench and sat down. I raised my head facing the sky and closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. It was a nice feeling to be out here. Now that I think about it, I have never been out like this before. This was the feeling of freedom. Real freedom. If I were to be at home, it's more like being trapped because my dad hires guards that would be around us all the time at home. It's annoying as I don't have a normal life like others do at home. Being far away from home was always the best for me. This feeling of freedom was refreshing.

But as I closed my eyes, images of Yoonji and Taehyung flashed in my mind. The incident from this morning was projected in my mind like a video.

In my mind, I could see the image of myself kneeling down before Yoonji. The word 'Apologize' said by Taehyung was stuck in my head as well. Just why? Why why why did I apologize to her when I did nothing wrong? That isn't fair!

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, letting out my anger. The people walking around must've thought weird of me as I continued to scream like I was a psychotic girl. Then I shouted out words as if I was saying it to Taehyung and Yoonji, "Yoonji-ah!!! Taehyung-ah!!! You DISGUSTING serpents!!! Traitors!!! It's NOT FAIR for MEEEE!!!" I took large breaths and then suddenly-

I heard a soft chuckle from somewhere. I looked around to see who it was. But, I saw nobody who seemed to be looking at me or talking to me. I kept quiet for a little while waiting to see if that somebody will talk to me again.

"Go on, you can keep on cursing about those people that you were talking about uhh. . .Taehyung and Yoonji. I don't mind," a man said from the bench beside me.

I turned my head facing his direction. From the look of his figure, he seemed to be the same age as me.

"Ne?" I questioned.

"Um. . . you can go on and curse about those people that you were talking about just now. I don't mind," he said, softly chuckling after.

It was strange. What I noticed was. . . he wasn't looking at me. Instead, he was looking at the view in front of him. Or more like. . . he was looking at nothing.

I scratched my head. Then, I looked at him again.

He had on a pair of sunglasses and held a white cane in his hand. I thought to myself for a while and finally realized his problem. He was. . . blind?

Haven't I met someone like this before?

"So. . . what did they do to you?" he suddenly spoke to me.

My eyes fluttered in confusion. "Ne?"

"Those people. Uh. . . 'Taehyung and Yoonji' I believe are the names you said earlier."

I was flustered for a moment. I began to stutter, "Oh. Yeah. Uh. . ."

"The disgusting serpents," he recalled what I said and softly chuckled. "They must've done no good to you."
