jimin's pov
i messed up. i can't talk to her properly. she just confessed to me formally and i messed it all up. i'm so dumb.
what should i do now? i have no one to help me.
i went home and saw my parents inside. they were playing with yera.
"why are you here?" they looked at me.
"we've decided to live with you now. i don't want to see my children living alone without any parents." mom spoke.
i laughed bitterly. this is complete bullshit.
"why are you acting like a real parent now? you never cared for us except for the money you give us. but a motherly love? fuck that, we don't need that. once i finish my studies, you can stop supporting us. i can raise my sister on my own."
"jimin, don't talk to your mother like that." my so-called dad said.
"i'm sorry, jimin, okay? i want to fix our family. we want to be your parents again. i'm sorry for making you feel all alone and handle the pain all by yourself. we're very sorry..." mom started crying. i tried my very best to hold back, but seeing my sister cry too made me burst out into tears.
"please jimin, let's fix this family. we're not asking you to forgive us easily, just let us be a good parents this time." dad added, carrying yera and making her calm.
"just for my sister." i said eagerly before going to my room, locking myself up.
everything's still a mess. i'm still a mess.
it took me hours before being calm. i grabbed my laptop and checked my social media account, i tried looking for eunjung's profile. she has many friends commenting on her photos
she's really pretty. i thought.
Kim Seokjin: You can't reach my level.
Jung Hoseok: ugly cousin.
Lee Jihye: this girl is on fireeeee o:<
those were just some of the comments. a light bulb popped out of my head. lee jihye is her best friend, right? i clicked her profile and immediately sent her a message.
Park Jimin: hey.
Lee Jihye: oh y is da silent boi messaging me?? jk lol
Park Jimin: can i ask for your help?
Lee Jihye: what help?
Park Jimin: i did something really bad to eunjung today. i thought maybe you could help me to fix it?
Lee Jihye: i alrdy knoe what u did. she told me. yknow that was really rude to left her suddenly after she confessed. but eniwayz, how can i help u tho???
Park Jimin: i know i fucked up. but i'm planning to set her up in a surprise date, maybe? but i just don't know how.
Lee Jihye: my dad works at a hotel, take her there. i'll get you a pass.
Park Jimin: what? no. not that kind of date. i ain't fucking her.
Lee Jihye: WTF R U SAYIN???? I JUST SAID TAKE HER THERE. I COULD LEAVE THE ROOFTOP OPEN EXCLUSIVELY FOR U GUYS THEN ASK HER OUT.
Park Jimin: oh okay, i get it. hehe. help me out okay.
Lee Jihye: im alrdy helping u btch
and with that, i talked to her and planned it well.
days after, i went out to prepare the things i need for the surprise. jihye told me it should be something nice. i'm currently on my way to order some firecrackers and lanterns. before even going into the shop, i saw taehyung outside, smoking his cigarette.
"oh hey, bud." taehyung laughs, greeting me.
i don't know what to say so i just ignored him, but before i could even enter the shop,
"don't you want me to be your friend again?" i don't know if i really heard the sadness from his words.
"what are you saying, taehyung?"
"i miss being your buddy. i understand now how you felt before. i bullied the girl you like. it must've hurt so much. can we be just friends again?" i saw a teardrop rolling on his face.
i smacked his head with my fist. "fuck you. i missed you too." he then pulled me for a tight hug. "you're losing your coolness so don't cry, dummy." i said, patting his back
he then throws his cigarette away, "what are you up to anyway?" he clings his arm around my shoulder.
"i'm gonna buy some materials for my surprise."
"woah, do you have a girlfriend now?"
he ruffles my hair excitingly.
"ah no, i'm just planning to confess but i did something wrong to her last time so i'm gonna fix it by surprising her."
"what's the plan then?"
i told him the plan and he said he'll join the surprise.
***
it's the day of surprise. we're now at the rooftop, waiting for jihye's signal. jihye invited some of eunjung's friends from the other class, my friend taehyung, and also her cousin, hoseok.
"try to hurt her again, i'll throw you from this building." hoseok suddenly said.
"i won't. i'm sorry to you too."
"that's alright."
as soon as we got jihye's signal that they're almost near the rooftop, we got ourselves prepared somewhere hidden.
i hope this would go well.
