- JIMIN

As Yoongi and I walked down the stairs, we heard a loud scream echoeing in the night. My heart skipped a beat, feeling jittery out of a sudden. We heard another scream, followed by another and then...

it stopped.

Yoongi and I had no idea what was going on since we were at the staircase surrounded by walls and more stairs. We rushed down the steps, praying hard that we were just hearing things. To our horror, Uncle Dan appeared at the bottom of the staircase, making Yoongi and I jolt out of our skin. I let out a scream—the loudest and highest I ever heard myself scream. I screamed even more seeing him holding onto Namjoon's foot while the rest of his body was on the floor. I was in complete shock.

"Jimin! Run!" Yoongi pulled me by my arm and up the stairs.

We quickly climbed up the stairs like never before. I thought we were running fast enough until I looked behind me. Uncle Dan was running up the stairs too, holding his butcher knife in the air. The gap between us and Uncle Dan was so close, I could hear his heavy breathing. Right at that moment, I knew that tripping would be the death of me. Yoongi and I continued running up the stairs until we reached the highest floor, the floor where the—mortuary was located.

"The other staircase!" Yoongi shouted, pointing to the staircase at the other end of the corridor.

It was quite a distance away and my legs were getting tired. I kept pushing myself but my running became slower and so was Yoongi. Then, just out of a sudden, Yoongi fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"No- Yoongi!" I shouted, stopping at my tracks.

I immediately rushed over to Yoongi in a frantic state, wanting to help him stand back up. That was when I saw a butcher knife sticking on his back. I was in utter shock, my mouth was agape. I held the handle of the knife and tried pulling it out but immediately stopped myself when Yoongi yelled in agonising pain.

"No, no Yoongi why..." I cried out.

I looked behind us and could see Uncle Dan at a distance. He was no longer running but was walking towards us—very causally. However, I still panicked and tried getting Yoongi up on his feet even though I knew he was in so much pain.

"No, no, Jimin don't..." Yoongi uttered, his eyes were glistening.

I shook my head and insisted to bring him up to his feet.

"Jimin, stop- Go now, please..." Yoongi begged.

I looked behind us again to see that Uncle Dan was getting closer but I had no intention to leave Yoongi behind. 

He's the only one I have left...

Yoongi pushed me away, pestering me to go off.

"I'm so sorry, Yoongi..." I muttered in my tears.

He did not say anything but instead coughed out blood in front of me. My eyes were teary as I stood up. I took a last glance at him before dashing off to the nearby staircase. As I ran down the stairs, tears streamed down my eyes uncontrollably. I felt so weak and crippled. As I reached the bottom of the staircase, I ran out of the school building and fell on my knees on a grassy patch outside the school. I sobbed so hard, trying to let out my sorrow. The remorse in me was undeniable.
