You Drive Me Crazy | PJM

Chapter 40 +

JIMIN POV

The only way to get out of a habit is to make a new one.

The only way to get over her is to find someone else.

At least, that's what I thought.

I tried all different types of women. Dating them, taking them out, buying them drinks, talking to them.

I tried to even get physical with some of them. I couldn't get past kissing them.

Ha! what's so special about her? She's just a girl. Not an attractive one too. She's my secretary and my half-siste-

Wait, am I into incest? No way.

That's just disgusting. Gross.

‘We’ can never be.

Moreover, she likes Taehyung. The man who treats her well.

So I continued doing what I was doing even though I did not make much progress. I brought some of them to the office.

Why, you ask?

Honestly, I wanted to know how she'd react. A little part of me wanted her to be jealous and angry. It gave me some kind of a power.

I did things to those women in front of her. I wanted to see some kind of an emotion in her.

She was always flustered. That's it. No jealousy. No anger.

Maybe she was disgusted by me. Of course, I was pathetic. I know.

But what's worse than looking at your own sister like a woman?

*********

She was speaking on the phone again. It had become my guilty pleasure. Listening to her speak.

It was Taehyung on the other end.
“Hey babe..”

“Tae? Why are you calling in this phone? I told you this is recorded.” She said looking towards me or more specifically the wall.

“Well, then you should pick up your mobile phone.” He complained.

“Sorry, my battery is dead. Anything important?”

“Yeah. I was thinking we should take a three day trip to Jeju. I was going to book the tickets.” He sounded excited.

Trip to Jeju? Both of them alone. I didn't like it. But who was I to say?

“Jeju? I don't know, Tae. With work and ever-”

Good girl!

“Ugh! Make some excuse or something. Say you are sick.”

Asshole.

“I can't…. I'm really sorry.”

“Aish fine.” He abruptly cut the call.

I was proud of her. I smiled at her.

She stared towards the door for a while when Taehyung called again to say bye and said he would cancel the tickets.

********

She didn't turn up at work the next day. I hoped she was running late. But she didn't come the entire day.

I called her multiple times hoping that she'd pick up.

I thought whether she went on that trip with Taehyung. Of course not. She would tell me.

Maybe an emergency came up.

********

She didn't come to work the next day too.

I called her again. A lot of times. She didn't pick up.

I would have assumed she would have gone on that trip if I didn't know her better.

She wouldn't. I know her. She wouldn't cheat me like that.

I was worried. What if something bad happened to her?

Well, Taehyung would be there to check upon her.

I threw away all my pride and called Taehyung but his phone was switched off.

What if something bad happened to him too?

I called his office and his secretary told me he hadn't come for work too.

Well, I would have liked to believe that they went to Jeju or some shithole but he did say he was cancelling the tickets.

I went to her house and it was locked and she wasn't there.

I couldn't sleep that night.

*********

She didn't turn up at work the next day too.

I called again. And again. I couldn't focus on my work.

I tried calling Taehyung. His phone was ringing.

“Hello.” He said. I was relieved.

“Taehyung, where's Y/N?”

“Uh…” He trailed off. “Uh she's with me.”

Oh….

“Give her the phone.”

“Well, she's busy. She can't speak to you right now. She'll come to work tomorrow. Bye.” Taehyung cut the call.

Oh…. So they were alright.

So she was with Taehyung for three entire days enjoying in Jeju or whatever shithole they were in. All the while I searched like a dog for them.

She did lie to me.

She did cheat me.

I guess I don't matter to her as much as she does to me.

I guess this is what woman like her do..

She is everything I thought she wasn't...

My mother was right..
