Jungkook, Taehyung, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jin, and Namjoon just came in time for their class and were actually thankful since the bell still hasn't rung. They were having some small talks, maybe talking about what happened yesterday too.

Jungkook told them that it was his older brother whom they have seen talking with him yesterday. He said that Junghyun wanted to have a talk about something but Jungkook never really told them the specifics of it so they chose not to question anymore.

Jungkook didn't tell them how his dad wanted him and his mother to get back to their old house once again. He wasn't even sure how his father managed to find them. And his mother might not even tell him but Jungkook clearly knows that he and his mother keeps on changing houses because of that reason.

They were running away from his father.

He doesn't need to hear anything from his mother to know that. He doesn't really want to ask since all Mrs. Jeon keeps on telling him even from before was "I'm sorry that we need to change houses and school again, Jungkook... it's just my work, I need to travel a lot." Jungkook understood why his mother didn't tell him, she doesn't want to make him worry that's why.

Then after two years, his old man wanted them again. Jungkook doesn't give a fuck or two, his old man could fuck off because there is no way in hell that he would let his mother live with his asshole of a father once again. Not when his mistress was living in their house now.

Jungkook and Mrs. Jeon didn't even know that Mr. Jeon was having an affair with another woman and they just found out two years ago. They left immediately. They had no reason to stay. And the fact that Junghyun was older than Jungkook explains it all. Explains how his father was already cheating from Mrs. Jeon even when they were just in a 'loving' couple relationship... even before Mr. Jeon kneeled down and proposed like it wasn't a big deal.

"Too bad he's an asshole... I even considered asking him to be in our group because he seemed cool." Namjoon commented, referring to Jungkook's brother. Jungkook didn't really tell them that he was just his stepbrother. He doesn't accept it, doesn't consider it, neither give a shit about it.

"Cool my ass, the moment I saw that flashy smile I knew that something's fishy about him!" Taehyung stated in gritted teeth. "And I don't know if it's just me but he said something to Jiminie yesterday that made him run away! It's just... weird..." Taehyung narrowed his eyes as they proceeded to walk towards their classroom.

"Yeah, I saw how he looked at Jimin too..." Seokjin agreed next as he nods his head and placed his fingers below his chin like he was thinking about everything.

"Now it makes me think whether they knew each other from before...What do you think, Jungkook?" Hoseok asked, examining what Jungkook's reaction might be but Jungkook wasn't interested especially if it concerns his brother. He hates him that much. What's new? He never really liked him in the first place.

And he definitely knew the reason why... it was pure instincts after all.

"Oh, isn't that Jimin?" Yoongi pointed to Jimin who was basically walking towards their way from the lockers. It was easy to point him out after all. It was obvious with that black cloak on and those students' murmurs once he appears.

Jungkook was about to say something when Jimin was just mere feet away from them but he didn't get to speak. Jimin just walked passed by them but Jungkook didn't miss how Jimin's expression looked.

There's something off.

The look in Jimin's eyes scared him. It was sending him something. Like a sort of a warning and his heart felt it... his body felt the need to react right then and there. He badly wanted to grab on the arm and stop Jimin from walking any further.

But why? Jungkook wanted to know why he felt like this...

Why does he feel so nervous about how Jimin looked at this moment?

"Oops, someone's not in a good mood." Namjoon stated, referring to Jimin.

"What happened to him? I wonder if he's alright." Taehyung asked with worry, following Jimin's figure that already disappeared.

Jungkook looked from where Jimin came from and he saw his brother's mocking gazes and it followed where Jimin walked off too. Something was really really not right from the situation. Jimin started acting this way yesterday. When he had seen his brother.

Jungkook keeps on thinking of the possibilities. He was trying to figure everything out although he deemed it so hard because he hasn't really had a serious talk with Jimin ever since they visited his house and pissed the latter off. Jimin wasn't really the type to share things and he was sure that even if he would ask he wouldn't have his answer.

"Just what is his prob--"

"In the past... a boy I liked said I was ugly."

