Chapter 6 - Chapter 6

Y/n slept all night; while dreaming, y/n had a terrible nightmare. 

[Y/n's dream]

Y/n woke up with her hands and legs tied together, strapped to a chair, and tape over her mouth. 

Y/n couldn't see anything except for one bright light in front of her. 

A dark figure stepped out and whispered, "wakey wakey, y/n, it is your time to be erased from this planet." 

Y/n saw Namjoon, but she was unable to communicate due to the tape in her mouth. 

Namjoon approached y/n and removed the tape from her mouth. 

"Namjoon, why are you doing this to me? "Y/n, y/n, y/n, have you ever thought why I don't like you?" "You know, I've always thought about that, but I've never received an answer. However, today seems like a perfect day to get an answer." "You want the answer now?" "Of course, I want an answer right now." "Sorry, I won't tell you the answer, but I will offer you the date of your final day, which is August 25. Today is the last day of May, therefore in less than two months, you will be leaving Jin's and the rest of the group lives." 

"Is this about the incident that occurred six years ago? It was YOU who nearly killed Jin, not me, so I had to act." "And how can you be so sure it was me? Do you have any proof?" "No, I don't have proof, but I remember it vividly. Thanks to you, Jin's fans have turned against me, all because YOU started those rumors." 

"Me? Spreading rumors? Please, y/n, don't be absurd. Why would I waste my time on that? I just want you to feel the sting of loneliness, to watch you suffer in silence. And when my day of vengeance finally arrives, no one will ever guess who was behind what happened six years ago. Now, y/n, you're either going to stay quiet about everything or pretend you're unaware of your final day's preparations." 

As soon as Namjoon left, y/n fought to loosen the rope that was still tying her arms and legs to the chair, but she heard a loud noise. 

She woke up heavily shaken by the alarm. 

After waking from her nightmare, y/n checked her phone and saw a message from Jin telling her he's picking her up in 20 minutes. 

Still startled, y/n takes a shower, and a slew of strange things flood to her head. 

"Why did I have that nightmare so suddenly? Now I can't get over the thought that Namjoon is after me. Perhaps this is a sign that I will find out why Namjoon hates me. But August 25—why so suddenly? The only thing I hope before that day is that I can expose him to the entire fandom that he's responsible for what happened 6 years ago." 

Y/n finished showering, dressed up, and applied light makeup. 

Y/n's parents are watching TV in the living room as she eats cereal for breakfast. When y/n's parents ask if Jin is coming to pick her up, she replies that Jin is nearby. 

The sky outside appears gloomy, indicating that a severe thunderstorm will occur within minutes. 

The doorbell rang, and Jin stood there. 

Y/n took her bag and walked towards the elevator with Jin. The elevator doors opened, and Jin and y/n stepped inside. 

"I appreciate you accompanying me today despite this terrible weather, but you know me; no weather can stop me." "I'd do anything to make my best friend happy. But is there anything special going on in the bookstore that you are looking forward to going to today?" "Well, there's this book that I saw online that they have, and I really wanted to read it before anyone spoils it online." "Wait, is that the book I think you're talking about?" "Maybe." 

The elevator doors opened onto the main floor, and there was a gentle drizzle. 

Y/n opened her umbrella outside, while Jin opened his and began walking towards the bus stop. 

They arrive at the bus stop, the bus arrives 5 minutes early, and they board and wait till they reach the famous bookstore in South Korea, 'Kyobo Book Centre Gwanghwamun.' 

"Oh my goodness, am I dreaming? It has been my desire to visit this bookstore since I was a child. It is so gorgeous; I have to take a picture of this place," y/n stated, beaming with joy as she entered inside the bookstore and began to snap some quick photos. "She's so cute when she acts like this," Jin reflected, blushing. 

"Come on, Jin, let's search for that book I need and discover this incredible place," y/n encouraged Jin to hurry up and join her. "All right, I'm going. "Don't get lost without me," Jin warned, speed walking.

[Groupchat between members]

J-Hope: Hello, hello! How is everyone doing on Saturday morning?

Jimin: J-hope, is too early. I am going back to sleep.

J-Hope: Early? Why are you whining, Jimin?

Jimin: Because after yesterday's practice, I just want to sleep longer so I can have enough energy for tomorrow.

(Jimin went offline)

Jungkook: Good morning! What are y'all's plans?

Namjoon: I'm standing outside on the balcony, observing the mild drizzle before a rainstorm forms.

Taehyung: I'm currently walking somewhere to pick up some books I ordered online.

Suga: I am at home relaxing.

Jungkook: I'm also at home relaxing while painting a masterpiece.

Namjoon: You're usually painting something in this weather.

Jungkook: Leave me alone; I enjoy painting

J-Hope: You read Taehyung?

Taehyung: I wouldn't consider it reading; it's more like acting books.

J-Hope: Oh, that's right; I forgot you were going back to acting once we released the song in 5 weeks.

Taehyung: Someone has to do something in their life other than be a K-pop idol, you know.

J-Hope: True, true. By the way, where is Jin?

Suga: Jin is at the bookstore with my girlfriend.

J-Hope: Jin and y/n at the bookstore in this weather—ten minutes before it starts.

Suga: Yes!

J-Hope: Why didn't you go with her then?

Suga: For one thing, I'm not a big reader, and for another, I noticed the sky was already becoming black. Driving in this conditions is an absolute no-go for me.

J-Hope: At the very least, you could have accompanied your own girlfriend to the bookstore and simply stood by her side, as a boyfriend would.

Suga: She'll go regardless of the weather, you know how she is. Besides, she's waiting to get her hands on a novel, and she's picking up some books for her career.

(All of the members went offline expect Jungkook)

Jimin: I'm up. What did I miss?

Jungkook: Oh my god, Jimin, go read everything while you're knocked out.

Jimin: Okay, sheesh.

Following the group chat, Taehyung privately messaged Namjoon that he had spotted Jin and y/n at the famous bookstore and would be following them.
