♡——♡
{Suprise}
♡——♡

The next few days were the most dull ones ever.

You don't know how and why.

This was the normal thing, this is what you did everyday.

Everyday before I met Hoseok.

You tried your best to ignore him.

You tried your best to forget him by thinking of the moment how he just gave up after a few words from Jimin.
That day, when you reached home, you cried while hugging Jungkook and Jimin.

The next day, Jennie, Rosé, Lisa and Jisoo came and consoled you.

Overall, this week, all you did was be back to your normal routine.

Roaming around the campus, now you don't find Tzuyu anywhere, she was behind bars anyways.

The campus kept on moving.

The whole world.

But you couldn't.

Now Jungkook go freely wherever he wished.

Jimin didn't dare to go on a shoot that was too far until he made sure your feelings for Hoseok died down.

Your baes were now performing songs, composing, writing and singing. Lisa and Jennie would rap, while Rosé and Jisoo would sing.

They were preparing for the annual function of your college, as it was one of the Seoul's biggest college's function.

You?

Barely living.

You were angry, sad, broken.

You couldn't believe that your first ever love was taken away the moment it got to you.

Whenever you think of that moment, your eyes get teary, and you would break down.

Like promised, Jimin and Jungkook would always be there.

Jungkook always brought home chocolate donuts for you on his way back from school.

Jimin would help you with your homework and studying.

They were the only reason you came back.

That's why you didn't mind.

But it was killing you from inside.

I miss him.

I can't stop thinking about his horse face.

The way his face would shine when I would look at him.

The way I woke upto him everyday.

The way he would whisper sweet nothings in my ear.

The way he would kiss the hell out of me.

The way he would always make me feel like I am the best girl ever when we would make love.

I...fell for a bad guy....but what was so wrong about him that he himself didn't trust him to love me.

You were brought back to reality by a hard slap on your back.

You look up-to see Jennie looking at you confused, and being her, the other three looking at you with sad gazes.

You look back to Jennie.

"Idiot, would you stop that? I don't want a mood kill here. We are enjoying. Come on, listen to this." she smiles.

You nod and close the notebook in your hand.

"Show me what you got." you smile.

Currently, you were in the house where the girls stayed at.

You were allowed by Jimin to stay here, but you didn't since you knew Jungkook would be alone at Jimin didn't really get that much time.

They had all kind of instruments. They really loved singing and dancing. They even want to debut. That's why they chose performing arts but you chose photography.

You had a emotional attachment to photos, that's why you took photography. Because photographs hold memories, and you cherished memories.

Maybe that's why you couldn't let go of Hoseok.

Jennie smirks.

"You gonna be weeping after listening."

Lisa laughs and plays the track they prepared.

You were in a 'awe'.

"What's this called?" you gasp when Jennie starts rapping.

"Wait, did you just say Got them begging give me some more?" you laugh.

"The song is Whistle and heck yeah, we are punks." Jennie snickers.

You shake your head.

"Wow, Rosé and Jisoo you guys have the best vocals ever. And Jennie and Lisa, you guys are the nastiest rappers ever."

Lisa shows you middle finger and you gasp.

"So. What about that sweet song I told you to write?" she asks and you look down.

"I-it's done."

They all cheer.

"Can we see it? Actually, we already have a tune ready for it. We just need vocals."

You show them your notebook.

"It's...Wow." They gasp.

You look down with a sad chuckle.

"I wrote it considering my feelings right now. Broken."

Jisoo looks at you with a sad smile.

"Hope not. That's a beautiful name."

You nod.

"'I hope you get someone better and be happy with them, but hope not to the point where you forget me'. Why would you feel like that, Ji-ae?" Lisa asks as she sits next to you.

You were a blink away from crying.

"H-Haven't you seen the news? It's everywhere. Jung Hoseok is together again with Choi Seohyun. He moved on." a lone tear escapes from your eyes.

Rosé and Jisoo were shocked.

Lisa was now hugging you, her eyes teary as well.

Jisoo was the only one who didn't react.

She knew about the news.

And also because she was the oldest.

"Hey, you two let go of each other. We will help you move on, Ji. You know, why don't you enjoy the function this weekend? I am sure you will feel refreshed." she smiles.

