Th-then can you tell ...", Taehyung said

" Hmm ", Jungkook nodded and started.

"I was transfer student of Seoul high school . Since it was one of the best school in SK , I got admission in it due to my scholarship as I was a good student. You know I was so happy to get admission in my dream school. My lower middle class family could not afford fees of Seoul high school but my scholarship solved this problem. I thought that my life would change and it literally changed unexpectedly ", Jungkook chuckled bitterely

Taehyung sensed that something really bad happened to Jungkook.

" I was just fifteen years, an immatured kid who trust people blindly and didn't know to take stand for himself. In school I came to know about the famous trio of Kim Jung su , Choi Do Yun and Min Yuna . Unfortunately they were my classmates . Jung su was topper but after I came he started to be second topper while I took his position. He was rich enough as school was owned by his father but for me I have to be a topper so I can continue my studies on scholarship. I had great dreams for my future which never came ", Jungkook scoffed at last line

" The trio threaten me not to come first but I let it go. Gradually their threatening changed into bullying ! Because they were rich no one bother to stop them instead they laughed at me when they use to insult me. I did not tell my parents as life was already hard on them I didn't want to worry them. But the daily bullying and insult killed me every day . But I beared it , finally I was in my last year of school. I thought just one more year and then I'll be out of this hell. I was suffering from depression but tried my best to smile in front of my parents. Only one month left for finals when our school decided to take us on a small trip to circus show ! At that time everyone was crazy about circus shows ... I was excited too as I have never went to see one . And I don't have to bother about money for tickets as our school was paying. I was happy about something after months but - ", Jungkook paused and looked at Taehyung with painful eyes " who would have known that my excitement would turn into harrowing experience! "

Taehyung felt his heart clenching , his tears were continuously falling uncontrollably. He was feeling every pain of Jungkook.

FLASHBACK...( According to Jungkook's point of view)

" Jungkook can you help me in keeping this juice carton for students in changing room backstage", a teacher asked

" Sure teacher", Jungkook said and politely took the carton marching towards the changing room unknown about the fact that someone was watching him with a smirk

Jungkook kept the carton full of juice and sighted , he was about to go when a hand pushed him making him fall on the floor .

" What are you doing Yuna ? ", Jungkook said

" Showing you your place...right at our feet ", Yuna taunted

" Oh common don't tease this fragile male", Do Yun said in pitiful voice

" See let's not fight here atleast", Jungkook said

" Oh now you'll tell us what to do huh? " Yuna scorned

" Don't argue just let him be here till the show ends ", Do Yun suggested

" No please I want to see it please", Jungkook pleaded

" Oh baby wants to see circus", Yuna said cooing in sarcastic way and again pushed Jungkook in floor .

Both of them immediately ran out and closed the door when Jungkook was banging it " please let me out ! Please open the door ", but it's not like they were going to do it.

Yuna and Do Yun gave a high five laughing

" Let's tell this to Jung su, he'll surely be impressed by me ", Yuna said

" Sure , I guess he would be so happy that he'll make you his girlfriend", Do Yun said

" Please open the door PLEASE!!! ", Jungkook cried and shouted

Show started and because of loud sound no one would possibly listen to Jungkook.

Jungkook excepted his defeat and sat down . He knew once the show will be over performers will come in changing room . Jungkook kept his head on his knees and cried " why ? They do this to me why ? "

Suddenly Jungkook listened someone talking just out of the changing room . A smile beamed to his face , he thought he can be out . He leaned to door and was about to knock when he heard them saying

" Yes just sprinkle this here and set a small fire. Everyone one would freak out and run out that's when we'll take all the money from ticket counter and run . "

" Are you sure fire won't be big? "

" No , and common even it became big who cares all we need is money "

" Right then I'll do it "

Jungkook felt like oxygen drained from his body . He just heard two thieves planning to steal money and distract everyone by fire . He felt like they both went away . He started to bang the door as hard and loud he can . He has to get out right now and ask for help to stop the Thieves. Damn! But no one was hearing his shoutings!

Soon Jungkook heard crowd of people screaming. It seems like everyone was running. Means they have set fire already.

Fire was supposed to be just very small at backstage to lure people away but it took a big turn as the huge curtains came in contact with it . Whole backstage was on fire . Jungkook felt suffocation in the smoke . He choked on the smoke and wasn't able to utter a word . He banged the door breathing heavily as fire was approaching the changing room. Everyone was out but him. Soon the fire embraced him giving him most painful sensation he can ever have . He was screaming and crying out of pain but does anyone care to search for him . He was almost non existing to everyone. People didn't bother to look for him . Even those bullies who locked him was unbothered . Soon the screams were replaced by silence , an immense silence . Heart beat stopped ! ! ! All silent!

FLASHBACK ENDS....
