Heart Strings

Chapter 6

Geoun was sitting on the toilet in the bathroom as Jisoo carefully treated her cheek. Soft knocks on the door were heard before it slowly opened and Jennie, Rose, Chungha, and Lisa came in - all sobered up now.

"Oh my god. Geoun I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have let you-"

"Shh. It's okay. It barely hurts anymore," Geoun cut Rose off and gave a soft smile. It didn't fool anyone though, because just as soon as she spoke, Geoun winced in pain as Jisoo put a bandage over the gash.

"Geoun it's not okay. He's been a bully to everyone since middle school, but he's never hurt somebody like this." Jennie came and wrapped Geoun in a soft hug. "I'm so sorry we weren't there to stop him."

"Guys, it's fine. I promise." Geoun wrestled out of Jennie's hug then opened the door. "I'm gonna go to bed, it's been a long night." She gave the girls a tight smile as she left and went to find somebody who could tell her where to sleep.

"Geoun, hey are you okay?" a concerned BamBam appeared in front of her. (this sounds like pokémon lol)

"Hey BamBam. Yeah I'm fine. I was just uh, trying to find somewhere to sleep." Geoun forced out a smile.

BamBam could tell she was lying, but he also didn't want to push her. "Oh sure. Um. There's a spare room upstairs with a bunch of couches and air mattresses. I'll show you."

Geoun followed him up the stairs, down the hall, and into the last room on the left. It looked super cozy and Geoun wanted nothing more than to fall face first on a couch and sleep. She almost did, but a sudden stinging on her face reminded her she couldn't.

A sigh left her lips and she sat down instead, BamBam sitting a respectable distance next to her.

"It really hurt, Bam." Geoun's voice was soft and she didn't bother looking up.

"I'm so sorry Geoun. I shouldn't have let you go take those shots. I saw you leave them, I should've gone after you. I shouldn't have let you go alone. He shouldn't have even been here tonight!"

BamBam was getting a little heated towards the end of his mini-rant, but Geoun placed her hand on his arm as if to say it's okay.

"Bam. Shush. It's not your fault. I am however, really tired. Do you mind?" Geoun looked up at her friend with a smile.

"Of course. Sleep well, and if you need anything, more people will be in here later. We're just gonna clean up downstairs first." And with that, BamBam left Geoun in the room.

She let out a deep sigh and then took out her phone. She went to her texts and opened up her conversation with her mom. Putting a fake smile on, she began to write a message.

G: Hey momma! We had a little get together with some friends tonight and it was awesome! I know it's only been a few days, but I can't wait for you and Papa to come visit! Love you both! Hugs and Kisses XOXO

Geoun wasn't one to keep things from her parents, but she'd be crazy to tell them about what happened tonight. She sighed and decided to go on Instagram as she laid down.

She got a notification about being tagged in a video, so she checked it out, only to be horrified that one of Jungkook's friends had recorded and posted a video of her being slapped. The video wasn't what bothered her the most, however. It was the comments that people were leaving.

'fucking bitch'

'she deserved that'

'that's what happens when you mess with jungkook oppa'

'i can't believe she slapped him'

She covered her mouth and cried while biting her finger to keep from making a sound. Slowly, she closed out of the app and turned her phone off, setting it on the ground by her shoes.
