Youth of Lily (English Version)

FIFTEENTH RUN

Deeper, deeper, the wound just gets deeper

Like pieces of broken glass that I can't reverse

Deeper, it's just the heart that hurts every day

(You)who was punished in my stead,

You who were only delicate and fragile

Have you ever felt like things that happened were too horrible to be true? You were caught inside the hell, being punished for the sin you'd done. So bad until you could only wish if that was a dream, someone please came and woke you up.

Jimin was trembling hard when he saw the message that was sent to his phone. It wasn't for the first time he received the message since the short getaway. His nightmares were back. Even being here didn't help. He could never run away from them. They could always find him out.

"Jimin a!" a loud voice was heard from his behind. It startled Jimin. His body was trembling as he turned around.

"Park Jimin, I've been calling you for several times already. Don't you hear that?"

It was Taehyung. It is Kim Taehyung. Jimin knew it but he couldn't stop himself from being in fear. His mind was now clouded. He couldn't think straight. He should find a place to hide again. He was unsafe in everywhere. There was no place to hide.

Taehyung once again flustered at the boy's act. He thought what the heck actually happened on Jimin? It turned out some days weren't enough for him to get settle back. Instead of being normal again, Jimin was driven away further from the crew. He went back to his dark cave. He never showed up at Namjoon's place. Even though Jimin didn't do much there before, he would always come there. Just for sitting silently around or watching the crew doing their things. But he never came anymore. Taehyung didn't like this change but he couldn't do anything about it. His guilty feeling held him from forcing Jimin again. He was afraid that if he forced his opinion on the boy, he would hurt him more. Taehyung felt it was enough for him to hurt anyone. He didn't want anyone got hurt from him.

All he could do was watching everyone falling out one by one.

Once again it was his fault.

One by one started missing out from the group gathering.

It was like when we were child before. Playing at the playground nearby. Once the sun set down, mothers started calling their child home. One by one of us were going back to our house. Playtime was over and then it was leaving one person alone in that big playground.

Everyone was busy having his own things to do. It was started from Jimin, Jin, and then Hoseok. Even Taehyung's stubbornness couldn't do anything to gather everyone back. This situation somehow made Jungkook felt gloomy.

Jungkook didn't worried about Jin or Jimin's disappearance. They probably were busy or needed time alone. But he worried about Hoseok's. One day after the short getaway, Hoseok stopped coming over the Namjoon's place. Taehyung asked him when they met at school. Hoseok said he was pretty busy lately, had not time to drop by. It was a usual of him but Taehyung said the older boy looked a little bit perplexed.

Jungkook remembered what Hoseok revealed on the group sharing on the beach.

Once, he asked about the family's situation to Howon, the boy answered that nothing happened while smiled bitterly. He hid something. Jungkook sensed it but he knew that he couldn't force the boy to talk about it. They were not that close to each other to be able talk about things happened around. If it were Jungkook, he would also do the same.
