Caught Up, In Neverland [JM]

[Chapter 18- Stay Young Forever]

[Chapter 18- Stay Young Forever]

---

"Jimin... please, hold me."

He doesn't even hesitate as he stands up from the bed and pulls her close by her arm. He hugs her gently while stroking the back of her head, trying to calm her as she cries into his chest. He misses being able to be actually there for her and comfort her when she needs it. He knew he wasn't supposed to get close to her, but he can't help it. He misses her too much.

Suddenly to bring him out of his thoughts, a crash is heard from downstairs and he can feel Jihyun flinch in fear, the crash sounding oh so familiar to her ears. She can practically picture both her and her little sister holding each other in the corner of her bedroom, shaking or trembling in fright.

"I have to go check on them- make sure they're okay", Jihyun says and she pulls away from Jimin's warm embrace. He shakes his head with worried eyes and he holds onto her shoulders to face him. He can sense something bad about to happen and he knows that his intuitions are usually right.

"Jimin, I'm going to go. I want to make sure they're alright", She sternly says instead of listening to his anxious expression. She pinches his cheek as she wipes a tear off of hers and gives him a reassuring smile.

She had always been scared of going downstairs whenever her parents were in an argument. There's a reason behind this- a reason why she had decided one day to never go down those stairs when they were fighting. She wants to get over this fear, though, and decides to exit her room.

"Are you guys okay", Jihyun yells as she runs down the stairs and she hears another crash coming from the kitchen. In order to get to the kitchen, she must walk through the living room.

So she does, and the sight of the room is a complete disaster. Pieces of broken glass lie on top of the coffee table and other broken objects are scattered across the couch and floor. With a gulp as her anxiety begins to kick in, she hurriedly jogs into the kitchen.

And that's when it hits her- literally.

At first all she heard was a yell, but then everything started to become a dark blur. She stares at her parents in shock as a warm liquid begins to cover her vision on the right side. Her mother's screams echo throughout the room and at first, she doesn't feel anything. She's too much in shock to know what has just possibly happened; she never expected something like this to happen to her.

"JIHYUN", she hears someone scream her name, but she can no longer tell who it was that had yelled it. Her hearing turns muffled and dark colors like black mixed with violet begin to cloud her vision. She can no longer feel anything as tingles spread throughout her body, causing her to grow weak in the knees.

"Mom", is all she croaks out as she feels a pair of arms catch her, the darkness slowly beginning to take over as splotches of purple begin to pulse out of her vision.

Suddenly, Jimin's gentle expression develops onto her sight and he gives her a sweet smile.

"You'll never have to be lonely ever again, Jihyun."

She smiles at those words and relaxes, her form no longer stiff as the image of Jimin begins to caress her cheek gently. Dark violet shadows scrape onto the darker areas of his face while a bright orange causes his aura to come off as bright and happy. The combination of those two colors create a happy yet elegant appearance, the two hues swirling and chasing each other for dominance.

"I promise with all my heart that you'll never be lonely again. I'll make you smile- and happy. Just, take my hand."

She can see his form extend his hand towards her, his expression calm and inviting. She hesitates and slowly shakes her head towards Jimin, fear bubbling in her gut.

"Jihyun, don't you trust me?"

With those words in mind, she takes his hand and his expression grows grim for a second. She watches as his face flickers to happiness once again and he pulls her close, lulling her to a deep sleep in his arms.

"Let's stay young forever and ever... together, Jihyun..."
