Right
You were sitting at the corner of your room, in the dark despite the fact that it was day time. You had pulled the dark-colored curtains closed and you had even placed a carpet to stop the light from coming inside by the small crack under the door.
You just needed some time alone. You needed to disappear. Yet you knew that such a thing was not possible. However, you were thankful that today no one was going to interrupt you by knocking on your door, asking if you will go eat. Your parents were off to the city for a monthly refill on supplies that you may need in the house. They went once a month as the supermarkets in the city were more affordable in prices than the small shops around here.
Thanks to that, your morning wasn't disturbed. Not that you had slept much yesterday night but at least the extra questions on why you were in a bad mood and if something had happened, would be avoided.
You knew you couldn't stay inside forever though and that's why you were standing at the corner at that exact moment, observing the text that DaeHo had sent you some minutes ago, letting you know that they had arranged to gather at the playground tonight, to talk about the situation and try to find who may be the person behind this all.
You weren't surprised that they had called for a meeting however you were unsure, if it would a good idea of you to go alone since you were suspicious according to them and they may try anything that you may not like. Despite that, though you had no one to take with you and let him stand on stand by just in case something was to happen. Or better said, you had someone in mind but you weren't sure if it would be a good idea to involve him.
You stood up and approached to your window, carefully peaking outside. The light made your eyes hurt and pull back for a moment then your vision got adjusted to the change and you were soon able to see the mechanic shop right ahead and Jungkook who was running by the entrance, up and down, doing some physic exercises since he must be bored. The car in which you had worked with him some days prior, was no longer there which meant that the owner might have come and picked it up and since no other car was currently there, he had nothing to work on.
You observed him for a while as he continued on to do some push-ups and then stood up and took off his shirt before proceeding to approach near the right side of the gate were he had left a towel and a bottle of water. He placed the towel on his head and started gulping down the water till the bottle was empty then he turned around to go inside, probably to take a shower after that workout. However after he took some steps, he turned around to your surprise and gazed towards your window. You pulled yourself away quickly, thankfully not moving your hand which would have also created a motion to the curtain and would have exposed you. Your heartbeat sped up as he kept looking then he gazed down, looking somehow disappointed.
As he went away from your sight, you couldn't help but think if you were really behaving right with him. You had kissed him and then screamed at him to get out on the same day. If he was nothing but an innocent guy that has nothing to do with your crazy suspicions then you definitely were being too harsh with him. However, it wasn't easy to approach him either. Despite what he was or what he wasn't there was one thing that was for sure and that was the simple fact that you were in no situation to worry and think about his or anyone's feelings right this moment.
You had your life to worry about. A life that was in danger from that unknown person as well as from your own self.
---Time skip---
Night was ready to fall as you stepped out of your house having left behind two pleased parents that were happy to finally see you getting out of your room to meet up with your friends, as you had told them. However, opposite to their delight, you were scared. Nonetheless, you knew well that you couldn't go because that would make you more suspicious and they may end up targeting you.
You took a deep breath before proceeding to take steps away from your house, your headphones on with music blasting in an attempt to calm your nerves and make you feel less of like a person who was going to get slaughtered.
The songs played in your ears without you giving any special notice to which song was which as your feet kept taking you to your destination however once you reached too close to the playground, you couldn't help but feel your breathing start to become tormenting. Despite that you still forced yourself to pass that corner and walk into the playground with a bit of speed then you halted your feet as you found no one there.
You looked around before proceeding to take your phone and check if you had arrived too early or you had misread the time but as soon as you opened the screen you discarded of the first option as you were right on time and as you checked again the text of DaeHo you reassured that you hadn't made any mistake. You questioned inside why had none of them appeared yet and for some reason an uncertain feeling started rising inside you, making you get chills all over your body.
The music was still playing in your ears yet you felt as if someone was behind you and you froze in place, afraid to turn around. Your heartbeat started speeding up out of fear till you felt your headphones being pulled off of your ears, thing that made you turn around and jump away.
Jungkook gave you a confused expression as you did so then he smiled at your terrified expression.
"Did I scare you? Sorry." He laughed a bit as you just exhaled in relief, feeling as if your heart almost gave up on you.
"Just what are you doing here?" You asked him after you gathered yourself a bit then he walked over to the swings that were there and took a seat on one, without bothering to give you a reply.
You followed his actions and took a seat at the swing next to his then looked at the front, thinking of what would be good to say at this moment. He shouldn't be here because if your friends were to come and find him here they would think that you brought him along and that would create problems and doubts if you might have said something to your supposed boyfriend.
"Can we talk?" His question got your attention and you looked at him only to be shocked as you saw your diary laying on his lap.
"Surprised, I know." He said as he grabbed it and reached it out to you and you stared at him for a moment, caught unprepared by all this then you quickly took it away from his hold and stood up.
"How dare you?! Why do you even have this?! How did you get this?! You better not have read it otherwise-" You threatened at that moment of panic and Jungkook looked up at you with a smirk on his face.
"Otherwise what? We both know that you aren't in any position to threaten me. I believe it's the other way around." He looked so calm and casual as he spoke making you close your mouth and think for a moment about the grave situation you were in.
"You are the one who is sending threatening texts, aren't you?" You asked him even though deep inside you already knew the answer.
"Are you really that surprised that it's me? " He said and you stood quite realizing that you weren't that much because you had your suspicions but still you just can't think of a reason why he would do this or better said the reason you had thought of was too crazy to be real but it was also too scary to face.
"It's been a long time since we last saw each other Y/N. You should greet properly your old classmate" Jungkook smiled before he stood up and took some steps closer to you who were now frozen, looking at him with widened eyes.
No way he was saying the truth. He had died and you with your class were all at his funeral. There was no way he would be back, standing right before your eyes. The person whom you were most sorry towards and to whom you had no way of ever apologizing to that it would be enough.
"Are you really..him?"You mumbled back in shock as your hand reached towards him unconsciously and grabbed on his arm, in an attempt to make your mind understand that he was real however your hand was pushed away by force, startling you and bringing you back to your senses.
"I am gonna give you a chance to save yourself Y/N. I will give you a chance to do the right thing."He looked at your eyes with an expression that made you understand that he was serious. You weren't sure of what he was thinking or of what he was planning to do but you were sure that you didn't want to live like this anymore.
This fear inside, this agonizing torture, and the guilt that was eating you up each day more. How much longer would you be able to live with it?
"W-What do you want me to do?"
"Whatever you consider right. Your life as well as theirs is in your hands Y/N. Think it through."
