The Bulletproof Friendship (Book 1) || #LOVEYOURSELFAWARDS

Chapter 13 - Lost My Mind

"And then what happened?" Jimin asked Yoongi handing the towel over to him. "I was all dressed up then I slipped and fell back into the lake." He explained. "Just because you were near mud?" Namjoon asks just to make things clear. "Of course! I slipped." He clarified wiping his face with a towel. "Were you running?" Seokjin asks. "Well, kinda. And then after, I slipped and fell into the lake." He repeats. "Come on guys, Let's go. We're supposed to be at the hiking site in 2 hours." Hoseok said leading the group on the trail back to the shacks. The lake site wasn't that far from where they were staying.

All of the students who were part of the side of Chulmin gathered up at the center. They all surrounded Chulmin. "Okay so we will be hiking. This will be tiring since we will be going to this place and meeting the others." Everybody cheered. "So let's start our hike! Follow my lead!" Chulmin lead everyone to the site.

They were hiking now. Trees were surrounded around them. The boys were walking close together. "Are there any bunnies here?" Jungkook asks. "What where? I wanna see a bunny!" Taehyung exclaimed searching for a bunny rabbit. "There are no bunnies here." Yoongi said. "But I want to pet one." Taehyung pouts. "Should we hangout this weekend?" Hoseok suggested. "Yeah sure." Most of them said. "But I'm hanging out with Mingyu." Jungkook said. "Well, we could-" Namjoon was about to say but was interrupted by Jungkook. "But he will probably hang out with Wonwoo and his other friends so, I can come." Jungkook smiles and so does the others.

While walking, Hoseok has been noticing something about Jimin. He was being all quiet. He would usually talk to Jungkook a lot before but now after he is finally his old self again, Jimin is being quiet. He's worried about him that there is a problem that's going on. He wonders what it was.

Meanwhile Jimin, he's been thinking about stuff. He knows that Jungkook has lost his memory on second year and he became a total jerk but now he is fine but about himself, there is something that he couldn't quite figure out. His dad said that his mom died in a car accident but it doesn't seem to be an accident of that kind. Now that he thinks of it, He doesn't really remember anything that much when he was a child. What if the same thing happened to him just like Jungkook but, something else. A different kind of incident.

"Jimin-ah! Stop being quiet! Let's talk about something." Jungkook nudge Jimin on the shoulder wanting to talk to his favorite hyung. "Ah sure." Jimin decided to get off the thought about his mom and talk to Jungkook. "So, did you actually delete the photo?" Jungkook asks. Jimin raised his eyebrow not remembering what photo he was talking about. "Huh? What photo?" He asks. "The photo you deleted while we were in the bus." He replied. Jimin suddenly remembered. The photo of them at Starbucks. "Oh, actually, while you weren't looking, I got the photo back from the deleted ones since you know, I might forget." He explains. "Huh? Why would you forget? You have a healthy mind hyung! I know that." He replies back. "Yeah but what if I don't? What if I've forgotten something that is really important that I shouldn't forget." Jimin asks Jungkook seeming to be confused. "Hyung, you are not like me but I know that you will remember it." He answered his question.

"Yeah but what if I am like you?" He finally spits out. Jungkook was bewildered to hear this from Jimin. "What, do you mean by, like me?" He asks. Jimin sighed. He still has the feeling that he shouldn't trust him but, he knows that he should trust him and that he should tell him since he is his friend. His only dongsaeng. "Okay I'll tell you. We were at the lake and, when I walked into the water, I've remembered something or, it was something I made up. But, I heard my younger self scream, 'Mom!' I disregarded that and I thought that I would just immediately forget about it. I can't though. It's been stuck in my head for several minutes now and I've had the suspicion that, my dad has been lying to me." Jungkook raised an eyebrow. "Lying about what?" Jimin was holding back tears just thinking about it. "Lying about my mom. Lying that she died in a car accident while I was still young. When I looked at the water, it feels like, she died because of the water. It felt like, I was there at the time of her death. What if I'm losing my mind? What if I'm being crazy and making all of this up." Jimin was now puzzling himself. He doesn't know what to think anymore. It's all about his mom now. He was thinking, what if he is losing his mind? What if he is making it up. One thing that he remembers, he hopes, is that he loved his mom very much. Jungkook patted Jimin's back comforting him. "Hyung, you are not losing your mind. Once we get back home, ask your dad about it. Just ask me and the others if you need any advices." Jimin smiled at him. "Thanks Jungkook. I'm glad to have a friend like you." Jungkook grinned at him, happy to be of help.
