♛Chptr. 2: The Poor Boy♛

====================

"A beautiful beggar... that's what he is."

Jimin's POV

I got out of the tub, still in a faze. I patted my body dry with my towel and wore my new set of clothes. I then walked to the mirror, my hand wiping away the fog that covers it as I stared at myself. I sighed in worry, shutting my eyes in the process and pinching the bridge of my nose... 

"Gosh, why am I so pretty? I'll get arrested for breaking someone's heart by just staring." I tsked as I looked at myself once again, tilting my head on different angles to take note of my best profile. I brushed my hand over my hair and smiled with contentment.

"Aigoo... what a pretty human being--"

"PARK JIMIN!!!" My eyes widened as I knew very well who the owner of that voice is. I sighed for another reason, this time because of the actual stress.

Should I pretend that I'm not here? Maybe I shouldn't respond and she would be gone--

"PARK JIMIN, I NEED YOUR RENT FOR THE MONTH! I SWEAR IF YOU ARE HIDING THERE I AM GOING TO BURN YOUR PLACE DOWN!" I shut my eyes, this time for a different reason as well. 

I am so doomed. Hiding here and pretending to be away wouldn't be a nice idea after all.

I breathed in and out as I walked towards my room to get my box but when I opened the lid where all of my money should be... I could only gulp. I forgot I already spent all of it and I have nothing as of the moment.

I closed the lid of my box and composed myself, walking towards the door where the monster stands. I think I might need another award-winning act.

Before I twisted the doorknob I made sure to put on a distorted expression. And then the door opened.

"A-Auntie? Is th-that... you? Or am I... seeing an angel now?" I am holding onto my stomach like I was in deep pain and I looked like I almost limped just to reach for the door. I saw how her face softens. 

Yes! It's working!

"Awwe, what happened to you my poor Jiminie? Is your stomach hurting?" She asked concerned and I continued my act with a pout this time.

"I was starving, Auntie... I don't h-have any money to buy s-something..." I grunted to add more feelings to it. "I've been h-having nothing but w-water..." I ended with another groan, clutching onto my stomach as I bent my body but my eyes slightly peeping on what her reactions might be... or what she'll say.

"Oh, is that so?" I looked up a little... and then her gaze suddenly change, it darkens. I gulped.

Uh-Oh.

"AND YOU THINK I WOULD CARE?! STAND STRAIGHT AND STOP YOUR ACT OR I'LL RAISE YOUR RENT FOR THE MONTH!" I hurriedly stand straight, clearing my throat as I placed my hands in front, bowing down into a 90-degree form.

"I apologize, Auntie... I won't do it again and I'll make sure to pay immediately so--"

"I am tired of hearing this Jimin! I am kind enough to you for the past months but this is too much! I need your pay for the month this week or else you'll be sleeping in the street!" I shot my head up and my eyes began to plead.

"B-But... Auntie, this is the cheapest apartment that I could afford... You can't kick me out!" I held onto her hand to please her but she only snatched her hand away with a sigh.
