Monday.

Classes were as usual, and Jimin was really really thankful to every god in the world that the hickeys on her neck were not that visible. There's only this pinkish hue that people would misunderstand as a normal pressure mark on her skin rather than something made from an intense make-out. Only on her neck tho, because there are still a lot of visible hickeys on her breast, thigh, and belly.

"How was your weekend, Jimin?", Aeri asked as she walked with the girl towards the location of their next class.

"Nothing special. I just stayed at home".

"It must be nice to have lots of rest", Aeri sighed lightly, not realizing how the other girl turned her head in the other direction. "It's actually kind of tiring to me...", Jimin laughed lightly, trying to brush off the topic. Only god knows how tired she was a few days ago.

While they were walking, suddenly someone stopped them making both Jimin and Aeri stop. When they lifted their heads up to look at who it was, they both felt awkward, because it was someone they didn't know at all.

"Hi!", he said with his smile.

"H-Hi...?", Jimin smiled awkwardly as she stepped closer to Aeri. Before they could escape the awkward situation from going on, Jaeho suddenly came running out of nowhere in their direction, putting his arm on the other guy's shoulder happily.

"Park Jaeho?", Aeri asked, "What are you doing here? Did you know each other?"

"Hi, Jimin, Aeri", he greeted them both before he continued, turning his head to the guy right next to him. "He's a friend of mine", Jaeho answered. The men beside Jaeho just smirked happily while looking at both of them, maybe.

"Hi!", the other guy greeted happily for the second time.

"I'm Yoo Sungjoon", Sungjoon reaches out his hand, trying to shake his hand with Jimin despite the awkward tension between them, but because it was an act of humanity, Jimin shakes his hand back.

"I see...", Jimin answered before Sungjoon pulled his hand off from Jimin, leaving Aeri in a slight confusion. Why did he only shake hands with Jimin?

"Me?", Aeri asked him.

"You don't need to", he simply answered innocently before he shifted his eyes again back to Jimin. Jimin's hand moved onto Aeri's arm, tightening her grip as both of them felt that weird tense he just to them.

When Sungjoon stepped closer to Jimin out of the blue, making the girl startled to death, Jimin squished herself more into her friend's figure, getting more horrified by his weird gesture. "Do you have something to tell me...?", Jimin asked, gulping a few times, remembering that if Minjeong saw this, her wife might create a massacre at the scene.

"Well... actually I had something to ask you"

"What?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?", he smirked. Jimin was startled when she heard the question but she didn't hesitate to deny it. "No".

"Then... a girlfriend?"

"N-No!", Jimin answered almost quickly, being truthful despite not being so truthful because she never have a girlfriend in her whole life. She only have a wife.

"It's good then", Sungjoon said before he stepped closer to Jimin with his happy smug. Jimin definitely hates that one, flashing her awkward smile, hands tugging at the hem of Aeri's shirt. "Can I have your phone number?", he confessed.

Jimin eyes balled by his words, exchanging glances with Aeri. Like, really? Didn't he feel ashamed at all? Isn't it obvious that Jimin trying so hard to avoid having any conversation with him right now? How couldn't he see it?

"I'm sorry, but I have to decline."

"Why?"

Gosh. This guy is so freaking annoying!

"I just... don't want to. Sorry, but we need to leave," Jimin said one last time before she tugged her arms with Aeri, pulling her friend together with her as they walked away from the scene.

When the two girls finally out of the two guy sight, they look into each other's eyes. Jaeho furrows his eyebrows confusedly, "Are you still gonna try that?", Jaeho asked, putting his hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Of course I am! A bet is a bet!", Sungjoon smirked.

Flashing the same smug on his face, Jaeho answered. "I have her number tho, if you want."

*****

Jimin and Ningning currently walked towards the bus stop they usually used to go back to their rented apartment. Jimin just silently walked with her earphones on, Ningning tugging Jimin's left arm close to her, not until suddenly, a harsh pull from the Chinese startled Jimin. Jimin stares at her friend in confusion.

"Ning?"

"I forgot! Oh my god!", Ningning exclaimed.

"Forgot what?"

"My notebook is under the table! I need my notes to answer the quiz tonight!", Ningning groaned in agony to herself before she shifted her attention to Jimin. Cat eyes pleading for Jimin to read her mind, I'm sorry but can you wait for me for a few minutes?

Despite being angry with the younger girl's carelessness, Jimin just flashed her usual warm smile with her tiny scoff. "What are you waiting for? Go get it," Jimin laughs.

"I could? I mean... You'll be alone. I am so sorry"

"I will be fine," Jimin laughs once more. "You see that convenience store?" Jimin pointed her finger to a convenience store across their campus road, metres away from the bus stop. Ningning nodded her head when she saw where Jimin was pointing.

"I will wait for you there. I'm going to have some iced americano and snacks. So don't worry about me. You can go", Jimin smiled warmly towards Ningning, somehow erasing away the guilt Ningning felt towards the older girl just now.

