#but one new years we were housesitting + she offered to do a reading sort of thing

incomprehensible goop under the cut

there’s this real weird time circa 2007 that exists in this black hole of a void in my mind in that it doesn’t exist as a solid tangible confirmable memory but does exist insofar as that there’s this deep understanding that something did happen. there’s probably a protective or safety mechanic in play in not remembering but boy it would clear some things up

Rating for this Chapter: PG13 ━────────────────────────────━ You try to comfort yourself as you sniffled the last of your tears away. You had just broken up with your boyfriend after 2 years. The reason was stupid but you didn’t want to think about him right now, you decided to turn on the TV to get your mind off things. Switching through the channels, you stop on the news as you hear your phone ring. The news is talking about the weather tomorrow.

[From Jin 11: 05 pm] >I am sorry Y/N. I didn’t mean to hurt you. She kissed me. I didn’t kiss back. I hope you are okay.

You shuffled and tried to not picture the memory you have of a girl kissing him standing in the back porch at the party. You cried on your way out as you hurried past the crowd of people around you. Your eyes swelled up again and then a tear came out, you wept silently and within a second of feeling angry, you started typing.

[To Jin 11:06 pm] >Have fun with your new girlfriend. Goodnight.

You hit send with a sort of anger as you threw your phone on the table with a thud. Then focused back onto what was on the TV, the local news just starting from a commercial.

“As we get into the local news we have some disturbing breaking news that a young woman, Nadine Smith was found dead earlier today in the Fangoria Forest. She was found strangled, there has been suspected foul play as the police department will continue to investigate closely.”  The sequence continues on as it shows a picture of Nadine’s graduation picture then goes to the chief of the police department.

“We will be investigating this case very closely. As her death is a suspected foul play, we will announce an immediate curfew for all citizens. If you are out in the streets past 10 pm, you must have a good and valid reason. There’s a mandatory curfew for all those under the age of 18 until further notice. That is all. You girls and women should take considerable caution after dark until the perpetrator is caught and brought back to the authorities. Please alert authorities if you see any suspicious activity. Thank you.” The chief stated shuffling his papers and then standing off the podium. You shook your head at the thought of someone you knew being murdered. You fell into a train of thought about it, how she would run by herself early mornings.

A sudden buzz from your phone made your heart jump as you stared at it. Your heartbeat was so loud that you felt like your heart was going to jump out of your chest. You shake a little bit, shaking your head picking it up. You go to the window and door to lock it, your parents were out for the weekend and hearing that news seemed to make you a little scared. You take a look out the window and look around as you head on back to the living room, standing at the doorway, now reading the text.

[From Jungkook: 11:10 pm] >Hey! Y/N! Did you see what was on the news? Are you okay? Do you want me to come over?

You smiled at his concern. He was your next door neighbour and childhood friend growing up. He was very young compared to you. But then you come to the realization that he knew you had just got home and was watching tv. You frown at the thought of him spying on you.

[To Jungkook: 11:10pm] >How do you know I was home?

[From Jungkook: 11:10 pm] >I saw a taxi pulled up in the driveway and checked it out since no one is supposed to be at your house besides you. You said you were at a party. I saw it was you coming out of the taxi… You were crying when you came out. Are you alright? What’s wrong?

[To Jungkook: 11:10pm] >Oh… thanks for housesitting while I was out. I am just being hormonal is all. My period came early and that’s why I had to leave the party. What was on the news?

[From Jungkook: 11:10 pm] >No problem, can’t be too careful about break-ins and stuff. Also, that really sucks. Do you want me to bring over some snacks?

You had to think of why Jungkook thought you were watching the news.

[To Jungkook: 11:10pm]

>Thanks for being sympathetic about periods, most boys get grossed out. Also no, I just watched the news. How did you know I was watching the news by the way? Were you watching me you creep. LOL

[From Jungkook 11:10 pm]

>1/2 My mom taught me to be sympathetic towards the women in my life and said that someday I’ll fall in love with a woman who will do the same. She taught me that it was a thing to not be grossed out by. I didn’t know you were watching the news, I only watched you get into the house and saw the TV light flicker.

