34. Rules and their importance

Judas - Lady Gaga

Jungkook

I had read about curfews and riots, but I never experienced them in my life. I was sure the tense environment in Jimin's room was pretty close to it. He waited for everyone to agree with him, and when no one answered for the next few seconds, he practically flew out of the room.

I ran after him, starting a commotion.

Taehyung Hyung grabbed Jimin and he pushed him back. Christoph was next to hold him, but it was as though anger had doubled his strength. He was unstoppable.

I felt like crying. He was hurt because of me. Urich was hurt because of me. I was to be blamed for anything that was going to happen.

My friend had warned me that he had seen the fifth years' outside Jimin's dormitory wing, but I ignored him like every other time. We had been sneaking in for almost a year, and nothing had happened, so I took all the warnings for granted. 

I recollected when Jimin wasn't supportive of us waltzing in unannounced. He had a reason. I had to find it the ugly way.

As he roared to get out of almost everyone's grip, and no one could handle him, I jogged ahead and hugged him with all my might, pushing him back with my body weight. My eyes widened when he pushed me away, but when his eyes fell on me, I caught him jolt before stopping.

Taehyung Hyung quickly gained traction. "We will handle them, but not like this, Jimin-ie." He gripped Jimin's cheeks, speaking in his face.

I didn't like how close he was, their lips inches apart, but I soon realized Taehyung Hyung was trying his best to divert Jimin's attention. And it worked when Jimin blinked and his body swayed. Everyone reached out to help steady him, but he raised his hands. "I am fine."

"You are not fine, Hyung," I told him.

He came in front of my face so fast that I thought I imagined him moving. "You are hurt." He touched my forehead.

My fingers trailed where he touched and all I felt was loss of his warmth when he moved away. "I am okay."

He turned to Taehyung Hyung. "Who is coming with me to the sixth-year dorm?"

Taehyung Hyung let out a loud breath. "That is what I was thinking, but not now. It's late. Let's sleep on it and approach this with a straight head."

"On the contrary, I have never thought straighter than I do right now. I am going with or without you."

When no one disagreed, Jimin moved towards the exit and all of us followed.

"That's what I thought." He snarked. 

My heart was mimicking the bass of a speaker, pounding. We looked around before skirting the wing. I had never seen this side of the uni. It was more secluded than the jungle behind the cafeteria. It seemed like this was a good spot for doing anything, but we found not a single soul wandering outside.

Taehyung Hyung and Christoph walked side by side and Jimin and Wolfgang led them as we entered a corridor.

They walked straight to the last dorm, as though they knew who lived there. I heard them knock.
