Sung Minjun

I can't forgive you, ever. You switched my life and turned it upside down. I'm not like I used to. I used to find it so easy to stand up for myself but when you left, I can't because I'm now scared of the consequences.

I'm surprised I haven't blocked you or anything just because I want you to explain why you left me.

I came back to reality with a tear in my eye and Jimin noticed.

"D-did I make you cry?" He stuttered nervously.
"No, it's me. It's me who is making myself cry but I can't help it. My thoughts are to wild that's it takes over my body and soon will squish m-" He pulled me into a hug, stopping me from talking. We both still walked down the mountain. He slowly grabbed my hand and stopped the hug with me looking at him with wide, shaking eyes. I had lost myself so quickly. "I don't know who to trust.." I finally said it and he gave me the look of confusion. He tightened the grip on my hand and more tears came out but I tried to hide it because the whole class is here.

"What do you mean by you don't know who to trust?" He gently asked me, not letting go. My pupils dilated innocently with glitter forming like water droplets. Jimin was like a little cuddly bear which little kids had when they are scared at night, yet in scared in day.
"Noth-" Jimin cut me off.
"Please tell me, I'm here for you."

"The truth is, I don't know if I can trust you." His dark eyes darkened even more in a sad way. His dark orbs suddenly started to glitter in innocence, keeping his focus on me. His smile dropped but he still tried to keep one on his face. I spoke again, "It's just that you have been so mysterious lately and not only that, I'm worrying over my ex and why he left. Did I do something bad?" We were both completely silent while walking that it got awkward, very awkward. However, Jimin didn't let go of my hand, he kept it wrapped around and squeezed it gently randomly at different times. My heart wouldn't stop beating but doing so, I felt like crying harder than what I already did. I want to cry my heart out. My life feels lied to. There's little parts in it which I know hasn't been unlocked. For good or bad, I don't care what it takes, I just want to hear the truth. The truth which is hurting me inside slowly, chopping away at my heart.

"Who's your ex?" Jimin looked at me and I could see that from the corner of my eye but I stayed looking down at the floor. I sighed.
"Sung Minjun, he left me for a girl but I don't know her name. He left without telling me why so since then I became cautious but when I first looked at you that day, I felt different..."
"I know him from my old class and I've got his number." I finally looked at him. My tears found their way down my face and I bit my lip angrily.

There was a sudden change in my actions. Just knowing there are people who are friends with him yet doesn't know my pain I went through hurts. My senses went from calm and disappointment to pure rage. I couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Tell him he has made my life a mess! Tell him I want a valid reason as to why he left without properly telling me!" I shouted, not bothering with the people around and luckily, nobody noticed.

I slipped my hand away forcefully and broke down in more tears. My whole face started to dry up with tears.

"If I just knew stuff without everyone being so secretive around me, I'll be ok but now, I know there's no going back. Either tell me now about you or I'm going and text Minjun to own up too. I'm done with people like this."

I stopped walking and Jimin stopped by me, tears also starting to form in his eyes.

"Y/n, I can't tell you... Minjun did something for you. He told me it was to protect y-"
"Protect my ass! It's just made me worse! I don't care about being protected, I care about him being there forever! So what about you, what can't you tell me? Is it so important to save yourself then to help the people around?" I spat at him, tightening my fists.
"If you knew, you would hate me and be terrified. You've seen it once... everything has a reason." He tried to grab my hand but I dodged it and slapped his wrist.
"My heart used to have a reason but now it doesn't. I hate it!"

Then, I took my chance. I ran into the nearest side with trees and luckily for me, it was filled with trees. I heard foot steps run after me, the voice shouting my name but I blocked it all out of my head. It soon stopped as I believed Jimin had to go back to camp. I was still half way up the mountain and I knew I'm going to get very lost. Running, that was the only thing in my mind. To run so far that no one could find me and I could just end it.

To end it...

All the misery...

All the lies...

All the fake people...

I let out a scream, shouting out my anger freely in the middle of the woods. I tripped over many rocks and roots from on the floor but that didn't stop me. Although it did cut my leg, letting out some blood which laid on the ground, I didn't stop because I just couldn't. It wasn't like the wound hurt me, I just had worse.

I climbed over fallen trees with the little strength in had but soon paused, looking back at it.

The sorrow I felt for Freya when she tried to protect me from one which would have flattened us. Freya. I completely forgot about how she would feel when she found out I've gone.

I nudged her out of my head before I feel even more overwhelmed with everything which is happening.

Soon, I made my way down the hill through the trees. Of course I wouldn't properly go to camp, I just wanted to be in a more flatter land with less trees.

The rest of the day was filled with me walking around out of breath to find somewhere perfect. It caused my legs to turn into a shaking mess. They would go numb any second and I would collapse. The place wasn't filled with trees and it wasn't steep. The only bad thing was that I could see blood on the floor which looks like it has dried for quiet a while. I slouched down against a tree and relaxed my whole body. It has given up on me. I couldn't move my legs anymore which I knew was really bad when stuck in the woods alone.

I closed my eyes and imagined how my life could be different but all I could imagine about was a blank void. The blank void didn't stop, it was infinite.

Then, I felt tinkles across my body so I opened my eyes and slapped the place where it tickled. It wasn't a bug, it was a nervous itch. I closed my eyes once more and soon fell asleep.

