If Only I Was A Little Braver | Park Jimin

제 18 장

when it gets dark, I get a little brighter.

...

"you've got to be kidding me." I tried to pull my arms out of their tight grip.

"let go of her." jimin intensely stared at his opposite party.

the boy just smirked, "says the one who should be doing so."

I felt a sting in one of my arms and realised how much jimin had been digging his fingers into my flesh.

"j-jimin." I stared at his face, maybe it was normal to see him so mad, he looked more bitter and annoyed.

to admit, I am too.

at least I am now.

gritting my teeth, I gave up on straining under their grip.

as if they had finally realised how hard their were gripping onto my arm since I literally sulked and sighed like super loudly, their eyes widened and holds just got tighter.

that's it.

they need to know I'm not a toy.

"yo bitches." I looked at them back and forth.

they tilted their heads while sohye and hoseok stared at me.

I sighed, man, this is not the situation I expected myself to be saying this.

"look, I understand you people are really good fight-" then a palm was over my mouth.

"shut up jae! don't! you'll ruin everything!" sohye glared at me.

"no, I'll not. they are the ones treating me like a toy. and in my defense, my arms are already white." I glared back at her.

suddenly, they let go of my arms, scratching their heads.

"but you better not-"

I cut her off.

"sohye!" I blurted out.

the three boys just stared at us in confusion.

"we have to tell them sooner or later. plus, if he really likes you and want to be with you, vice versa, nothing much would change. in fact, I wonder if he is just playing with you because he never told you anything." I looked at hoseok with those eyes only I myself can understand.

he frowned, offended.

but jae was unaffected.

it was as if a sudden trail of energy, courage and confidence just surged through her and she was suddenly so damn done with everything.

"jae..." sohye looked at her best friend with pleading eyes, practically desperate.

"sohye, if we don't say it, would you guys go on dates knowing that maybe later at night his hand won't belong to you because it's for blood?" jae whispered to her softly.

sohye looked down. maybe she was right.

she didn't acknowledge anything, but she knew how pathetic they both were in this situation.

jae knew she was selfish, even trying to break a couple that has just gotten together, but she loved her best friend, more than anything.

sohye was always there for her.

it was no longer about jimin or taehyung.

the sole fact that sohye might be dating a murderer was enough.
