Shortly after our kiss Fauna walked in.
"I went to the mall a few blocks away and bought you some more clothes. The ones from your bag are in the wash, and the new ones are in here."
She lifted up the bag and set it on the bed.
"Thanks."
I got up and slipped on the clothes infront of Jimin and Fauna.
I didn't really care if he saw me in my underwear because things were different with us now, and it happened in the blink of an eye.
Fauna left the two of us alone as we laid on the bed, In each other's arms as he stroked my hair.
"I warned you, remember." Jimin said, breaking the silence.
"What do you mean?"
"Remember? At Exo's house I said you were my girlfriend because otherwise what happened with Jr. Would have happened to you with one of them there. That's why you should have said I was your boyfriend. Gangs, they respect their home boy's relationships and their girls, but once a single girl walks in they go nuts. So from now on say I'm your boyfriend, okay?"
"Okay." I whispered as I snuggled deeper into his chest.
"But you know, it wouldn't have happened if you would have been with me."
He looked at me and chuckled.
"Yeah well I'm not the one who walked out on their own now am I?"
"Oh yeah...whoops. Sorry about that thirsty remark I made...But I sort of had the right to walk out. I mean things did look pretty sketchy... Speaking of which... Why'd they send her there anyway? AND why didn't you tell Gdragon and T.O.P about me?!"
"We'll first of all I didn't tell them about you because I didn't want to take any chances of something happening to you. And since I didn't say anything about you, and I was a single guy in the city so they sent a girl over. He does it whenever any of the guys are alone in the city. Even your brother."
"Ok, nasty.....so have you ever-"
"Nope, one of the only 2 guys in the gang to still possess his V card. The other one being...well...V....so that whole realm of stuff is just a distant dream that he never reached."
We heard gunshots from the hallway interrupting us.
"Mallorie, stay here."
Jimin quickly got up and ran out of the room, and I unobediantly followed him.
We ran through The halls until we found Gdragon and Fauna standing over the couch where TOP was lying.
They were brandishing him up and cleaning out a wound in his chest.
"What happened?!" I asked.
Fauna looked up at us.
"TOP...he went outside to talk to some guy who was trying to break a window in the front yard, and well...he got shot. we think the man was a distraction so a sniper could get a target on him."
"Is he going to be okay?" Jimin asked.
Fauna looked down at the ground and responded "He's in a rough condition. The bullet just missed a major arterie, but it still knicked it a bit. Only time will tell us for sure.
-------
Many people came in and out that day bringing stuff for TOP or visiting him, along with regulars that have appointments with Gdragon, and other gang members. The only ones that were there the whole time were Fauna, Jimin, and me.
--------------
TOP died at 4:54 Am due to internal bleeding and artery damage.
Fauna could not stop crying and I never left Jimin's side. I sat on his lap in a chair, and cuddled into his chest as tears ran down my face. I didn't really know TOP, but I hated death so that is what pushed me over the edge. After a while we all just sat there in the living room, watching his body until Mark came into the room. He and Jackson had come to pay their respects. and Mark had just spent the last hour on the roof.
"Hey guys," He said. "Come see this."
Fauna, Jimin and I followed him down a hallway that led to a room with a staircase up to the roof.
once on the room we all looked out over the city. It really was pretty in an industrial, rugged way. But the city wasnt the point of the view.
The sun was just starting to peek over the horizon, filling the sky with hues of gold, orange, and burgandy. It was beautiful. The light shone down on the city, covering the buildings in a light blanket of sunlight.
Then all of a sudden a dove for up from a nearby building and flew in a swirl up into the sky and disappeared. Another did the same, then another, and another, Until a huge flock of gorgeous, white doves flocked up, into the sky and simultaneously disappeared just like magic.
It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. It showed us that beautiful things can happen on a bad day, and bad things can come from a bad situation.
There are hidden beauties in the bad things in life. You just have to find them.
