seeing you guys roast this gif has given me clear skin and better grades. Thank you for giving meaning to my life again.
"What the hell is going on?"
Jin's voice startled Jimin, causing his arm to whack me in the face. I lifted my head up, holding onto my swollen cheek. Namjoon lifted his head and I took notice of the bandage on his eye.
Same Namjoon, same.
I groaned in pain as my eye throbbed. "Jimin, you shit bag."
He ignored my complaining, and was focused on the three men standing at the door, specifically his older brother. "Jin, listen to m—
"Save it." Jin interrupted him. "I don't wanna hear any more of your bullshit."
"What time is it?" I tilted my head, my eyes still half closed.
"Time for you to get a watch."
"Not now Namjoon."
"Sorry." He mumbled.
"Did I not make myself clear?" Jin turned to me. "I told you, you're not allowed up here. Did you listen to a word that came out of my mouth?"
"Don't fucking talk to her like that." Jimin yelled. I backed away, and looked at him. Did he just, defend me?
"And get the hell out. This isn't your room anyways. I can sleep with who ever I want, whenever I want." Jimin added.
"He doesn't mean it like that." I gave Jin a nervous smile.
Jimin nudged my shoulder.
"No you can't, and you will not." Jin stepped closer to him. "Jimin I've had it with you and—
"Sir." One of the guards interrupted him. " I have urgent updates about the girl you sent off."
"I'll deal with you later." Jin mumbled, turning around.
"What do you mean?" Jimin stood from the bed as they began to leave. "I'm coming too."
"Yeah, no you're not." Jin gave him a fake smile. I hope you enjoy your punishment."
Jimin raised his middle finger as soon as he turned around. "What a fucking douche bag." He muttered.
I stood there with my arms crossed.
"What?" Lowered his brows.
"The one you sent off? What the hell does that mean?" I asked, but he just shrugged it off.
"It's nothing."
"Is it Lisa?" I lowered my brows as he nodded.
"You sick bastard—" I disappointedly shook my head. "You knew, and you didn't do anything."
"Would you calm down." Jimin narrowed his eyes as he stepped closer to me.
"She's gonna fucking die because of you." I shoved his chest back.
"She's not gonna fucking die." He yelled, grabbing my arms.
"What if it was me Jimin or what if it was Tae—?" He let go of my arms and just listened. "Would you have just sent us off and have us killed?"
He silently gazed at my eyes, not knowing what to say.
"You're an asshole." I spat before walking towards the door.
"Wait." I heard him yell as I continued to walk out of his room.
"Leana."
I slowly came to a stop as I could hear his footsteps behind me. I'll admit it, he got me with the whole name calling thing. Jimin gently grabbed onto my shoulders and turned me so I was facing him. I avoided his gaze, and looked down at the floor.
"I'm not trying to hurt anybody." His hands were by his side as he spoke.
"You have to help me then." I pushed my tongue against my cheek as he lowered his brows.
"The only thing we can do, is search for her location, but it's not as easy as it looks." Jimin sighed.
"What's the problem?" I curiously tilted my head.
"We have to cross from out there, but you're not allowed outside the facility." Jimin explained. "I guess I'm taking you with me."
My lips curved into a smile as reached over to give him a hug. He raised both his brows as my arms touched his body. I quickly pulled back, biting my bottom lip. "Yeah, let's just pretend that never happened, got it?"
"Got it." Jimin gave me a thumbs up.
"Thanks." I quietly muttered.
"I'll be at your room in ten minutes." Jimin informed me as he began walking away. "If you're not ready by then, the deals off."
"Got it." I quickly nodded, before rushing down the hall.
I opened the door to my room, but Tae was no where to be found. I changed into comfortable clothes, ones that let my body breathe. I sat on my bed, with my head rested in my hands, when I heard a knock.
"We have to leave, now." I heard Jimin yell from outside.
"It's hasn't even been two minutes." I narrowed my eyes while opening the door for him.
"You seem ready."
Yeah, I'm ready to kick some ass. I'm kidding, that's probably not what we're doing at all. I popped my dream bubble and realized Jimin had already begun walking away. "Wait." I chased after him.
Jimin lowered his brows as he reached a door with a code bar next to hit. He punched in the numbers, and let the door click open. We stepped outside, and the blooming flowers caught my eyes for a second time. "Wait, isn't this the garden?"
"Yeah."
"Why are we here again—?" I squinted my eyes.
"Can you swim—?" He suddenly asked.
"I mean I'm not the best swimmer, but yeah sure." I replied, confused.
"Good." He remarked as we walked out of the garden.
I was faced by a large sea of water, and an island following it shortly. This isn't what I expected when he asked me if I knew how to swim.
"Wait, we have to swim to that." I pointed to the blurry island.
"You wanna find out if she's alive or not?" He crossed his arms.
"Well damn." I hissed at his cold attitude, before stepping into the water.
It wasn't freezing cold, and it wasn't warm either. I guess somewhere in the middle of that.
"Swim as far as you can." Jimin comfortingly encouraged me, although it wasn't working.
I felt like I was in the olympics, like seriously—we've been swimming for almost an hour now. Maybe I'm just exaggerating, but this is really starting to make me feel nauseous. My muscles felt weak, but I saw that we weren't too far from the island and ignored the pain. Jimin made it to the shore before I did, then came over to help me up. He grabbed both my arms, and lifted me out of the water. The air felt ice cold on my body, making me want a warm towel.
