Chapter 18

Yoona's POV


I walked away while wiping my tears. I was on my way back home, consoling my self, telling myself "he is not worth it, I deserve better, I won't cry anymore"


"Popular girls and their tantrums? How could he say that?" I muttered to myself.


I was lost in my thoughts with my head hanging low when I bumped into someone. I bowed and mumbled a 'sorry' and tried to walk away. I felt a hand encircle my fist, stopping me.


"Yoona?"


I looked up to see a concerned Taehyung looking straight into my house, I mumbled a 'hey' and looked at him with my red swollen eyes.


"What's wrong? Did you cry?" He asked with worry inscribed in his face.


"I guess I did. I and Jimin Oppa just had a fight, again" I said, emphasizing the word 'again'


"Oh... it may sound weird coming out of his best friend's mouth, but believe me he is not the one for you, you deserve much better, someone like me who will love you and treat you much better"


The latter part of his statement made you look at him in disbelief.


"I kinda like you, it's been quite sometime" he said with a nervous face.


Your face turned pale unable to process the words. You looked at him, his sincere eyes, and said,


"Oppa...I still love Jimin a lot"


"Even after he cheated on you?" He asked, partially scoffing.


"We have no solid proof!"


"You are blind Yoona! You were the one who told me he takes out his pressure on you"


"Yeah, he does, so do I. It's called venting out, but sometimes he gets angry that I never understand him, that's what made me feel awful. He handles my mood swings and tantrums. That's just how we look after each other, by being there by each other at all times. You seem to be trimming statements just to support your words"


"Fine, whatever. Wait over here, I'll come back. I have a call to make" he said and fled, he came back with a weird satisfaction clear on his face.


"I think I'll take a leave," I said trying to walk away.


"Oh, don't worry I'll drop you, in my car"


"You will? Just the two of us?" I asked as I raised a brow.


"Yes! Do you mind?"


"N-no"


That was followed by Taehyung kidnapping me, Taehyung compelling me to accept his heart, followed by him threatening to kill Jimin in front of my eyes. It all happened so fast...


I wasn't sure if this was a nightmare or a mere daydream or just a walk through the memory lane that was full of hollow pits. Some information that was old and abandoned from my memories somehow found their way back.

Author's POV


Hoseok, Jin and Yoongi looked at the sleeping Jimin in disgust as you chewed onto your food, you had been awake for quite some hours now. While Jimin who was once sedated to control his rage was still fast asleep in a hospital bed just beside Yoona in her VVIP ICU ward.


"You had your head cut open and sewed again but you are awake but this asshole is still sleeping," Hoseok said with a scoff.


"It was the just lower back of her head, right?" Yoongi asked you


Jin clicks his tongue in disbelief, "This is what I was talking about Yoona, he just looks for opportunities to show off his non-existent intelligence" Yoongi just sighed.


"Just wake this guy up" he groaned as he plopped onto the couch behind him.


"Maybe he is just being a sleeping beauty, go kiss him Yoongi," Jin said as he winked at Yoongi.


"Now that's the dumbest thing you said in the last two minutes" Yoongi replied sarcastically.


"Guys stop bickering already!" Hoseok calmed the fighting men.


"Oh! Oppa he is moving!" You exclaimed, all heads turned towards Jimin, who woke up in the most dramatic way possible, his eyes fluttering to adjust to the lighting, he lifted himself up with his arms weakly and sat straight up and muttered a "what place is this? Where am I?"


"It could've been heaven but sadly Jin hyung is there so..." Yoongi remarked smugly.


"Woah~ how can you be so disrespectful to your hyung?" Jin replied in disbelief.


Jimin looked to his side to see Yoona, who was laughing at the elder males and then at him, a wave of relief spread through his body as he almost cried out of happiness. He didn't think before rushing over to her and hugging her tightly.


Hoseok didn't say anything and just pulled Jin and Yoongi outside to give the couple some privacy.


He pulled back from the hug, his hands now clutching onto yours. He stared at you, analyzing every single feature of your face, relieved that you were safe and sound.


"You are alright!" He said as he kissed your cheek affectionately and then went back to the always worried boyfriend.


"Does your head hurt?" He said as he examined your head and the plaster above your neck with concerned filled eyes. You stopped him and held his hands, to get his attention, you looked into his eyes and said,


"Oppa, I have something to tell you," you said with a smile.


"Go ahead, honey" he replied as he affectionately caressed your check with a fond smile.


"This might sound really random. I know you didn't complete the story but the princess truly loved the knight, she would have never left him behind, in the first place, even if God wanted her to," You said as you looked into his eyes.


This statement took Jimin by shock, he looked clueless and confused, "Wait, you mean the princess and the knight story I told you that day? Wait a fucking second, YOU REMEMBER THAT?"


"Yeah, it's strange right? The doctor said some familiar stimuli trigger a similar response, which-"


"I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID! YOU SERIOUSLY REMEMBER EVERYTHING?!" He screamed. He seriously couldn't believe his ears. You getting back your memories was something Jimin only dreamt about.


"Yes, everything you ever told me, the embarrassing kisses, the confession, the amusement park date, the tteokbokki stall, the accident...every single piece of it. Even the teeth-bumping kiss dare at Hobi oppa's birthday party"


He himself couldn't believe that a single piece of an embarrassing memory would make him feel like the happiest person alive. "OH MY GOD! YOONA REMEMBERS EVERYTHING!" He hugged you again.


