Scourge ✝

Chapter 32 ✝

What is happening to me?

*HYE JIN'S POV*

Taehyung turned around to look at me, as if he had gained some courage to finally talk.

He took a deep breath and said. "Hye jin. I---" just then, his phone rang.

"The fuck you want jimin?" taehyung was pissed off because jimin ruined (cough cough) our moment.

"I'm home, where are you?" jimin asked.

"Rooftop, coming now." taehyung replied and hung up on him. He looked at me and i awkwardly tugged my hair behind my ear looking around.

Taehyung cleared his throat, "Shall we go?" he asked and i nodded, not making eye contact and started walking in front of him.

We made our way inside the apartment and all four of them eyed us suspiciously. "Where did you both go?" jin asked raising an eyebrow.

"We were on the rooftop, discussing something." taehyung said as we sat down.

I made sure to sit away from taehyung this time and not beside him.

Taehyung was sitting beside jimin and jimin was continuously poking taehyung's arm and was pointing at himself.

"Fuck off jimin." Taehyung growled but looked at his puppy eyes and said. "Okay guys this is jimin, my best friend." he looked at jimin "Happy now?" taehyung asked and jimin nodded.

Taehyung was very much behaving like yoongi but i figured its nothing serious. Hani and jin greeted jimin. And the one jimin was waiting for very eagerly, that is Chaerin, didn't bother to look away from her phone.

"Who is she?" jimin whisper asked me. "Ah. This is our friend, chaerin." jimin offered a handshake but chaerin just said hi.

Jimin silently took his hand back. Aw. Mochi.

I looked at taehyung and immediately looked away, he did the same. Great. Now everything's so awkward.

I signalled jin to come with me, and moved towards the kitchen, with him following behind.

"Jin, for us to be able to talk about going to busan, we'll have to send jimin and hani away. How should we do that?"

Jin took a moment to think of something then called taehyung in the kitchen. "Taehyung, can you send jimin somewhere?"

"Yeah i can send him to buy food." taehyung said.

"What about hani?" taehyung asked.

"I have an idea." i said and we all walked back to the living room. Taehyung sent jimin to buy food and he happily agreed on doing so.

It was my time to speak.

"Oh hani, yoongi said he would call you right? Why didnt he call you yet though? It's been more than thirty minutes. You should check on him" i said and hani immediately got up and went inside the room, locking it behind her.

"That was a great idea hye jin." jin said and i flipped my hair.

"Okay so guys. We have go to busan to figure this out." taehyung said.

"But we need a story to tell hani, yoongi, and jimin. Plus, we cant leave hani here. She will definitely ask why are we going back to busan especially because now yoongi is here." i said.

"She knows about your mom's murder right. We can tell her we're going to inspect the place. Since taehyung is not the murderer, chances are high enough that whoever killed your mom is in busan. So we're going to busan. Seems pretty convincing right?" chaerin asked.

"Yeah, she does. But what about yoongi, will she not insist on staying here because of yoongi? " jin said.

"I don't think she will take my mom's murder lightly enough to choose her love over my revenge. She will agree to leave but we can tell her we'll come back since the three of you live here anyway." i said and they agreed.

"But jimin and yoongi still have no idea about your mom's death or anything related to it. What are we going to tell them?" chaerin asked and all of us fell silent.

What can we tell them?

"Do you have any relatives in busan?" jin asked turning his head in my direction "Yes, my aunt lives there" i replied.

"Perfect, we can tell them your aunt is sick and you have to go back to take care of her. They dont know much about chaerin so we can tell them just like hani, chaerin came with you so she is going back with you. And as for me, i can tell them I'm going there for business issues." jin said and that too, seemed convincing.

"Did you by any chance forget that i exist?" taehyung suddenly asked and we all looked at him. "Oh taehyung" we all said in unison and he scoffed.

"Y'all literally forgot about me. Wow"
Taehyung said.

"Just tell them you didn't go out of the city for a very long time so you're going with your childhood friend, back to your old place." chaerin suggested.

"what are you guys talking about?" hani came out of the room and we had no idea, how much of our conversation she's heard.

"Ah, hani. We're going back to busan." i said and she dropped her phone on the floor.

"Ah whyyyyyy?" she whined. I pulled her inside the room and explained her what we planned originally. She agreed to go back and i also told her what she should be telling yoongi about us going back.

Jimin came back home and saw us all sitting in a circle. " Are you guys  using ouija board?" jimin asked and we turned around to look at him.

"No, jimin. We're planning to go to busan tomorrow." taehyung explained.

"Why?" jimin asked and we told him the reasons we came up with.

"Okay book my ticket too, I'm coming with y'all. " he said and our eyes widened.

"NO!" all of us screamed at him and he looked at us in horror. "What's so wrong about me coming with you? I haven't been to busan and i want to go. Now that tae is going, I'll just go with him." jimin explained.

His point is right but little did he know, we were going there to fight witches.

"Guys, i told yoongi about it and.... He said he wants to come too." hani spoke and we all face palmed ourselves.

"Yay that's great, we can have a great trip. Right chaerin?" jimin asked and chaerin gave him a pissed look.

Taehyung and i looked at each other and mouthed

"We're dead."
