"all aboard! boat to jeju island! all board!"
it's been a tough couple of days. first, getting kidnapped by gang members. second, being trapped in the controlling as fuck votty, then third, waking up and realising that it was all fake.
yup, i'm totally good.
the van dropped us off. jimin and i waved them goodbye. jimin wasn't the guy i imagined anymore, he was back into the bully who didn't stop tormenting me.
nevertheless, my will to keep going didn't diminish. i am determined to prove to jimin that i didn't kill his parents three years ago.
we boarded onto the boat, sitting down quickly. there was really nothing to talk about between me and jimin. we had nothing in common.
"so.." i said, trying to start a conversation, "when we get to jeju, what are we gunna do?" jimin gave a simple shrug while saying, "not sure, it's your idea so you should know."
"yeah but.." i sighed, looking away from him.
most of the boat ride was quiet, there was nothing said between us. jimin was looking out the window, deep in his thoughts. i always wondered what kind of things would run through his mind.
our silence was broken when he turned to look at me, asking me, "remember when we came to jeju island..when we were younger?"
i blinked at his words, shocked as to how he remembered that. i nodded and said slowly, "and how i was too scared to play in the water..but your dad helped me?" jimin smiled softly, nodding to the beautiful memory.
his smile slowly faded away, looking at me with blank eyes. i knew what he was thinking so i said, "i didn't kill him..just let me prove it." jimin nodded, looking away with a grim expression.
i knew he was tired of not knowing the truth from all these years. i knew he wasn't truly happy ever since the incident.
i'm going to change that.
three hours later
the boat came to a stop, we were here. everyone stepped onto the land of jeju island, breathing in the fresh scent of sea salt.
"let's go," i told jimin as we walked down the street. there was a hotel at the end of the road so we would spend the night there, considering how dark it was getting.
dad hunting could wait till morning.
checking into our hotel, we quickly unpacked our things and started planning our trip. jimin sat on the chair while i sat on the bed.
jimin started, "so, we need to find your dad who's apparently staying here. then we need to ask him what really happened that day."
i nodded, "we also need to find our mums. they both disappeared that day too." the male agreed, picking up his pencil and started writing our plans on the back of a hotel magazine.
i closed my eyes, trying to think of anything that could help with our investigation.
"wait..what do you think happened that day?" i asked jimin, realising how i never got his point of view. he looked at me, thinking for a minute.
"not much..i just remember seeing you and my dad. i can't remember much of anything else," he spoke, fiddling with his pencil.
i found that strange.
why can't he remember anything? surely that incident would be as clear as day for him.
i tried thinking again, there had to be something else.
"uhh..dahyun?" jimin said aloud, bringing my attention back on him. he was looking at the magazine, his expression looked confused.
"yeah?" i asked, watching as he pondered over the magazine.
there was a pause, jimin didn't say anything.
"jimin? what happened?" i asked him, starting to grow anxious by the second.
he picked up the magazine, showing me the back page. there was an image of a lady, fishing with two other kids.
"isn't..isn't that your mum..." he said, looking at me with confused yet shocked eyes.
i looked at the photo. that lady..
that lady is my mum.
oh..my..god.