You nod.

"But it hurts...I love him! He was my first everything! My first ever love! Why do I always love those people who can't be mine? Why do people always leave me? Am I not worthy of anyone? Mom and dad left. Soon, Jimin and Jungkook would too. You guys wi-"

A tight slap against your cheek shut you up.

Everyone turned to glare at Jennie.

"You need to fucking stop mopping around and move on! If he really did love you, he will come back. Never heard of fake news? And about your parents, what's gone is gone. Jimin and Jungkook would die for you! How can you be so much negative?!"

"BECAUSE HE DIDN'T EVEN THINK TWICE BEFORE LETTING GO OF MY HAND! HE PROMISED HE WOULD NEVER LET GO OF ME!"

"Then he would come back." Jisoo grins.

"If he really loves you, he would come back. Now let's move on for now. Let's sing the vocals, I don't think she wrote rap anyways. Come on, distribute fast." she ushers everyone to change the topic.

You walk to the washroom, wash your face and by the time you returned, the recording already began.

[Play Hope Not by BLACKPINK]

You smile and look out the window whole the sang, slowly playing the lyrics in your mind.

Cool wind blowing sitting by the window
시원한 바람 부는 창가에 앉아

Looking at the distant sky I draw you
먼 하늘 바라보며 너를 그려 난
I can't help it, I'm a fool (Fool) (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
어쩔 수 없는 난 바보인가 봐 (바보인가 봐) (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

It doesn't change when the four seasons change
사계절이 바뀌어도 변하지 않아
Even if I regret it, it's no use
후회한 들 소용없다 해도

I tease you (I was wrong)
난 널 애타게 생각해 (I was wrong)

As if nothing happened
아무 일도 없는 것처럼

I'll smile if I meet you
웃어줄게 널 만나면
For you, I like pain
For you 난 아파도 좋아

While together
함께하는 동안

I only left you hurt
너에게 상처만 남겨준 나니까

But you the love you wanted
But you 네가 원한 사랑

Happy to meet someone better than me
나보다 나은 사람 만나 행복해

Not enough to forget me
날 잊을 만큼 만은 아니길
Sleepless night in that silent moonlight (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
저 고요한 달빛에 잠 못 드는 밤 (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

No matter how long you wait, you won't come
아무리 기다려도 넌 오질 않아
One shabby space next to me (one space) (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
내 옆엔 초라한 빈자리 하나 (빈자리 하나) (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I'm not alone anymore
난 더 이상 혼자가 낯설지 않아
Even if I regret it, it's no use
후회한 들 소용없다 해도

I tease you (Ooh, ah, I was wrong)
난 널 애타게 생각해 (Ooh, ah, I was wrong)

As if nothing happened
아무 일도 없는 것처럼

I'll smile if I meet you
웃어줄게 널 만나면
For you, I like pain
For you 난 아파도 좋아

I only left you hurt while we were together
함께하는 동안 너에게 상처만 남겨준 나니까

But you the love you wanted
But you 네가 원한 사랑

Happy to meet someone better than me
나보다 나은 사람 만나 행복해

Not enough to forget me
날 잊을 만큼 만은 아니길
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (만큼 만은 아니길)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (만큼 만은 아니길)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I still can't forget you here
여전히 이곳에서 널 잊지 못해
For you, I like it even though it hurts (yeah)
For you 난 아파도 좋아 (yeah)

I only left you hurt while we were together
함께하는 동안 너에게 상처만 남겨준 나니까

But you the love you wanted
But you 네가 원한 사랑

Happy to meet someone better than me
나보다 나은 사람 만나 행복해

Not enough to forget me
날 잊을 만큼 만은 아니길

Tears made their way to your eyes as you looked out the window once again and to the shinning stars, which made you remind of the day you almost got raped.

How Hoseok came and protected you.
How the moon and the stars shinned that day when you two made love.

You close your eyes.

Please come back Hoseok.

Finally, it was the day of the function.

You were in your house, in front of your vanity, looking at your attire.

Denim shorts, white top, and a red jacket on top with black ankle length converse and a high ponytail with a red bow near the tie.

You smile.

Hoseok loved wearing these kind of clothes.

Your eyes get teary again.

