Worth The Chase

Chapter 1

JIMIN'S POV

AGE: 11 YEARS OLD

"Ow! That hurts, Hyung!" I winced at the pain Yoongi-hyung is giving me.

"I told you not to follow me, Pabo. You're embarrassing me."

"But I promised I will be a good boy and not mention anything stupid. I swear!" I said as I pouted and gave him the cutest puppy eyes he have ever seen.

He rolled his eyes and sighed. "Jimin-ah, our hangouts are stictly for 12 year olds only. You're still 11. You're too young to come. And besides, don't you want to play video games at home? I will accompany you as soon we'll finish."

I lowered my head and stole a glimpse at the older guys behind him. The other one was rolling their eyes on me while giving a disgusting look. I sniffed and swallowed the growing lump on my throat. "B-But..."

"Yoongi, are you coming or what?" The taller boy said.

I heard Hyung sighed and took a few steps forward. I lifted my head, seeing him leave me. He took one last look at me before the dark succumbed to him completely. I can't help but cry and just go home.

I swear I'm cool just like those boys!

3 hours later

Ring! Ring! Ring!

I groaned at the sound of our telephone ringing as I watched my mom pick it.

"Hello, Yoona my dear! What's up?"

oh, it's just mommy's best friend.

"Yoongi is not here, bub. Jimin said he went to see his friends after school... What?! He's not yet home?!"

That was all I needed to hear as I reached for my coat and exited our door. I heard my mom calling out my name but I ignored her.

Yoongi-hyung has been making great efforts to make other friends aside from me ever since he went to 7th grade. He kept telling and reassuring me I was enough but making friends in Highschool was a must to never be bullied. I scoffed at the toxic system our society is trying to build to a 12-year old boy.

I searched for every alley, whether it was bright or dark. Whether it had dogs or not. I have to find him before he gets hurt.

Soon, I heard familiar laughter echoing an alleyway just across the street. As I got there, I peeked my small head as I saw Yoongi-hyung being laughed at by a group. I could see it in his face that he had regretted every decision he made. Fear and sadness took over his body. I can't see him like this. He's too precious.

I began thinking of a plan on how to beat three taller boys than me.

Come on, small brain. Think!

I saw a big rock chilling beside a lamppost.

Ting!

I gathered all my strength and energy and threw the rock at the tallest boy among the three.

"Hey! Why don't you pick someone your size, uglyface!" I shouted and signaled Yoongi to run.

They threw their heads on me and began running. TO ME.

"YOONGI! RUN!"

"Hyung, how many times do I have to tell you? I have a weird feeling about your boyfriend."

"Oh shut up, Minnie. You're just jealous you don't have oneee~"
