Chapter 38

3 chapters to go.________________________

Jimin's POV

"Who killed your cat?" She glared at V who seemingly made the comment regarding her appearance. Bloodshot eyes, a hunched back that was aching, a sinister frown, unruly hair and unorganised clothes.

Taehee's eyes twitched unconsciously, due to her lack of sleep, as she stopped her hand from making harsh contact with V's face that contained a smug expression.

We had just gotten back from the countryside fiasco and the two of were extremely exhausted. J-Hope had snored all night, keeping the two of us awake; I got the complimentary from him and was constantly punched at night. By the time I received my fourteenth bruise, I was finishing contemplating about whether I should sleep on the floor or not and concluded the night with sleeping in the bath tub.

Yawning loudly, I rubbed my eyes and stopped myself from collapsing on the floor and just sleeping there for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, Taehee was required to return to school despite her only returning early.

Both Jungkook and V were dressed in their uniform while Taehee and I were wearing yesterday's clothing.

Getting refreshed and changed, we left the house quickly and were able to get to school with a fair amount of time spared. People were bustling around the hallways, chattering. However when Taehee walked into the hallways with us, people silenced themselves. Stares were thrown at the four of us, some congratulated Taehee for being back so soon while others just stared.

First period came and we all split up, I walked silently side by side with Taehee. No words were passed to each other nor did we want to initiate any type of conversation. We were both drained and exhausted.

We had History class first, despite of exams coming rather sooner than later, the two of us fell asleep as soon as the teacher spoke.

My eyes fluttered open when I felt a hand nudging my shoulder lightly.

"Jimin!" The familiar voice of one of my close friends woke me up. I groaned in dissatisfaction and sat up while covering my eyes from the harsh blinding lights that was rather irritating.

Looking to my side, Taehee was still resting her head on her arms while a large book covered the sight. Peace was written across her face, making me envy her.

"Seungcheol I hope you have a great reason for waking me." I warned.

Seungcheol laughed, not taking my threat seriously. He pointed to the sleeping figure situated beside me. I raised an eyebrow at him and curved my lips down into a frown that expressed my unamused feelings.

"Is it true she really has amnesia? Because the air around her has changed. A lot."

I nodded cautiously, "damn you got it tough Jimin. Any guy can swoop in for the kill if you're not careful."

If this was some sort of way on hitting on my (ex)girlfriend then I was going to literally throw him out the window.

But then he laughed again. "But I'm sure you won't have a problem at all.She made sure you didn't get in trouble while we had class."

Furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, I was completely lost. Didn't she take a nap with me during class? If so then how did she keep me from getting scolded or punished by the teacher?

"What do you mean?"

Laughing once again, Seungcheol bent down to my level, slung his arm around my shoulder before gesturing to the sleeping figure. "She was sleeping at first but woke up in a few minutes. Every time the teacher walked pass, she would ask the teacher to explain the material at the board or by the teacher's desk to use the textbook." He grinned.

I looked stun for a moment before averting my gaze to Taehee.

Seungcheol suddenly leaned forward to stare at the bandana that was tied around Taehee's wrist. Squinting his eyes, he suddenly clasped his hands together, "one of my members have a bandana that look like that! Anyway she looks like she's about to wake up, so gotta run." She was beginning to stir into her sleep, marking the time for Seungcheol to head off with his other friends.

In a near instant, Taehee was glaring at me, "what are you staring at?"

Throwing my hands in the air, I smiled lopsidedly at her. "Don't attack me for staring at your beautiful face." I replied, making her cringe

Taehee stuck her tongue out and made gagging sounds. "That's disgusting." I stood up and stretched my arms in the air, trying not to strain my muscles that were still recovering from spending the cold night in a bath tub.

She stood up next to me and winced in pain. Clutching on her back, she cursed silently. "I should have just made you both cuddle on the couch while I took the bed." She muttered, darkly while rubbing her back in circles.

I pretended not to hear what she had said and we were soon off to meet up with everyone else in our usual classrooms to have food.

"Yah Park Jimin where are you taking me?"

"That's right! I forgot you had amnesia for a second. We're heading off to meet up with the rest of the group. We can re-introduce you to Minji."

Right as we turned the corner in the corridor, we bumped into a pair that I haven't talked to in a long time. My first initial instinct was to flee but when I pulled on to Taehee, she didn't budge from her spot.

Hani scowled, "oi just because you just got out of the hospital doesn't mean you can bump into me stupid loser."

"..."

Taehee stayed silent, her face deadpan as she stared at Hani with no particular emotion present in either her expressions or body language.

I avoided any eye contact with Jinae but I could feel her staring at me. The last time we talked was after I visited Taehee for the first time at the hospital, I had told her that we shouldn't be friends anymore.

Hani got irritated with her quietness and moved forward to grip onto Taehee's collar. I stepped in, about to stop what was going to happen but Taehee gave me a side glance and a small smirk that stopped me in my place.

"I guess you're a still a timid girl who we can pushover anytime." Hani laughed, "or was the whole hospital trip a lie and you actually went to get more cosmetic surgery?"

A subtle chuckle took everyone by surprise. Taehee smirked widely at her.

"Who are you anyway?"

"Isn't that hilarious? The dork has amnesia now." Hani leaned down to Taehee's face that stayed stoic, she pulled on the collar of Taehee's shirt. "Then let me remind you. I'm Hani and she's Jinae, we were the best of friends back then."