"Thank you, Jimin! I love you!", Ningning said happily as she held Jimin's arms tightly. Jimin rolled her eyes with the cute gesture, laughing even more.

"God, Ningning. Just go, you dork"

*****

Jimin ordered a cup of ice americano from the counter along with a stick of cheese corndog just to fill up her hungry stomach while waiting for Ningning to come. After paying, she sat in the dining area of the convenience store, slurping her coffee with the straw and took a big bite of her corndog.

The bells on the glass door rang, signalling that a customer just entered the store. Jimin didn't pay attention to the sound at all, too common for her to even pay attention to the person who just stepped inside the store, keep scrolling on her phone.

Not until that someone tapped her shoulder out of nowhere, startling Jimin.

Head turned around before her eyes widened in shock, knowing that it was that someone she met yesterday, and her first impression on him wasn't good at all.

"Y-You..."

"Your Instagram have lots of pretty pictures, Jimin. Would you mind if I follow your account?", he smiled towards Jimin happily.

"You're from this morning. You're Jaeho's friend", Jimin said while still looking at Sungjoon in confusion. Her inner guts telling her to ignore him, totally denying his existence. But, it is really hard for her when her act of humanity beats everything.

"My name is Sungjoon, by the way. Are you alone?", Sungjoon asked as he sat right next to Jimin, making the girl uncomfortable from head to toe. She definitely didn't like the idea of him being so close to her. They are literally strangers.

"Basically, I am not alone. I am waiting for my friend", Jimin answered flatly, doesn't want to entertain him much. She tried so hard to avoid his strange gaze, sticking her eyes on her phone even more.

Yoo Sungjoon has that kind of aura where his whole figure screams "I am a red flag" to Jimin's mind, and Jimin trusts that.

"Then let me accompany you while waiting for your friend to arrive," he offered, suddenly bending his body forward, closer to Jimin. Jimin was so uncomfortable by his action as she pulled her stool away from him a bit, leaning to the other side obviously.

"You don't need to. I'm fine being alone. Plus, this place is safe enough", Jimin answered, still avoiding that strange gaze from his eyes.

"But I want to, Yu Jimin", he leans in closer and closer to Jimin and there's this surge of adrenaline rush inside her blood, making the girl pull her stool much more away from him, making it obviously obvious that she is extremely uncomfortable with everything he is.

"I'm serious, Sungjoon. Could you just leave me alone and-"

Jimin words were cut off when Sungjoon suddenly kissed Jimin deeply on her lips.

Her eyes went wide in shock, her phone fell down to the floor with a loud thud while Sungjoon closed his eyes, pulling Jimin's neck closer to him with his big palm, enjoying the kiss he gave her right now despite Jimin feeling the horror and goosebumps on her skin.

This is so wrong.

She can't let this happen.

Jimin pushes Sungjoon away from her body forcefully, hitting him on his chest. After he finally pulled away with that weird smile, Jimin glared at him at Sungjoon in disbelief and disgust. Sungjoon just showed Jimin his smile while Jimin's eyes screaming in horror, definitely felt assaulted. She wiped her lips in disgust as she looked into Sungjoon's eyes.

"Are you crazy?!"

"Why? It's not like you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend", he simply answered before a hard slap landed on his left cheek, only making him smug even more.

"Crazy asshole. It doesn't matter if I have a boyfriend or a girlfriend! Doing this to me without my consent is sexual harassment!", Jimin's eyes were on fire as her hands formed into fist. Sungjoon just held his reddening cheek while looking at Jimin with his innocent smirk.

Glaring at him who didn't show any sign of remorse, Jimin took all her belongings with her in a rush. "Gosh... You're crazy...", she steps away, leaving the store in a hurry. Sungjoon just looked at Jimin from afar while still smiling in victory, watching Jimin's figure getting further from the store's glass walls.

A devil grin formed on his face as he wiped his lips with his thumb. Soft chuckles, "Persuading, success", he smiled.

*****

Jimin is just about to cross the road when Ningning sees her. She tried to wave her hands towards the older girl, but when the view got closer and clearer, she could see that disturbed expression on her housemate's face, causing concern to the Chinese.

The moment Jimin already crossed the road, now on the same side of the pedestrian walkway as Ningning, the Chinese ran closer to her, and finally Jimin looked up at her with a bothered expression.

"Jimin, I just about to call you, but... are you okay? What happened?", Ningning asked, hands holding out to reach Jimin's. "Tell me what happened when I'm gone?"

"What should I do, Ning?", Jimin asked and Ningning could hear how the older girl's voice started to waver and crack. A drop of tear came out of nowhere from Jimin's eyes, making the younger girl flustered, and worried even more."What should I do..."

"Oh my god- Why? What's wrong?? Why are you crying?", Ningning wiped the tears away from Jimin's cheek when Jimin closed her eyes shut in pain, still crying lightly. "I felt like I was hurting Minjeong."

