Dark Side (Kim Taehyung & Kim So Hyun)
Episode 22 - Punishment (2)

PREVIEW :

Jimin couldn't help his shock when someone broke his daydream on the roof of this school. He was surprised by the presence of a man he saw in the UKS with Dr Jung this afternoon. The smiling man with white teeth made no sound at all.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" jimin said loudly. However, the man only replied to her with a cunning ruckus voice.

Jimin stood up from his position and walked back with a hand that signaled the man to back off. However, the man who smiled cunningly did not bully her. He continued to step forward with both hands in his pants pocket.

Once again, Jimin backtracked. He also looked back instead so that he would not fall or have reached the end of the flat roof. He could not help but give a surprised and strange expression. The frown was even so visible.

"You heard everything, right?" In the end, the man stopped his footsteps. Then, open your mouth and ask a question that makes Jimin a little creepy.

"What...what are you saying? Listen what?" ask Jimin who was a little distracted.

The man smiled cunningly with a half sniff, "You are the one who was in front of the UKS earlier, right? You heard all my chatter with Doctor Jung, right? Don't think I didn't see you."

Jimin's eyes were slightly rounded. He could not believe that the man in front of him knew. In fact, he remembered very well that the man did not look at him at all.

Do not look, the two men's eyes just look at the interlocutor. Jimin slightly gulped his saliva to moisten his throat which felt very dry.

"You're the one there, right?" The man returned to the snarl.

Jimin adjusted his facial expression to make it look a little calm. However, it cannot. He exhaled, then answered the man's words. "How... You know?"

***

The man sniffed quietly. He also had a small chuckle to hear Jimin's question. The man took his hand out of his pocket, then said, "That's my secret. We just don't know each other yet. I'm Min Yoon Gi. The son of the principal."

"Cannot be. I remember very well that the principal doesn't have a boy like you." Jimin said quickly.

The man named Yoon-gi flicked his finger while returning a sly smile. He chuckled again like he was showing off his teeth, "Exactly. Your question is the same as your girlfriend at the time. I'm not the 'fixed' son of the principal. But, I'm just a 'temporary' kid" obviously the guy is relaxed.

"What's? So... You did it? You killed everyone who's been a mystery all along?" ask Jimin directly.

"You already know the answer." said Yoongi quickly.

"You're crazy! Why did you kill those innocent people?!" ask Jimin loudly.

"I killed him according to their request. The girl, Eun Soo, asks herself to die and follows her mother. Teacher Yoo who was a little stressed with his work also said the same. Eun Soo's mother said the same thing. Mi So also said that. I'm just doing my job." said Yoon-gi, glancing in one direction. He felt that someone was heading to his place right now.

Jimin was silent with a slightly stiff body. He was shocked when this man was the king of everything that happened, "Don't tell me you killed In Hyong too?!"

Yoon-gi looked back at Jimin with a sneaky smile, "That's true! You're a smart kid apparently!"

"You must have forced them to say it!" serdik Jimin who began to forget his surprise and fear.

"Said what? I didn't say anything to them. They said it themselves, you know? Why are you wasting your energy on that?" reply Yoongi cynical.

"I know you can play someone else's 'soul. You played their 'soul', right? You purposely did this to make So Hyun drop. You also used their 'soul' to haunt him. I know that!" sahut Jimin hard. He must fight the figure who has become the villain of all this.

"You're so great. Why are you so smart, Park Ji Min? Yeah, I played them all. Do you want to too? I can play your 'soul' anytime..."

"Do you want their bodies?!" jimin answered that question. He could not bear to see and hear the man.

"You want to know?" yongi asked with a mocking look. His eyeballs turned shiny instantly. "You really want to know?"

Jimin retreated his steps slowly, "Yes, sure." he replied a little hesitantly.

Yoon-gi flicked his finger slightly. Suddenly, a familiar girl in Jimin's eyes appears. Out of nowhere she came from, the girl appeared with both hands and feet tied up to make her curl up.