But I am gonna forget about him.

I am gonna move on from today.

This moment is the last time I am thinking of you.

I have a life.

I need to move on.

I loved you, Hoseok.

Will probably till I find someone again.

Thanks for being a part of my life.

Thank you for teaching me that everything isn't a fairy tale.

Reality hits like a brick on the face.

You smile for the last time and step out of your room, only to be shocked by seeing a stern Jennie in front of you.

"W-What are you doing here?! Aren't you supposed to be at college preparing?! It's already 8:30pm!" you yell at Jennie enters your room and shoves you against the wall.

You look up at her with wide eyes.

"Jen?" you squeak.

She was angry.

"Where are Jimin and Jungkook?" she asks.

You gulp.

"They went for a brother Day out since I was going to the function. W-Why?"

She nods.

"I am gonna say this once, so listen carefully." she hisses.

You nod.

"Grab some clothes. You are staying with us for a few days."

You gasp.

"But Jimi—"

"GO! WE ARE LATE!"

"OKAY OKAY, DON'T SHOUT! DEAD CELLS ARE COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!"

Jennie was stunned.

"How can dead cells come out of someone's mouth?" She shakes her head.

You grab four pairs of clothes and Jennie stuffs them in a bag.

"Let's go!" She ushers you out the house.

Before you left the house, you see a glimpse of a person sitting in the drawing room.

"Who was that? Jennie, what's going on?"

Jennie throws you in the car.

Jisoo and Lisa were there.

"Where is Rosè?" You ask.

"Oh, yeah. She is already there. Lisa, where is Taehyung?" Jennie asks Lisa.

Lisa smirks.

"Look in front."

Your breath hitches as your eyes got blinded by the bright lights shinning from the car in front of yours.

"Taehyung? What about him?"

"Did he get Jungkook?" Jisoo ignores you.

"Yes."

"Is that Taehyung?!"

Jennie nods.

"Yeah bitch, my man."

"YOUR MAN?!" You yell.

"I will tell you later. Now, Jisoo move!"

Jisoo hits the accelerator pedal and the car roars to life.

It was like a race.

"What's wrong?!" You grip the seats.

"We are running from Jimin tonight. Jungkook is with us."

You don't ask further.

"Where are we going?" Nevermind what I said up there.

"We have a surprise for you. I think we should exchange passengers here."  
Jisoo says.

Both the cars stop and Jennie steps out as well as Taehyung.

He grins.

"Jenn-"

"Not now, Tae. First things first."

Taehyung pouts.

"Okay, I need a long ass explanation later. Now, what's g-Kookie!"

Jungkook steps out of Taehyung's car and runs over to you.

"Noona! What's going on?" He asks you.

"Hey, Koo!" Lisa exclaims.

Jungkook grins.

"Hey, Li."

"You are coming to our annual party with us!"

Jungkook was over the could nine.

"What about Jimin Hyung?"

"He isn't coming. He is busy." Jisoo steps out of the car. "Hey, Bunny."

"Hey, alien."

"Honestly, fuck you."

"Ji-ae, go with Tae." Jennie starts dragging Jungkook and ushers him inside the car.

Taehyung drags you.

You flinch.

You weren't comfortable to anyone's touch after the Jaesuk incident. The only ones you were open with were Jimin, Jungkook, Baes and....Hoseok.

Taehyung notices and let's go of your hand.

You don't know why though, but for a moment, pity and recognition flashes across his eyes.

He smiles and opens the car door for you.

"Come on, let's go to your surprise."

You stare at him for a moment before whispering.

"I trust you, Taehyung. Jimin trusts you too."

His eyes flash sadness before he is grinning.

"Believe me, I am the best when It comes to trusting."

You grin.

The drive starts.

"Okay, where are we going?"

Taehyung smiles.

"You said this is starting of your new session right?"

You nod.

"Yeah."

"So, we are gonna start this session in a new way. By the way, you look cute."

You chuckle.

"Thanks. Now, Jennie is your..?" You raise a brow as he blushes at his name.

"Girlfriend."

And you scream.

Taehyung loses control over the car before he is back on track. Thank God it was a empty road.

"Woman, you have a shrill voice like Jimin! Jesus!" He grumbles.

