Chapter 22: Liar
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM SEOKJIN! ARMYs love you, our pink princess~~ :)
Do you know who else loves you?
*winks winks*
Han Bi's POV
I'm still surprised. Sanghyuk's back.
"I still can't believe it.. you're back in my life again. W-What happened? Why did you just disappear?" I immediately asked. He looked at me for a moment and after that he slowly bowed his head down low.
"I missed you so much.. didn't I, Han Bi?" He said in a low volume. I'm in loss for words.
"I left because I got picked on by the students for being with you a lot. They really won't get enough of what they have beeing doinf to me. They kept on telling me that they wouldn't accept me if I kept on being friends with someone like you." He started explaining.
My mouth gaped open. We couldn't be that similiar.
"They said that you're such a low class and that I can't be friends with you. It hurts me to think that I needed to stop being friends with you— being in love with you just for the liking of this people so I didn't listen. You're the only one I cared about so much, Han Bi."
"Sanghyuk.."
"They really hate me a lot. They kept on blaming me when things go wrong and they always make me their laughing stock. I stopped going to school when I found out that staying there might make things worse for me, even if that already meant losing you. The hate of the people from that school.. they slowly evolve." He said, his voice breaking a little.
I can't believe it.
He knows so much.
"Remember when we went to the rooftop together, Han Bi? I told you about the stars and the people around me who were against me. Guess what? Those people are my classmates who torment me and become harsh to me. I thought that time, you were the reason why I kept on holding on and you're the reason why I kept on going. But it didn't last long."
I was in awe, why does this relate so much to me?
I held Sanghyuk's hand tight.
"I knew right from the start, Han Bi, that I couldn't have you by my own and I told you about that. I stopped going to school because I was stupid to think there were no reasons why to stay anymore, but I realized you were a reason. But it was too late, I was all alone after that. My parents aren't there all the time, and I had no brothers and sisters. So no one was there for me. So I was alone and I left school for months without anyone noticing a thing." He continued, his voice getting a lower and lower.
I held his hand now, tighter than ever.
"Look, Sanghyuk. I don't think I can make things better now, but I hope I could at least make you feel better. Why will you ever give up on me, huh? You don't know what we could have together if you stayed, we could still be happy even if they hate us, right? My state right now, Sanghyuk, I can't tell you that I'm any different from you." I said.
We aren't that different.
The schools hates me a lot, and judging at what Sanghyuk said, he keeps on gettig hurt as much too. He knows that be can't have me, just like me with Seokjin.
The difference we have is that Sanghyuk stopped attending school because it was getting worse. He left even without thinking of a reason why to stay.
But for me? I still kept going. I knew it was getting worse. Little by little. But now brain is making me stay and find out the reasons why.
"What do you mean?" Sanghyuk asked in confusion.
"Nothing, I'm just telling you that you're not the only one. People hate me too. They think of me as a delinquent and a flirt." I said and chuckled to remove the tension.
"What?"
I gave him a forced smile. "It's true. People look like they will never seem to like me. They've been teasing me a lot and throwing me things and I would try my best to keep my tears in. But it's not that easy, you know, I don't want to end up crying like a baby. It will make me an easy target."
He just looked at me in disbelief. "Are you sure they're doing that to you?"
I nodded simply.
He stared at the ground for a moment before speaking. "No way.. why are those students like that? I can't believe they hate you that much. You're too damn beautiful to be hated on."
My cheeks heated up for a moment, but that ended quickly. Things changed si much in just months. If only I kept on liking Sanghyuk as much as I do before.
But no, I'm in love with Jin now.
"Thanks but.. it's too difficult for me to believe in that. If hate keeps on going on like this, then I might as well leave too. I really don't want things to get worse.. even if I'm leaving some good friends behind." I said.
I immediately thought of Soojin and Ye-eun, they're really good friends. I didn't need to worry much about Hanna since I can still keep in touch with her for longer since our parents are friends.
Also, Seokjin, if I leave him.. everything's going to be alright, right?
"Did you remind yourself that you're leaving Kim seikjin behind too? It's not simple since you know that's it's difficult. After all, you're really in love with him." He continued with a seemingly painful smile.
I was surprised for a moment, but I then realized that it was kinda obvious too. It's saddens me how he knows about that. "You're right Sanghyuk, I'm sorry. I didn't know that that will ever happen, I never saw it coming." I said.
"I found out that it will, right from the start, I already knew I can't have you. It's fine, okay? As long as you're happy, I'm happy." His painful smile grew wider, hammering nails into my chest.
Am I hurting Sanghyuk this much now? Right after I reunited with him, he'll only find out that I'm in love with Jin. And that was the last thing I wanted him to do. But maybe, he knew that from the start. And that makes me sad.
I can't make him tell me that he's unhappy if he really is happy when I am, so I tried making the day better for the two of us. "I missed you, you know? You should've at least talked to me about it, and it would have been really nice if that happened. At least you know I'll be there for you." I said.
"Yeah, me too. I'm sorry too. I was too afraid myself that I even disappeared without notice." He said. I chuckled, "Come on, it's alright. As long as you're here already. I'm fine."