"YAH PARK JIMIN! STOP SCREA-" Yoongi scolded as he barged into the room along with Jin and Hoseok, the nurse was angry at the amount of noise pollution this male was causing, moreover, it was time to drag Jimin out as the the doctors wanted to examine the patient.


"Now you sound like drunk Yoona" Jin commented, a roar of laughter echoed across the room, it actually sounded similar.


You just frowned at them teasing you and your drunk state. After the laughs settled down,


"GUYS, YOONA REMEMBERS EVERYTHING!!" Jimin exclaimed again.


"We know," Hoseok said with a monotonous tone.


"You do? Then why didn't I know?" He asked with a little frown plastered on his face.


"Who told you to sleep for 8 hours straight?!" Jin counter-questioned.


"I WAS POISONED BY THAT DOCTOR!"


"Sedated," you corrected, making him frown more.


"Stop being a sulky kitty and let's celebrate!" Jin suggested


"In 3 days..." You said


"Why?" Jimin questioned


"That's when I'll be discharged"


"What?! Why?" He wailed.


"Because I had a surgery, there are some procedures that follow a surgery," You said as Jimin pouted and pulled you to his chest, wrapping his arms around you. He was being really clingy today, you did complain though.


"Oh, and I forgot to tell you, Taehyung confessed his crimes," Jin said.


The whole room went dead silent, everyone now knew what all Taehyung had done, Woobin clearly explained every single detail and everyone was more than just angry at that one male.


You just sighed, "It's a happy ending Yoona," he said as he caressed your cheek and passed you a smile. You just nodded subtly against his chest as you continued to listen to his heart.


- The next day -


Jimin feed you even though your hands were perfectly functional but he just wouldn't stop babying. He would read you books and you both would talk for hours and hours. He and his dumb timer made sure you had a two-hour nap in the daytime and eight hours of sleep at night. You already felt all your worries were long gone.


The next day, the day you were supposed to be discharged, Jimin was gone. Leaving Woobin to your side who supposedly volunteered to help you.


"Hi, Yoona. I'm Choi Woobin" he introduced himself formally.


"I know" you replied, with a questioning smile, demanding the purpose of his visit.


"I'm here to clear all your doubts about anything that comes to your mind. Anything about your life. Anything about me, Minji or Taehyung. I have all the answers"


"Where's Jimin Oppa?" You asked as you sat straight on the bed.


"I saw that coming" he said as he placed the hospital food in front of you and handed you a pair of chopsticks.


"He had a important meeting to attend in Japan, so he left. Don't worry he'll be back in a few days"


"Few days?" You mumbled.


"Well, he is the CEO of the Park groups, he is a busy man" he said nonchalantly.


You were upset but you understood, in times to come, probably he'd be busy in his work and business trips and you'll be busy with your full-time hospital job. You sighed and thought, "he could've stayed till I got discharged"


"You can start questioning!" He said as he got ready to answer as he sat up straight on the armchair.


"How is your sister?"


"S-she is fine" He said, he was definitely taken aback. "Thanks to Jimin, he hired me in his company. I think I can pay her bills by myself now"


"Anything else?" He asked.


"Why did you kidnap me back then?"


"Taehyung paid me to. Actually, he was the epicenter of everything that I did. I was his puppet. I'm sorry Yoona,"


"I don't think I can forgive you yet, but I won't hold any grudges" you replied, your lives turned upside down because of his and Taehyung's actions. An apology can neither reverse all that nor can it heal your wounds.


"I can understand that, I hope you can apologise me" he said, you nodded and passed him a soft smile.


"Aren't you curious about Minji and the day when you thought Jimin had cheated?" He changed the topic.


"Go ahead, Tell me,"


~that day~


"What do you mean change in the plan? I'm so confused" Minji groaned.


"Yoona will be visiting Jimin today, in the afternoon. So, instead of anonymously mailing her the CCTV tape we can present a live show. But for that we need to get the perfect timing"


"How do you know she is going to visit Jimin?"


"I asked her out for a brunch, she spilt it all. She still thinks of me as a good friend, just a friend"


"She won't after you tell her about your plans"


"Did I ask for an opinion?" He scoffed.


She smirked as she thought about the plan and played it in her mind, "God, I can't wait to see her reaction. I've always hated her unlike you, may I ask why?"


"That shouldn't matter to you. All that should is the fact that I promise you your Jimin. You can have him all for yourself. All you have to do is follow my directions"


"What will I have to do?" she replied with determined eyes.


He let out a soft chuckle at how easily his plan was unraveling. "Meet Karen, she will send you constant messages about everything. She'll be in his secretary's cabin"


"I'll deal with his secretary. All you need to do is call Jimin and convince him"


"It was a scripted play, Taehyung wrote for making you his"


"So, you're telling me after all he did he just confessed his crimes out of nowhere?" You questioned.


"It was all that bottled up regret towards his own doings, he believed he did all of it because he just loved you death" he trailed off.


"I guess that's where the problem was, he misunderstood his obsession and competitiveness as love. When people shipped you, the most beautiful and perfect girl in the entire school with him, his status and image raised. He felt he was the only perfect guy out there but when Jimin entered the picture and you chose Jimin over him, it hurt his ego, creating all that jealousy and hate"