"Minjeong? What's wrong eonni? I don't understand", Ningning asked while trying to calm the disturbed Jimin. The Chinese immediately pulled the older girl into a hug, "Did Minjeong came? Did she said something to you?"

"I... I-I..."

"Did you fought with her? What's wrong with Minjeong, Jimin? Tell me", Ningning caressed Jimin's back gently, still trying to calm the older girl.

"I want to go home, Ning. Send me home...", Jimin's wet, closed shut crying eyes hurt Ningning even more. "Okay, I'll send you home. Which one? Our home? Or the Kim's?", Ningning asked, confused.

"To Minjeong's...", Jimin answered.

*****

Sungjoon opened the door to his tiny rented room. He didn't even bother to open the lights on, leaving only the table lamp near the walls illuminating the room, flashing lights on the walls full of naked girls' pictures and profiles.

One of the profile pictures on the wall was Jimin's.

"Yu Jimin..." he exhaled the smoke from his cigarettes, walking in a circle before he stopped right in front of Jimin's picture. He looks at the pictures for a few seconds, clicking her tongue as he smirks to himself.

Five pieces of Yu Jimin's picture were on the wall, and he tore one. He inhaled the smoke from his cigarettes once more before he smiled.

"You're my target..."

*****

The taxi Jimin and Ningning took finally arrived in front of Kim's family mansion. Jimin stared into Ningning's eyes apologetically. It wasn't weekend yet, and somehow she felt a bit guilty for leaving Ningning alone at their apartment today.

"Is it okay for me to leave you at the apartment alone?" Jimin asked in guilt, hand on Ningning's knees before the Chinese gave her an assuring smile.

"Don't worry about me. It's not like this was my first time being alone in the apartment by myself. Plus! I can invite Aeri for the night", Ningning said with her smile, trying to make it believable that she would be fine. Well, she is. She will be fine.

"Are you sure?"

"So sure, Jimin", Ningning nodded her head strongly. "Now go. Talk to you later," Ningning literally crossed her body over Jimin's, opening the door for the older girl before pushing Jimin out of the car.

"Thank you. See you tomorrow," Jimin nods lightly with a small smile. She waved her hand at Ningning and the Chinese did the same. Jimin watched until the taxi drove out of her sight.

Jimin walked towards the front gate, only to be greeted by the guards. "Miss Jimin?", the guard asked, confused to see Jimin at the Kim's mansion on weekdays. "What brings you here?"

"Is Minjeong at home?"

"Yes, she is. But, what brings you here? It's Tuesday. Also, you look a bit disturbed. Are you okay, Miss?", the middle-aged guard scratching his head while smiling slightly at Jimin. She could only smile back at his question, doesn't want to show much.

"I'm fine. I'll head inside first," Jimin smiled warmly at the older man with a slight bow before she walked inside the gate, getting closer and closer towards the front door.

Pressing the passcode on the door one by one before opening the door wide open, Jimin was greeted by Minjeong, holding a can of beer infront of the television, with her eyes widened in shock at Jimin's sudden presence.

Minjeong gasped at the sight, hands scrambling to put the can of beer down on the coffee table. "J-Jimin!", Minjeong gulps, realising that she was caught in the act, drinking alcoholic beverages without Jimin's permission.

"Minjeong...", Jimin called for her weakly, still standing in front of the front door while looking at Minjeong with her small, teary eyes. Her sadness deepened as she walked closer to where Minjeong was standing in panic actions.

"J-Jimin! I can explain! I d-didn't mean to-"

Minjeong words came to a halt when Jimin crushed her body onto Minjeong's, pulling her into a tight hug before the older girl suddenly started to cry heavily. Minjeong was taken aback by the sudden action, completely confused with the situation.

"Minjeong..."

Minjeong's eyes are wide open. "What's wrong?", Mijeong asked, but didn't get any answer. Her hands moved automatically to caress Jimin on her back. Jimin was still crying inside Minjeongs's embrace before she gestured for Jimin to sit on the couch, demanding explanations.

Minjeong pulled away from the hug, eyes shot on Jimin's. "It's Tuesday. Why are you here, and why are you crying?"

"I want to tell you, but I'm afraid that you might be angry-"

"Just tell me, and I promise I won't be angry", Minjeong assures her. "Now, tell me. What happened?"

"I'm... I-I'm..."

Jimin couldn't bring herself to tell her the truth, that she was harassed by a red flag guy out of nowhere, kissing her on the lips when she was aware that she is a married woman.

"I'm sorry" is the only word that escaped Jimin's lips before she continued to cry again. At this rate, Minjeong got her confusion even deeper, and Jimin won't explain anything to her.

"I can't understand," Minjeong furrows her eyebrows as Jimin still clings to her body to cry. "You need to tell me to help me to understand. What is going on?"

"I'm sorry...", Jimin apologizes once more.