>2/2 I was watching the news just now. Nadine Smith has been murdered! She was strangled to death, and police think is a murderer. Since you’re alone I wanted to check up on you if you wanted me to come over. By the way, you never answered about the crying… are you okay? What were you crying about?

[To Jungkook: 11:10pm] >I was crying because I just broke up with Jin. Long story. Don’t want to talk about it. I was watching the news actually. I know, I saw and heard. I just locked the doors right now, but I think I would feel better if you come over or maybe I should come over there instead?

[From Jungkook 11:10 pm] >Oh… what did that jerk do?! Okay, I’ll ask my dad to come to pick you up. My mom is worried about you being alone. She was the one that told me to text you to see if you were okay. She was going to pick you up after the party but I told her you were home. She told me to text you and tell you about the news and said to offer me to go over there or you here for the weekend.

[To Jungkook: 11:10pm] >I told you, I don’t want to talk about it. I’ll pack my things right now for the rest of the weekend and lock up. I’ll be waiting for him and you. See you soon!

You put your bag down next to Jungkooks bunk bed. You’ve done this many times before over the years. Your parents trusted you both enough to sleep in the same room. You saw each other more as siblings and with the age difference reinforcing that. He was 5 years younger than you, he wasn’t even in high school yet. He climbed up on the top bunk as you got in the bottom. You both laid in the darkness in the silence. You felt your phone buzz you picked it up and smiled.

[From Jungkook: 11:30 pm] >I hope you are okay and feeling better, look under your pillow.

You shuffled and reached under your pillow, it was sour cherry candies. Your favourite candy you always craved when on your period. You smiled again opening it and taking some into your mouth. You felt a little calm down and sleepy.

[To Jungkook: 11:31 pm] >Thanks. :) I am feeling better already.

You both laid in silence again, not saying a word. His parents were light sleepers and already in bed now. You took a deep sigh and relaxed feeling relief as you did. You went on to Tumblr to look through fanfics that you liked to read before bed. Something fluffy and cheesy in hopes to make you feel happier before bed. You found an interesting one and began reading. A few minutes passed by before you saw another text from Jungkook.

[From Jungkook: 11:45 pm] >What happened with you and Jin? Why were you crying, I know you never cry even when on your period Y/N. You’re not an emotional crier.

[To Jungkook: 11:45 pm] >1/2 I told you, long story. But if you want to know. I went to the bathroom because well you know. I was going in there to find girly stuff and I did. I was getting ready to go home and then when I went to find Jin.

>2/2 He was out in the back porch with Jordanna, they were kissing. He pleaded to me they were just friends this entire time. He told me that she kissed him and he didn’t kiss her. He’s been lying to me! I don’t know how long they’ve been doing this. It kills me inside knowing how my trust was betrayed.

A few minutes went by, as you continued with the fanfic trying not to think about Jin right now. You felt upset again as your stomach turned and your heartbeat from anger. You sniffled a bit and then saw Jungkook come down. He pulled his pillow and blanket off and laid on the floor beside you without saying a word he went back to his phone laying on his back.

[From Jungkook: 11:56 pm] >I am sorry to hear Y/N. Please know I am always here for you if you need it. Jin was a loser anyways. We’ll play videogames all day tomorrow and eat junk food okay? I always got your back. I’ll keep you safe from anything. Heartbreak, boys, sadness. I’ll keep you safe and happy.

You smiled at his response.

[To Jungkook: 11:56 pm] >Deal.

You turned over to see that Jungkook put his phone down and laid motionless on the floor beside you. You went back to your reading and then went to sleep for the night. ━────────────────────────────━ You spent the weekend there keeping yourself busy, ignoring texts from Jin, you spent the Monday going about your classes ignoring his advances at every turn. You came home after school, your family still not back yet. You laughed as you walked to your porch on the phone with Jungkook. You saw a package sitting on your doorstep you pick it up looking at the sender and receiver. It’s to you with no return address, you open it up. When you take the contents outside you gasp and drop the package. It was a picture of Jin and Jordanna kissing, with “She’ll pay” on the back.
