awake [seokjin]

eleven ; let's go to mei's house.

"I should try staying away from her, maybe that'll help."

"It's just so bizarre that her hand got cut. Was she holding the knife by the sharp part or the handle?" I frustratingly ruffled my hair, wondering what in the world happened.

"Calm down, Seokjin. I don't think you're the reason why." Ken said, then pointed towards the bed. "But, someone just woke up."

I turned my head towards the bed and quickly stood up. "Mei? Are you okay?" I asked with worry full in my voice.

"Jin?" She mumbled, her eyes slowly opening. I held her hand, and she tightened the grip. "That was really scary." She whimpered.

"You're okay now," I said, trying to comfort her. "Just get some rest, okay?"

She nodded her head as she slowly fell asleep.

I looked at Ken, still holding onto her hand. "I need to figure out why this is happening to her," I said. "You need to help me out too."

"Why me?"

"You're involved too right? I need to find the guy that ran her over. I think I remember the car was a dark blue car, it was rusty and looked run down. Can you help me find it?"

He fixed his baseball cap, and sighed with frustration whilst nodding. "Alright, I'll help out." He said. "I'll see you later."

He turned around and walked out the door, leaving me with Mei. "What a life you have." I sighed.

The next evening, Mei was perfectly fine again. "Lets go to my house, I have to let my mom know I'm okay, since its been two days." Mei said, grabbing her backpack.

I nodded. "Okay," I agreed.

"But," she said, turning around to face me. "I want you to stay in the car when we get there."

"Why-",
"Don't ask me why, Seokjin. Just stay in the car, please?"

"I mean, I guess. Sure." I said, nodding even though my heart tells me something else. I actually really want to meet her dad. He seems, important somehow.

When we got to her house, she stared me down until she reached the gate of her house. I pursed my lips and waved, telling her that I wont get out of the car no matter what.

She gave me a thumbs up and quickly walked inside her house. I looked at the moon that was slowly coming out to replace the sun when I noticed something black from the corner of my eye.

I looked to my right as I sat up in my seat. There was a man behind the bushes, dressed in black. There was something familiar I felt, like I've met him somewhere before.

He crept out of the bushes and held something in his hand whilst slowly walking to Mei's house.

He looked around, cautiously before opening the gate. This neighborhood was junky and barely had people living here. It was not a safe place to live in. Who the hell is this guy?

He held up whatever was in his hands and there it was-a fucking gun. My seat belt slot open and I ran out of the car, jumping on him before he could enter their house.

"SHIT!" the man yelled. "Who the fuck are you!?"

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I questioned, pinning him down on the ground. He had his hands up, dropping his gun onto the ground next to him.

"They owe me a debt you son of a bitch. Now why not get off me so I could finish my business?" He exclaimed.

"Nobody owes you a debt you shit. They're a poor family that you shouldn't disturb." I countered, putting more weight on my knee that was on his shoulders.

"ARE YOU DRUNK!?" I heard a women scream from inside the house. Our heads whirled to the sound and I got off him, running inside the house.

The house was a mess. Furniture all over the place, smoke all over the house. "Mei?" I spit out, looking for her. I ran to the bedroom only to find a man with a beer bottle, ready to strike Mei in the head.

I ran and pushed him to the side, quickly getting off of him and running to her. "Mei? Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" I asked, holding her face in my hands whisk searching her face. She had tears in her eyes, her face already a mess.

"I-I told you to stay in the car," she mumbled m, her voice hoarse. I pulled her in my arms when I hear a women screaming.

"M-Mom!" Mei shouted, standing up. I stood up with her and found her mom in the far corner of the room, getting her hair pulled by her husband.

Rage was full in me and I ran over and pulled him off of her, punching him in the face more than I should've.

He fell to the ground, but got back up, glaring at me. "Who the hell are you!?" He yelled, pointing his beer bottle at me.

"I fucking hate drunk people like you,"

I kicked his stomach, sending him falling on the ground again. I ran over to Mei and her mom and quickly gestured for them to get out of the house, only to forget that that bastard was still outside.

He walked in, a smirk grown wide in his face as he walked towards us when the gun right in out face. "Wow," he laughed in his low voice. "I didn't expect this."

"Taehyung," Mei's mom mumbled. "Why are you doing this?"

"Pay my debt you fucking poor bitch. I can wait any longer."

"Taehyung," I began. "Maybe we can-",

I was pushed out of my feet and fell to the ground. Adrenaline rushed through me and I felt pain on my side. The drunktard stepped on my back before walking over to Taehyung.

"Get-Get the fuck out of my-my house," he said.

"This bastard is drunk as always," Taehyung said. "Give me my fucking money or you all die."

I crawled to the broken lamp on the floor, grabbed it and quickly threw it to Taehyung's back.

He fell to the ground and grunted. The drunktard laughed and all of a sudden grabbed Mei from the collar and threw her aside.

"Bastard," I mumbled before running behind him and choking him with my arm.

Then, I felt something hard hitting the back of my head, feeling the blood rushing down my head. I collapsed to the ground, my eyes kept on Taehyung was threw the broken beer bottle on the ground, smirking at me.

Taehyung leaned down, smacking my cheek, whilst I noticed the drunktard walking towards Mei and her mom.

"Run." I mouthed, trying my best to speak, but nothing would come out. I closed my eyes counting down from five, asking to rewind back in time.

Five,
Four,
Three,
Two ,
One,

The world spun around me and we were back in the car, but Mei was already on her way to the house. I ran after her, grabbing her by the arm. "Don't go in there." I said.
