Jungkook walked down the dark street alone. It was very late at night and he should be home alseep. Instead, he was in the neighborhood that his mother told him to never go near.
"Jungkook, you can't go to anywhere near Shindongshin, especially not in the neighborhood surrounding it. There are thugs and thieves, I don't want you to get involved-but I'm sure you'll do that anyway." She warned him several times before, knowing he wouldn't obey her request.

It was not at all like Jungkook to obey his parents. He felt like he didn't need to most of the time. He had everything figured out already.

Usually, Jungkook would be with a group of friends, but not today. Today he was exceptionally brave as he strolled down dark alleyways. In between large shady apartment buildings, he would tag the sides of with red spray paint. However, his fun had ran out when the spray paint did, so he's one his way back home.

Jungkook put his hood on his head, he had a mask over his mouth and nose already. So, his face was almost completely unrecognizable, he turned the corner.

Jungkook heard the sound of a boy groaning ahead of him.

"Get the fuck up, you fag!" A man yelled and spat on the younger.

Jungkook knew that he should just turn around and run home at this point, but how could he? A kid about a few years older than himself was being beaten half to death by someone older. He kept walking closer and made no sound.

The boy staggered to his feet, to get pushed against the wall, hitting his back. He gasped in pain as tears streamed down is face.

"Someone oughta teach trannies like you a lesson..." The older said before taking a swing at the kid, dazing him. The boy fell to the ground. "You're disgusting, why don't you just live with your faggot friends. What's that kids name?"

"J-Jimin." The boy could barely hold his head up, he was going to lose consciousness.

"Yeah, him." The man punched the boy again causing him to fall to the concrete. The man took him by the hair sitting him up against the wall.

"I don't know why mom would take you in. You should of just stayed with her crackhead sister-"

"Hey, stop it!" Jungkook yelled and balled up his hand into a fist.

The man took his eyes of the boy he was brutally beating and transferred them to Jungkook. He scoffed at him then went back to work, kicking the boy.

"I-I said stop!"

"Look, kid, this doesn't have anything to do with you. So go home." The older didn't even look at Jungkook.

The boy hung his head, face cut and bruised, and his hair was matted to his forehead with blood.

Jungkook threw a punch at the man, hitting him in his jaw. He wanted to distract him from the boy, and that he did.

"What the fuck, kid! I'm warning you, leave!" The man held his face as he yelled at Jungkook. Jungkook didn't go anywhere.

Being up closer in a stand off with the man, Jungkook could see that the man was probably a thug. He had many tattoos and was wearing brass knuckles. Jungkook froze up, scared to pieces.

The man smirked and the next thing Jungkook knew was that his face was on the ground.

Jin woke up to the sound of rocks hitting his dorm room window. "Yah, this kid." He sighed getting up from his bed knowing exactly who was disturbing his slumber.