Jimin rounded his eyes when he saw the bound girl. It was the figure he was looking for the most.... Cha In - Hyong.

"You just ask him. He's the one you're looking for the most, right?" Yoongi's tone was indeed like insolent. His shiny eyeballs continued to stare at Jimin without blinking.

"In Hyong-ah!" peekik Jimin can't stand it. It was eager for him to run up to the girl tied to the big mine, but the instinct in him held her back.

"alright. I'll let it go." said Yoongi who then crouched down in front of In Hyong and untied all the ties of the big mine.

Unmitigated, instead of helping the girl stand up gently, Yoon-gi even grabbed the girl's hair to stand up with a strong compulsion.

"Keep your hands off her! You just hurt him!" cry out Jimin again. His two eyes could not help but stare at In Hyong who was covered in wounds. "Take off your trap!"

"Guild..." In Hyong let out a weak voice, leaving Jimin speechless. However, Yoongi did not remove the trap from the girl's hair. "I beg you to help me..."

Jimin couldn't help it. He clenched his hands tightly until his knuckles turned white. He also bit his inner lips hard. The man was too late to hurt the person he once liked. Or still arguably, Jimin still likes In Hyong.

Yoongi who was smiling cunningly, looked at Jimin who began to be provoked by his anger. He took advantage of this condition by pulling In Hyong's face in front of him.

Jimin could see what the two men were doing from where he was standing. They look like they're kissing. In fact, Yoon-gi just threw her gaze and gestured to In-hyong. At that moment, the girl's legs were squeezing. The girl fell down with her head lowered, making Jimin think more of a no-no.

"Well! It seems like he is tired." said Yoongi in a mocking tone.

"You take care of him. Enjoy your time. Happy reunion ria!" said Yoongi who walked towards the roof door of her school.

Jimin walked over to In Hyong's limp-looking body. In Hyong did not raise her head or move it in the slightest.

Jimin could not help his anger and annoyance, immediately pulled the girl to stand up, then hugged her. Yoongi casually watched all those sweet 'reunion' shows with a triumphant smile.

Unfortunately, his 'watching' event was interrupted by Namjoon's sudden presence opening the roof door. Quickly, Yoonghi drove off Namjoon's path. That extremely cunning smile of victory still adorned his face. Namjoon stops his steps when he finds that Yoon-gi is blocking him.

"I'm late, Namjoon-ssi." said Yoongi, who was still blocking the man's steps.

Namjoon couldn't help but stare at Yoongi. He tried hard to get rid of Yoon-gi from before him, then went to resuscitate Jimin. However, Yongi did not want to move. He punches Namjoon suddenly, then slaps him. Yoon-gi smiled with satisfaction, as she was sitting quietly on Namjoon's back.

"Let's see this 'reunion' show." Yoongi said with a pleased tone. However, it sounded very mocking in Namjoon's ears.

Namjoon seems like he can't do anything now. His body must win the weight of the body of Yoongi who was sitting on it relaxed. Both of his hands were also pulled back and held tightly by Yoon-gi. Currently only his legs and head can still be moved freely.

Jimin hugged In Hyong's body tightly and began to say something with a slow hissing. In Hyong who was hugged by Jimin could only cry without saying anything.

"I'm glad we could meet again. I thought you were dead." said Jimin, as he ended his embrace of In Hyong.

"Yes, me too." said In Hyong with his head still down.

"Cha In Hyong looks at me." said Jimin who grasped both hands gently In hYong. He was eager to meet this girl he still liked.

"No! Nay! Jimin-ah!" shouted Namjoon who shouted as loudly as possible.

Yoongi further tightened his grip to hold Namjoon's hand from escaping. Namjoon is still trying to release himself. Instantly, the sound of Yoongi's laughter resounded.

