ELUSIVE

STAND BY ME

"Jimin-ah, killing me will show everyone that you're no different with your parents' murderer. You'll be the same as them!" Yerin said, trying to stop Jimin from pulling the gun's trigger.

"NO! No, I'm not! They're killing innocent people. They are betrayal! And so did your brother! You shall learn that there is no damn term as best friend in this world. In the end, the one closest to you will end up betraying you. And I will stop their generation of betrayals!" Jimin said, fixing his gun in his grip.

"My brother is not a betrayal! It's just you who had chose the wrong path. I believe my brother did not want to see you ended up like this! He did not want you to be a criminal, that's why he hide Yuju from you." Yerin said, almost sound pathetic to Jimin.

"STOP IT!! I'm gonna make you silent! FOREVER!" Jimin said, his eyes is teary and flaming red. He was ready to pull the trigger for real. Seeing how determined and furious Jimin is, Yerin was very scared, couldn't think of anything else except her life will end here.

The waiting for the bullet to be digging deep into her flesh is the real pain, waiting for death. However the noise of Jimin's grunts change the situation. The loud gunshot shook the dilapidated room. However, the shot had shifted towards the ceiling instead. 

Realizing that the bullet has been released but no harm was did to her body, Yerin slowly opened her eyes, only to see Taehyung was holding Jimin's hand which hold the gun up to the air. Both were exchanging such different looks. Taehyung looks very furious with his fiery eyes while Jimin somehow looks shocked and enraged too.

"Aren't you-... URGH!!"Jimin was about to ask but Taehyung had his hand twisted to his back, making him screamed in pain instead. Not wanting to lose, Jimin tried to attack back by trying throwing a back kick, aiming for Taehyung's thigh, but he was a lot faster than him. 

Like he could read the attack, Taehyung quickly avoids it and threw Jimin's body to a bunch of broken pieces of chairs. Seeing Jimin is struggling with the pain, Taehyung use the precious time to go to Yerin and untie her hands.

"I want you to look for Eunha after this. She might be waiting for you. Walked out from this room and you'll see a door on your left. Just run the stairs, and find Eunha!" Taehyung said as he unties her hands.

"What about you?" Yerin asked; worry if Taehyung might not be able to escape. Or worse, he did not even planning in escaping himself.

"I'll be delaying him, so you have time to run!" Taehyung guides. "No!, Come with me and-..." before Yerin could continue, gunshot can be heard again. This time, it hit right at the wall beside Yerin, causing Yerin to flinch in fear and pain as it was very close to her left ear, which causing her ears to ring in such uncomfortable way.

"No one will leave this room, unless you're breathless." Jimin warned, pointing the gun to both of them, very close.

Taehyung slowly stand up with both of his hands on his ear level, his back is facing Jimin, while signaling Yerin to finish unties her ankles. With her ears still ringing hard, Yerin tried her best to obey and finish releasing her legs from the tight tie.

"You barged in without any weapon? That's pure stupid!" Jimin provoked and laugh hysterically. Not affected by Jimin's laugh and underestimation, Taehyung spun his body to face Jimin, once again attacking him with his fiery eyes.

"You might have once beat Jaehyung, but you'll not this time." Jimin said and loaded the gun, with the trigger being pulled, he will be done. "Be ready to join the others!"

"After you." Taehyung answer calmly and began pulling Jimin's hand, twisting it so that he let go of the gun. He locks his legs and holds him that way. "YERIN RUN!" Taehyung ordered.
