Only hope


The next morning Y/n got up lazily as she went to the washroom. She decided to take shower at once.  After she was done she went to the kitchen.

She prepared something for her to have as she sat down. Not to mention the music is playing in the background and she is enjoying the vibe. As she was eating, her gaze landed on the top of her bookshelf where the boxes are.


"Right, I've to investigate the box and then take it to Jimin's house"


She nods to herself as she kept on eating. Later, she washed the plate and went near the bookshelf.


"It is too high from my reach. Why did I put it there?"


She took a stool and with the help of that, she took the boxes in her hands. She placed the boxes on the table as she carefully checked every box in hope she'll get a clue.

At last, she took the biggest box among them. She noticed there was something written outside the box.


"Ringa ringa rose? Is that the company name?" Her gaze then landed on the random letters under the assumed company name "What is this?"

"EFQ aVAQQW YA YV RUTW FaVAA"

"What does that even mean? It is total gibberish Means the only clue we've right now is the company name which I hope is actually a company name" She said as she stood up and took her phone


IN PHONE:


Y/n:- 'Hello Jimin?'

Jimin:- 'Hello Y/n. Did you find anything?'

Y/n:- 'Yes, just a name which I assume can be the company name from where the delivery was. Also some gibberish words too'

Jimin:- 'Oh, then come home. We'll search for the company and visit it personally'

Y/n:- 'Okay'


END OF CALL


She cut the call as she took her bag & keys. She came out of her house and directly head to Jimin's.

When she was outside she knocked as Jimin's mom opened the door. Y/n bowed to her and went inside.

Confused Mrs. Park followed behind asking who is she while on the other hand, Y/n's phone is ringing where Mr. Jung is calling. It felt frustrating but she tried to stay calm.


"Um, Miss could you please wait for a moment?" She insist Mrs. Park & picked up the call

"Hello? Yes. I ain't coming to office today. Um...hm...Oh? I don't care. Yes, yes. I know you can take care of all that on your own. Okay? Just cancel the meeting it's as simple as that. Now bye, yeah I hate you too"


She cut the call and then looked at Mrs. Park who is shocked by the way she talked.


"You were saying?" She asked looking at her

"Uh, who are you? I'm asking this cause I've-"

Y/n cut her saying "I'm his girlfriend. I know he hasn't told you yet but one day you'll find out anyway you know? And yeah is Jimin inside?"

"Yes.." She replied, speechless

"Okay" She nods


Y/n walked to Jimin's room while Mrs. Park stayed there is confusion and shock.


"Y/n! I was waiting just for you!"

"Yeah I know" She sat down on his bed "Here's the box" She handed him the box


He took the box & read whats written.


"Ringa Ringa roses? What a weird name" He exclaimed

"Yeah just as the delivery man" She said sarcastically

"So you haven't found anything more than this?" He asked while investigating the box

"The gibberish too to be specific" She replied

"And besides?" He again asked looking at her

"Nothing"

"I see" He said nodding


He went to his desk as he sat on the chair & opened his laptop to search up the name in hope of finding a clue.


"What are you doing? Do you think such a shady company will have some sort of online website?" She asked looking at him, still sitting on the bed

"I don't think so but we can try...got it! Wow that was easy" He said, surprised

"Wait really?!" She asked standing up


Jimin nods and she went near him as she put her hand on his shoulder and took a closer look at the laptop screen.


"Omo! If it's really them then it means we'll be finally free out of this misery!"


She said as she looked at him. Jimin stood up as well as they hugged each other in excitement.


"We'll go to the following address written there! I really hope it isn't a hoax" He said pulling from the hug, looking in her eyes with his sparkly eyes

"I hope so too" She said showing a hopeful expression


They came out of his room smiling when they noticed Mrs. Park standing there with a tray. They know the same thing is repeating as they sighed.


"Mom, we're going out. So we can't eat right now"

"Oh, it's fine. Have a great time together, bye" She said smiling


Jimin felt something is off about her behavior but he ignored it and walked out of his house.  He went to the car parked outside and offered Y/n to enter in which she did. Soon he started driving.


