Messed Up

"Nobody said it was easy

It's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start"

"You're really messed up Jim" Taehyung put a glass of lemon ice on the table while he sat beside Jimin who was staring blankly at the rug underneath.

Taehyung was visiting Jimin at his place and intended to take him out to dinner but he canceled his plan when he found Jimin opening the apartment door with a messed face, messy hair and dark circle oh his eye indicating that Jimin didn't seem to be sleeping at all.

"hey dude, what's happen?" Taehyung patted Jimin shoulder lightly when he saw his best friend was daydreaming.

Jimin brought himself back to his senses and turned to Taehyung. "You know Yoona, right?"

Taehyung a little thought while remembering Yoona name in mind then nodded as he remembered who Yoona really was "Your ex when we were trainee, huh? What's wrong with her?"

Jimin started leaning on the sofa and positioned himself comfortably before starting the confession session with Taehyung, "I met her while going grocery shopping at the supermarket with Jungkook ..."

"At first I thought I was hallucinating but it turns out I met her again on a music show when we performed .."

"Really !? We met her !? When?" Taehyung asked with a surprised tone that he didn't even realize that he saw Jimin ex in one place.

Jimin nodded "The day I got injured when Jin hyung called his cousin who is a doctor. Yoona is one of them and I'm sure you all saw her enter the Backstage? You don't remember?"

Taehyung closed his eyes trying to remember the incident when Jimin was injured and he opened his eyes and screamed "Ah that woman in a red checkered shirt? Is she Yoona !?"

Jimin nodded and started drinking his lemon ice to wet his dry throat, "it's great that I still recognize her even though it's been 10 years and strangely I come back fascinated with her"

"How did she react when she saw you again after 10 years?"

Jimin face was crumpled again and sad to hear Taehyung question. Taehyung who realized with Jimin face change could only react "ah she still hates you, apparently"

"Of course, since what Manager Park did, how could Yoona not hate me?" Jimin returned to bowing his head limply.

Taehyung, who can't bear to see his best friend just pats Jimin shoulder, "let's go to the convenience store, it seems like today you need a beer and a little night air to refresh your tangled mind"

both of them headed out to the nearest minimarket. After finishing buying a beer, Jimin and Taehyung returned to the apartment, in the middle of the trip Jimin saw Mrs. Lee walking in front of him carrying a shopping bag. Jimin frowned a little in surprise when he saw Mrs. Lee walk way slowly, maybe more precisely staggered, the distance between Jimin and Mrs. Lee was still relatively close, that's why Jimin tried to approach her to help carry her luggage but Jimin was unexpectedly surprised to see Mrs. Lee fainted in front of him. before Mrs. Lee head fell to the ground, Jimin quickly held Mrs. Lee body with one hand and sacrificed his body to fall to hold Mrs. Lee.

Taehyung, who was surprised by the fast-paced incident, ran over to Jimin who was hit by the body of a old woman in front of him. "hey Jimin-ah are you okay !?"

"Tae quickly call the ambulance" Said Jimin trying to position himself to sit while still holding Mrs. Lee unconscious body.

It didn't take long for the ambulance to arrive and Mrs. Lee body was taken to the nearest hospital which turned out to be Yoona place of work. Mrs. Lee was taken to the ER for follow-up and Jimin waited in the corridor holding his cellphone doubtfully. he doubted whether he should call Yoona about this incident or not? but Jimin immediately brushed it off and started calling Yoona to tell Mrs. Lee condition. It does not matter to Jimin if Yoona asked about how he met Mrs. Lee, he could explain and might be his chance to talk.

Yoona rushed to the inpatient room on the 5th floor of the VIP section. Her heart almost stopped beating when she got the news that Grandma was hospitalized and also the one who tell it was Jimin. how could she not be surprised when a stranger number called and gave bad news about Grandma. Yoona thought that it was just a prank number after she heard Jimin name mentioned by the caller.

With a gasping breath she saw Jimin sitting in the chair opposite Mrs. Lee room while playing with his cellphone then Yoona walked over to Jimin.

Jimin, who realized that someone was approaching him, turned to his side and saw Yoona walking over to him, then he stood up and smiled, "hi"

"How did you meet Grandma !?" that's the question that came out of Yoona mouth. there were so many questions that crossed her mind that she didn't know which one to ask.

Jimin who heard it just smiled and said, "You better see the condition of grandma first" Jimin turned his head towards the hospital room where Mrs. Lee was.

Yoona looked at Jimin for a moment before she entered the room to see the condition of Mrs. Lee. Yoona saw Mrs. Lee lying on the bed with an IV needle in her hand, she began to hold Grandma hand, but her actions made Mrs. Lee wake up from sleep and saw Yoona who was looking at her worriedly.

"ah looks like Jimin told you huh?" Grandma smiled in a slightly weak voice.

"I told you not to do things that make your heart weak," said Yoona, worried that she almost cried.

Grandma tried to calm Yoona by gently patting the back of Yoona hand that was holding her "don't worry, grandma thank to Jimin for helping me"

"How can you know Jimin?" asked Yoona

Mrs. Lee also talked about her meeting with Jimin who helped her carry her fallen apples and take her back to the apartment. Yoona, who heard Grandma story, was stunned. She was afraid because Jimin knew that she lied about meeting her lover. Yoona quickly went over to Jimin after she said goodbye to Grandma.

Yoona saw Jimin who was still faithfully sitting on the bench with a smile on his face. Then she walked over to Jimin and said "come with me" and went ahead of Jimin.

Jimin who was confused by what happened only followed Yoona from behind and it turned out that she was led him to her office.

"You know this is like a private room for both of us" Jimin chuckled when he was in the room alone with Yoona.

Yoona turned around to face Jimin "thank you" she said nervously.

Jimin who saw Yoona nervous expression could only smile "it seems you know that I know your lie"

"Why?" asked Jimin

"Nothing, just don't want to talk to you any longer," said Yoona trying not to look nervous.

Jimin raised an eyebrow his warm smile turned into a small smirk "really !?"

Yoona gasped at the change in Jimin face which looked intimidating and started walking toward her.

"Wha...What are you doing !?" Yoona took a step back. Jimin ignored her and continued his steps toward Yoona until her back hit the wall and cornered her.

Jimin locked Yoona with both hands that she stretched to the wall. He looked at Yoona deeply and Yoona looked back at him even though in her heart desperately suppressed her nervousness.

Yoona heart was beating wildly, her head felt dizzy with Jimin distinctive scent, but she was drowned again by the dark brown eyes that were staring at her intensely.

"Give me a chance Yoona to prove myself that I can be better for you" said Jimin.

Yoona just stared at him silently, she tried to calm herself to return to reality.

"no!"
