Jimin is a human. A gentle one for the most part. He loves his friends and he loves his job. When he had been only 12 years old he had started to train for it together with his best friend Taehyung, who is basically his platonic soulmate, and their other friends Seokjin and Namjoon.

They had all become very close friends in the time they were training and maybe even close like a family that at some point also started to include their friends Hoseok, Jungkook and Yoongi, who they met about 3 years ago at college.

So now at the age of 22 he is a fully operating Associate Special Class Investigator together with his same ranked friends and his normal human friends.

He is very happy with how things are going in his life, minus the probably unrequited crush he has on Yoongi but nonetheless he is content with what he has and proud of his own achievements he has already made at his young age just like his very talented friends.

Still he hopes that at one point without endangering Yoongi because of his job, they could date and could become a couple. But even just being friends with a CCG investigator could make you become a target for ghouls and Jimin just couldn't do that to Yoongi so carelessly.

A heavy sigh escapes his mouth as Jimin walks through the streets of Seoul his quinque in his right hand, hidden away in a bag shaped form, so no one will notice it.

It is a normal and slightly cold fall night, a slight breeze ruffling through his pink coloured hair as he makes his way through Seoul in search for a ghoul or clues to open cases. Jimin knows that he walks close to Yoongi's and Jungkook's apartment complex but he just can't help himself.

The investigator just needs to make sure that they are safe no matter what. It is normally pretty eventless walking through this part of Hongdae, as it is not really known for the appearances of ghouls. It eases his mind normally but it doesn't make him less scared for their lives.

So being as alert as he is, Jimin notices a small noise of someone walking further to the north and closer to known hunting grounds. Without making a noise himself Jimin starts following the stranger at a safe distance. At some point he loses them out of sight but just after 10 minutes he can hear a muffled scream from his left.

With long strides he makes his way to that spot and looks around the corner to see a person being held down by a ghoul whose kagune, a rinkaku with an intricate shape and colour, slices into the flesh of the victim. He can see the organs being ripped apart by another tentacle of the kagune which get grabbed by bony looking pale fingers just to find their way into the mouth of the ghoul that is uncovered unlike the rest of his face.

Without giving it any more thought he runs towards the scene, his quinque finally freed, and lety it crash down on the spot the ghoul hat just cowered at.

Jimin immediately recognized the ghoul's appearance from descriptions he had heard of it.

Black Cat. An S-class ghoul that had been on the low for a few weeks but was very well known by the CCG since the war against the Seoul Ghoul Alliance that was a partner of the Japanese Aogiri Tree.

He was known to be a strong fighter, very agile, quite fast despite his kagune type, also known for his Kakuja that covered a part of his arm like an armor. A cannibal. Feared by both humans and ghouls.

Jimin can see his ruby red irises and the black of his eye balls. Despite the investigators attacks towards the ghoul he can see that the other never did anything but defend himself which is pretty odd and unknown of. Just minor slaps by his kagune to the investigators legs so the ghoul can get closer to his meal again. After 10 minutes of the ghoul playing this game with the CCG investigator Jimin has finally enough of it.

"Are you scared? Can't you fight like a real man? Is this all you got?" He says mockingly.

The only reaction he gets is an all too familiar yell of frustration which makes him stop attacking voluntarily, which also gives the ghoul the opportunity to put parts of the human body into his pockets and his mouth.

....Those lips. Jimin could have sworn he know them from somewhere but can't really put a finger on it.

While he is still deeply in thoughts the ghoul takes his opportunity and runs away, becomes even faster with the help of his kagune. Jimin doesn't even have a chance to keep up with him and stabs the asphalt with his quinque in frustration.

In all his years of being a part of the CCG no ghoul had ever been able to escape him. And yet Black Cat has left him behind as if it was nothing.

Jimin had never felt so angry in his life as he feels in that moment with the knowledge that Black Cat is still out there, running towards the quiet part of Hongdae, probably into an apartment close to Yoongi's and Jungkook's.

He would find him. He would kill him.

He would do anything to keep his friends safe.