"Sorry, but wow! The Kim Taehyung loves an average college girl! Wow!" You chuckle.

He looks at you with a sad smile.

"And The Jung Hoseok loves an average college girl too. Wow."

You look out the window.

"Maybe."

"It's true."

"I don't think so."

"We'll see about it."

The car ride was about Jimin and Taehyung during work and how they met and became best friends.

Suddenly, Taehyung stops the car in front of a large gate, which was in a area with trees covered everywhere.

In middle of nowhere.

"What's this place?" You mumble and get out of the car.

Taehyung steps out and stretches.

"Kim Manor."

You raise a brow.

"So why am I here? Shouldn't I be at my Park residence?"

Taehyung chuckle.

"Unless you want this long ass ride to be wasted."

"Okay, okay. Now why are we here?"

Taehyung stands in front of you and holds your hand.

You look at him in confusion.

"Remember, Jimin loves you. He cares for you. He is your brother. Your only parent. That's why he took you away from Hoseok. If he knew that you are happy with him, he would have wanted this too."

You look him in the eye.

It's better not be what I think it is.

"Your best friends did this for you. They couldn't see you break anymore. Neither could I see my brother drown. So that's why, we did this."

"Taehyung, get to point." You were breathless.

"Turn around, sweetie."

He slowly turns you around and you gasp.

Shit....

"Why?" You ask Taehyung.

"Because you both deserved it."

There stood a person, in black attire, black hair parted, eyes wide, heart shaped lips parted, and posture frozen.

There stood the person for whom you swore to die for.

Your man.

Jung Hoseok.

"What are you doing here, Kim?" Jimin sneers as he enters his living room.

The sat, the sassiest man alive, Kim Seokjin.

Jin brushes his jeans and stood ups to face the fuming mochi.

Unlike Jimin, he was calm.

A bit too much.

"Nice to meet you too, Park." He remarks sarcastically.

Jimin groans.

"Jin, if you are here for something else than my sister, you are most welcome."

For a moment there, Jin stills.

Okay, so this mochi is dangerous.

"Why are you such a nuthead, Jimin? Can't you see that you are making two people suffer?"

Jimin rolls his eyes.

"Come on, Jin. Hoseok and love aren't a good match."

Jin huffs.

"What about your sister?"

Jimin's eyes darken.

"That's my responsibility. And that means to protect her from every kind of monster."

"What?"

"Hoseok is a monster. He will hurt my sister's feelings."

Jin's eyes darken.

"Hoseok is the sweetest person alive! Don't act like you know him better than I do!"

Jimin shuts up.

Jin's eyes soften.

"Hoseok is my brother just like Ji-ae is your sister, Jimin. Whatever kind of person he maybe, but he is my responsibility too."

Jimin's eyes soften too.

The pain of a sibling, only these kind of people could understand.

"Just give him one chance. He deserves it. He has faced many problems in life, so many that he left his hope. Hope for nice things. He is so broken. I...I can't see him like this. Ji-ae must be like that too."

"No."

"Stop lying!" Jin yells.

Jimin looks down.

"You know how much your sister is suffering too! I am telling you Jimin. Let them be for once, it will all be in a fair way."

Jimin looks at him.

"And if I don't?" He asks almost breathlessly.

"Depends." Jin swallows.

Jimin narrows his eyes.

"Where is my sister, Kim?" He asks slowly.

Jin rolls his eyes.

"How can I know? I want your answer, Park."

Jimin looks around the house before sighing.

"No. Not until Ji-ae focuses on her career."

Jin looks at him for a moment before sighing.

He takes out his phone and dials Taehyung's number.

Jimin watches with a raised brow.

"Tae? How is the situation there?"

"Uh...why?"

Jin looks Jimin in the eye, almost saying I warned you with eyes.

"Plan 2, take Ji-ae and Hoseok away from Jimin's reach."

"On it."

And Jimin snaps.

"What?! Kim Seokjin I will sue you!" Jimin roars.

"I warned, Jimin. I did."

Taehyung looks at the awkward couple before sighing.

I am gonna die.

Jimin's birthday is coming, so is a special update of Love, Eternal.

Huehuehuehue...

Aurora.
