Cold Hearted

Chapter 14

Jimin's POV

Now I know who's Choi Insu's gem is... Why am I still here?

Is it because...
I still love her?

My thoughts were interrupted by a figure in front of me.
I looked up and saw Taehyung?

"What do-
Before I can finish my sentence I found myself laying on the floor.
D-did he just punch me?!

I looked up only to be seeing him glaring at me with fire in his eyes.
"Follow me." He said sternly.

Even thought he's younger than me his voice was filled with dominance and... Danger.
I followed him from behind while massaging my now sore cheek.

=[

We sat on the bench that's outside the school yard.
"Who are you exactly Park Jimin?" He asked me while he's stared straight ahead.
I knew what he meant. He was there when I avoided Hyosoon this morning.

I sighed and thought that keeping this is already pointless.
"Park Jimin. 20 y/o. Son of a gang leader, mission is to kill Choi Insu's daughter..."

*chuckle*
I looked at Taehyung and saw him smiling at me.

"W-why are you smiling?"
"Because you were not the only one."
I looked at him confused.

"Wha-
"They were many of them. Since 4th grade they were tracking her, knowing everywhere she goes. Because she is the wicked Choi Insu's daughter and only family."

I looked at him and sign him to continue.

"And since then I was the only one who knew. Well seeing the love of your life being in danger for more than 6 years, I will do anything to protect her."

Love of my life...

"Y-you like Hyosoon?" I asked with a slight trembling voice.

"Hwayoung. It's Hwayoung." He emphasised her name.
"And yes. I do like her, no I love her with all my heart."

I looked down at the ground.
"You know an innocent girl like her living in this cruel world is hard to believe."

"What do you mean?"

Taehyung told me everything. From why she changed her name, from all the things that her father has kept hiding from her.
"Why are you even telling me this? Knowing that I need to kill her?"

He looked straight ahead and smiled.
"Because you were the first one to look at Hwayoung with love."

"S-so... Am I really allowed
To love her?" I looked at Taehyung with hopes eyes.

"That's your choice. But if your not gonna fix it right now.

He got up and started taking a few steps but halted and looked over at his shoulder,

I might end up stealing her away from you." And gave me a cheeky smile.

=^

I opened the rooftop door and the strong wind breeze welcomed me.
It amazes me how other students doesn't go here, and only me and Hyosoon are the only ones.

I halted for a second and closed my eyes. You need to stop calling her Hyosoon, Jimin.
I scolded myself but I soon opened my eyes when I heard faint sobs.

I looked around.
I saw a figure sitting down at the corner with her legs on her chest and her head resting on her arms.

Hyosoon...

I quietly made my way towards her and sat down in front of her.
Still not knowing my presence I faked cough which got her attention. She slowly lifted her head and stared at me with her red eyes.
Aish, you're crying again..

"Didn't I told you stop crying? You're not 5 anymore." I said with a small smile.

She sniffed cutely and looked down at the ground.
"Hyosoon, look at me."

She shook her head and kept her head low. I sighed knowing my statement will be the only thing that'll work.

"Hwayoung, please look at me."
