"Welcome back, Heejin."

I inhaled a sharp breath and eyed him with a notorious look of cluelessness. 

"Wow, so you know this too?" I laughed out. I was acting like crazy. What more things did I need to be told in my life? Now I just wanted to hear someone tell me my whole life is a joke and I would believe that person. 

"He- I mean Miso, I knew this from the beginning." He sighed, blinking nervously as he whimpered slowly when my sharp eyes almost pierced his orbs. 

"Well, how the fuck?" I asked in eagerness with a hint of furiousness laced in my voice. I'm going to end this drama very soon.

He hissed with my blunt cussing and rolled his eyes. 

"Taehyung's an immortal."

"I know."

"Wait- HOW?"

"I just know, move on."

"..."

"Well, he was cursed so bad that his life was ruined. He saw his dear people being born and dying in front of him. It was a shame that he had to witness that." He started as I crossed my arms impatiently, tapping my foot against the wooden flooring.

"Then, he transferred to our school. He met us and became our friend. We treated him so well until... Until that one day. That one day at night when we saw him killing people mercilessly through some kind of levitating shit." A sigh made me lazy, sinking even deeper into the sofa.

"We were devastatingly scared of him and decided to run as fast as possible. We were traumatized and ignored him. But then, we saw him crying after a week, under a tree where we all usually used to meet." We... He referred himself and Jungkook.

"Guess what? We both teared up too and advanced towards him, engulfing him in a big hug! That day we all cried a lot. He trusted us and told us all his secrets. We were shocked, of course. But decided to keep it confidential within us three."

It hurt me to know just how much he went through. It sounds like more than what I'm experiencing these days... It's so painful.

"Then he showed us a picture of you and your twin... We were enraged to know what happened. After we three had cried, our bond became even stronger and he was like a brother to us. It hurt us seeing him in such a condition but you know what?"

He looked back at me in the eye as I gulped.

"What?"

"I tried hating you, just as he told us, but I couldn't. I observed you but just couldn't find the elements of any kind of evil in you... I felt something was off and so I decided to compare you both twins. And, I came to the conclusion that you were never her in the first place."

"Since when do you know?" I sucked in a sharp breath of anticipation when his eyes glimmered with a look of hesitance.

"Since... Since a week."

"Wow... You know it for so long yet you never tried telling it to your beloved friend." I retorted as tears stilled in my eyes. I had almost felt an attachment with Taehyung but it was just a mere attraction in the beginning, as I thought. Who knew it would turn into something so big?

"Miso... I tried. Hell, don't cry I swear I tried! I went to him and blabbered all sorts of shit to make him belive that but he doesn't seem to be convinced! The first time I tried, Jungkook threw me out of the house and warned me not to 'gaslight' Taehyung anymore." He spoke, simmering down my anger by a bit.

"Jimin..."

"Yeah?"

"What do I do... How do I let him know that I'm Heejin...?"

There was a thick silence which rather seemed a tranquil one for Jimin as he relaxed a bit, finally pouring out all his cup of thoughts to me.

"Miso? Rest for some time, hm? You shouldn't burden yourself that hard. Work on yourself and try to understand what's happening in your surrounding. Take some time." He smiled warmly as a sudden gush of warmth spread through my chest. It made me feel loved. 

"Y-Yeah? Well, thank you I guess." 

I should really go home now. Staying out for too long can be dangerous.

My hands were trembling.

Shall I go in...?

There was no fear for me, honestly. I would just go inside and burst on Yoongi and Namjoon asking them about the 'twin' thingy in my so-called anger. But it still scared me of what kind of looks I would perceive once I'd entered.

With all the leftover courage, I rang the bell after almost a day.

Soon, the door opened and my heart started palpitating under my weak ribs when Yoongi gazed at me with an unfazed expression. This was the scariest. Whenever he looked with a blank face, it meant that the matter was too serious and he was done with the person.

"Shall I get in or you'll make me stand here for the rest of the night?" I gulped, bravely coinciding my sight into his.

"Sure. Get in! You're back after a day. We have so much to tell you, my dear sister." He exclaimed, sarcastically with rolling eyes as he moved to the side, widening the door for me to enter.

I'm doomed.

{}

As soon as I entered, I witnessed a dark Namjoon settled on the sofa glaring at me. It felt as if all the air in the atmosphere disappeared and I could no longer breathe...

