I again placed my card on the ticket scanner and it again showed the same words on the screen.
Please credit your card and try again.
Did my bus card lost all the balance, but didn't I travelled just last night? And credit it.. how will I credit it I don't have any money. The few notes in my bag right now is for the books that I have to buy. And the few which must be lying in my luggage is for my dorm fees, food, medicine and extra stuff. From where the hell will I credit it?! Calling my orphanage for any help is a straight no. While I was leaving the headfather asked me if I got a job for myself to carry my own expenses I said YES, I lied straight faced to him. And now I'm standing here with no money.
It might seem like it is a small problem but I know if i don't do anything now I'll have to pay the consequences very soon. I have to pay my dorm fees and what about the instalment of the student's loan some three weeks later. If I won't be able to collect money that will mean only one thing I'll have to return to the orphanage and I'm not in any mood to do so.
I've worked very hard to come out of that shell and I'm not returning at any cost.
I was only pulled out of my thoughts when I felt a sudden sense of someone's presence behind me, too close to my back and a hand stretched beside me with a bus card in hold. The tattoo on the wrist was familiar but I couldn't point where.
"Where do you wanna go Y/N?"
And I realized it was the hand of the same person who gave me towel when I fell in the pool. I tilted my head a little to find Jimin standing with a hearty smile, though he had a black eye and a small cut on his cheek.
I felt bad for him.
"Oh hey Jimin.. but why asking?" I asked eyeing his card.
"Thought you need any help." He answered with a shrug of his shoulder.
I turned around to face him fully, "Ah.. you don't need to, I think I might walk a little. "
His smile was quick to fade replaced with a stern look more like a look a mother gives her child when he disagrees on something.
"It was not an option. I asked where do you wanna go."
Sure I don't have money but I surely have courtesy to not ask for money to someone I've just met, even if they are kind enough to do so.
When I still kept my mouth sealed he took a look at the screen behind me which displayed the ticketing request and denial. He pressed his card against the screen and I saw him booking two tickets for the Students' Corner Rd., he turned around handing me one ticket while placing other in his back pocket.
"You were really kidding me when you said you'll walk to the Students' Corner right? It's more than hour or two walking."
I couldn't say a word, forget a word I couldn't meet his eyes. I was feeling embarrassed. And jimin sensed it.
