That night Gdragon and some of the guys buried TOP in a nearby Cemetery, while the rest of us stayed at the mansion.

Jimin and I were standing on the balcony outside of Fauna's room, looking out at the city and where the skyline of the buildings met the stars.

"I'm sorry." I said, breaking the silence.

Jimin turned and looked at me.

"For what?"

"For everything...For running away, and wanting to join the gang so badly. This whole thing with TOP has made me realize how really dangerous gang life is... I mean TOP was part of a rich, powerful gang and he still got killed. Its like... with this life, no one can be safe. All these years Jin has been protecting me."

I felt tears running down my face. "I really am sorry. I could have gotten everyone killed for a thoughtless, stupid wish."

Jimin pulled me into his arms and whispered into my ear. "It's not your fault, You have been in the dark about everything for your whole life. Of course you would want to become a part of it. And no one died, and no one will. I promise. But nothing is your fault."

I backed away and looked at him as he wiped my tears away with his thumb.

"You know what the worst part is though Jimin...?"

"What?"

"I don't want to be in the gang anymore."

He just nodded in response, and pulled me back into his arms and rested his head on mine.

"Trust me Mallorie, I have felt the same way many times."

"...Really?"

"Yep."

"We don't have to go back you know. We could run away...together...and take Fauna with us..."

"But what about your brother? And Fauna likes it here. I don't think she'd want to leave."

"Jin, will be better without me...he won't have to worry so much. He'll only have to take care of himself."

Jimin looked straight into my eyes.

"Are you sure this is what you want?"

"Yes."

"Alright. Then let's go."

"Really?!"

"Yes. But only on one condition."

"What?"

Jimin knelt down on one knee and pulled out a ring from his pocket.

"If we're going to run away together, Be mine forever."

I felt the tears on my face again.

"Okay." Then he slipped the ring on my finger before I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him.

We immediately went into our room and packed up all of our stuff.

After we said our goodbyes we went to the front door and left down the front steps to the front gate.

As we got closer to the gate Jimin pushed me behind him because two guys were standing on the other side. As we got closer it got easier to make out their faces.

I gasped in shock. "Jin?!"
