Here...my crackhead self in all its glory.


Despite the peculiar pronunciation, the depth this word holds is vast. Querencia practically means either a place or a person that you gain safety from. A place where you draw your strength from, a person that protects you in its embrace. And believe me [author has some experience], if you ever find something or someone like this, don't ever let it go.

Jimin was alert.

After the news he had found out and the incredibly stressful phone call, he just expected his boyfriend and his gang to appear any moment now. Thankful for Jisung's naivety, he sat next to Ari who was silently crying.

''My brother is a swindler'' she stated. ''All he ever cared for was money and power. How to bring others down so he can rise up''.

''Some people tend to be  like that. They just haven't learnt to love themselves the way they are, that's all'' he said in an undertone.

''He was the one who messed up the brakes. He is older than me so all of my parents' property would go to him if our older brother died. He told me he just wanted to scare him but the collision with the car that Mr. Jeon was driving him proved to be fatal. Our parents moved out and I -unfortunately- decided to stay with my brother here. Jisung decided to frame Jungkook up... and I guess you know the rest'' she explained.

''I know that I am making you feel uncomfortable with all my questions Ari but answer me this last one, okay?'' he pleaded. ''If he has money already, why would he want more and more? I mean... I can understand avarice but it's not like he was expecting Jungkook to rob a fucking bank. Poor Kook came to rob me'' he rolled his eyes receiving a giggle from the younger girl.

''He used all of our family's assets. My parents are very simple people but Jisung... He bought two houses, fancy outfits, many cars, the occasional pleasures if you know what I mean...We don't have that much left...yet you do''.

''Umm...incorrect'' Jimin interrupted her. Ari's eyes almost fell from their sockets.

''You...you don't have money?''.

''Oh I do...And it's all in the bag I gave your brother'' he sighed.

''But...But you are rich. Your parents must have a huge bank account''.

''I asked them not to write my name in it. I wanted to be independent and  it looks like I am regretting my decision now. If I had all the money he wanted,  I would have given it to him from the beginning so this whole story would have already ended long ago''.

''Are you sure your plan will work?'' she questioned.

''As long as Jeon's extra ass decides to be cautious, we have nothing to fear''.
