~jimin's point of view~

"taehyung! what the actual mochi!?" i yell into my smartphone after phoning the said boy.

"yah~ jimin ah~, what's wrong? and why are you yelling?" his voice holds confusion. "did you find soo yeong ah~?"

"no! but i found something else!" i shoot back as i hear jungkook's rummaging in the background. according to him the state of which he found soo yeong's smartphone in is too worrisome so he needs to keep himself busy plus he's angry with taehyung because of the message she had received from the said boy. "you told me that soo yeong ah~ kissed you-"

"soo yeong ah~ kissed taetae hyung?!" jungkook's voice suddenly cuts in after halting his rummaging adventure. "hyung, doesn't deserve her kiss!" he sets his jaw, yelling in anger probably hoping that taehyung hears him.

"his cheek, kookie." i glance at him and i hear taehyung gasp on the other end.

"why did jungkook say something lik-"

"- and you said you were nervous to meet her. are you playing some kind of game with us or what?" i interject, feeling worked up because of what i had also seen, a few minutes ago on soo yeong's smartphone.

"what are you talking about, jimin?" his voice becomes anxious. "game? did you speak with ah ro?"

"no! why would i? and i'm talking about the message you sent to soo yeong ah~..." i explain whilst hearing jungkook drop a few things. he turns to look at me, sending an apologetic look my way. "i can never see you doing something like this so you need to explain yourself."

"what message?" he asks, his voice sounding stern. "i didn't send soo yeong ah~ any message."

i purse my lips, "tae-hyung, i have soo yeong ah's phone with me right now and it's opened to your chat and there's very colourful words written on it!"

"colourful words?" he hastily shoots back. "what does it say?"

"listen closely because i'm not repeating these words..." i hear him hum in response and i take a breath in before speaking again, "please don't show up tonight. i only used you to make someone else jealous and it worked..."

i hear him groan in irritation on the other end, "noo, jiminie~ i would never! you know that."

"there's more, just listen." i bite the inside of my cheek as i hear him wince. "also, there's no way i'd be into you. ever. you're too naive and ugly-looking for someone as good-looking as me."

"i swear to the heaven and the stars, hyung!" jungkook yells after jimin reads the last of the text message. "you better not have done this!"

"aish, i didn't do it! i swear!" taehyung implores desperately after i put his call on speaker. "and she's not ugly! for all i care she'll obviously be the better looking one in our relationship!"

"thanks for stating the obvious!" jungkook snorts angrily and i give him a side glance but he only huffs turning around to continue his rummaging.

jungkook's taken this news about taehyung and soo yeong really badly but i can't blame him for doing so because he was friends with soo yeong sometime before i was and he cares alot about her. so seeing her get hurt by his favourite hyung hurts his pure heart a tad bit too much.

"taetae," i say and he sighs. "when soo yeong ah~ kissed you where you by any chance with her in the outhouse?" i ask, hoping to find the real and more plausible solution to this scandal because i don't think a liar would yell that much and that loud in a public place.

also, i trust taehyung with my life. he can never do something like this and the bigger question is; why would he waste all of his time coming up with those quotes to write on a number of sticky notes if he doesn't really like soo yeong ah~?

it doesn't add up and who in the heavens would taehyung want to make jealous in the first place?

because he had previously mentioned that he never got any real, physical confession from anyone rather they came only through letters. which means he never really dated before unless...

unless this is a revenge or jealousy story but who else likes taehyung enough to go this far-

wait!

"oh no, no, no, no, jiminie ah~!" taehyung's voice suddenly breaks my train of thoughts and his words of despair echo throughout the little room. "ah ro! it was her! i'm sure of it now. oh man." his voice cracks and it sounds as if he's about ready to break down.

"ah ro..." i repeat. "i was about to conclude the same. she's the only other known person to like you, hyung." i say and jungkook stops to listen.

"exactly," taehyung groans annoyedly. "she came in the outhouse earlier and said bad stuff about soo yeong then she forced me to go on a date." he explains and slowly things begin to piece together. "and that's when it happened. she used my phone to search up something."

"you're a pabo, hyung!" jungkook hollers, kicking some things down. "that's the most cliché thing in the book!"

"i know jungkook! and i'm sorry!" he yells. i can't imagine all the judgemental stares he'd be getting right now, making him feel even worse than he already is. "and i hurt soo yeong ah~ unintentionally... i can't imagine how she's feeling right now."

"hyung, if want to know then you need to go and find her." i declare. "and you need to put things straight between you both because i've never seen soo yeong ah~ smile so bright ever since her dad passed on."

he sighs on the other end, "alright, jiminie ah~. i will clear everything up. i have too."

"you better unless you want muscle kook right on your ass." i whisper with a light chuckle and taehyung snorts. "he's really angry with you."

"i hope he can forgive once everything is over." he says sincerely before hanging up and i turn to face jungkook.

i find him crouching down on the ground without moving, "jungkook ah~?" i call. "i know soo yeong means alot to you and so does taetae but don't be sad, everything will work out." i place my hands on his shoulders giving it a light squeeze.

