flashback

The same thing happened on a different day today. jimin got bullied again.

"hey, bitch. why are you looking so sad, huh?" chaewon is the one who bullied the innocent 13-years-old boy. jimin did nothing at all, nor do he knew the boys but he just kept getting bullied by them.

"not... not your problems." jimin replied, scared. he tried to walk faster but another boy made him fell to the ground, bruises on his knees and palms.

the four boys laugh sarcastically. "what did you say, shortie?" the highest boy lifted jimin's chin which was facing the ground. the boy then slapped jimin hard, made a loud noise. and it caused a red mark on his chubby cheek, as well as his body ended up on the ground. it hurts, but jimin didn't cry because he knew that he's strong enough to face those bullies. he touched his redden cheek, trying to control himself from tearing up.

"i said..." he stood up, trying to balance himself. he rubbed his hands and quickly slapped the highest boy.

"...it's not your problem." he coldly replied.

the bullies were speechless by his uncalled move.

"you bitch..." the four boys then beat him up, letting their waves of anger over the boy.

moans and whines escaped jimin's lips. jimin finally let his tears out of his eyes. it hurts so much, knowing that no one is there to hear his screams, no one is there to help him and no one is there to protect him. he cried loudly and tried to fight back but he didn't have the ability to because he's too tired and his mind have made up to give up from this cruel life. why the bully bullied him and why not others? why did no one help him even though he asked for their help? why wasn't there anyone who protected him? why did life was acting so cruel to him?

"huh, don't act like you're so great, motherfucker." the bullies leader spitted at jimin.

"let's go."

they left the boy after beaten jimin up, without bothering to look back. they gave jimin bruises and bloodstains. they have really beaten him hard and doesn't even know that they're going too far. thinking that it's all a joke and they can apologize later, is what is in the bullies mind. what bullshit. they really do not know that bullying can cause death and a bad mental attack. but still, jimin has a pure heart. he wished that those bullies will change one day.

jimin slowly stood up, dusting off his dirty school uniform. he then walks to a bridge slowly, not far from the dark alley he was in. his legs were hurt so he couldn't move fast. reached his destination, the sky suddenly turned dark, as if it understood jimin's feelings at the moment. jimin climbs up the rail of the bridge, attempting to jump over. his eyes were gazing around, doesn't care about his surroundings. he looks at the sky, then the swift water flow in the river.

he smiled bitterly. "sigh... there's no point of living now, right?" he said to himself. no response, just the sound of the cold breeze.

he widens his arms, ready to jump and leave the world, forever.

"goodbye, everyone." closed his eyes, he let his body free, falling down.

but, even before his feet managed to leave the rail, a hand grabs his arm, making him lose balance and fell over somebody.

as a reflex, he closed his eyes tight, scared if it's another bully. but after hearing a girl's panting, he opened his eyes slowly. jimin could hear the girl's heartbeat which was very loud and it was beating very fast.

"w...what were you trying to do?!" the girl cried.

jimin was confused. questions were flooding his mind but he quickly sat properly and faced the girl.
