25. the bad guy.
A/N: I told a few of you about this but I actually got Aoi's name from a Japanese exchange student (who I will never see again, sadly) and she's very quiet, nice and she nods her head instead of speaking 1018292929% of the time lmao. The irony.
AND ALSO, WHAT'S JIMIN AND AOI SHIP NAME HELP ME!!11!1!
Jimin's POV
I ruffled my hair in frustration as I laid on the couch with my arms spread out wide and my feet resting on the small table in front of the TV. My gaze was on the lightbulb hanging in the ceiling as I let thoughts wander around my head.
The moment I was about to close my eyes, I suddenly heard a loud creak coming from the front door a few meters behind me, followed by the rustle of the wind. Footsteps trailed inside and the person behind me slammed the door with lots of force.
I refused to turn my head around because I knew who it was.
"Jimin, your girl is smart as hell isn't she? Or is she just dumb enough that you need to spill everything to her?" I heard him ask with a sickening tone, the fury in his voice evident.
Why does he have to bring Aoi up all the time?
"She's not my girl, Jae, I don't want to talk about Aoi anymore okay?" I irritatedly hissed and almost buried myself deep on the sofa as I leaned on it.
I really don't want to talk about that girl today, it would frustrate me to think about her even more. And to think that she used to be the reason my school life was hell back then.
No, Jimin, it was the Aoi back then, right?
But she's still the same.
"You're a jerk, Jimin, what the actual fuck is wrong with you huh? Don't you like Aoi anymore? Don't you want to 'keep her to yourself' and treat her as someone valuable? You do know that it's her birthday today, right? And you actually planned on not going to school?" He asked me in a disturbed tone and walked right in front of me while I continued to stay silent.
"Answer me, Jimin, or else-" He attempted to threaten and I immediately stood up from my seat, pushing him hard on the chest.
"Or else what? Are you going to use your rubbish threats against me again? I don't know that you could stoop down even lower than before to try and ruin me again. I know fucking well that it's Aoi's birthday today. Guess what? Big deal," I sneered with a sarcastic smirk. He just shot me a look of disbelief.
"Why don't you care? I would expect you to care the most, because we both know that there's this thing going in between you two."
He just gotta mention it.
"There's none," I chuckled amusingly at his stupid statement, "And if I were to officially start a relationship, she would refuse anyway."
I can't believe the way he acts, seriously.
"Isn't it ironic how you wanted Aoi to be yours instead of mine and now you're demanding an explanation if I still want her anymore. And good news! She's all yours buddy, because in the end I never get what I want. In the end you'll get your manipulative skills to try and set me up with Yoko again, which I don't want," I chuckled.
He was ready to punch me, I know it. But he fought himself and decided not to.
"Are you listening to yourself?" He shook his head slowly with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Yes, and I'm being realistic here. I don't want to do anything with Aoi anymore, I change my mind. The more I think about it, she'll easily get tired of me. I probably become too nice to her at times, and too annoying, some things that aren't me. I don't want to know more beyond what I already know about her. And I'm certain that Aoi isn't something else amazing and different- she's just Aoi," I said, my projected voice descending into a whisper.
Jaehyun just let out a scoff.
"Sometimes, you make me wonder why I'm stuck with a twin like you. You forced on everyone, including yourself that I'm the reason behind your relationship with Yoko going downhill, and the reason Yeon-joo died of depression. Have you forgotten everything, Jimin? Stop acting like you're smarter, because both of us know who's the bad guy," He plastered a small smile before giving me a sarcastic pat on the shoulder.
"First reminder, Park Jimin. You were the one who messed up your relationship with Yoko, you were hopelessly still in love with Yeon-joo, who wasn't yours at all. Yoko broke up with you because you were a jerk, and I had nothing to do with it," he laughed.
"Second reminder, the only reason Yeon-joo became depressed is you created a bad image of me. You wanted her to cry to you and you even made me seem like a player, an asshole who doesn't care about girls' feelings, when you're the one here who throw people away like it's nothing. Just like what you're doing to Aoi right now, and do you know what stopped me from trying to get you back?" He rose his eyebrow.
A pang of guilt made its way into my heart, but I held back all the urges of hitting him right in the face.
He took a deep breath, "It was because you're my twin brother, Jimin. You can forget and hate me all you want, but you can't deny the fact that we grew up together as mirrors of each other."
And that's when I lost it.
I loathe you, Park Jaehyun.

Aoi's POV
My lips formed a pout and I held a burp in, trying not to embarrass myself on the car seat. My stomach was completely filled, and I can barely move. I felt like I was five months pregnant because Jaehyun insisted to buy me a lot of street food near the streets and the markets.
That's all we did, a food trip of some sort. I don't want to call it a date but he kept on insisting it was, and I swear to God he bought and suggested everything for me. I think he spent a hundred thousand won today.
Like who does that?
This asshole has a sweet side?
"So, am I taking you home now?" He asked in a casual-sounding tone. I was about to protest something about his spontaneous kindness, but I instead nodded my head. Just as he was about to start the car engine I suddenly realized that I didn't want to go home. I just don't want to.
And then I remembered a specific someone.
"N-no, can you take me over to Miyun's? She's one of the closest friends of mine when I need help, this is her address," I asked in a slightly nicer tone than from four hours ago. I tapped the notes app and flashed him the address of Miyun written on it. "Can you take me here?"
He just gave me a stern look, "You imbecile. What am I? A taxi driver? I'm not doing that for free," Aaaaaand he's back.
I just pressed my lips in a tight line before speaking. "'Kay, fine then. You don't have to be a dick about it, I'll just get out of the car and try to find my way to her house then," I rolled my eyes and attempted to open the car's door until he grabbed my wrist.
"I was kidding, silly," He smiled, "Don't leave me, people might think you rejected me or something. I know where it is. I'll take you there, now get your ass back on the seat. I couldn't afford having you walk alone late at night," He continued, muttering the last words to himself.
"Wow, that was actually nice. If I liked you I would be touched," I scoffed. He scoffed back and muttered something even more difficult to decipher under his breath. "But really, thanks for not being an asshole for once. For some reason you actually made my day, I promise I'll pay you back everything you spent for me."
Did I just say thank you?
Holy shit Aoi did you just level up all of a sudden??
I still refused to look at him in the eye though, it hurts my ego to say thank you to someone who hates my guts to death.
"Whatever," He laughed, "I told you, everything's my treat. Only this once, you're lucky I have a soft spot for birthdays, I mean you looked like a frowning mess when I thought you couldn't get uglier than your normal face." And he's back again, again.
"Shut up and drive me to Miyun's!" I commanded and playfully hit him on the head, accompanied by a snicker.
