"Jimin...how could you murder your own friend?" Minseo asked in disbelief after a few silent minutes that were necessary for her and Seokjin to process everything.

"I'm- I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't mean to I-" the poor boy sighed in defeat. Face etched with remorse and shame. He did this to his friend. He's a murderer.

"Why...why would you kill me? what did i do?" Seokjin gulped, still not believing his ears. Have you ever been hit by the impact of a bomb? Or felt the blast of a bullet? multiply that by ten thousand, that's how Seokjin felt. Seokjin ears went red and his eyes were wide, he didn't know if he was more surprised than angry or the other way around.

"Jimin why did you kill him?" Minseo asked for Seokjin.

"Can we...talk in there?" Jimin asked.

"Sure, come on Jimin," Namjoon slighty pushed him with his hand placed on the small of his back, a gentle comfort, a surge of support for Jimin.

"I...I don't know how to start this," Jimin shakily said.

"From the very beginning perhaps."

"Okay well...you know how Seokjin had a girlfriend named Yeesoo? And they broke up because she had to leave for university in the states?"

"Yeah....?"

"Well that wasn't really the case."

*****

"Jimin oppa, its nothing-" Yeesoo tried to calm him down but to no avail.

"What do you mean its nothing?! you have bruises all over you!"  Jimin expressed his concern towards her skin. Seeing her skin painted black and blue plus the hickeys on her skin made him very worried over his precious yeesoo.

"They will heal in time."

"Did Seokjin do this to you? Did he rape you?"

"Jimin please, you can't tell anyone!" she pleaded desperately with fear in her eyes.

"How could he?! He doesn't deserve to live!"

*****

"I did NOT rape Yeesoo!" Seokjin screamed furiously.

"Jimin, are you claiming that Seokjin raped her?"

Jimin looked down at his intertwined fingers that were profusely rubbing eachother, trying to calm down his hammering heartbeats.

"Seokjin didn't rape Yeesoo. I was wrong. I thought he did. I thought he did harm to such a fragile girl. I loved yeesoo, but she didn't reciprocate my feelings ," Jimin guiltily said. "After I murdered seokjin, I called her to tell her that it was safe for her already."

"Yeesoo, he's gone now. he can't hurt you anymore,"  Jimin said right after climbing down from the tree and brushing off his hands.

A few brushes of skin won't wash away your sin, dear.

"What are you talking about?"

"I...I killed him," Jimin said, still sobbing and guilty towards what he just did.

"Park Jimin! what did you do?"
