"Ah shit. Where the fuck could they be?" Jimin groaned running a hand through his silky locks.
"Are you sure you saw them run in here, Jungkook?" Namjoon asked as everyone followed him and took a seat on the bench. 
"C'mon, don't trust me now?" Jungkook tsked looking up at the bright sun and light breeze.
"Guys get up. Come one. We gotta find them. Before anything happens to her." Hoseok says standing up.
"Why? It's not even our problem. We never did this for her before so why now?" Jin asked not moving and glaring towards him, clearly tired.
"Because it's clear he likes her." Yoongi says his voice low and serious.
"He likes her but doesn't know how to express it."
"Bullshit. Taehyung doesn't know affection for shit." Jimin growls getting up and walking. 

Jimin froze feeling something lumpy under his shoes. He stepped back and looked down at the object he'd stepped on. He slowly bent down picking it up carefully and reading it. His eyebrows knitted together reading the name on the tag.
"What's that?" Jungkook asked as everyone surrounded him. He stood up looking straight pass the boys surrounding him, towards the tiny back exit.
"Sohye," He muttered before breaking off into a sprint.

The group made it to the deserted back land of the amusement park and immediately Jimins eyes latched onto the dangerous situation. He lunged forward not saying a word as he roughly tackled Taehyung to the floor, the lighter slipping out of his hand in the process. 
I squealed startled by Jimins sudden attack and the flame grazing my skin slightly as it bounced onto the floor. Ultimately my legs gave up and lost balance as I hit the ground. Hoseok and Jin rushed to my aid as the rest of the boys worked in splitting the two from creating any further injuries.
"Alright?" Hoseok asked as their arms linked around mine, heaving me up gently and helping me regain balance. All I could do was slightly nod, but my physical features said elsewise as my lips were pale and my hands were still trembling. 

Taehyung groaned and grunted in Jungkooks hold, trying to break away from the younger but clearly stronger male.
"The fuck?! Jungkook let me go! NOW!" He yelled like a lunatic and Jimin glared at him as Yoongi held onto him reassuringly. 
"Taehyung seriously that's enough. Everyones hurt." Namjoon says, holding onto Taehyungs shoulders to bring some conscience into him.
"Why the fuck are you guys in this? She's mine. Get out of here. This has nothing to do with you. Especially you." He growled his eyes shifting coldly from Namjoon straight at Jimin who's stare was equally as icy as Taehyungs. Jimin stood up straight glaring towards Taehyung before he turned around and looked towards me who was traumatized by the situation. He walked towards me and held lightly onto my arm.
"I'll take her home." He told them and Seokjin and Hoseok nodded letting me go. Taehyungs breath got heavy as he stared black holes into Jimins back. 

The walk back was pretty silent as I was slowly coming down from my fear.
"Are you ok?" Jimin asked and it was only then did I realise he was rubbing assuring circles on the back of my palm. A fearful sigh accidentally escaped my lips as I looked down.
"I'm fi-" My mouth shut tight. I know I'm not fine. Somethings wrong with me. I'm not ok and although I want to tell him I am, for some reason I can't. It doesn't feel right to lie to him.
"That was a stupid question. Sorry," He spoke up sounding a bit regretful.
"No, don't be sorry. It wasn't a stupid question. I'm glad you even bothered to ask." I blurted out not wanting him to feel bad. A small smile played on his lips as he chuckled lightly.
"Thank you. For helping me back there." I finally say as we enter the streets of where my apartment was situated.
"It's fine." He simply replies. His voice was soft and sweet. He had this very warm presence that easily made me comfortable and want to be with him more. Unknowingly a small smile worked up on my face as I wanted to hear more of his soothing voice.
"Why'd you do it? How'd you know I was there?" I asked wanting to hear the full story from him. 
He explained how he knew I was there and how he had a horrible feeling in his gut. We stopped outside the doors of the apartment complex.
"W-Would you like to come in for something to eat or drink?" I asked hesitant, wanting to secretly stay near his safe presence. He seemed to sense this as he smiled gently and nodded opening the door and entering behind me. 
"Sorry, I don't have very much at home." I say unlocking the door. I enter and move to the side to let him enter only to find him distracted by the normal looking door opposite mine. The door that looked so normal to everyone else but looked like the entrance to hell for me.
"It's fine." Jimin replies finally detaching his eyes from the door and entering.

Time went by quicker than usual, as it seemed and before we knew it, it was already 8:45pm. Our hang out session was spent well as all we did was share laughs, comfort one another, expose secrets and cry in each others arms.
After wiping a happiness filled tear away for the first time, Jimin and I quickly tried to calm ourselves.
"Thank you," I gasp out staring at him and his gorgeous smile. A stupid smile was also plastered on my face unknowingly. His smile widened as he moved forward. I stiffened in my spot as my heart rate began to increase abnormally and I felt blood rush to my cheeks. His hand came up and cupped my face.
"Why are you always thanking me? I didn't do anything." He chuckles staring deep into my eyes. I stutter lost for words before finding the courage and gently removing his hands away from my face. He sits back down and tilts his head to the side cutely as I look down towards my fidgeting fingers.
"You did more than you think. I've never laughed like that before in my life. Like I told you before; my world was basically black and white. No proper friends, real encouragement, nice welcoming family. Nothing. So for me to laugh so hard that I shed happy tears and not tears of torture, that's really something different for me, in a good way of course. So thank you. Thank you, Park Jimin." I say with the new-found courage that appeared out of nowhere. Now Jimin seemed to be the one who was lost for words as he stared blankly at me. His eyes were twinkling under the light bulb above our heads and his hair shined with the light. Even without doing anything he was glowing as he broke out into a soft smile. 
"I guess you're welcome then, Sohye." He says, his voice dropping an octave lower when saying my name. A distinct red tinge painted my cheeks as I shyly looked down. He chuckled before stretching and getting up. He looked at the time as I rose up too, following the direction of his eyes.
"It's late. I should head home and let you rest." He says, smile still enchanting his cute features. Captivated by his angelic visuals I just stupidly nodded staring at him in a complete daze.
"I-I'll send you out." I says but Jimin stops me as he opens the door.
"No, don't. You don't have too, it's fine. Stay inside. Keep warm and look after yourself well. And go to sleep. You've been through a lot today." He says raising a hand and stroking my hair. I unintentionally end up falling into his touch.
"ok," Is all I manage to say as he sends me one last smile and a flirtatious wink before walking towards the stairs.

Narrators POV

Jimin happily made his way towards and down the stairs an overly happy expression implanted on his cute features. 
His footsteps stop however when he accidently met someone's deathly glare. He didn't back down at the sight of the intimidating glare instead he returned the nasty gesture even adding a smirk to his features as he cocked his head to the left mockingly.
"Tch, you still have the audacity to be in this apartment building." Jimin scoffed, looking back, up the stairs towards the door which he'd just exited.
"Don't think just because we're friends I won't do anything to you Park Jimin." Taehyung growls his voice deep. Jimin only snickered rolling his eyes arrogantly at the male.
"Whatever." He smirks before forcefully hitting Taehyungs shoulder and striding past him. This caused Taehyung to lose his patience as he turned around and grabbed Jimins shoulder, forcing him around so they were facing each other. He roughly grabbed hold of Jimin's collar, scrunching it up in his fists. His glare was so powerful even a lion would bow down to him, but Jimin wasn't dealing with this shit today as he reacted just as fast and latched equally as tight and tough on Taehyungs collar. However this didn't affect Taehyung one bit as he continued speaking, his voice naturally husky.

"If you get anywhere near my things. Touch or associate yourself with anything that belongs to me. I won't hesitate to put you back in your place."
