Can I help you?

Chapter 27

Sarah walks on the streets. She hits the clubs almost every weekend now, flirts with lots of guys, but isn't feeling whole at all. She is just trying to hope for something. Something to keep her mind off Jin and Jhope. They are following her. First she buys some soju in the conbini. She drinks it in an alley. After that she moves back to the conbini and throws the bottle away like a proper citizen. She walks to a club and enters. Jhope and Jin enter too. Sarah is seen grinding on the dancefloor and moving her body in lustful ways, making Jin and Jhope thirsty for her. There is a guy who comes up to Sarah and she grinds him and lets her finger slide his jaw. Jin and Jhope are upset and are dying to intervene but don't. What is she trying to do? Why is she doing this? She has me, I told her I'm okay with her just being a FwB. Why is she hunting other men?

Sarah looks at the hot guy in front of her and sways her hips against him. He smiles and has his hands on her swaying hips. He whispers in her ear "Do you wanna go somewhere more quiet?" She smiles and laughs at the guy. She doesn't answer. They always say that, and do that, and then they just dump you. If I wanted sex, I can get it from Hoseok, but I want to have a boyfriend. She dances away from him. He keeps buying her drinks. After 2 am, when the most hookups are done and the hottest guys left, she decided to call it quits too and walks on the streets. She opens her arms and takes in all of Seoul. "I love you Seoul. I hate you Seoul" She sings from RM's mono album. Jin and Jhope are so confused about her. Suddenly there are a bunch of guys around her. One of them is the guy from the club. Jin and Jhope want to jump in to protect her, but are too scared. "We gotta do something." "I know, but are you going to go against a gang of guys?" "I would but I can't. We are superstars you know." They keep arguing. In meantime Sarah is surrounded by them. She laughs. "Look at all the attention you are giving me. You? How about you?" She is pointing at some random guys. "You just want to have ride on this?" And she does a badass move pointing her hands to her body. "A taste? I am not afraid of you guys. So who is first? You?" She walks towards a guy and gropes his groin. He moans in pain. "Or you?" and she goes to the next one, pulling his head close and kisses him but he suddenly screams out. "Ever had sex with a psycho before?" She laughs. I am so scared... I better bluff as I always do... They move away from her and she spits out blood. Takes a tissue and wipes her mouth. "Now you ruined my lipstick. You wanna buy me a new one? Give me about 500000 won and I'll call it even." "Dude, this bitch is crazy. She isn't even drunk. Not worth it." They all run.

Jin and Jhope can't believe what just happened. Sarah takes out her mirror and fixes her makeup. She smacks her lips and pulls an ugly face. She spits out again. "Dirty blood." She walks on and finds a bench to sit on. She looks up and swings her feet. "Another wasted night." She laughs and then looks down. "Hey, do you want to be my boyfriend?!" She shouts at a random stranger on the street. "Of course not..." She gets up. "Maybe I should just give up." She goes to a conbini and buys a bottle of water. She drinks it at once. She feels a presence. Or rather 2. The moment she was in the conbini she saw them stumbling around. She smirks. What are they doing here? She throws her empty bottle away in the trashcan and walks along a dark alley. She walks quicker and turns a corner. She waits. The moment they pass her, they are looking around. "Where did she go?" "Did we lose her?" "Are you guys lost?" Sarah smirks and takes a step out of the shadow. "Sarah! Eh. Eh" They are just standing there. "Why did you follow me? Hoseok? Jin? If you wanted to go out with me just ask. I'll gladly take you out with me. I love partying! Woohoo!" She spreads her arms and laughs loudly. "Sarah, I-"Jhope starts but Sarah shakes her head. "You should not be out at this time. If press or sasaengs find yo-" "Then we know you can fight them off. That was an amazing thing you did there." Jin is not that intimidated by her and hasn't lost his tongue. He steps closer and holds her chin, coming really close. He rubs his thumb on her lips. Her eyes are glaring at him. He smiles and takes his hand back, he looks at his thumb. "Your makeup wasn't ruined, I'd say. Look." He shows his thumb and it is clean. "What are you trying to proof, Sarah?" Jin asks. "Why do you guys want to know? Just leave me alone. I want to be alone now." She just walks away, semi crying at the fact they saw her behaviour. They look at her back and decide this is not the end. Jin grabs her hand. "Let's go home together. I'm scared." Sarah sighs. Cute move, Jin.... "Guess I have no choice then. Let's go home." Jin is holding her hand and Jhope sees it. Did I miss my window? This way I can never win her heart....

They come home, and no one is up. Sarah looks at the couch, where Jin took her, that night. She takes off her shoes. Jhope and Jin are also undressing. They are silent, not sure what to do or say. Sarah just goes straight up after giving them a kiss on their cheek. "Night boys." And she runs up the stairs. Jhope and Jin are just still in shock. Jin is lowkey digging this new side of Sarah he saw. Jhope needs some time to process the evening. Sarah is in her room, quiet. She dresses in her silken, short nightgown, takes off her makeup. Somehow the room feels stuffy. She gets out and walks down to the balcony. She breaths in the fresh air. Her curls softly bounce up in the night breeze. It must already be around 4am now. She leans on her elbows on the edge and gazes over the city. "Can't sleep?" She releases a small shout. She turns around and sees Jin. Jin comes closer and places his hands on the edges of the balcony, locking her in his arms this way. He leans towards her. "Should I sing you a lullaby. Awake probably won't do the trick, no?" He grins "W-why aren't you asleep yet?" "And miss a beauty like you here, all by herself? Or are you going to grab my groin or bite my lip too?" Sarah suddenly flushes. Shoot, why did they have to see that? I am so embarrassed. I went to the club to pick up a guy, and then I made a complete fool of myself. She tries to calm herself down and looks up to Jin's beautiful face.
