Opposites Attract

{24} This Is Not Real

'What should I do? I think I should tell him who I really am. I can't just keep him in a daze like this. He needs to know whom he likes. A killer. A murderer. Okay then. It's final. Tonight when he comes back home I'm going to tell him everything. Then what about unnie? Will she get into trouble as well?'

Half the day had passed and I was still in bed thinking about how to confront him when I got distracted by the vibration of my phone.

*ding*

2 new messages from 'Jiminie💜'.

I unlocked my phone to check what he had sent.

Jiminie💜:
Hey Areum.
Are you okay at home all by yourself?

Y/n:
No...

Jiminie💜:
What? What's wrong? 

Y/n:
Uh..it's nothing. Im fine.

[Seen]

I plopped the phone on the bed and turned to my side going into deep thoughts again.

In a few minutes, I heard a shuffling sound. Like someone was trying to pick the lock of the front door. I was scared to death.

'Is it a burgler? Or is it dad? Taehyung can't be back so early.' I had all kinds of thoughts going around in my head while I got out of bed and went towards the front door to check who it was.

The door flew open and revealed a beautiful yet worried face. It's only Jimin. I mentally facepalmed.

"Areum what's wrong?" He came towards me worried.

"How did you come in?" I asked back.

"I have spare keys. Tell me what's wrong!" He demanded for answers.

"Ahh Jimin I'm fine. I was just tired." I tried to convince him.

"You could have told me that. I wouldn't have come running like this then." He sighed in relief and giggled a little at his own words.

"Who even asked you to come running?" I said joking and we walked towards the kitchen.

"Do you want something to eat?" I asked.

"No no you should be resting right now!" Jimin held me by the shoulders and guided me towards the bedroom.

"God I swear I'm fine!" I argued.

"I know you're fine but if I don't put you in bed Taehyung will kill me." He whispered in my ear and we shared a good laugh.

"Okay then I should get going now. Take care." Jimin smiled and ruffled my hair like a kid. I returned his smile and he left.

After a long day in bed it was already night. I was wondering for so long that I didn't know when I drifted off into a sweet slumber.

When I opened my eyes I found Taehyung at his desk holding his head in one hand and writing something furiously.

"Tae?" I asked half awake.

He turned back in the speed of light. He had a sorry yet confused look on his face, his eyes red like blood. He looked completely worn out and tired. "And then he turned back towards the desk.

I got out of bed and approached him. "What's wrong?" I asked. He turned to face me again and I was taken aback. He was... crying.

"I'm so so sorry." He mumbled trying to control his tears. He wrapped his arm around my waist and rested his head on my tummy still sitting on the chair while I stood there dumbfounded.

"Tae...what's wrong?" I asked brushing his hair with my fingers trying to comfort him.

"Areum I'm extremely sorry." He kept apologising and sniffing. I began to worry. I've never seen him like this.

"Tae tell me what happened." I crouched down beside him and held his face in my palms. He kept sniffing and wiping off the tears which went out of control.

"Ar-Areum your... sister. We found her near the rive-river..." he didn't dare to continue.

This was something very hard to digest. I could not believe what I was hearing. Nope. I'm wrong. He's not trying to say what I'm actually thinking.

"Can I see her?" I asked blankly.

"The-they took her away. Her body was found in the-the river-" he choked and a new round of tears threatened to escape his eyes.

"This is not real." I tried to smile. "No,  this has to be a prank. First Nina unnie and now-" I didn't dare to complete the sentence.

"But there's something w-we found out Areum. You are in danger..."

I am currently listening to Danger so I guess you already get it hehe. Okie bye enjoy💜
