You stopped scrolling through your feeds when you saw the post on Jimin's account. You remember what happened earlier that day and that's when guilt crept up your mind.

Flashback to the day before

Your college was having its Annual Fest Week coming in a few weeks and since you were a part of the cultural society, you were in charge of the dance and performances that were going to be held during the week. Also, the decorations and every other arrangement was on you meaning you were hella busy.

For the final stage practice, you were getting props set up. Mark, one of your classmates was helping you with the labour when you heard a group of people entering the auditorium. It was Sunmi and her group of friends. Jimin was also one of her close friends and he accompanied her too.

You rolled your eyes at how carelessly he was walking past all the students with material and decorations splattered all over the ground, having no care in the world.

You heard your friend Risa, who was making a banner with your college's name on it sitting beside the entrance door, gasping suddenly. You turn around only to catch a glimpse of blue water paint spilled all over the white sheet and half of the design ruined.

"Can you not see? Dumbass!" She cursed Sunmi for ruining everything she worked on very hard. Giving no mind to the situation, Sunmi walked passed with all of the girls and guys behind. Jimin stayed and bent down beside Risa to help her clean a little of the mess.

"I'm sorry. She is.." he was about to say when Risa cut him off mid sentence.

"Shut it! Go away" she spat at him and carried on correcting the mess herself. Defeated, Jimin stood up to follow the rest of the group past you.

You were watching everything and cursing him for his behaviour in your head. Mark asked for another one of the paper craft he was hanging on top of the stage and you mindlessly handed him one. In the middle of taking the article from your hand, the metal ladder Mark was climbing onto, lost it's balance and the next thing you know, the ladder was falling down with Mark toppling over.

But before you could feel the impact of his body and the metal over yours, you felt a push from behind. When you regained your breath after the impact, you turned around and what came to your line of vision was Jimin. On the ground and with a very heavily groaning Mark and the ladder on his right hand.

You hurriedly walked over to inspect him but the little cry that left Jimin's lips was enough to tell you that he's been hurt. Badly.

So without any further adieu, a few boys came rushing towards him and the next thing you know, he was being carried with his hands around two boy's shoulders out of the room. After a few rushed seconds, everyone got back to their normality and continued doing their work.

Present time

Later that day you found out that he suffered a hairline fracture on his wrist and a strained muscle on the calf. He had been admitted to the hospital since his parents were out of town and were needed for discharge and other formalities.

You felt the guilt creeping up as you remember how that ladder was supposed to fall over you and you were supposed to be where he was right now. In a hospital bed with bandages over his hands and legs.

You made a quick dinner and were about to swallow the guilt down with the rice balls when a series of notifications broke your trance. Jimin posted a picture of himself tagging the college and he looked hurt.
