"Great! As I thought my life couldn't get any worse. And here I am. ****! What I am I going to do!?" You curse underneath your breath.

One... Two.....Three. There are three guys standing in front of you. You see by their eyes they are not here to play silly games.

And the fact that you are in an alleyway maze where no one could see you get beaten up doesn't make it better.

"Well, folks..." You start "What are we planning to do here?"

You say as you wobble back and forth to act cool

and look like you aren't stressed at all.

"I am pretty sure you know." One of the guys grins at you giving an unwelcoming feeling to you.

"We can take it the hard way or the easy way. Just give us all the money and valuables you have." The guy mumbles.

"Well here goes nothing. Better die doing something than doing nothing." You think to yourself.

You look at them. And a grin appears on your face. You start to stretch your arms from side to side and up and down.

The three guys give you a confused

look. Wich in this situation you take in with all your might.

You finally stop stretching and then you crack your fingers. A popping sound coming from most of them.

"Don't judge a book by its cover." You act cocky and say while letting out the most confident smirk you could give at this moment.

The guys smirk at you and barely hold

back their laughter.

" What are you going to do sweetheart?" One of the guys mocks you.

" This!" You grin. You lift up your arm ready to punch the guy in the front in the face. They look taken aback.

You start to move your hand towards his face when you turn around and........ Buck it down the alleyway.

" Damn. It worked!" You happily celebrate to yourself when suddenly you hear footsteps behind you.

" ****! ****! ****! I don't think I can outrun them. This won't work." You pick up your speed and turn the corner when suddenly bam......

You open your eyes and you're on the ground. Your butt sitting on the cold concrete ground.

You look up and a young male is standing in front of you. He has a face maks on but it doesn't stop you from recognizing him.

You rub your elbow in pain as it had a lot of impact when hitting the ground and ask " Wait!? Your Jimin. As in Park Jimin. As in from BTS Jimin?"

He looks upset and somewhat sad when you say those words. And you realize what he is thinking about.

"Oh don't worry. I am not one of those crazy fans."

Even though half of his face is covered you can tell the relief in his eyes.

He holds a hand out for you and you gladly take it.

"Uh sorry for bumping into you and sorry for asking but why were you running so fast?"

His voice sounds even more angelic in real life than in videos.

But his comment snaps you back to reality.

" Hey, sweetheart! Where did you go?" You hear a mocking voice from afar.

Jimin looks confused from the voice who is shouting for you non stop now.

"I am running from them." You point your finger back to where you came from.

"I am sorry Jimin for bringing you into this. But I hope you can get me out of here." You think to yourself as suddenly there is a pull in your hand and you feel yourself being dragged fast.

You look up from the ground and see Jimin pulling you as quick as he can.

"Are you going to run or not. Didn't you say you were running away from them?" He asks with his breath already starting to sound hoarse.

"Oh, yea sorry." You apologize but don't really know what for.

"Don't you dare think you can run from us." These words shot through your mind as you hear a trigger being pulled and a bullet leaving a pistol.

It shoots right in your shoulder. The pain immediately spreads through your body but the shock helps a little. You almost trip on your own feet. As your eyes close in pain.

Then you feel yourself being lifted up bridal style. You shot your eyes open and see Jimins face right in front of yours. His eyes focused on the road ahead.

" Where the **** did I get you involved." You whisper to your self as you look at his pure and innocent face. The ARMY will never forgive me if something happens to you.

The shock of being shot is slowly leaving while uncovering all the pain it was hiding. Now the pain was free and took hold of all your nerves.

You hear shots being fired and you are surprised that Jimin hasn't been shot yet.

" We're almost there." You hear Jimin huf under his ragged breath you look in front of you and see that you almost have reached the end of the alleyway where people would be walking around and you would be safe.

Safe from whoever were those guys.

You're so close yet so far away from safety. You can see the rode right there.

What's making you lose hope are all the gunshots behind you. You still wonder how none of them has hit you or Jimin.

But one of them is going to hit you. You know it. You never are this lucky. The only hope is that Jimin is.

You start losing your hope and get ready for the worst. Closing your eyes and calming yourself down as much as you can when suddenly you feel Jimin make a sharp turn.

You quickly open your eyes.

You're out! You actually made it. You look around and there are no people walking no cars driving.

"Don't worry. There is a camera right there." Jimin whispers to you noticing your sharp head movements while looking for someone to ask help.

"Damn! The camera caught us! Let's move back!" You hear the mans voice who once threatened you speak.

You hear more murmurs and shuffling before they all leave. Leaving you with their last words of " We will get you one day." And then they're gone.