To my surprise, Taehee smiled gently at the both of them. "Is that so?" Hani looked confused for a brief moment.

However in that sprawl of a moment, Taehee kneed Hani in the gut and slapped her hands off her shoulders, making Hani bend over to clutch on to her stomach.

"I must have been a real wuss to not be able to stand up to you two." She mocked.

Taehee looked up at Jinae who had widened eyes. "She said you were Jinae right?" The mentioned girl nodded hesitantly. Soon enough a history text book made contact with Jinae's cheek, barely missing her nose. Jinae screamed in terror as I widened my eyes at Taehee for being so violent.

"Oh come on Jimin lighten up. You should have read all those notes that these two gave to me before I got into an accident." She laughed humourlessly.

Hani hissed, "you little —"

Taehee turned back to her and pulled onto Hani's shirt so their faces hunched up to each other. "So tell me Hani why do you hate me so much?"

"Of course I hate you! You think you're some queen just because you're Taehyung-oppa's twin and Jimin-oppa's girlfriend. Jimin-oppa wasn't suppose to date some dork like you!"

Taehee pulled her collar up closer, raising an eyebrow at her face. "So just because I'm dating your precious oppa, it's alright to bully me?" She asked, discarding any mocking tone that could have been present in her voice.

Hani pluckered her lips, flipping her hair back. "I-it's your f-fault! J-Jimin Oppa belongs to u-us." She stammered, shattering her strong image.

Jinae held her sore cheek that Taehee had just thrown a book at, staring at  me with pleading eyes. I blinked at her and shook my head disappointedly at her. She had continued to bully Taehee even before I had dated her, she lied to me.

She scoffed, "Jimin is not an object that you claim to be yours. He's a human being you moron, get that through your thick ass skull an into that tiny ass brain of yours." She pushed a lock of her hair behind her ear. "Besides have you ever thought about this? If you were the one dating Jimin wouldn't everyone hate you? Or did you expect everyone just to accept you because you're a pitiful little girl who bullies for no good reason?"

Widening her eyes, Hani opened her mouth to defend and justify her actions but was crudely stopped when Taehee shushed her, placing her finger just above Hani's lips.

"Shut up. It's my turn to talk."

Hani stayed silent, her lips trembling as she tried to look fierce but failed as her features all pointed to the obvious emotion of pure terror.

"Take a look at yourself Hani, think hard about why Jimin didn't choose to date you."

A smirk played on Taehee's lips as her point had made it to across Hani's twisted logic about the school hierarchy involving the matters of stereotypical terms such as 'Kingka' and 'Queenka'.  

"Now that you understand something, I'll give you a little bit of advice. Next time you see me you should keep your mouth zipped and shut the fuck up."

⋯☽ ⋯

For the rest of the day, I wasn't really able to talk to Taehee. Lunch break and recess was spent by Taehee's confrontations with multiple people and by the end of it I was sure Taehee no longer needed my help in not getting bullied.

Because of these confrontations, she wasn't able to meet Minji. Taehee left the classroom before me, escaping from the hoard of bustling students that wanted to go.

"Taehee!" She turned around at the sound of her name as I chased after her.

We stared at each other for a while before she continued to walk off, completely ignoring me. Baffled, I chased up to her, "don't ignore me!" I shouted as I chased after her.

That didn't make her stop at all. "Hey Taehee! Don't ignore me!" I shouted once again as I picked up my pace and caught up.

Placing my hand on her shoulder, she turned around with a nonchalant look.

"Oh. I didn't see you there." She replied curtly.

"What the... WE LITERALLY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER IN THE EYES AND STARED AT EACH OTHER." I was absolutely frustrated.

V came out of no where with Solbi by his side. The two saw the frustration in my face and were instantly amused of the situation. "What did Tsunhee do? Jimin looks like he's going to pop a vein."

Taehee rolled her eyes, "whatever Taehyung you make me sound like the villain." A glass near by us smashed to the ground, followed by a line of colourful curses.

All of a sudden, Taehee stiffened up; her eyes widened and we all stared at her worried. "What's wrongs? Did you remember something!?" I shook her shoulders vigorously. She peeled my hands off of her and shook her head.

Looking rather disappointed, all of us sighed. It was going to be difficult to get her memories back.

"Hey Taehyung?"

"Hm?"

"When are you going to replace the camera you broke with the soccer ball?"

We all froze completely. "Does that mean?" V trailed off, dropping his jaw as his mouth was completely vulnerable to any bugs.

Taehee grinned and nodded. "It's a little patchy with a few faces scratched out but I do remember you my dear 4D twin Kim Taehyung." V threw his hands around Taehee and hugged her tightly as she laughed into the hug, returning it happily.

"The Kim twins are back!" V cheered.

After a moment of pure happiness and excitement for V who was still smiling widely from ear to ear, Solbi and I wondered the exact same thing as each other. We usually weren't in sync together since, actually I'm not sure when we started disliking each other.

It just happened in the middle of no where. A despise for each other that rivalled no other relationships filled with annoyance. I sort of just thought she disliked me for no apparent reason; that was logical enough for me.

"So do you remember us?" Solbi asked, gesturing between her and me.

Without hesitation, she shook her head. "It's not like I want to remember you but I'll try my best anyway!" I chuckled at her flustering promise.

A tsundere indeed.
