A pure Soul

3.

That's it I am going to kill him. I quickly turned around and was about to grab the person by his collar, who dared to touch me when I stopped in my movement.

Pov. Jimin 

My eyes were wide open. Is he going to kill him? Is he a thief or a murderer? I have to do something. Wait, no, I have to do nothing; I just walk home. Maybe if I run now, I can still get home in time! I saw nothing; it's not my concern! Just do what everyone would do in this situation and save yourself! I started to walk faster and looked everywhere except towards the two men.

What I can't see doesn't exist... right?

But what if he is found dead tomorrow? It would be your fault, because you were scared and selfish, a man would be dead! I screamed at myself in my head. Why can't I just be less caring about others? How can everyone but me just look away from all the horrors of this world? I frowned at myself.

I quickly run over the street towards the stranger. "Excuse me, Sir?" no answer, "Sir?" I asked again, Wow! He was deep in his thoughts; no wonder he didn't notice he was being followed. I lightly tipped his shoulder. "Excuse m-" I stopped and jumped a bit back at his sudden movement. He glared at me but didn't say anything. As I recovered my shock, I was completely overwhelmed... What should I say to him so that I don't raise any suspicion by the man behind us? Why didn't I think about it earlier...? I cursed myself for being so unprepared. "Can you tell me the time, please?" Wow, really the time, am I stupid? My opposite didn't look convinced either; his eyes narrowed as he looked at my watch. "I am sorry, sir, but I think you are being followed, and I am pretty sure I saw a big knife, hidden on his left side of the back," I said as quietly as I could and tried to show him his 'stalker', by twitching my pupils, he seems to be way better at being secretive than me, he took a small look around and spoke, "Of course, but only if you could help me, too.", His voice was way darker, than I had imagined, it gave me little goosebumps. I looked at him questioningly. "Can you show me the way to the underground, I am a bit lost." "Of course, sir." I answered knowing what he tried to achieve, with that said I felt a deadly stare hitting my back, before we started walking down the street together and just a minute later, the man had disappeared.

I let out a sigh of relief. "That was very nice of you." He looked at me in expectation, I needed a few seconds before I realized what he was waiting for. "Jimin, Park Jimin. I am just happy we are both safe!" I gave him a little smile before continuing, "But you shouldn't wander around at this hour, especially not in this type of clothing!" "What's wrong with my clothes?" My eyes widened. Did I offend him? "Nothing, I just meant that it shows your wealth, and here are a lot of criminals, who really want that kind of wealth!" I talked as fast as my mouth allowed me to. "This is even mafia territory; who knows, maybe they will kidnap you and ask your family for billions of Won (Korean currency)." The taller chuckled, "Is that so?" "I don't know, I have never met a Mafioso! But they do this type of stuff on TV-, what's so funny?" I interrupted myself when he began to laugh even stronger. "It's nothing; you are just such a pure soul!" the taller replied, still chuckling, which led me to look embarrassed down.

OH, DUCK! I screamed in my head, when I saw my watch, showing 20:00. My father is going to kill me! My whole posture changed, and I looked up again at the stranger, who has noticed my sudden change of mood and looks now worried at my face. "I am really sorry, Sir, but I have to leave you now. Please get home safely and take care of yourself." I bowed lightly and ran past him. "Jimin?" I heard him call after me.
