Revenge

A new day arrived again and the alarm clock on your bedside table soon started ringing reminding you to get up.

With one eye closed and the other open, you turned it off and looked at the time, freaking out immediately after seeing that it was too late.

"Jimin !! Did you change the alarm clock !!? !!" You shouted now fully awake as you jumped out of bed and started running like crazy to get dressed for work.

You quickly finished your basic morning needs such as brushing your teeth and washing your face and went back down the corridor and into the bedroom to get dressed.

You were tagging your shirt in your pants while arriving at the living room where to your surprise you found no one there.

Of course, at this hour he should be at work, I forgot.

You thought right before you rushed to grab your coat and make a quick hairstyle with the brush you always leave on the small table by the exit. Then you proceeded to put on your boots and grab your bag before finally heading out the door.

While running, you took all the steps of your apartment building in just a few minutes, finding yourself in the streets in a blink of an eye, heading for the subway, which you had to take to get there faster.

He will fire me on barely the second day.  I even passed the first one with difficulties. Ah~

You felt slightly irritated with yourself because you may be strange in many ways but you were always consistent and you had a big problem with being set up and because of that, you tried to never be late for anything in general. It was the only good advantage one could say that you had yet now you had failed on being punctual on the second day of your work.

As you reached the subway and entered, trampling yourself among the many unknown bodies you dared to take a glance at the clock again and sighed when you saw that you were already five minutes late and you would certainly not get there before some extra good ten minutes passed.

Your breath was a mess by the time you reached the company building and you were sweating from the running you had to do from the station to there. Your feet were aching but once inside the building all you could think about was to hurry and get to your office,  and once you succeeded, you sunk in your chair like a dead tired body, while ignoring the eyes of your co-workers who of course had taken notice of your delay.

After taking a breath, you got your bag off and placed it aside, only for that very moment to see everyone standing up quickly as Jungkook had made his entrance with his secretary by his side, doing the daily surveillance.

His eyes soon fell on you who, although you had proceeded to quickly bow your head and greet him in a choir with the others, but the fact that you looked sweaty and the way your shoulders were moving up and down at a quicker pace than the norm, couldn't escape his perception.

Yet he decided to let it be and not put you in a difficult position as it was obvious that you had just arrived so he just smiled and continued his patrol giving you the freedom to seat back in your chair at last.

"Why did he hire someone like her anyway. The girl can't even come to work on time." One of your coworkers commented loudly enough for you to listen but since you were tired, you decided to ignore her and just calm down before starting your job for the day.

You had not yet gotten into the production of articles as the special section of the magazine had yet to open because it was scheduled to start next week but until then Jungkook had assigned you to deliver at least three articles a day to your supervisor Shin, who then would decide if you were worth staying at this position or not.

You put on your headphones and started your work, shutting out the conversations from the outside world,  an act that caused a lot of resentment from the others who had not already formed a good impression of your face.

Time flew by as you got sucked in the creative process, and it didn't feel long before the break time had come. That was the only moment that you put down your headphones and took your bag, thinking of paying a visit to Seon in the 40 minutes time that you had.

You hadn't seen her for two days and since you finished the two articles already, you saw no issue so you could easily drop by to see her since Jungkook's house was only ten minutes distance away by car.

Despite the time available you still tried your best to get there fast so you could manage to spend some more time with her, hoping she could drive you back with her car instead and saving you the hassle on your way back. 

As soon as you reached the front door of the house, you rang the bell but no one answered and although you waited and rang again, no one came to open the door for you, making you look around in wonder and a bit regret as to why you hadn't thought of calling her before coming all this way.

Did she go to the supermarket? She is usually all day with her head in her books.

You thought as you started to take a few steps towards the stairs at the end of the corridor where the elevator was located, your hands roaming around your bag in search of your cell phone.

You took out your mobile once it fell to your hold, intending to give Seon a call, while you opened the door to the staircase, hoping you could meet her coming up, for Seon usually avoids taking the elevator because of her overthinking process that makes her anxious of them.

As you pressed the call button, however, your phone call was declined, for apparently she was occupied on another line.

---Change of set---

Seon was sitting on the stairs of her apartment building between the third and fourth floors while talking on the phone with Dae, explaining that she needed an urgent meeting with her for she wanted her professional advice.

She had a lot of pressure on her shoulders and now she decided she could not handle it alone, so as always she turned to her friends for support, of course leaving you out this time, for obvious reasons.

She had talked to Ari and they had arranged to meet at the house that she and Dae shared and as soon as she had hung up the phone with her, Dae had happened to call her.

"Seon, you are worrying me. Is it really that serious?" Dae asked from the other line and Seon left a deep exhale escape her lips, before replying.

"I can't tell you much from the phone but .. Yeah ... I slept with Jimin again." She was overwhelmed with emotions, to the point that she felt like vomiting as she uttered that sentence out loud, making Dae fall speechless on the other end of the line, almost as silent as you had fallen, as you heard that sentence out of nowhere.

A total wave of shock, that had frozen your steps instantly and had made your mind malfunction for you had no idea that she had slept with your boyfriend in general let alone that she had repeated that said action with him.

Are you kidding me?! It can not mean the kinda 'sleep' I am thinking about, right?

You doubted the obvious for it was unthinkable as your body reacted on its own, and brought you to hide behind the corner of the wall. 

No. Seon is my friend. She would never do that. No.

Your denial increased as the trust you had in Seon -who was also her childhood friend- was something else. You knew her for years and your friendship was always above everything. There was no way she could have betrayed you like that.

".. And the worst part is that... I liked it .. Very much .." Seon continued her words causing your world to literally collapse but your body moved quickly to get you away, opening the first door on the floor you were and returning back to a corridor, where you could see the elevator.

The desire to get away as fast as you could, grew overwhelmingly inside you, the oxygen feeling like it was not enough in the atmosphere, while your thoughts became two merciless hands that were attempting to suffocate you, to the point that you physically started feeling your muscles grow tighter around your chest area.

You had once again taken a slap from life that had hurt you but had also made you feel a sense of anger that you had never experienced before

As much as you care about someone, your anger is to become as fierce when that care comes to be trambled. How could she do this to you, after everything you had gone through? After all the things you had done to be by her side and support her. After how you had loved her. How could she play you like a fool and walk over your feelings like this? The more such questions crossed your mind the more you ended up thinking about only one thing. Payback. 

They had both crumbled over your ego and pride, they had ridiculed your feeling and they deserved to be tough a lesson in exchange for the pain that they had caused you with their lies. 

They should not have made you their enemy, because, with those who hurt you or anyone you care about, you had never hesitated to let them taste the poison they tried to serve and that was the reason why the only word that was dominating your mind at that moment was...Revenge.
