Chapter 15
Too Late To Run!The little girl pushed herself inside her hidden place trying to stay as quiet as she could. She heard a footstep getting closer to her and gasped in fear
Someone stopped by the tree and quickly whispered
"Yah … Kim Soojin … come out … its me"
She quickly brought her head outside her hidden place and looked at the guy who was slightly taller than her
"Oppa …"
"Yah … why are you sitting here? You'll catch a cold"
"I … I'm scared … that Ahjuma … she keeps …"
Her small hands trembled as she heard the glasses being shattered against the walls of the house and screams coming from inside the mansion.
"Oppa … Im not going in there … that Ahjumma hates me … lets run away"
"No she doesn’t … shes just upset … lets go in and apologize to her"
She hesitated before nodding and walking with her small feet behind him . They walked together towards the door of the mansion but she stopped as she heard the person screaming from inside mansion
"What do you expect me to do? To take care of that ' s kids? Every time I look at that little girl I feel like that is alive again and is looking at me. I want to kill her"
The older guy looked back at her as she stopped and stepped back
"Im not coming in Oppa … I think she really hates me … Im too scraed"
She said as she quickly ran back to the her hidden place and started crying …

She woke up panting looking at Taehyung's face looking down on her.
"Nuna … Are you alright?"
She looked around trying to make sense of her situation … It was all a nightmare … its not real … She thought looking back at Taehyung's slightly concerned face , giving him a tired smile
"Yeah … thanks for waking me up"
"Nuna … Are you having nightmares again?"
"This was the first time in a while … I havent been having them for a while "
"Nuna … maybe you should visit Yoon Nuna sometime"
She smiled her hand automatically reaching for his hair , patting his head
"Are you worried for Nuna?"
"Of course … I know how much you hate them"
"Don’t worry … its just in my mind… Its not real"
He nodded feeling a bit relieved
"I was gonna leave … so I thought maybe I'll say bye if youre awake."
She reached for her phone
"Now? Its midnight"
"I have to finish my painting before the cops wake up"
"Alright … do you want some money?"
"No its alright … I still have some from last time"
She nods as he stands up from her bed to leave when she stopped him
"Kim Taehyung … "
"Yeah Nuna?"
"Do you have your necklace with you?"
He smiles taking the silver coloured necklace from his shirt and shows her
"Of course Nuna … don’t worry …. Its always with me"
She smiled as she whispered "Alright … take care"
He leaves the room and she lies on the bed hearing the door being shut.
She looked at the window where the street light is beaming through the tiny windows and she sighs looking at the starless sky. These contextless nightmares are all she has from her childhood.

Jimin was looking at his phone screen scrolling through the news when he heard Dr Yoon
"Jimin Ssi?"
He quickly stood up and bowed
"Dr Yoon, I didn’t expect to see you today, I was just here to visit Hoseok Hyung!"
"I thought Hoseok Ssi already told you, someone came to visit him"
"Visit Hoseok Hyung? Did he accept?"
Dr Yoon smiled "Yeah , so I guess you need to wait for him to finish before you can meet him"
Jimin shifted in his place uncomfortably looking at the end of hallway where Hoseok's room was.
"Jimin Ssi, I thought you believe in Hoseok Ssi's strength … why are you so worried then?"
Jimin smiled faintly "I do … Its just that Im not sure if he is ready to meet people yet"
"The visit is monitored by nurses , you don’t have to worry."
Jimin nodded still unsure about the whole situation but his worried thoughts were diverted to Dr Yoon's firm words.
"I actually wanted to ask if we could talk"
"Us? About Hoseok hyung? Is everything alright?"
Dr Yoon smiled youre all about Hoseok Hyung arent you? She thought before saying
"No its about you, but only if you want to spare some time with me"
Jimin nodded unsure walking after her to her room. She walked to the small coffee machine beside the room and grabbed two cups filling it up with some coffee and walking back to the table.
"It must feel weird for you , isnt it?"
"It … actually is a bit, Im a bit worried Dr Yoon. Is Hoseok Hyung really fine?"
"He's fine Jimin, I didn’t bring you here about Hoseok Ssi, I want to know if you are doing fine Jimin"
He looked at Dr Yoon , the words somehow feel strange to him
"I … I'm … what do you mean Dr Yoon?"
"Exactly what Im asking you, are you alright?"
He looked at her as those words started to settle in his heart, those foreign words seem to bring back memories of the time when he almost lost the hope to live only to be brought back to life by similar words …
Flashback
Jimin walked to the locker room, he was still sweating from the performance he just finished. Everyone congratulated him on the performance while he walked through the crowded hallway to the changing room where his clothes were. He entered the room and closed it resting his back on the door as he closed his eyes.
You did well Park Jimin, this is it , you practiced to death for this, Just smile and enjoy it. He heard his thoughts but for some reason his heart was clenching in pain since the very beginning of the performance. He heard a knock on the door and opened the door seeing him behind the wooden structure, those evil eyes and dirty smirk plastered on those unkind lips … Minho … freaking Choi Minho was the last thing he wanted to see right now
"You did well Park Jimin, how was it? Being the STAR of the night! It was totally worth it hey?"
His smile disappeared as he watched those evil eyes looking back at him , mocking his whole existence
"By the way I heard your little friend is a bit unwell, they took her to hospital , She apparantly attempted suicide"
His heart dropped looking at him barely keeping up with his voice
"That’s why I told her not to mess with me, she really thought she can take me down" he laughed loudly as he walked closer to him
"This is why no one should ever mess with me, do you get it Park Jimin?"
"Who .. They took who to hospital?"
"Awww that’s kinda cute, are you worried about her now? The you sold to grab your spotlight tonigt Park Jimin! Don’t tell me youre feeling guilty now "
He looked at him , his lips still moving in his vision but the sounds faded as the thoughts started to attempt a mass shooting towards his brain "All those hours in practice room, all those sweat and tears was leading to this moment , To me almost killing someone to be able to stand on that stage, for what? Spotlight? Applause? Scholarship? Was it … worth It Park Jimin? It should be worth it , It should, I should be happy , I should be smiling but why does it hurt … why does it feel so wrong?
Tears started to roll down on his cheeks when he watched Minho muttering something before leaving. He rested on the lockers slowly rolling down on the floor as he whispered
"What did you do Park Jimin? What did you do?"
He closed his eyes and barely felt anything in his surronding for the next few hours only coming to his senses with those manly calm voice
"Hey are you alright? "
He looked up at the person looking down on him, he was a stranger but those concerned kind eyes became the reason he opened his eyes again, the reason he thought he still has a hope to live, to k