Jimin puts you down on the ground where your rest your back against the building walls. You put your hand on your injured shoulder.

You look up and see Jimin pull out his phone and start pressing numbers. He presses his screen three times and you know who he's calling.

"Don't call the medics." You say with as much confidence before he has the chance to presses the call button.

He turns to you and gives you a smile. You give him a serious stare back.

"Wait you're not joking?" He tilts his head as you begin to talk.

"No! Of course not! I will go to some shop and by some bandages, the bullet went through the other side of my shoulder. That means it isn't in my shoulder." You prove your point by touching the back of your shoulder and showing your hand wich now is covered in blood.

"Thanks for saving me though." You give him a fake smile as you try to lift yourself from the ground with the arm that isn't injured.

But you get stopped by a hand that now is placed on your shoulder and is pressing you down back to the ground.

"No, I am not leaving you here like this. You need medical attention now and I am calling the medics." Jimin looks at you. His stare piercing right through you. You can't say no now.

He stands back up and presses the call button. Giving you a glance before turning away to talk to the person on the other side of the phone call.

- 20 minutes later -

The medics arrive and carry you to the car. You get placed down in the car and you hate it. You never liked doctors. You would never go to the doctors' office no matter how sick or injured you are.

You notice your self trembling in fear you try to calm down as the medics ask you all sorts of questions that you do not want to answer.

They must have noticed the other scars and bruises because they started asking much more personal questions.

Before they close the cars door Jimin steps in.

"Can I come along?" Jimin asks one of the medics. You secretly wish he would be able to come. Something about his presence made you feel safer.

"Yes." The medic gives him a sweet smile. He sits down next to you and the car starts moving.

After driving for a bit the car stops. The door opens and you are being carried into the hospital while Jimin follows you closely.

The pain in your shoulder did not get better. Before there were so many things going on you had something to focus on to forget the pain. But now it was all you could feel.

Terrible terrible pain and burning. It got so bad you just couldn't take it. And then before you know it you fell unconscious.

Jimins POV

Jimin stood in the corridor watching thorough the small window into the hospital room.

The nurses checking her condition. Even Jimin could see from the distance all the other bruises and scars that are all scattered across her unconscious form.

Soon one of the nurses walks out. She takes off her mask and turns towards him.

"Sir. Do you mabey know anything about her personal life?" She asks.

"No. I don't."

" Well..... She's very weak. I don't know anything about her but I can tell those are abuse scars and self-harm cuts. Her condition is very unstable. But by my predictions, she's not only physically unstable but also mentally. If you are her friend I advise you to take good care of her." She finishes, giving Jimin a sad smile. And then walking away.

Soon after the other nurses leave as well. Jimin turns towards the door.

Something about this girl. Makes him want to stay with her and help her.

Your POV

"Ugh" You let out a loud groan as you slowly open your eyes.

You wanted to stretch but you just couldn't lift your arm above your head.

" How are you feeling?" The soft voice besides your bed catches you off guard.

" Um... It hurts a little but I'm fine." You respond trying to act as if you just didn't get shoot. " How long have I been out for?"

"Not long. About 30 minutes." He gives you the answer you were hoping for. You didn't want to sleep for too long. All you wanted was to leave.

Jimin stands up and turns. He starts to walk when.......

You grab hold of his wrist. " Are you leaving?" You ask with a desperate tone. You didn't mean to sound desperate but it just came out that way.

"Yes sorry. I have to leave."

His words send shivers down your spine.

"No! You can't leave. You put me in here even though I told you that I don't need medical attention. And now you will stay here." You look at him. Trying to give him the best puppy eyes you can.

You're afraid. Terrified. You don't want to stay in the hospital. Not alone.

"I'm sorry. I promise I will come back." Jimin said while giving you a warm smile. You didn't have a right to ask him to stay. You knew that but you wished he could.

He looks so innocent but at the same time so serious. "He wouldn't lie. Right?" You think to yourself.

"You promise?" You aks to make sure.

"Yes."

You let go of his wrist. Your hand dropping by your side. Defeated by his charming looks.

He grabs the handle and gives you a smile before he opens the door and leaves.

And now you're alone. In this hospital room. Weak and defenceless.

You had a lot of time to think about the event that happened.

You felt too unsafe to sleep so what you meant is that you have the whole night.

You wanted Jimin to stay because...

...You hadn't had anyone care for you or help you. Especially not in a life or death situation.

It felt nice.

You have been longing for affection. For someone to care for you and love you. But that time hasn't come yet. And probably won't.

That's the thoughts that run through your mind the whole night.

                            --------------------

Most of the day has passed.

