My past life was as a bully's wife?
Pain Transmission (000)
The atmosphere froze like a knife. Kim Taehyung finally pulled his hand away from mine, and Park Jimin grabbed my other hand.
박지민
00 Ah, baby. Don't you want to get out of here? Don't you think you came in for no reason?
A hazy, affectionate voice. A sweet voice that seemed to penetrate my brain.
For a moment, I closed my eyes and almost went with Park Jimin's lead, but Kim Taehyung naturally caught me.
김태형
000, you decide.
I feel like I'm going crazy. I'm happy to be with two handsome men, but it's also a bit dizzying.
I really want to help Kim Taehyung, but Park Jimin is definitely a bad kid.
Something... instinctively made me want to go outside. Urgently,
As if I had left something outside.
김태형
… Are you really going out?
000
I'm here,
정호석
00ah.
Jeong Ho-seok, who was blocking Yoo-jeong, suddenly whispered to me.
Just far enough for me to hear. Like a charm.
정호석
Don't you think it's not okay to stay here?
홉
- Your Majesty, please stay by the Crown Prince's side. This is my one wish.
What? Weren't we supposed to have nothing to do with each other?
I felt my body rise. Kim Taehyung looked at me with surprised eyes, and Park Jimin…
He smiled as if it was nothing.
000
… I'm so embarrassed to be in this situation, I'm going to go now.
In effect, it was a statement that I was taking Park Jimin's side while squabbling. I know it sounds like a bit of trash, but it was something I said in a dazed state of mind.
The last thing I saw was me sinking down onto the sofa and feeling myself being sucked in.
김태형
What a fucking dog,
Kim Taehyung turns around while spitting out curses, and Park Jimin smiles in victory.
And then, without me knowing when, senior Seokjin came towards me.
민윤기
Crazy, who are you? How long have you been here?
김석진
A long time ago.
I lay still on the sofa, as if sucked in, watching the sky above. I was awake, but unable to speak.
김석진
The senior just looked down at me.
I was shaking with a feeling that something wasn't right for me to be here, but Park Jimin picked me up and walked me outside.
Sister Yoojung followed us out. After her, Jeon Jungkook and Min Yoongi came out.
The next moment I fell asleep.
김석진
Taehyung.
김태형
It's annoying. I want to throw it away, that guy, and never see him again.
Taehyung and Seokjin had a connection before. Counting back to then, they've been close for about a year.
Seokjin, who had the intuition to figure out something about someone after just an hour or two, had been around for a year, so how could he not know Taehyung?
김석진
You hate it that much? Why, the prince from your past life had nothing to do with you now.
Taehyung looks up at Seokjin quietly. His eyes are empty.
김석진
why.
김태형
I like the current 000.
김석진
under.
Despite the laughter, there was no sign of a smile on Seokjin's face.
김태형
I like it better now, and I want to kill Park Jimin again.
김석진
Your love will bring forth trash.
김태형
…what?
From then on, Seokjin continued to make fun of Taehyung by saying things that Taehyung couldn't understand.
김석진
You shouldn't trust yourself, Taehyung.
진
Yeah, you're right, Taehyung.
태형
…What are you talking about?
진
Didn't you say that when it rains, all the cherry blossoms fall?
Taehyung frowned even more, his tear-stained face darkening. Jin stared at Taehyung for a moment, then looked up at the rainy sky.
진
Now that Princess Mama has passed away, it could be your tears.
Taehyung doesn't answer because he's shedding tears again.
진
Are you that sad?
태형
No, if you were my brother, wouldn't you be sad?
진
I've seen my lovers die too... not that many times.
태형
Have you ever had a lover?
진
It's all blue. They're all men. I've seen people die while meeting them because I was embarrassed to introduce them to my family.
태형
…I feel empty.
진
You're the one talking. Ha,
진
I've seen too many people die because of greed.
진
…I miss that kid quite a bit.
This concludes the series of suffering conveyed through the four sides!
To 'convey' pain to Taehyung is to 'share' it with Seokjin or his friend Yoongi.
To 'transmit' pain to Jimin means to 'blow' Suzy or Taehyung by harassing or being violent.
To 'convey' pain to Seokjin means to 'push' it inside of oneself like crazy and endure it.
Lastly, when 00 is having a hard time, he cannot let go or share, so he 'relies' on others, which is a way to convey his pain.
We'll be back next time with an even darker and richer story!
