Aoi's POV
"Where are you taking me now?" I wearily asked as Jimin's grasp on my hand caught my attention in a split second, "And why do you love holding my hand? That's so weird, seriously, it seems like you have a hand fetish. No wait, an Aoi hand fetish. You're lucky that I'm allowing you to hold my hand for long, usually I would karate chop someone." I blabbered to piss Jimin off, but he just remained quiet.
How is he quiet?
"Excuse me?? Earth to Jimin? Are you still alive bro?" I asked him and started snapping my fingers in front of his face to wake him up and bring him back to reality. He just cocked his head to the side and avoided my gestures. I put on a pout and sighed, where is he taking me now?
I then noticed that we were heading to an unexpected and unfamiliar route, to one of the newest attractions that I have heard of but never went to. After I saw the venue, I immediately halted in place, leaving Jimin baffled by spontaneous stop. After that, he stopped walking too and looked at me questionably. I cleared my throat once, because I'm obviously not a fan of public places with lots of people, colorful shades painted everywhere and bright lights.
"Why are we here?" I simply asked with a gulp.
We couldn't be in an amusement park, right?
I heard Jimin chuckle under his breath and shook his head, "We're not going in, silly. I know you hate these places. Joo-eun told me." He said, making me flinch at one of my closest friends' names, "This was the last place Yeon-joo was last seen happy. She went here on the same day as she killed herself, but what else do I know? I know I was the last one here with her, I at least made her happy for the last time, I guess."
He lifted his head up and I immediately spotted the tears forming near his eyes.
After hearing what he said, I directed my stare to the large entrance gate. It looked fun on the outside, and of course in the inside too. Maybe he understood that if he went in, we both wouldn't feel the fun, considering that the last memory of Yeon-joo lies here. Memories couldn't stop themselves from showing up at the supposedly great times, so maybe that's why. Maybe I somehow understand him now, because Yeon-joo filled a hollow space in my heart too.
She was a good friend and I was not.
"Jimin, we don't have to keep being here if it will just make you feel like this. We could go somewhere and be happier, I swear, everything would be fine. You don't have to keep going here." I tried to assure him and used both of my hands to hold his arm and gently attempted to push him away from the sight.
Why does he need to bring me around to witness everything?
To witness his sadness?
And bring back supposedly sad and thrown away memories?
"A whole part of me is crumbling apart, you know." He smiled at the ground, his eyes glistening with moisture, "Maybe if I could turn the world around, she could've lived, and maybe we could've been together. I could've treated her better than Jaehyun." His voice faded into a whisper.
A soft pang of jealously hit me deep inside and made me feel uncomfortable.
"Jaehyun?" I still don't get how these things are connected, how did he know who my classmate was? From when he brought me to the library, then to the coffee shop, and saw my classmate there having some coffee, how are these things all connected? "By Jaehyun do you mean..."
"My brother," He stated to clear things out, making my eyes widen in surprise
Wait, no other Jaehyuns? Not the Jaehyun I know? My classmate? His twin's name is Jaehyun?!
Two Jaehyuns? And both are jerks?
Geez.
"He was the one who fucked my relationship up with Yoko, the reason behind Yeon-joo's depression, and the guy who wanted you all by himself. Now that he finally got the chance to get closer with you, he obviously still wanted to use my image to confuse you and even thought of using Yoko to draw you closer to him, but it's not working." His sad tone completely disappeared after a few seconds, turning into a more serious one.
Wait, I don't get it.
Why does everyone like me? I know I'm basically 'perfect' but still.
"What?" I asked him. "So Jaehyun is the name of your brother too? I thought it was someone else, another Jaehyun, the one that I know! How about the cafe incident though? I saw my classmate there, not anyone else with the same face as you. I thought you were mad at my classmate, and that's a strange coincidence. What the hell, I almost attacked him." I shouted in acknowledgment. He furrowed his eyebrows.
So the Jaehyun I know is innocent or??
"What are you talking about? I saw my brother in that cafe too. He was the one I was talking about, Aoi." He replied and gave me a questioning look but I just shrugged. He then sighed.
"Anyways, that's what I was talking about. Jaehyun wanted to hurt you. He has his own destruction plan that I don't understand. I loved Yeon-joo, and he got her, made me more jealous than anything. But what made me more upset when he started to toy with her, and used her to get closer to you. That's what I was saying, he liked you but I'm sure that he could get bored of you easily, no matter how beautiful and unique you are. He ruined my relationship with Yoko by pretending to be me because he thought it would be funny to, and now he's only trying to get back with her as me to make you run after 'me', because he thought.. he thought that you liked me."
This is too overwhelming, like bitch slow the fuck down.
I was caught in a trance after trying to neatly connect things together in my head. But it seemed hopeless, every infirmation had been scattered around, or maybe I'm just dumb. He cleared his throat this time. "I know it's baffling, but wait a minute. Let's go somewhere else. And you're right anyways, it's stupid getting reminded of what hurts you, I'm sorry." He apologised.
Yes, you are, Jimin, you're stupid.
"Have you eaten lunch yet?" He then asked immediately. I shook my head as a response and my face lit up.
"No, of course, if that's an invitation for food then of course! That would be good, fam, just please. I'm hungry, Rina didn't feed my ass when we got to the bus stop." I then whined like a kid, He just give me a small eyesmile, and I could tell that he was probably amused by me.

After arriving at a noodle shop and taking our seat, I didn't hesitate to ask him a question right away just after a few minutes of thinking. "Jimin," I called out and caught his attention in a snap. "So, about your twin, why are you following his orders? Why can't you mind your own life and he minds his?" I hurriedly asked, I just really wanted the answer.
And then I noticed his sudden change of facial expression. His forehead creased and his eyebrows furrowed, tension probably building up his insides that's why he had that almost scornful expression on his face. "It's because I had to do it, to conceal and make up for everything I've turned into shit before. Don't ask anymore, okay?"
"What? What were those?" I asked.
He breathed through his nose. "I told you not to ask anymore," He then said through gritted teeth, his knuckles turning into white after clenching his fists. "I tend to forget my limits, I get extremely possessive, I get mad at the strangest things, I shout at people for stupid reasons, and those habits of mine are all just for starters. I could go past those." He continued.
I rose an eyebrow, "What? You don't need to tell me all those, and I'm not that surprised, love." I laughed, "What do you want me to say, 'congratulations, you're human' and praise you for being imperfect?" I then asked.
His sharp gaze turned to me, "A lot of the things that make me up aren't nice, Aoi."
I gave him a weirded out look and leaned on my seat, "Not nice huh, Jimin? What do you want me to do, be scared? Well, you were the one who told me that you don't need to be nice to be liked by anyone. And I like you, Jimin. I mean, you poured some bubbletea on me, and that was a very douchey thing to do, but I still liked you. See?" I then faked a yawn.
His eyes widened after my sudden 'confession', "What.. what did you just say?"
"You heard me, fucker, I like you. Don't act as if it's a sign of something further than that, but not. And mostly, don't act like a fifth grader and think of it as a big dealio when it's not."