"i know it will..." he says still not moving an inch but rather i notice him staring deeply at something in his hands.

"what are you looking at?" i ask and he slowly elevates.

"i don't really know but i'm pretty sure it's typed in a letter format." he chucks the a4 sized paper at me. "the whole thing's in english so i can only make out soo yeong's name." i look at jungkook with a raised eyebrow while turning the paper right side up. "what? i'm not the one that got 75 in english class, okay. i got a 3 remember? now read."

"i'm older than you. respect kookie." i bite back and he throws a fancy-looking envelope at my head. "i was born in busan first..." i mumble afterwards then scan the paper.

"do you understand anything?" jungkook pressures and i sigh softly.

"i see ms. hyungsik's name along with ah ro, soo yeong... i see the word car, house, money and mr. min." i look up at the mention of soo yeong's dad and pout. "aish, that's all i can make out since we don't do such high level english."

"but from what you just said, it sounds really important." jungkook informs. "you think jin hyung will still be here? we could ask him if he understands this." he suggests and i put soo yeong's smartphone in my back pocket.

it wouldn't hurt to try so we quickly slither our way out of the outhouse and begin our journey across the backyard from where we spot the kitchen lights still on. once we reach the far side of the sliding door, jungkook literally splats himself onto the glass and looks inside.

"jungkook, what are you doing? we don't want the dragon lady to see us." i scold trying to pull him off the glass but he doesn't budge.

"i see him! i see him!" he chirps, sliding the door open. "he's still here! let's go!" he grabs my arm and i gasp as he pulls me inside.

his mood literally shifted from an eternal abyss of anger and sadness to hoseok-hyung-happy in like two point three seconds.

maybe i should get him fancy envelopes with soo yeong ah's name on it for his next birthday.

"jin hyung!" jungkook hollers happily, breaking me out of my thoughts but then i notice a frown form over his face. "what are doing hyung?"

i peer my gaze over to hyung only to see him halting the packing of his chef equipment and he's looking at us with an unreadable expression.

"packing my things." he states the obvious.

"why?" jungkook continues his inquisitive reign.

"i got fired." he breathes.

"what!?" both jungkook and i yell in sync and we give him a look which reads why.

"i put laxatives in the dragon lady's food."

jungkook's face lights up in joy, "oh man holy shit, that's great!" he claps as if he's just witnessed luhan live in concert and jin hyung seems to be satisfied with his reaction.

i glare at jungkook then at hyung, "hyung, you do know a large amount of laxatives can kill a person." i state in a serious tone.

"yah~! it's not like i've been giving it to her every day or something." jin hyung sighs, "and you sound just like soo yeong ah~, stob it." he concludes with a soft pout and jungkook chuckles.

i just brush off his childish behaviour with a light sigh but all in all, hyung did a good job with getting back at the dragon lady although we all know she deserves worse than just diarrhea.

"why are you two here anyway? aren't you supposed to be with your families?" hyung asks as he resumes his packing- the sharp knives clicking against each other. i'm just glad that he didn't kill her with those instead.

"t-to... see soo yeong ah~..." jungkook says shakily, almost as if he's unsure of what to reply with.

"aish, she left a while back." jin hyung smiles. "and dear heavens she was looking so beautiful just like her mother, you should have seen her." he smiles like a proud father.

i purse my lips in half-happiness and half-distraught as jungkook and i give each other a glance concluding that he definitely doesn't know what happened to soo yeong regarding that kakaotalk message with taehyung.

"we'll tell him later." jungkook quickly mouths and i nod.

"tell me what?" his old ears managed to catch jungkook's soft words and he looks between jungkook and i with curious eyes.

"later hyung," i say and shove the a4 sized paper onto the table infront of him. "but right now we need to know if you can read this."

hyung narrows his eyes as he inspects the sheet of paper, "don't know, don't know, don't know... testa... ment... aish... i don't get a word of it." he sighs looking up at us. "that's why you need to study english hard." he points a finger toward us.

"oh man..." jungkook sighs. "all we could make out was soo yeong ah's name, her father's plus the dragon lady's." i run a hand through my hair as jungkook speaks again. "hyung, we have a feeling it's really important."

jin hyung puts a finger to his lips and thinks for while before speaking again, "i'm going to meet up with namjoon in a while, isn't he your english teacher?" we both nod in agreement.

"then why don't we show it to him instead?" hyung offers as he grabs the keys to his van forgetting about the packing he was doing a minute ago.

"you sure he'll be okay with us troubling him, especially after school hours?" i mumble as jungkook and i follow hyung out of the kitchen.

"he won't mind..." hyung assures as he glances at us. "because why would he turn down his only jamless students' request?" he laughs, literally sounding like a wiper moving across a glass screen.

"aish!" i fire back, remembering when namjoon-nim told me i got no jams. i don't even no what it even meant. "why does soo yeong ah~ have tell you everything hyung!" i frown and jungkook laughs beside me.
