A body lies dead on the floor with half of its head cut off by a tall man with his back facing towards Jimin. The man had hairy arms, is wearing overalls, and what seems to be a strap on the back of his balding head. Quite muscular and...an axe? Jimin was too in shock to see the scene right in front of him until the tall man turned around to face him. The tall man was wearing a white smiley face mask, a creepy one in fact, wearing overalls and some red ribbon around his neck. Not long after Jimin ran away from the guy because once you see a strange guy, just run. Jimin went down the flight of stairs until there was a wall blockade saying:

NOTICE:
NO ENTRY TO 
GROUND LEVEL.

“What the hell?” Jimin mumbled reading the notice sign on the wall blockade. He panicked on why he could not go down the stairs, but instantly ran up the flight of stairs where it led to the roof because there wasn't any time for thinking at that very moment. He pushed open the door and ran right out to the huge fences yelling for help. However, no one seems to be around him except that one creepy tall male wearing a mask holding a freaking axe!

The sight other than the fences were skyscrapers. Endless of skyscrapers. Jimin looked down off of the edge and his eyes blown wide seeing how far down it is from up top. No signs of life walking at the bottom. He backed up in fear from how far he is from the ground and looked around quickly to find some way to escape until his eyes landed on a rope bridge that leads to another roof building. He instantly ran towards to the rope bridge only to be stopped by the fear of heights. His breath increasing, heart beating faster than ever, eyes blown wide like they are about to come out of its eye sockets, and a mess of confusion of what is going on and where he is at currently. The rope bridge in front of him swung a little by a small breeze, nothing to protect him in fact but to hold onto the rope as tightly as possible.

“Th-there's got to be a different way!” Jimin whisper yelled to himself.

An idea came to his mind by contacting the police, however, that didn't work in his luck. He tried calling his parents too. Still no luck! All that's left is his...boyfriend. His boyfriend that went missing for about a week only to get a rumor that he had moved somewhere else without saying so. This made Jimin curious on many levels, so he decided to give it a try to contact his boyfriend.

“Jimin?”

Jimin's eyes widened when his boyfriend picked up the call immediately telling him where he is while breaking down sobbing.

“B-babe! I'm somewhere on a skyscraper and I-I don't know what to do or what's happening! Please help me!” Jimin begged explaining a little bit.

“No... You're stuck here too, huh?”

“Wait...s-so...you're in this world somewhere?” Jimin asked looking out in the distance behind the fence where skyscrapers are seen all around the building he is currently on.

“Seems like it. Just calm down okay? Listen to me because I'm going to tell you everything I know about this world.”

Jimin nodded, “O-okay.” He stuttered and began listening to his boyfriend.

His boyfriend began explaining, “First of all, this world you are in is no dream nor an illusion. It is surely “surely” real. Don't panic and consider jumping off... so hold on!” Jimin for sure can hear the worry in his boyfriend's voice. “Since it looks like we can't go to the ground, the downstairs are blocked off and the only access is the upper floors. And the buildings are connected with rope bridges.” Causing Jimin to look at the bridge he occurred when he first saw it. “Yeah... I see it.” he replied to his boyfriend. “I am gonna use those to get to you. Be safe until I get to you!”

A pause happens for merely a few seconds which caused Jimin to think that something happened over the call, but his boyfriend spoke again.

“Jimin, you see that really tall tower?” Jimin replied with a yes as he looked at the tallest tower in the far distance.

“I will locate you from that-”

“Agh!” Not even hearing anymore words, Jimin's phone was hit out of his hold by an axe from that man.

“Jimin?!” That was the only thing Jimin heard before it fell under the fence and all the way down to the ground not being able to see it. Jimin didn't even get a chance to ask about the masked man with an axe for a weapon. Frick! I've gotta use the bridge now! He said in his head. With that said he ran right onto the rope bridge and held tightly on the ropes when it swayed from side to side. The sound of breeze came all of the sudden in Jimin's ears, as the thought of falling then waking up as if it was a dream, thinking the world he is in isn't real at all. Jimin shook his head from the brutal thought of falling. 

No! I can't die! I know he'll rescue me! Jimin said in his head taking small steps on the rope bridge as he mentioned his boyfriend rescuing him. Only the matter of hope can resolve that those two might meet each other if fate doesn't hit one of them. Maybe both of them might get hit with fate.

What Jimin did not know was that the man with the axe is standing by the rope bridge watching him as he took small steps. A mask that has such a creepy smile can give anyone the chills once it starts running after someone. On second thought, Jimin became curious if the masked man can speak or understand in a way, so he turned around once he stopped taking steps. Now he faced the masked man at who stood by the bridge.