"SHIT!" Jungkook snapped his head back to where Jimin had run off to and he didn't waste his time as he started dashing away.

"Jungkook where are you--"

Jungkook didn't even stop even he heard Taehyung calling out for him. His eyes mainly focused on finding where Jimin could be. He knew something bad would happen. He was so sure. But he doesn't want to be.

"Fuck, don't you dare do something stupid Park Jimin!" Jungkook had shouted as he ran on the empty hallways since the bell had rung minutes ago already.

He needed to be fast.

He needs to.

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

The metal door from the rooftop made a loud clank sound when it hit the wall. I opened it and the air from up here blew right on my face. I could still feel something...

Why...

How...

But I don't want to feel anything anymore.

This needs to end.

I need to...

"I need to end this."

I walked sluggishly until I was at the edge of the rooftop. I climbed on the slightly higher part of that edge, positioning myself as I held onto the railings, my cloak now swayed in the air from the gusting wind.

Just thinking about it, this place looked really shitty. With only the old buildings and houses on view and the lamppost even from all the way up here, this neighborhood really isn't that impressive. Maybe I belonged here.

I shut my eyes, inhaling the air one last time, my grip on the railings tightening but the heaviness in my heart is still here... it needs to disappear. I want it gone...

Please...

I want it no more...

And that would only be possible if I would disappear too, right?

I can easily do that. No one would even care. No one would feel sad or feel remorse. I'm unimportant anyways.

"I'm sorry Mom, Dad... Hiroshi-kun, Akira, Josephine... Cooky... sorry for betraying all of you..." My eyes clenched even tighter. I breathe in and out, ready to jump from up here and telling myself how it would only hurt for a while and then the pain would stop after.

I can do this, I can bear with the pain for minutes... I bore with it my whole life so it's not a big deal.

Right.

Just a few more minutes Jimin and it will be gone.

You just have to close your eyes and jump... never look back and everything would disappear. The pain... especially the pain, Jimin.

It will end with you...

I breathed in and out once again as my eyes are still closed, my mind and body felt more relax and I was just about to take another brave step. I scoffed even from the mention of brave. I knew very well that this is me being such a coward for choosing this but I don't care anymore.

I don't care but why are my hands trembling? Why isn't my feet moving? If I would do this then why not now already? Why... Why am I thinking about those people? Friends... it tastes so foreign but could I call them that?

Taehyung... he would scold me for this, wouldn't he?

Hoseok-hyung... he would shake in fear and cry if he saw me like this.

Seokjin-hyung... he might grab me by the ear just to make me come down.

Namjoon-hyung... he could turn into a serious and reliable one so he would side with Jin-hyung in dragging me down.

Yoongi-hyung... he would pretend not to care but everyone could see how he was clenching on his hands tightly.

And Jungkook-hyung... he would be disappointed. I knew he would be but then he would give me an assuring smile. His eyes would turn sad... but I don't want him to be sad. I don't want him to give me a sad smile... But...

Jump, Jimin...

Just fucking jump.

"JIMIN!!!"

I opened his eyes for a moment knowing who owned the voice that just called me. I fought the urge not to look back but I failed and when I looked over my shoulder all I could see was a mop of hair all messed up. He was huffing and his chest was moving up and down. There's no doubt that he ran a marathon just to get here.

But why...

Why are you here Jungkook?

"J-Jimin... get d-down here..." He told calmly, a shot of worry was in his eyes. He was moving closer to where I was and I began to panic.

"Stop! Don't come any closer!" I yelled at him, my grip never leaving the railings.

Why... Why of all the times that I wanted to give up he would always be there at the exact same time?

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

Jungkook wasn't stupid, he knew what Jimin was about to do and it was starting to make him scared... worried... but frustrated and mad for some reason. Jimin was being so stupid. His brother might have hurt him a lot and he would admit how he wouldn't understand what Jimin was feeling but at least he knew that this was so messed up. This isn't the right thing to do. Never will.

"Jimin please, listen to me... get down from here and hold my hand..." Jungkook was moving forward once again, his hand reaching out to Jimin as his eyes were not leaving him.

