Jimin's POV:

"Hyung....AHHHHH"

I reach out my hand but within seconds she's gone from sight. Sweat forms on my forehead as I desperately try to grip the vent and pull myself up but I can't even come close to touching it.

"FÜCK!" I scream, all the possibilities that could happen to them running through my brain nonstop.

People I love are in there.

My entire life is in there!

And I can't even do anything to help them.

My eyes scan the hallway for absolutely anything that can help me reach the vent but all I can see his emptiness. There's been many times in my life where I've wished to be taller but now definitely takes the cake.

Suddenly the sound of glass shattering makes its way around me and I wonder if it was coming from in there or from inside of me.

How could I have let this happen? Why couldn't I have stopped this? Why am I the one out here and not one of them? Surely they all deserve safety more than I do.

"Please open!" I cry out in desperation, yanking on the door handle causing the blinds to fall.

My breathing increases as I try to catch tiny glimpses of what's going on in there through the shade drawn window. The only thing I can focus on is the gun which only panics me more.

"JIMIN!"

I wip my head around to say Taehyung sprinting down the hallway.

"The police are almost here!" He shouts. I could care less whether the police are here or not because frankly they're too late to do their job.

Sure it's selfish to not care that the rest of the school is safe, but I just want my friends back.

"Tae," I gasp for air, pulling him into a hug. At least I'm not alone, but what does that even matter in this situation.

"I broke the windows to escape. I couldn't help because I kid was too scared to leave and ended up being stuck in there with us. I couldn't just let him see something like that, I had to save him," He explains rapidly. I can tell he feels guilty about not saving the rest of them.

"It's okay," I reassure him, "but you need to boost me into that air vent,"

His face twists into sadness, "I can't do that,"

"Why not?!"

"Because I'm not putting you into danger when you're okay. Namjoon and Hoseok are also out, but they are waiting for the police. Everything will be okay if we just wait for the police," He practically begs me to stay with him but I just can't.

"Tae, I'll be fine. What isn't fine is the fact that RaeJae, Jungkook, Jin Hyung, and Yoongi Hyung are at the hands of a psychopath," I point to the door, "So please. Trust me,"

He slowly nods my head, allowing me to step onto his hand to boost me. Immediately I'm stunned at the sight of blood on the remaining pieces of the air vent cap. If they're not from time they have to be from RaeJae.

I quickly pull myself over and jump down, landing in a crouched position, "AISH!"

My eyes meet Rae's panicked ones, a gun held out in her hands. I watch blood drip onto the tile floor and I can almost swear that that's all I can hear. That's until the sound of metal swooshes from behind me.

I watch Rae's eyes widen before my ears start ringing with the sound of a gun shot. A thump from behind caused me to turn around, blood pooling along the clothes of the victim. Hobeom.

I turn back to Rae who's now collapsed in a heap of her own sobs, the gun at her feet.

"Rae..." I breath out, realizing I may have just made the biggest mistake of my life. Please let me take it back, just let me take this one mistake back.

But I can't.

Yoongi crawls over to try and comfort her but I know the gravity of the situation. She protected me... She may have just risked her sanity for me... all because I wanted to save them.

But it was for self defense. Surely she'll be okay if she knows it was for self defense? Aish, who am I kidding. No average person wants to have to kill someone because of this.

"Yoongi Hyung, her hand," I say, trying to come to terms in order to actually help.

She stares down at her own blood staining her clothes and skin. The look of shock drowning her features before her sobs completely stop and she turns pale as snow.

"RAE!" Yoongi shouts, ripping some of his shirt to tie around the wound.

I quickly look to my right, checking to make sure Jungkook and Jin are okay. Luckily they seem pretty lucky, only a few cuts and bruises here and there but in the least they're alive.

"Did you really have to do that?! We had everything under control!" Yoongi looks at me with blazing eyes.

"Hyung, I was just trying to help," I whimper.

"BUT YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!" He bellows, "do you even know what you've just done? She'll probably never be the same!"

"OF COURSE I KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE!" I cry, tears now pooling along my water line.

"WELL FIX IT!" He shouts back.

"I CAN'T"

"EXACTLY!"

I furrow my eyebrows angrily at him. Now he's just scolding me for the sole purpose of making me feel like shït. I don't need my idiocy to be pointed out to me when I already feel a lump of guilt taking over my body.

"WHY WAS SHE THE ONE TO CARRY GET THE GUN?!" I yell angrily, "WHY COULDN'T ONE OF YOU HAD IT INSTEAD? IT WAS SIX ON ONE BEFORE SHE GOT IN HERE!"

"Everyone shut up!" Jin exclaims, pulling himself up to stand, "Like you said, nothing can be changed anymore so forget it. Let's just get Rae out of here,"

Yoongi huffs, lift Rae off the ground and waiting for Jin to help open the door. I wipe my tears away, crawling over to Jungkook who seems to be in a lot of pain.

"Kookie, what hurts?" I ask comfortingly, trying my best to put all of what I've done wrong behind me to actually help.

"My head," He breaths out shakily, "and my leg,"

I look down to his thigh to see blood soaking his blue jeans.

"What happened here?" I gasp, taking off my own shirt to try and stop the bleeding.

"He cut me," He looks at me through have opened eyes. I now notice that blood is also on the ground around his leg.

"Jungkook!" Taehyung falls beside us and I give him a look of worry, "let's get him up,"

Jungkook slinks his hands around Tae and I's shoulders as we help him out fo the classroom. Luckily some paramedics are already waiting for us in the hallway and take over getting Jungkook and RaeJae Help.

I watch through blurry vision as Jin and Yoongi rush out with the doctors at their sides. Turning to Taehyung I breath out, "you don't hate me, right?"

He immediately gives me the best toothless smile he can muster "Jimin, I could never hate you. Everything is gonna be okay,"
