MADHOUSE || PJM

#6

my sobs are the only thing that can be heard under the cold, silent night.
jimin holds me tight, as if trying to hold my broken pieces together.

the pain is unbearable. i never felt something like this before, it's the first time i let myself feel the loss of my parents and it's devastating.

jimin grabs my waist and turns me around.
i'm crying breathlessly in front of him, this is so embarrassing.

he takes my face between his hands, his hands soft and warm against my cold cheeks. he forces me to lift my gaze and meet his beautiful eyes.
"you need to face what you feel, y/n, even if it's painful. it's eating you inside."

his voice sounds so soft and calming. is he bipolar? first he's a complete idiot and now he acts as if he cares about me.

i try to calm down and i slowly stop crying. i wipe off my tears, and he doesn't stop looking at me the whole time.
"do you feel better?"

i nod. after crying a whole river, i actually feel better. now that i've let out everything i had inside me, i feel a sense of peace run through my body.
"thank you."
i say, looking into his eyes.

he nods and turns around.
"now go to sleep."
he added coldly.

yes.. jimin is definitely bipolar.

i don't say anything else, and i open the door, leaving.

-

the guard is sleeping.. thank goodness. i silently walk down the corridor and enter my room.

what the hell just happened..? how did i end up crying in jimin's arms?

i walk to my bed and freeze completely as i see another note, on my pillow.
with shaky hands, i take it and read it.

"you enjoyed his company, didn't you?
but don't forget who you belong to.
sleep well."

i frown in confusion.
whose company? jungkook's, or jimin's?

shivers run down my spine. a stranger i following my steps. how did he even enter my room? i don't feel safe in my own room now, or anywhere else anymore.

a few days later..

the past few days were pretty boring. i didn't see jungkook, jihye told me he's been busy with a project. i miss him. he makes me smile and that's something i need.

i saw jimin a few times walking past the canteen, but we didn't speak, he didn't even dare to look at me.

it's finally friday afternoon, classes just finished and i walk back to my room.

i walk around the same corner i saw the blood the other night. i wonder if it was all just my imagination..

i'm starting to question my sanity.
i see jihye waiting for me in front of my room.

"hey, i've been waiting for you."

"oh, why?"

"a few people from the first floor will gather tonight in a small house in the woods, and i've noticed you've been a bit down these days, so i think some fresh air and distraction will do good."

"another gathering?"

"yeah, i already have a escape plan."

"i'm really starting to question the security of this place.."