Jimin shakes his head. "Go, Jungkook-hyung... just... just go." Jimin told with his head hung low and he turned his head to where it was earlier, looking elsewhere.

"I don't know how great this guy supposedly was but don't live your life based on one thing a guy you used to like said! He's not the only guy in the world!" Jungkook shouted his frustrations.

He doesn't know why but he was so pissed off. Maybe it was because of his dick of a brother, or maybe it was because of Jimin being stupid or maybe... just maybe he was bitter of the fact that Jimin used to like his brother. Jimin doesn't deserve such an asshole.

But he didn't tell Jimin the fact that he knows who made him like this. He chose not to, he wanted Jimin to tell him and not go over the line.

Jimin felt the need to voice out everything. He promised that this would be the last time that he would talk about his feelings.

"You are only saying that..." Jimin started, obvious tears began forming in his eyes.

"... because you're not ugly like me."

Those were the last words that Jungkook had expected to get from Jimin.

And soon Jimin's tears stained his cheeks. He felt empty once again, the pain from his first rejection he got from the very first guy that he ever liked in his life. The worst part was that he realized that he was used.

"Is that what this is still all about, Jim--"

"I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS, JUNGKOOK! I AM UGLY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?! NOBODY NEEDS SOMEONE LIKE ME!" Jimin began sobbing, his head hanging low.

"People were scared of me... they keep calling me a 'ghost', or 'monster', or 'witch' and everything but I don't really mind... I pretended not to care and I knew I was doing a pretty good job but then at the end of the day I knew it was impossible... I knew deep inside that it hurts me big time too..." Jimin clawed his hands on the railings he was holding onto.

"You were frightened of me before too, Jungkook-ah..."

But just when Jimin was about to make a step and do something once again, Jungkook speaks up. He voiced out what he really feels. He doesn't care about what would be the end result but he wanted to give his all and try.

"You're not ugly! You are just afraid to face everything! You are being a fucking coward, Jimin!" And Jimin froze in his spot.

Jungkook saw the hesitation in Jimin's movements so he decided to speak up once more whilst he was secretly inching forward towards Jimin's back figure.

"You only think like that because of a rejection? Really, Jimin? I thought you were better than that... Your past shouldn't decide on your future... and Jung-- that guy was wrong in judging you and saying all of that bullshit because seriously Park Jimin..." Jungkook finally grabbed a hold of Jimin's body and everything happened in a flash.

With Jimin's cloak flying in the air and Jungkook's right hand wrapped around Jimin's waist, they both fall pretty hard on the floor. Jungkook's back received the most impact so he slightly grunts as his face scrunched.

Jimin was on top of him, his face buried deep on his chest as sobs continued to echo. The way Jimin's body shakes made Jungkook think that Jimin might be scared as well so he did what he should. He hugged Jimin's figure, his right hand rubbing Jimin's soft locks as his other hand rubs soothings circles on Jimin's back. He waited for a few seconds before he grabbed Jimin's cheeks and now crystal-like eyes were staring right at his comforting and assuring ones.

"You are the most beautiful human being that I laid my eyes on, Park Jimin." Jimin's eyes softened although he was still biting on his bottom lip in hesitation. Now Jungkook got distracted and he stared on Jimin's lips for a bit too long.

He was winded by the flower in front of him. Jimin made him breathless.

"And you could jump... but I'll still hold you..." Jungkook brushed Jimin's bangs that were on the way, putting it behind his ears as he smiled ever so gently. "I'll make sure that we'll slowly fall... together."

The Jimin from two years ago would never really expect for this day to come, for this moment to happen wherein he... and this guy named Jeon Jungkook would suddenly walk in his life and smack his head on the back to wake him up... to confuse him... to comfort him... to make him feel weird but special.

And the least he never expected to happen was for Jungkook to kiss him like this.

Like he was the only thing that matters that moment.

And surprisingly...

Jimin felt his heartbeats once again.

It started beating for someone else and maybe it started from way back but Jimin only realized it now.

Jeon Jungkook... he caused this ravishing mishap.