I came back to my senses after a long sleep from a light in front of my eyes. I kept them shut so I wouldn't get blinded. I stretched a bit, feeling energy run back through my body. Finally, my eyes opened and I met eyes with a beautiful lady who placed her flashlight down and grabbed my face gently.

She wore a blue outfit with a hat.

Wait a second...

She was a member of the police.

I straightened my back on the tree and she helped me adjust myself.
"Name little girl?" The lady asked me although she only looked a couple years older than me.
"I'm Jeong Y/n..." I massaged my eyes to get used to the sudden light change and I saw her face even better.

Her eyes were an ocean blue and her hair was was a hazel brown. She smiled at me and a little dimple showed beside her cheeks.

I looked at her uniform and read her name quietly.

"Seo Boyoung"

She started to check my body, making sure I was safe.

"Why are you here all alone Y/n?" Boyoung asked me and I looked down when I remembered everything.
"I was camping with the school but I kinda had a massive fall out or you could say misunderstanding, with someone and I felt like ending it all." Her eyes came to mine and met.
"Ending isn't always the way. I've broken up with someone but I knew that he had someone else on mind. He left me." She looked hurt for a couple of seconds but hid it and held my hand. The last time I had it held was with Jimin before I ran.

Boyoung helped me up after some time and said she would help me get back to camp but I disagreed. I don't want to.

I changed the subject before she insisted on making me go.

"Why are patrolling here?"
"The wolves, that man was killed by them, remember?"

My dream came back by how it's fur smoothly touched my face. How innocently it came to me.

"Wolves seem so innocent that I don't think they would kill us unless they felt threatened. By any chance do you know his name so I could think of reasons?"
"What would that name do sweetheart?"
"Please, just incase..." Boyoung gave in and nodded, seeing how much I wanted to know.
"His name is Sung Chanyeol."

The name became so familiar to me that it clicked. He had to be related to Sung Minjun, right? What if he's the dad?

Boyoung looked away.

"Does he have a son which goes by the name Sung Minjun?" I suddenly brought out and she looked back, completely surprised by what I said.
"You know Minjun?" I got confused by her actions and nodded.
"Yeah, he was my first boyfriend until he left me for someone else. This other boy, who knows him, told me he was trying to protect me from something but I don't get what." I gave her the little story and her eyes teared.

"Minjun was my boyfriend too but he broke up because he told me he finished something off, which now meant he could go back to the girl before me... his first girlfriend." Her eyes glanced into mine deeper and added on something else. "He was too mysterious with me. He seemed hurt and always hid his right arm from everyone and I didn't know why, all I know is that it happened after Sung Chanyeol"

My mouth opened up and I couldn't believe it. After all this time and I hear something, but it felt weird knowing he went to her. The weird thing was about his arm. It always seemed normal for me.

Before I knew about this, I wanted to kill his girlfriend, but after finding her in real life, it's a completely different story.

Then, my senses led to something in the near bushes. Boyoung also heard and pulled out her gun from the holster. She pushed me closer to the tree, making sure nothing could get me. She left some room but it was still close. The rustling came closer as the dream came back how there was a figure of a boy but then a wolf came out instead.

At the same time it replayed in my head, it also came out of the bushes. The same wolf came. The black furry, fluffiest was there. Boyoung triggered her gun, waiting until it came closer to shot. My whole body froze. Was the dream actually true?

Her body shook but she tried her best to hide her fear. She quickly knelt down and grabbed her flashlight from the ground and turning it on, pointing it to the wolf. The cold breeze pushed against our skin and made us shiver more. The wolf came closer. Every move it took, Boyoung got ready to shoot.

Then, from a different bush, a different wolf also came out. Boyoung pointed it to the other one and I looked at the first. It came forward gently, trying not to scare us. I would have thought they would be terrified of us but these, there's something about them which makes them special.

My eyes looked at the second which had some leaves from the bush stuck on its fur. I haven't seen this one before. The past ones were with black or brown but this one was a darkish grey. It also looked older and bigger.

"It's an alpha." Boyoung quietly whispered, keeping her gun facing the grey wolf.
"Don't shot, please." I grabbed her shoulder and glanced over to me.
"They could be dangerous."
"Give them a chance."
"To eat us?"
"No, to join us."

Her eyes were filled with confusion but soon relaxed her hand with the gun in and I stood in front of her. The black wolf came toward us.

I lowered my position to the ground and so did Boyoung, who followed what I did. Then, I held my hand out for it to sniff me and that's what I did. The wolf sniffed it for 10 seconds and then rubbed the side of its face on my hand. It was just like having a dog or cat.

The bushes shook again and Boyoung jumped, seeing 6 others coming in. In total, there are 8 wolves circled around us.

"It's safe if you treat them correctly." I saw her get even more frightened as a brown wolf licked her face. The alpha came over to me and lied down to my side. The black wolf tried to nudged it way with it's face. I tried to separate them, but they stopped before I could.
I stroked them both with all the others of its pack playing with each other.

We stayed like this for around 30 minutes, enjoying what's happening.

"I get what you think now Y/n." Boyoung grabbed my hand.

Then, we heard voices coming closer and closer. Soon, we knew who it was.

"POLICE!" The police held out their guns and Boyoung stood up quickly, trying to stop them.
"Don't shot, they are innocent!" The wolves started to run away but then, I heard something I wish I never heard before.

A gunshot...

What a wonderful day for a cliff hanger :)