It's 18:47.

He still hasn't come.

You look outside the window you're on the first floor.

Yup, you guessed it. You will try to escape.

They probably thought you're too weak to climb. But NOP. You have gone through much worse, and you could finally move your shoulder.

And your wound is bandaged and cleaned so it won't be that bad if you'd escape...

...Right?

You grab the clothes that you wore when you got taken to the hospital and put them on.

Your shoulder hurts a little but it's no big deal.

You open the window and jump out.

The landing could have been better, but you survived.

There are some police officers around but since you aren't in the hospital gown they don't suspect a thing.

You decide to take the long way home.

AROUND the alleyway maze.

You live with your parents.  The house is huge. Because they are quite rich but they almost are never home.

That's why your life resembles the saying...

              ...Money can't buy everything

It can't buy happy memories. It can't buy you a good friend. It can't buy you loving parents. It can't buy you, love. It can't buy you a loving family.

It can't buy you anything that you need in this life.

You open the large front door. "I'm home." You shout.

You know no one will answer but you still liked to do it so you felt at least a little bit loved. Like someone would respond with "Hey sweety." or "Good. I just made dinner!" or even just a "Hello" would do.

You grab your sketch pad and car keys and decide to leave the house. It's too depressing to stay there.

                             --------------------

After an hour drive. You stop your car near a forest. You lock your car and with your headphones and sketchpad enter the deep forest.

There is a place in the forest you came to if you ever felt sad, depressed or just wanted some time alone.

There is a tree that you usually climb that is on a cliff next to a beautiful lake. There is this one thick branch that if you walked to its end you were over the lake.

You never liked the feeling of adrenaline but walking on the branch and being over the edge and the only thing stopping you from falling was your own balance...

...It made you feel at peace.

Weirdly enough.

You finally made it to the tree and climbed it. Quite painfully. You sat on one of the branches supporting your back on the trunk.

You put your headphones in and started the songs. You always played them at random. It made it different. You never knew what would play next.

You opened the sketchbook and grabbed your pencil.

Then your favourite song started to play.

"The truth Untold." ( I would advise listening to this song while reading. And yes she does listen to BTS songs. She just isn't a hardcore fan or a sasaeng.)

Whenever this song would start to play you would put your sketchbook down and hug your knees.

The song was filled with so much emotion on.

You stood up and walked to the end of the thick branch that hovered over the ledge.

Is life worth it?

Is there anything coming for me?

Will I find happiness?

Will anyone love me?

The questions repeat in your head as the song plays.

It’s my fate

Don’t smile to me

Lie to me

Because I can’t get closer to you

There’s no name you can call me

You know that I can’t

Show you me

Give you me

I can’t show you a ruined part of myself

Once again I put a mask on and go to see you

Would the jump kill me?

That's the last question that you think of before your mind goes black and empty of thoughts.

You just look down at the water. Your world has stopped but the song just keeps playing. As you look down into the water.

Bloomed in a garden of loneliness

A flower that resembles you

I wanted to give it to you

After I take off this foolish mask

But I know

I can't do that forever

I have to hide

Because I'm a monster

I am afraid

I am shattered

I’m so afraid

That you will leave me again in the end

Once again I put on a mask and go to see you

What do I have in this world that could keep me from jumping?

My family?

They won't care.

My other half?

It doesn't even exist.

Happiness?

That doesn't also doesn't exist.

Money?......

.... that is just a privilege that will lead you to nothing. Nothing that everyone is looking for in this world. Because people long for love. And I don't have that.

Jimin?

Your mind stops and so does the song.

You take a few steps back.

"Maby not today." You hit your back against the tree trunk as you sit down.

You grab your pencil and start drawing the beautiful scenery that is in front of you. You have drawn it so many times but it still is so breathtaking.

                            --------------------

The sky slowly turns pink mixing in with yellow and at the top purple and then to a dark blue colour.

It's so beautiful.

You jump off the tree and go back to your car. Once you reach the car the sky has already turned completely black the only thing lighting it is a thousand specks of white......

.....the stars.

Maby that's what kept you from jumping. The beauty that is around you. The thousand starts the sunsets and sunrises. The beautiful lakes and the oceans.

You want to enjoy it someday with someone, you will love. To share these moments that are filled with the beauty around...

... Or maybe...

... it WAS Jimin. He risked his life for yours. You couldn't just kill yourself the next day. Because he would have risked his life for nothing. For a life that would have ended in suicide the very next day. And he would recognize your face in the news. That would hurt him. And you didn't want to hurt him.

So maybe... Maybe I should wait until he forgets me.
