chapter 2 (savior)

Jimin woke up with a terrible headache... trying to open his aching eyes ,
The moment he opened them ,he saw someone standing right above him ,
a pair of big curious eyes looking right into Jimin's.

The small boy clearly gasped , noticing the tall man...,trying to move, but the moment he did move, he felt like his entire body was falling apart , a horrible pain he felt in his right arm , his eyes filled with tears .!
Jimin looked up at the stranger's face..

"Don't kill me, please," said with a gentle voice .

"Well, I didn't plan to . Actually, I did quite the opposite. I saved you, " the stranger said while he
took the wet cloth off Jimin's forehead .
Jimin took a moment, reviewing over the things that had happened ... The last thing he remembered was that frightening animal trying to rip him apart ,and then there was nothing .. he probably had passed out because of that terrifying scene .
Wait ..
Did that mean that this stranger had saved his life ?
Who was he ?
How did he even know that Jimin was there in that cave?
Could he trust him ?
He might be one of his father's man trying to get Jimin back to his father , or even worse ...to kill him
...Wait...
but if he was planning to kill Jimin, why would he even bother to save him from the animal in the first place ?

"What is this awful pain in my arm ? " he said with the most vulnerable tone .

" The wolf bit you . I killed it as soon as I got to the cave, but I was a little late .you are fine, though .it's not that deep .you are gonna be fine. "

"You ...you killed it ?"he said ,his eyes big ,full of pain ,fear, and curiosity.

"Well ,he was tending to tear us apart, so ... yeah ...!
I had to, actually. "

"I should probably go," Jimin said ..not wanting to be here .
His father's men could find him . He shouldn't be seen by anyone .. he couldn't trust a random stranger even though he had saved his life..

" Hey, hey, hey, . Easy .. you shouldn't move . You may bleed again. "

" I shouldn't be here. I mean ... thank you for saving my life, but I have to go now. "
Jimin tried to move again but failed helpelessly. He must have lost so much blood already .
The stranger looked at him intently..

" You don't need to thank me.. I couldn't just leave you for that animal to rip you apart.. What were you doing there anyway, for God's sake .?you don't seem that old .are you even allowed to be out of home that late in the night ? "

" I... I'm... well ...." Jimin stuttered , Not wanting to talk ... He didn't feel good... He just wanted to close his eyes and sleep for the rest of his life ,only waking up when everything was okay again, and he could see his dear Taehyungie once more... .

"You don't have to answer all of that if you don't feel like it . I'm just trying to help. Trust me .. my name is Jungkook, by the way .I'm here in case you need anything. "
The stranger that Jimin found out his name was Jungkook gave him a gentle smile .
A low and soft "thank you" fell from Jimin's lips .
He closed his eyes ..thankful that Jungkook didn't insist on knowing more about him .

"What's your name ? " asked in a curious tone .

" Hah?" He opened his eyes again ..
" Your name .. what should I call you ?"

" Oh ... my name is Ji.... Jihoo." Said softly . Feeling guilty for not telling his savior his real name , but he couldn't just trust him , could he .? His father's men were everywhere.. they could easily find him with somebody, knowing his name and identity .
No!
Jimin couldn't risk it all... He was going through shit right now ... he didn't want that to be for absolutely nothing ..!
