One Month |《BTS JIMIN》

Chapter 26

Adiata watched the unsuspecting Jimin and Austelle walk hand in hand together around the park as she tailed them secretly from behind.

Oh, all the horrible methods she could think of to get revenge on Austelle.

They strolled around the park for half an hour before stopping beside a pond where a cotton candy vendor was.

Austelle secretly took a photo of them together on her phone, and posted it on her social media profile:

"God, what a b*tch! I can't believe this girl had the guts to seduce my boyfriend. He even just confessed to me last week, and we've been going out since then! Thank goodness a friend of mine who was there took a picture and sent it to me. Or else, I wouldn't know that someone like her was trying to steal Jimin away from me!"

Adiata smirked as she saw her huge fanbase from school start to critisise Austelle. Let's see who gets the last laugh!

Adiata continued to keep track of the couple, and saw another chance for her to make Austelle pay.

Jimin had gone to buy some cotton candy for him and Austelle from the cotton candy vendor, leaving Austelle standing by herself beside the pond.

Austelle's P.O.V.

Jimin and I just stopped by the pond to look at some ducklings, and he went to buy some cotton candy for the both of us from a vendor a few metres away from where we were. I wanted to watch the ducklings longer, and decided to just wait for him.

I stared aimlessly at the ducklings as images of the past month reappeared amidst my memories.

Its hard to think that after today and tomorrow, I would be leaving Korea and this school already. I'd probably never be able to come back here due to financial issues that had been rising at home.

I thought back to the first day I met Jimin - his pink hair, sweet face and kind actions. Taehyung and Jungkook - how they were both so good to me, treating me well as a real friend when no one else did.

My gaze dropped to the reflection of myself in the water as I realised how much I would miss them, and how hard it would be for me to erase them from my memories.

Chills crawled down my spine as I got an ominous feeling. Suddenly, Adiata's face appeared behind mine in the water's reflection.

I turned around with shock and anger evident on my face.

"What are you-" Before I could finish my sentence, Adiata gave me a hard shove.

"You deserved this." She spat at me, her face twisted and plastered with a sickening smile, before running away.

A scream caught in the back of my throat as I helplessly fell backwards into the pond, my arms flailing desperately to grab onto something. Unfortunately, I was only catching air as I hit the pond hard causing a loud splash. The impact took the breath out of my lungs.

I had fallen in at the edge of the pond, which was relatively shallow at only one metre, but the force at which Adiata pushed me paired with the weight of my body caused a higher velocity that pushed me close to the center of the pond that was about three meters deep.

Fear consumed me as I started to sink. I don't know how to swim.

I had been scared of the water since young, hence I never got the courage to learn how to swim. Even the thought of being at sea on a boat triggers my phobia.

I was stupid and foolish, thinking that nothing would happen to me as long as Jimin was near me, and that I was totally safe. Instead of giving me more security, Jimin's presence around me attracted more attention and hostility. I should have known.

It did not help that I did not know how to swim, and instead of propelling myself forward, I was pushing myself closer and closer to the center of the pond.

Most of my breath had been taken out of me when I hit the water with that  force. Mustering up the last of my breath, I called for help as loud as I could and caught a glimsp of Jimin running towards the pond before I went under.

Water entered my lungs as my instincts kicked in and I desperately gasped for oxygen.

Everything became numb. My vision became hazy and my thoughts were draining into a void of emptyness. I gradually lost all hearing and feeling from the lack of air as I hit the bottom. 

The last thing I remembered seeing underneath the murky and dark water as I slowly lost conscious was a hand reaching out and pulling on my arm. 

Then, everything went dark.