Clearing my throat, I sat down too just when Yoongi slumped beside Namjoon who was in deep thoughts, piercing at the glass table. If looks could damage, then the entire table would've been crushed into pieces by now.

"What?" I asked abruptly.

Damn, I'm showing too much guts now.

"Hm? Did you enjoy it?"

"Enjoy... What do you mean by enjoying? Did you know that I was completely drenched in the rainwater and I fainted? I bet you didn't and you didn't even care." I chuckled with a mocking smile.

"That's what I'm saying..." Yoongi repeated, grabbing the glass of water and gulping a sip from it.

By now, I was extremely confused.

What are they trying to say? Did they know?

"Did you enjoy staying at Taehyung's place and drying yourself?"

...

Huh...

Who the fuck-

"Well, he told me you were staying at his house." He completed, giving me a very amusing smile.

That little bitch...

"What are you doing with him, Miso?!"

My lids drooped at the flashback. What?

Gazing at Yoongi's despair-filled eyes, I sighed for the umpteenth time. His gaze was completely red and it seemed as if he had cried. I knew... I knew what they were feeling but all this emotional damage in my life wasn't any less too. Every day... I was struggling every day.

"I-I was unconscious. He would have helped me. How is it my fault?"

"That's not your fault. Your fault is, you never tell us where and when are you going." Namjoon took a deep breath, trying to contain his anger. "It's so hard, Miso. Sometimes, you disappear without a trace and it's so damn scary thinking about where you are. It hurts like hell when you don't pick up calls and go missing. Do you know how many enemies Dad has?"

A lump formed in my throat which I couldn't digest this time.

"He's a detective for fucks sake. There are so many criminals on his back... He tells you all the time to not roam around without any trace or for too long. Do you think it all is a joke?" His voice wavered and right then, I understood he was sad and would cry.

"Namjoon... Listen to me-"

"We don't want to lose you like our mother too, Miso! Why... Why don't you understand..." He whimpered, putting his head in his hands.

What... I thought I was going to be the one who's gonna act like that. Not the other way around...

My eyes moistened immediately and I stiffened a sob.

Usually, when either of us siblings was in pain, our father was there to hold us and help us through the hard times without breaking apart. But now, things seem to easily drift apart and our lives are shredding into pieces of paper as if being destroyed. What the hell?

"Doesn't this hurt me too? Don't cry, p-please." I went near him and crouched in front of him, slowly wiping the tears from his pretty eyes. "Don't waste these precious pearls, brother."

My heart wrenched while I sat back on the sofa.

I can't ask them...

My questions and eagerness will only burden them more than they've already been. It's better for me to investigate myself and know about it. If they didn't tell me about my twin, then there must be a reason for it, right?

My eyes glimpsed at the clock when I noticed the time.

1:00 a.m.

Did it get that late?

"Just go and sleep now." Namjoon exhaled as he wiped off his leftover tears which made my heart feel crack like fragile glass. What more is left to break now?

{}

As I entered my room, a wave of nostalgia hit me like a truck. A room that made me overjoyed and filled me with all sorts of hope. It provided me with that comfort that nothing could give...

I fell on my bed with a thud, my eyes practically burning due to all the crying and stuff. I should probably take a rest for now...

Just as I turned my head to embrace deep slumber, a pamphlet came into my view. Hm? Is that from my school?

Holding it up for a clearer view, I read it. 'School Trip To The Hills! To register, fill in the form below on the school's site below. Last date: 15th.'

15th?

Isn't today like the 13th?

I closed my eyes trying to ignore it all but a sudden click in my brain made me wonder hard.

Shall I go? It may help me from removing my mind for a few days... The best part is that it is a camping trip for 3 days. An escape from all the troubles...

Opening the name list, I scrolled further to find any familiar names. It would be fun indeed but having company wouldn't hurt, right?

My fingers stopped when I saw the last three names.

'Jisoo'

'Jimin'

'Taehyung'

Huh? All the dumb ones? Ugh... Except for Jimin, of course.

Shall I enroll myself...?

Whatever. Jimin will be there so, it'll be fun. I just might go.

Tapping in my name in the list with a hint of reluctance, I finally pressed the tick mark.

I hope this becomes a memorable trip...