After this, I'll be leaving Kim Han-Seok High School already. It's okay, as long as I'll keep touch with Sanghyuk again and make up for the time we lost together.
Also.. if I can keep touch with my other friends too.
But I'll still forget.

I watched Taejun as he walked left and right in deep thought, concentrating hard on his movements. My eyes are all on him and the way he walks left to right. He's thinking hard for some reason. I'm sitting on a chair right in front of him, comfortably leaning on my back with crossed arms.
I'm so freaking pissed.
That's when I decided to break the ice. "What the hell are you even thinking about right now, Taejun? Can I just go home now? There's no one in school anym—"
"Shut your mouth Han Bi." He harshly said. I was taken aback by the sharpness of his voice. I then rolled my eyes. "Why would I? What the hell is your freaking problem? This is clearly not going anywhere, you're mad for no reason." I replied back in the same, harsh tone.
"It sickens me so much," He started. "It sickens me why you ever lied like this to these people. Are you doing this on purpose huh? Lying to people about coming from a dilapidated home, making people treat you like trash so that you could get the attention you wanted?!" He continued, voice getting louder and angrier.
I suddenly had goosebumps. It's so overwhelming, he never talked to me like that before. I didn't reply because it was too stupid. I shook my head and stood up immediately, rushing to the door with my bag on my shoulder.
Another reason why to leave school then: Taejun.
He quickly blocked the door in front of me before my fingers touched the doorknob. I let out a small gulp and watched as he looked at me menacingly.
"I.. want to go home, idiot. Why can't you listen to me? Why do you think you're in the place to care about me, anyway? You're not my dad, my brother, nor my boyfriend anyway." I said back.
I looked at him who's looking at the ground, his teeth gritted and his hand was against the door. I watched his hand movements, he was trembling.
"I was.. I was your boyfriend Han Bi."
He made me angrier. My heart started racing and my blood was boiling. "OH. Is that something you're proud about now? When you were my boyfriend, I didn't feel it. And besides, you were, Taejun, you're not now. You don't have any business with me."
He sneered. "I told you that I sill love you, didn't I? Why can't you let me show it to you?" He asked, voice husky as his face leaned closer to mine.
He then held my shoulders and shoved me against the wall, trapping me in between his arms. My breathing became heavier, his face was inching unbelievably closer.
"W-What are you doing?"
He didn't reply and just smirked.
1..
"Can't I prove it to you.. for at least a moment?" He continued, provoking me with his glade. My heart was racing faster and faster. I thought about kicking him in the balls but I was too intimidated and I felt too weak.
2...
"You remember when I first kissed you, right? I stole your first kiss, didn't I? Can I.. do that again, Han Bi?" His breath brushed my face. I'm so helpless, I need someone to interrupt and stop him from doing something but..
3...
His lips landed on mine in a split second. My eyes widened, but I expected it so I pushed him away immediately and slapped him. He laughed a little while nursing his cheek. I heard a small thud from beside me.
"You should've done that in a more private place." I heard someone interrupt. I looked at the door at the right of me, realizing it was open and someone was inside the room with an unhappy look on his face.
Goddamit, Kim Seokjin, some wrong timing you've got there.
"Get out Taejun. You know that she hates you right? Get out now before I might do something to you." Jin said in a menacing tone.
Taejun snickered. "And who are you to step in the picture?"
"And who are you to kiss her like she's yours? Get out now. She's mine." Jin said, making my heartbeat stop for a moment and beat again but alot faster now. Jin is making it too hard for me.
"She's yours alright, just for now." Taejun said in a pissed tone and rushed out of the door. I just stayed frozen, in awe of what happened.
Jin looked at for a momeny before sighed exasperatedly and sat on a desk, leaning on his back. "I thought he'd never leave." He stated in a tired tone. I pursed my lips.
"I thought you'd never come. You did but it was too late, why were you in here watching anyway?" I asked, attempting to leave right now. I just asked for the sake of asking, not to really hear his answer.
"Shut up, I wanted to talk to you for a moment." He just said. I didn't reply and landed my hand on the doorknob.
"Han Bi, I'm here for a reason. You need to stay. For me, please?" He asked, his voice really tired. All day, he's been like this. He seems like he's lacking some rest sometimes. Earlier, I was worried that I kept on looking at my back when I see him behind me in class.
"Alright. Thank God I—" Thank God I love you. I could've said that. "..nevermind. It's 6:30 pm, why do you still want me to stay?" I asked in a low tone and sat near him.
"Well.. It's because I just need you to." He continued. I immediately turned flustered.
I sighed, I just realized how tired I was as well. I have no time to put up with and have some drama with him. Nor his selfishness at this moment.
"I'm sorry, Seokjin, I just want to go." I said just to end things for today and call it a night.
I stood up and was about to saunter to the door again, but my slowness gave him time to pull me down to the seat beside him. I shook my head and stood up again, but this time, he just held me by the wrist and looked at me at the eye and to the ceiling, and then he smiled.
"I told you to stay, don't be stubborn." He said. I rolled my eyes. His hand was still touching mine, his grip getting tighter and tighter. "Stay with me." he continued.
