《Fate》Chapter 22

Y/N POV
After half an hour of work, our mess was all cleaned. I was now helping Jin-ssi with dishes while Jimin and Jungkook were playing a video game in the hall. The other boys were upstairs. I was done by then and was about to go into my room.
"Jaljayo Oppa!" I said to Jin-ssi as I made my way out of the Kitchen.
"Hey Y/N, wait for me I'm coming too," Jungkook said as he got up from his place.
"Okay," I said. The sound of the door opening and a screeching sound made a turnaround.
Eunji??
What??
I thought it was Taehyung-ssi. But he was standing in the hall's door frame as Eunji stood beside him. Why there are bags in his hands..?
Why Eunji seems gloomy? I thought, glancing at Eunji as her head hung low.
She needs me...
Without thinking twice, I quickly went towards her and stood in front of her.
"Eunji," I said while keeping my hands on her shoulders. She slowly looked up.
She was crying
Her eyes were filled with tears. The Eunji I know is a self-esteemed girl who wants to break the barrier. But at this moment .....
"Come here." I said while dragging her to the couch. At the current moment, I forgot about the existence of boys around me. (A/N: Jimin and Jungkook had called the boys.)
I made her sit on the couch and sat beside her.
"Eunji, tell me, what happened?" I said but got flinched a little when she suddenly hugged me as I felt her tears on my top.
"Y/N...what ..will.... I.. tell my parents." She said with her broken voice.
You guys might wonder why Eunji is behaving like that. Well, she has her reasons.
Eunji's family lives in Incheon, a city near Seoul. Her family is not so sound in matters related to finance. She (Eunji) has the dream to become a fashion designer. But her family....

Neither her family stopped her, nor they supported her. Eunji was their only girl child. Besides her was her younger brother, 11 years old. Her father wanted her to do a stable job to support her family because the studies of fashion technology were quite expensive. She refused it and left her father's house to pursue her dream. She had a little argument with her parents regarding that on which she decided to prove her worth. Prove that she can achieve something if she pursues her dream.
She rented an apartment in Seoul with her savings as she started doing part-time jobs. She worked day and night to come up with the money to support her education. Days passed, and she bought the apartment with her own money. With her classes going on she got, she got some projects to work on. Besides that, she also worked at a convenience store. Suho, a friend of hers, also works in the same store.
Besides all of this, she always remained cheerful. One day, a vast company visited her college, as they provided students with some projects. These projects could also lead to mightier possibilities and opportunities. This project meant so much to her, as this could have changed her life. Not to mention the company was every fashion aspirants' dream.
"Shh...Don't cry." I said to calm her down while making circles on her back to comfort her. I looked at Taehyung who was gazing at her with confusion and a hint of sadness was clear in his eyes, too. What happened?
"Um..water," Jin-ssi said while offering a glass of water to Eunji. She took it as she gulped it down slowly. I gazed around in surrounding and Everyone was there.
" Hey, can you now tell us what happened?" Namjoon-ssi asked. I averted my gaze back to her for an answer.
"Actually ..." then she told us everything...
What? Why? How? were the only questions lingering in my mind.
"But who the hell can intrude her place like this." Suga Oppa said as his expression changed to confuse one.

"Might be thieves?" Jimin said.
"It could be, but if they are thieves, they are supposed to steal things. But the things in her house were almost destroyed, even the expensive ones." Taehyung said, which was true.
"Then someone intruded purposefully? But why?" Namjoon-ssi said.
"What if it's the same sasaeng...?" Jimin blurted out.
As he spoke those words, my mind went blank.
Could it be that sasaeng?
A sudden question popped into my mind. It was joining the points. As I averted my gaze to see Jungkook, but now he was nowhere.
Where is Jungkook?
JK POV
"What if it's the same sasaeng...?" Jimin Hyung said.
Really? Is this cause of that sasaeng too?
As soon as I heard those words from Jimin hyung's mouth, Everything from that horrible night became clear in front of my eyes.
But why she would harm Eunji? What Eunji has to do with it?
Is it because she is Y/N's friend?
First Y/N...! Now Eunji...What in the world these two needed to be involved in it? Y/N is already suffering because of me...
I was going through a mental debate. Therefore, I excused myself from the meeting without uttering a word. A flood of thoughts was running through my mind.
POV END
" Maybe we should call manager Sejin and cops ?" Jin-ssi suggested.
"Yeah.. " the boys supported.
"I think eunji can share the room with me. We should get going." I said while supporting Eunji. Though she had calmed now, I know she is going through a mental debate. The boys might wonder, but that's not the thing to think of right now.
"Yeah! it's pretty late." Hoseok Oppa said.
After that, I took eunji to my room as Taehyung-ssi helped with the luggage. After he left, I closed the door and turned around, only to see Eunji sitting on the bed with her head hung low.
"Eunji-ah! " I said while squeezing her hand a little as I sat in front of her.
"Y/n-ah..." She said while looking up at me. I have never seen tears in her eyes but now I was seeing a fragile Eunji in front of me who needs comfort.
"What will I do now, Y/n ? my project ...my project on which I had spent my days and night, got ruined in just one day. What will I tell my father? ...that he was right ....I failed?" She said.
"Who said you failed Eunji-ah? You didn't. You don't need to justify to anyone. And about the project. It was only you who had created designs. Just have a little faith and I am sure you will make things work out. " I said in hopes to cheer her up.
"But the designs I made were the constant effort of months. I pulled out all my thoughts and brain into it. How can I recreate them in such a short time? " She asked.
" You can if u want! The eunji I know knows how to think out of the box, who doesn't give up so easily. So what happened now? " I said.
"I just don't know..." she said with a shaky voice and turned her face.
"Alright then, I think u should sleep now. You need some rest." I said. She nodded in response.
After that, we went to sleep.
Taehyung's POV
Today I saw a different Eunji. The eunji who was always cheerful whenever we met her, showed her tears. I don't know why but I felt pity for her. I don't know what happened to her, but she must have a good reason. But her words are still ringing in my ears
" What .....will .....I tell ...my parents. "
Why they were her first words when she met Y/n? Thinking about it, I felt my eyelids getting heavy.

8.18 158442Apostle of the Goddess
A disappointed man dreams of leaving the confines of Earth and living adventures in fantastic realms...Suddenly, his wish is granted... Albeit in a far different way from what he could have expected. An isekai genre story with a few elements from LitRPG. The overall tone will be jumping back and forth from light to dark. Expect a lot of references to anime, manga, games, etc.It is written in first-person view and will contain a side-story using a "real-life" character. Initially, the MC will be writing the story as a true journal, so the prologue and first chapters may appear a mess of things that already happened, journal entries, and afterthoughts. A few chapters in, it will change into a normal, first-person manner retelling of what happened (storywise the character "Records" what happened to him). This is a side project of mine, so I will be uploading a few chapters per month. Chapters may have a severe difference in length (albeit I will try to maintain them around 3k), but expect the overall monthly word count to be not less than 15k words.Author recommendation, if you intend to follow the story, read the new updates once a month (counting from the day the first chapter is uploaded). Content Warning: I do intend to include a few disturbing moments to emphasize the darkness of the human (and other beings) nature, so please consider that even though some chapters (especially the starting ones) are kinda like a comedy routine.
