Mendacity 「Jimin」

Remember Me

②⑨

‾‾‾‾‾‾

Yoel was anxious. He doesn't know what to do next; or maybe...he knows, but he was afraid of it. He followed Jimin secretly after Jimin left his apartment. Slowly watching his weak back in front of him and was genuinely worried of him as an uncle, a family. He arrived at another apartment and went in. From the corner, Yoel peeked at the smile Jimin made with someone behind that door. It was Sora's and Yoongi's place. He knew it, but at the same time he didn't know that his prediction would be right. Jimin has chose Sora over Yoel. When Jimin disappeared through the door, unconsciously, Yoel walked closer to the unit as if he was trying to take Jimin back. But...Yoongi noticed and quickly slammed the door.

Helplessly, Yoel stood in front of the door. On the other side, Yoongi who was too creeped out to see who's following Jimin through the hole, decided to let it go and will be taken care of later.

Yoel was raised in a happy family since he was a child unlike Jimin. How come Jimin and Yoel are the only blood related families in this world? Jimin's parents were an orphan; which makes Jimin's dad's sister an orphan. She married a man who came from the same orphan. That orphanage was created after the huge earthquake that took over the country and took in children survivors. It was a place full of family love that was once abandoned.

 Yoel murdered Jimin's parents, Yoel's parents committed suicide after knowing Yoel killed them. It was a selfish family. Both sons can't help but support each other. After the murder, Yoel went to get plastic surgery before the news came out. He turned himself to another human being and started to travel as a fugitive for himself. The absence of Yoel who was the money maker, made Jimin worked as a 'fake' prostitute to feed himself. After months of investigation, Yoel was spotted as the murder but was released after two years because of lack of evidence.

Yoel was giving time for Jimin to find the people he trusts and make a new family. Today, Yoel realizes something after a long time, Jimin has a powerful ability. Yoel's ability is being able to control the body of the people he is watching. He failed to use that on Jimin, who's ability is a powerful defense that would destroy any abilities coming at him. Yoel chuckled under his breath.

"So, all this time, he's been looking down at me, huh" He mumbled as he climbed up the stairs to the rooftop. He opened the heavy door and stared into the landscape of the urban city. The cold breeze hit him leaving no warm space. There were no stars today, it was just, pitch black covered by the clouds. Yoel sighed and walked further to the edge of the 10-floored apartment building.

"I hope Sora can take care of Jimin"

"I also hope...that at least one star can watch me go" He muttered while gazing at the empty sky. A tear ran down his cold cheek. Is he sad? No. He shed tears for the sake that at least someone is crying for him. He is crying for himself, because no one will cry for this evil man. In truth, Yoel has always wanted to try skydiving, and he will try it now; without, parachute, safety equipment, or goodbye.

In the end, Yoel kept his promise, that he will not kill anyone Jimin cared about. Yet Jimin directly told him, that he doesn't care about Yoel at all, which could say, Jimin wants Yoel dead.

Sora's perspective

Jimin sat with his hands folded near the small bed in an ambulance. He felt nothing but the words he said to him that last time.

"Yoel...I don't care about you" 

He will curl himself every time he thinks of the words he said to Yoel. He realized that he's no different from Yoel. Jimin knew Yoel understands what he's supposed to do when he heard those words. Jimin sighed from time to time; while Yoongi who was as worried as Jimin sat beside me staring at the body of Yoel. The siren sounded loud as far as at least 70m out. Me? I am not worried, I am quite shock myself to see him commit suicide. I looked at the emergency helper or nurses you call it, doing their hardest to bring Yoel's breath back. But, once you jumped from the tenth-floor building, not only you have broken bones, your whole-body breaks. He is dead.
