'tear' Jimin's Notes °4 July Year 22°

Year 22
4 July
(Part 1)

I finally came to my senses as I washed my arm roughly under the water.
I felt as if I was scraping the skin from ly arm with the way I was rubbing so vigorously.

My hands were shaking.
My breath was unsteady.
I watched as the blood continued to run down my arm.

My eyes were bloodshot as the events that had
taken place a few moments earlier came
back to me in small fragments.
-
In a matter of a few small seconds my concentration broke.
I was practicing the dance which I was to do paired
with Noona that my dance club had organized.

Our movements became tangled and
we crashed into each other.

I made a solid fall and my arm began to bleed.
In that moment that day at the flower arboretum came back to me.

I thought I'd overcome that day,
but now that it'd come back,
I begged to differ...

I had to run away.
I had to cleanse myself.
I had to hide.
-
When I looked back at the small child in the mirror,
all I saw was the eight year old boy who'd
ran in the rain that day at the arboretum.

And then I realized, after running to care for my own injury,
that Noona had also been hurt.

I have a strong feeling Jimin was
abused by someone at the arboretum.
A teacher or family member maybe?

Maybe he was raped by a worker,
because he mentioned being
cleansed as if he were dirty.
Even though he could've
been referring to his arm wound.

He also remembered the time at the arboretum
when getting hurt, so he could've
most likely been abused.
What do you guys think?