"You scream as loud as you can, they won't hear you" said Yoongi casually. He went back to watching a 'reunion' that was casually. It was like waiting for something to happen.

In Hyong never raised his head. Eventually, Jimin touches the girl's chin. Then, raise the girl's head to look at her straight.

When their gazes met, Jimin's body seemed to freeze. The girl looked at Jimin with a shady look, leaving Jimin speechless.

"alright. It's beginning. Namjoon-ah, you have to see this." said Yoongi along with his voice. However, Namjoon could only stare sadly at it.

"I.. I.." said Jimin stammering. For some reason, his tongue felt faint to answer the question of the girl he liked.

Suddenly, In Hyong drew closer the distance between them. The girl slightly tiptoed and pressed her lips closer to Jimin's.

"I like you." In Hyong said with a cold breath. Jimin froze. He could only stare at In Hyong's approaching face.

Namjoon kept dodging in order to let go of himself. He is eager to run there and slap Jimin to realize that in front of him is indeed In Hyong, but the 'other'.

Yoongi who felt that 'things' were about to happen, let Namjoon go. At that moment, Namjoon immediately got up and ran towards Jimin. But, something was hindering his footsteps.

"I'm jug... Akh!" screeched at Jimin with both eyes wide open.

"No! Jimin-ah!!" pekik Namjoon hard.

Yoon-gi smiled cunningly when she saw that. He chuckles happily. Then, In Hyong slightly turned towards her, then gave a small nod. Yoongi returned the nod to the girl's head with a thumbs up.

Feeling the task of 'punishing' Jimin was done, he turned his body and disappeared. Not only did Yoong Gi just disappear, In Hyong too.

"That's your punishment." said the crafty Yoon-gi, before he actually left and left the rooftop of the school.

***

The bandage was more than enough to treat wide scratches and bleeding.

Taehyung walked with the condition of his hands that had been wrapped in a bandage that was quite thick. Because he who does not stop banging on the wall, be a pretty fatal wound.

Luckily, the bone crack experienced is a light crack, so it can heal by itself. Thanks to the wound, Taehyung can also remove his frustration and disappointment. Yes, although not entirely the taste disappears.

He stepped his feet in the hallway of the 3rd floor casually. He had just completed the follow-up lesson which became his punishment for not attending lessons 1 to 4.

He was like the last student to come home. He rubbed his face a little frustrated followed by a dull sound. Not only there, he also had to kick the wall of the hallway for no reason.

As he resumed his footsteps towards the stairs, someone called out to him in a raucous voice. His voice sounded so familiar in Taehyung's eardrum. Taehyung stopped his footsteps, but he did not turn his back. He just scratched his tongue. He knew the owner of the voice. So Hyun's voice.

"Taehyung-ah." call So Hyun once again. The sound of crying as he hiccupped sounded very domineering.

Taehyung didn't say anything. He just exhaled his heavy breath and was about to step his foot again. However, a clutch of hands held him back from leaving. So Hyun pulled the sleeve of the male school suit tightly with a slightly shaking hand.

Taehyung stopped his steps again. And, letting the girl's trembling hand pull the sleeve of her suit. All he could do at this time to hold back his sense of regret was to exhale loudly, to make his shoulders rise and fall uncertain.

"Sorry.." So Hyun said slowly. "I'm sorry.... It was me who was lying to you. No, you're the one who lied to me. Please forgive me." The girl continued to apologize in a very hoarse voice.

Originally, Taehyung had only intended to get rid of the girl's hand and step away just like that. But apparently, that's not going to happen right now. He slightly clenched his uninjured hand when he heard So Hyun's apology. The throbbing in his other hand was felt even more, as he forced himself to clench his injured hand.

"I asked ma..." So Hyun could not continue his words, as Taehyung immediately turned his back suddenly.

The man looked at So Hyun annoyed. That cold annoyed look was so piercing in So Hyun's eyes. To the extent that, he could see his reflection in Taehyung's eyeballs. For a moment, they exchanged looks and fell silent. Then, it ended with Taehyung's breath.