My breathing was staggered as I finished coughing out the water I had accidentally swallowed. I didn't expect Jimin to be so comforting, but he sat beside me, patting my back, waiting for me to finish. I rested back on my elbows, slowly pushing myself up.
"You okay?" He casually asked.
Do I look like I'm fucking okay? I just nearly drowned while swimming a good thirty miles into the fucking sea. What kind of a question is that?
"Yeah, I'm okay." I nodded, trying to keep my breathing steady.
"Then we need to get going now."
We walked into the deep green forest, surrounding by all sorts of wild animals. Jimin looked back every once in a while to make sure I was fine. It seemed as if he knew where he was going, but soon enough we were obviously lost.
"Jimin, just stop." I sighed, while grabbing his shoulders. "We're lost."
He sat down on a broken tree log, and I sat next to him. I hugged my body tightly, as my clothes and hair were all drenched in water. I took a good look around at the forest we were in. What's the purpose of all this? I sighed, trying not to fry my brain with too much thinking, although something else caught my attention.
"Jimin." I quietly whispered his name.
"What."
For some reason, the words I wanted to say wouldn't escape my lips. Jimin looked , and saw I had wide eyes. His eyes followed my gaze.
"Holy shit." He said backing away. He looked at me, my eyes still glued to it. I quickly grabbed his hand, squeezing as tight as I can.
"What is that?" I asked, very faintly.
"I don't know." He softly spoke. The creature was turned around, feasting on meat. That was our only opportunity to get out alive. He looked at me, and tightened his grip on my hand.
"Here's what we're going to do. We're going to walk as quietly as possible to that tree over there, and then we're going to climb it." He instructed.
I looked at the tall tree, and gulped.
He gestured for me to move first, so I carefully got up from the log, and stepped back slowly. Jimin followed my steps. The water dripping off my hair was making it hard to stay quiet.
I turned around to look at Jimin, and screamed at the top of my lungs. He covered my mouth. The animal was now meters away from us, licking blood off his mouth from it's last meal.
"Forget the tree." He whispered. "Run."
We both turned on our feet, and ran through the deep forest. Jimin was still holding my hand, tugging me along, since he was faster.
"Get down." I pulled his arm as we both fell to the floor, while the animal missed it's attempt to claw our eyes out. He quickly pulled me up again, and continued to drag me through the forest trees.
Scratches from twigs were plastered onto our bodies, while pointed branches left deeper cuts. I held the gash with one arm, the other still holding Jimin's hand.
"The door." Jimin let out a sigh of relief.
"Jimin go." I pushed him front of me, as he stalled and felt my shirt rip with a stinging pain on my lower back. I looked over my shoulder, but it was completely out of my sight.
We reached the door, and Jimin quickly punched in the passcode. Once the door unlocked, he pushed it open, and we ran inside the building. He forced the door closed, before falling next to me on the floor.
We were both out of breath, shivering in our wet clothes. I looked down at my hand that was still intertwined with his. I gently laid my head on his shoulder, letting my eyes rest from the exhaustion.
"Jimin—?" He heard a voice say.
"What are you doing here? And what happened to your clothes?" The old man asked, worriedly.
This guys was infamous around here. He's that one scientist that created every futuristic addition to our modern world.
"We came here to see you." Jimin muttered, out of breath.
The scientist glanced over at me and raised a brow.
"She's a friend." Jimin remarked.
"Ah, I see." He nodded. "You two must be freezing. Come with me, I'll give you a room so you two can clean up, and my workers will serve you a meal."
The scientist went to grab two towels after Jimin nodded. He looked at me, not wanting to wake me up, but knew he had to otherwise I'd get sick.
"Hey." Jimin whispered.
I peaked through my hand, so only my eyes showed.
"Hi." I quietly replied.
"You need to get changed. There's towels and extra clothes." Jimin grabbed my hand, pulling me up.
The man handed us towels, even spare clothes, and pointed to an open room. I set the everything on the bed, and Jimin's hand left mine, as he reached for his shirt.
Is there like a bathroom I can change in?
"Change, you'll get sick." He insisted, putting on a fresh shirt.
I removed my drenched shirt, and he handed me a towel. I dried my body, and grabbed shirt from the floor.
"Wait." Jimin came up from behind me with a small bandage in his hand and wrapped it around the painful wound.
I changed into the warm shirt, and fuzzy pants that were left on my bed, while Jimin finished putting on his jeans.
"Nice pants." He chuckled.
"Shut up." I pushed his shoulder.
I lied back on the bed, not having enough energy to move. "Do you think they're looking for us?" I suddenly asked him.
"Don't worry about it, i'll deal with them." Jimin lied down next to me. "Do you want to sleep?"
"Yeah." I could barely speak as my eyes began to drift into a light sleep.
I grabbed onto his shirt and pulled him towards me, just before he left. "Stay."
"Please."
Jimin sighed as he defeatedly laid beside me.

"What do you mean you don't know where she is?" Jungkook yelled.
Tae shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe she's with that guy, Jimin."
Jungkook dashed out of the room and upstairs, as he pushed open the door, to find Jimin's room empty.
"That's it, i'm telling someone." Jungkook angrily muttered.
"Telling someone what?"