I shook my head. "Oh God Jin, you're tired as fudge. I'm sorry. The school is closing in an hour and you need to go home before drifting off to sleep on that chair." I lectured.
He didn't reply for like a minute. "You know Han Bi? Your lips.." He started, as if I never nagged at him. "..no one else can lay their lips on them, beside me."
My whole body froze. My cheeks flared red. What the hell is he talking about? "Taejun should find other girls' lips to kiss, just not yours. I'm the only one who can lay my lips on them and he should find his own place."
I can't believe what he said.
He smiled and lied his head back comfortably, his Adam's apple showing. He closed his eyes tight and smiled. He looks like an idiot and his hand is still on mine. His hand gets warmer and warmer. I'm getting the goosebumps because of him.
Is he drunk? Is he kidding me? Or is he just really tired? Probably really tired. He looks like he's going to sleep on me.
There was still silence, and we're still in this position, so I'm assuming he's probably asleep. "We sure did a lot of stuff today. Look at you being like that, tired and all." I said. He turned his head to me and opened an eye, then closed it again.
"You know what I feel about you, Han Bi?" He asked. I didn't reply, what was he going to say? "I love you.. I love you so much." He started.
I almost choked on my own saliva. Wait, what? My whole body flushed and my heart just won a stupid race. No way, he's probably trying to make a fool out of me.
This isn't healthy.
"Look, I just confessed, you probably won't accept it. Right now, I really wish I could hold your hand forever." He said, and then started to pull my hand and landed it to the part where his heart is. "As cheesy as it sounds, you're the reason why this ever races."
Tears were starting to well up now.
Saying this is too much.
I kneeled on my knees on the floor and let his hand be on mine. I painfully smiled at him. If only what he's saying was true, if only he wasn't just tired and actually aware of what he's saying— wouldn't it be nice? Wouldn't it nice if he actually returned his feelings to me?
"You're so tired, aren't you? You should be home right now, resting." I said. He shook his head immediately.
"I'm not just saying this Han Bi because I'm tired, I really mean it. I'm in love with you." He continued. My heart was thumping faster. I can't take this anymore. He's hurting my feelings by doing this.
I quickly removed my hand from his. "Liar," I cried in a low volume. "Stop lying to me, making me expect like something's going to happen. You love Hanna. You shouldn't play with my feelings."
"But I'm not lying." He nonchalantly said, holding my hand tight, voice still tired. I stared at his hand on mine.
Lies lies lies. Don't make me expect that you're actually in love with me, Jin.
I let out a small smile and a sigh. "I'll believe you for now Jin, even if you're lying. And I'll make you believe one thing as well— I love you too."
I feel so accomplished, even if I'm saying it as a 'lie'. I feel like I got the burden off my chest. It was completely true.
I saw him smile, his eyes still closed. He held my hand again. His other hand that's not holding mine ruffled my hair. "I know you actually do."
My cheeks turned red. "I-Idiot. It was a lie. A lie that will only be believed today." I reminded.
He didn't reply and possibly drifted off to sleep. I creepily watched him sleep, smiling at myself like a complete idiot. He got so tired that he started blurting random words to me. Even that lie about falling for me.
If only he was saying the truth.
"I hope you're sleeping right now and can't possibly hear me. Good night, Jin, I love you." I said, as if he'll ever hear that.
I'm sure he'll wake up before it gets late. But I hope he doesn't, so that I can get the chance to hold his hand forever.

MY RUN THEORY:
Apparently, I'm not one of those Sherlock fans but I smell what's going on in some parts in the MV: I have this feeling that they didn't actually die except for Jin. When Jimin was pushed in the bathtub the members only did it for fun, when Jungkook was about to be hit by the car— it didn't happen. The car just paused, and Jungkook smiled. Taehyung (who I think was the one falling in the water at first), rising from the water in the end, J-Hope was sent to rehab and Rapmon with V got arrested for graffiti. They say that maybe Jin didn't die and the rest did, but I have this feeling everyone else didn't and he died. At one part of the MV there's this part where the wall has something written in it and it said: 'Inhale Exhale Breath', and Jin was heavily breathing by the end of RUN MV Teaser. Maybe this involves something about Jin's death that I'm surprisingly not sure about. I think RUN MV hows how the members coped up with Jin's death (I got this from another theory). Jungkook and Suga fought because Jungkook wants Suga to accept Jin's death. Jungkook smiled in the end when the car crash didn't happen because of acceptance and the memory of Jin. By the end, Jimin burned the photo of the group that doesn't have Jin in it since he can't accept them only being six.. that's at first. The I need U MV had them all dying it's because that's what they felt when Jin died— they're dying inside. The photo Rapmon took that had Jin and Suga in it— which Suga appeared to be in invisible is baffling.. Did Jin think he's the only one alive then? Or his ghost can't interact with humans? I still strongly believe Jin is their angel.. and in the campfire scene in the prologue where Jin talked to them and the others just nodded smiling, it probably meant that they thought about Jin only when his ghost is actually there. Ok bye, I'm done.