"You go.." said Taehyung. "You just go with that man."

So Hyun wiped his still flowing tears, "What do you mean?"

"You solve your own problems. Don't ever see me again. I'm tired of helping you." Taehyung said, which sounded vague.

"Why?" asked So Hyun hoarsely.

"Because you already have a real bodyguard, right? You lied to me too. Why would I help a liar." Taehyung replied with great emphasis on the word 'liar.

So Hyun could not hold back his tears anymore. Taehyung was really upset with her.

As So Hyun fell silent, Taehyung immediately turned his back on his body again. He felt that there was nothing more to say. He was eager to leave in front of the girl. His love for So Hyun, began to crumble just like that because of his regret.

So Hyun glanced at one of Taehyung's hands. Without warning, So Hyun pulled the hand wrapped in the bandage. Very forced, Taehyung again stopped the movement of steps that had been delayed. He clicked his tongue, then gritted his teeth hard. He felt his jaw harden.

"Is this wound because of me?" so Hyun asked with teary eyes.

"No. It's because of me. Why would I hurt myself just for a pem..."

"Liar! I knew! Ii'm sorry... I didn't mean to lie to you..." So Hyun interrupted Taehyung's words quickly and looked down again.

Taehyung could feel So Hyun's teardrops falling over his palm that was not covered in bandages. Seeing the girl cry again, it felt like there was something indisputable in her mind. He became guilty.

The man exhaled, "Stop crying."

So Hyun paid no heed to Taehyung's words. He came back crying as he muttered the word 'sorry' over and over again. He tightened his grip on Taehyung's other coat arm. The girl's cry became more.

"I told you to stop crying! Didn't you hear?!" taehyung said with a bit of roughness.

So Hyun shook his head quickly, "No! I won't stop crying! I was wrong anyway! It was I who lied to you! I hit you too at that time. And this guilt won't go away until you say that you've forgiven me." So Hyun insisted on not obeying Taehyung's earlier remark. He kept crying.

Taehyung couldn't stand his own sense of regret, instantly attracting So Hyun to look at him with a closer distance.

So Hyun looked at Taehyung who was taller than him with a sad look. He still could not stop his crying. He really feels very guilty right now.

"Listen to me! I wouldn't be this sorry, if you weren't with Namjoon this morning! I'll take all the lies for granted, as long as you're not with her. You know, I've been putting your feelings on since all these tragedies happened. But, what do I get? You hit me until this bruise is hard to remove." Taehyung explained long.

"Sorry..."

That was all So Hyun could say from his lips. He could not answer it, other than with the word 'sorry'. His heart also felt stifling, when he heard that Taehyung had feelings for him. Right now, he could only stop his cries forcefully and keep silent.

Sreth!

Taehyung hugged So Hyun a little loosely. Their distance hug is not too close. Or rather, Taehyung just put his chin on So Hyun's left shoulder alone. Feeling Taehyung's chin and gasp, So Hyun slightly closed his eyes and smiled faintly.

"alright... I will forgive you, if you stop crying." Taehyung half-whispered. For some reason, his mind was not strong to see someone crying before him. Just like, he looked at Eun Soo who was crying at that time.

So Hyun released his grip on Taehyung's school coat sleeve. He began to carve a faint smile with his eyes slightly opened.

He hugged Taehyung with both hands. Taehyung returned So Hyun's embrace and shortened the distance between the two of them. He slightly wrapped his hands around So Hyun's waist. It made So Hyun's smile widen and look brighter.

The sound of crying has been replaced with a happy breath. Slowly his hand slipped touching Taehyung's stomach. I don't know what the girl did, but Taehyung hugged her anyway.

Amidst the sweet atmosphere, a girl stared at them with an irregular breath, as well as tightly clenched hands.

"Yes! Kim Taehyung!" scream the girl hard.
