it all started with a crime || Jikook ✔️

Trapped

-Jimin's POV-

I was mad. I cried and cried until there were no more tears left. Yes I lived alone. My parents aren't here, and I'm lonely. Well, I guess I made one friend, Tae. But still, I'm alone and I have to accept it. But it's at least better than having to be locked up in jail, with barely any proper food and clothes.

I suddenly felt hungry. I haven't been eating for three days straight, and it's starting to affect my mental and physical health. No one knows I haven't eaten yet. Every time Jungkook or Tae would bring me food inside my cell, I would wait for them to leave, throw my food away out the little window, and stay hungry.

The only reason I was doing this, is because I didn't feel like eating. I wanted to end my life right there. I was pressuring myself into starvation, and I knew this wasn't good for me, so I kept going.

I heard my stomach grumble for the 3rd time today. It's currently 5:42 PM, almost night time. The only thing entering my stomach was water. I didn't even want to drink water, but stupid Jungkook stayed beside me until I finished the cup he gave me. I don't know if he knows I ate or not, but I didn't care. I was too outraged to think about my own health or emotions.

I suddenly heard the door open, revealing my only trusted friend.
"Hey Tae." I slightly smiled at him. Yes I was having a bad day, but I didn't want him to have one because of me too.

"Jiminieeeee!!" He ran to me and hugged me tightly. "What're you doing here?" I tiredly asked him. He probably noticed my tiredness, because the next thing he said bought me to my surprise.

"You haven't been eating have you?" I paused for a second. "No...But...how did you know?"

"Best friend instincts?" He shrugged. We both giggled, and I hugged him. "Thank you Tae".
"For what?"
"For taking care of me. And reading me whenever I didn't feel like letting out my emotions."
He hugged back. "Of course Jiminie. You deserve it. You're not even supposed to be here."

I frowned and pulled back from our hug. "What..?"
"What?"
"No I mean, what did you say?"
"I said you're not supposed to be here."
"H-how..what?"
"Oh..wait- I DIDN'T TELL YOU?!"
I shook my head no.
"Well. I know who did it. It wasn't you. I believe you Jiminie. I believed you the second you told the cops you didn't do it....I was there."

I was astonished. How could I not recognize him..? I felt so dumb. He was the guy who helped me pack my stuff when I was assigned for behind bars.

"Oh my god...I-I didn't notice..."
"It's alright minnie, it isn't your fault. I know you're mad, and I know you're innocent. I tried to convince the cops and tell them it wasn't you, and that I saw the real murderer. And that you were a victim like all those other people. But obviously they needed proof."

I nodded my head, understanding what he was saying. I was still in shock. A knock on the door slapped me back to my senses.

"Mr. Kim? Ah, I finally found you. Listen, our boss needs you right now." Tae looked confused. "Why does he need me?"
Jungkook eyed Taehyung sternly. "For...Something."

Tae looked at me and got up to leave. As soon as he left, Jungkook looked at the ground. He came closer. "Don't come closer." I said.

He paused his tracks. "I'm sorry Jiminie.  I really want to get you out of here."

I got even more mad and snapped again. As usual. "IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET ME OUT THEN LOOK FOR PROOF THAT PROVE MY INNOCENCE."

He signed. He came closer, and I stood up and stepped back. "S-stop coming closer." He didn't listen. He wouldn't stop coming closer. I started to back away, with him coming closer. "I-I said STOP!" He still wouldn't listen. I suddenly felt my back colliding with the cold wall.

I had no escape. I was trapped. He lifted his arms, and put both of them on my sides, trapping me. He intensely looked at my eyes, then at my lips. I was still in shock that I couldn't move. My legs were frozen. I had no control over them.

His face came closer until our noses touched, and our faces were only inches apart. My heart was beating incredibly fast that I thought it would pop out of my chest. The cell fell in silence, only our heartbeats could be heard.

He kept looking at my eyes, then my lips. His gaze fell on my lips as he came closer, if it was even possible. Our lips were about to touch, when suddenly the door opened.

We both quickly backed away, my heart still beating uncontrollably fast, with me, still in shock of what happened. My head was trying to process everything that just occured.

As Jungkook turned to see who it was, he froze. He didn't even blink for a second. He turned as white as a paper.

The guy that was at the door shut the door so hard, that I thought it would break and fall down. He had a hateful gaze towards Jungkook. I looked back and forth between Jungkook and the guy. He looked like he was in his 50s.

Jungkook gulped and his fists curled into a ball. He looked scared. Just what relationship did Jungkook have with that guy.