"Y/n, don't you think mom was acting a bit strange?" He asked while focussing on driving

"Oh that? It's because I told her I'm your girlfriend" She replied

"You did what?!" He asked getting shocked as he looked at her

"Yah! Focus on driving!" She shouted as the car went out of a balance for a moment

"Sorry, but why?" He asked focusing on driving again

"Look if I replied I'm your friend then she'd ask a lot of questions for which we both have no time. So as I said I'm your girlfriend she stayed quite cause of the sudden confession. In which she didn't ask any questions"

"Oh, you're smart"

"I know" She giggled


When they reached the address it led them to a factory which is standing at nowhere. They came out of the car and went closer towards the building. There they saw a person coming out of the building.

They ran to him as the person looked at them.


"You guys need any hel-"


Before the person could speak any further Jimin grabbed his collar in anger which caused the person to get in shock including Y/n.


"Jimin what are you doing?! He'll die!" She said as she noticed the man is suffocating


"I'll kill you! How dare you give us this ring which is no good?!"


He said as he pulled the man closer to him by the collar while the man started coughing cause of suffocation.


"Jimin leave him!" She said shaking his hands to loose his grip on the man's collar


Y/n  forcefully removed Jimin's hands from the mans collar as the man fell on his knees, coughing.


"Jimin, I know you're very angry but for now we need answers. And getting violent won't take us anywhere" She said as she made Jimin look at her

"I know. I'm sorry for that. It's just I...wanted to take revenge" He said in a tired tone

"I know" She cupped his face "But we'll need to endure this for a little more while. So I wish you to be patient" She said smiling


Jimin blushed and nods as he looked at the man "Now tell us. How do we take off the rings?" He asked in a intimating way


But it was of no use as it seemed the man didn't cared nor was scared.


"The answer is in your hand" He said as he pats on Jimin's shoulder and walked inside again


They were left confused & dumbfounded. They didn't understood what happened just now. They rush towards the door & bang on it for almost half an hour but no response came making them feel disappointed.

Thinking no one is going to come out they went got in the car. Y/n tried to cheer Jimin up but the way he was upset was hard to make him happy again.

The journey back to Y/n's place was silent. No one dared to utter a single word but not like they wanted to. When they were outside her house she opened the door & both of them went in.

They head to her bedroom as she sat on her bed looking down while Jimin was just standing beside the window in silence & disappointment.


"The answer is in your hand" She repeated as looked at her ring & caressed it "What that could mean?"

"It means 'I fooled you'. That bastard just made fun of our miserable state" He said in frustration

"No...I don't think so. There's probably something we're missing out" She said as she looked at him

"What do you mean?" He asked looking at her

"Even I don't know but there sure is something we're overlooking. Wait..." She stood up & tried to take off her ring "Well it's a fail" She again sat down


They both sighed & stayed like that for awhile then Y/n jolted up.


"W-what happened?" Jimin asked getting confused by her sudden move

"Jimin! Give me your hand!"

"What? Why?" He asked totally not getting what she is up to

"Don't talk and just give me!"


Jimin give his hand as Y/n asked him to hold hers.


"Take off my ring at the same time when I do yours" Jimin nods

"If the answer is in our hands. Then...it could only mean that. We can't take it off on our own" She slowly tightens her grip over Jimin's ring "Instead we'll need our partner who is also stuck to take it off for us..." And they both pulled it their hardest.


Because of pulling the rings too hard, they both fell backward & hit their back & back of their heads. Rubbing their head they looked at their hands.

Surprisingly it came off. Their eyes grew widened in shock as they looked at each other.


"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Jimin! It's not in our fingers anymore!" She said as she looked at him in happiness & stood up

"Yes! I can't believe this! Please tell me this isn't a dream!" Jimin said who is as happy as her

"It's not a dream pabo! We're finally free for real!" She said while helping Jimin to stand up


Couldn't able to control the excitement & happiness she hugged him real tight.


"I still couldn't believe this!" She shouted in happiness

"Me neither!"


And they started laughing, looking at each other. They were feeling mixed emotions. It felt like they've won a battle. Their eyes started getting teary as they hugged each other again.

For someone, who was at the edge of giving up getting the sudden victory was way too much to take. It felt like it took them forever to reach this far.

They pulled from the hug as they looked at each other's eyes smiling while the tears of joy rolled down.




"We did it"
