Jimin Sighed as he looked at his wrist watch again. 21:37. He ruffled his hair out of frustration. He was late again. After college, Jimin was walking back home, in which he was sure his parents were mad at him for being late again. Even thinking about it made him scared.

            Is Jimin a coward? Yes, he is. The reason for him to be late also was related to him being a coward. His college mates that stated Jimin’s face is something that they can’t handle, always looked forward to meet him again, but not in an inviting way. Bullying? It was, kind of.

           And Jimin was terrified of them. He plays hide and sick all day at college, but before he gets out, he has to be sure that they weren’t around. Sometimes they go home earlier and made it safe for Jimin, but sometimes they would wait at the gates, joking around and bullying others, till they decide to go back home or wherever they are planning to go, in which Jimin had no idea about.

            Unfortunately, today was the latter. Plus, they waited till 20:35 and Jimin had trouble, hiding inside the college, in which the gates were closed that he had to climb the wall and get to the other side later, and also waiting for a bus at that time.

            Why doesn’t Jimin walk out of the college with other kids, so he can hide himself among them and secretly get away? Being the coward he is, he was scared of taking the risk of being seen and getting bullied again. Jimin was not the kind to take risks, nor was he mischievous. That explains why he never had a girlfriend or a friend all this time.

              Jimin started walking faster as he felt the cold of the night getting through his coat. He rubbed his arms, so he can keep himself hot. As he could see his home in the distance, he sighed again. The frightening event of him getting scolded flashed through his mind.

              But he can’t tell them what had happened either. It would only make everything worse. Jimin cursed those people, who deprived others rights, under his breath as he put his hand on the door knob. ‘It’s gonna be fine, Jimin.’ He encouraged himself before opening the door and walking in. “M-Mom, I’m home!” he uttered, not as loud as he usually does, after closing the door behind him.

               For Jimin’s surprise there was no reply. ‘Maybe they didn’t hear me’, he thought. He thought to himself whether he should silently walk upstairs or just go and talk to his parents. Finally, he decided to go to his parents, since they’d be worried about him.

                   The house was silent except for the sound of the television, in which a football game was airing. It shocked Jimin to see that his father wasn’t in front of the TV, because his father usually never moves from the couch when a football game was airing.

                  ‘Weird’ Jimin mouthed as he walked towards the kitchen passing the Television, not daring to turn it off. As he entered the kitchen, which was clean and neat, his eyes roamed to find his mother. But no one was there though the dinner was pleasantly served on the dining table. Jimin was confused at the moment.

                      This is something unusual. His dad watching TV and mom in the kitchen was something he saw everyday when he get back from college. He checked down stairs one more time. ‘Maybe upstairs’ he uttered as he turned to go to the staircase.

                      But something he saw prevented him from doing so. He walked a little more towards the back door, which lead to their back yard. And through the glass in the door, he saw a figure of someone, dressed all in black and he was saying something, which of course couldn’t hear.

                      As he observed the figure, he saw the man raising his hand and in his hand was a gun, which scared the hell out of Jimin. His eyes widened as he heard the ‘bang’ sound of the gun twice. He kind of ran to the door and looked out (still through the glass) and his eyed welled up in tears when he saw what had happened. His mother and father were lying down dead.

                       He couldn’t talk nor catch his breath. His heart beat increased and all he did was staring. But soon his eyes caught another person, who was tearing up, screaming in pain, trying to break free and cursing the others, but he was held back by another two, who were wearing black as well.

                    “Jungkook!” He shouted unconsciously, getting attention of his brother, unluckily, of the guys in black as well. Jimin covered his mouth with his right hand as he bent down to hide himself. No matter how much he wished that they didn’t hear him, soon he could hear the footsteps of them walking towards the house.

                       His heart was not beating normally and he was sweating head to toe. He did not wanna die yet. Not yet!  And in a second, he was out of the house and running as fast as he could. He ran through the back door to his beloved brother? No, it was the front door.

Jimin left Jungkook, his blood brother, behind and ran for his life.

But the worse thing is, Jungkook saw his brother behind the door. Cowardly Jimin.
