Author's POV
The doorbell rang and Miss Marianne hurriedly walked to the door to open it. It was 10am in the morning and in came a tired and a destitute Jimin. He stumbled into her arms and on the ground. He cried endlessly as Miss Marianne stroked his back affectionately. "Young man, I cannot judge you. What happens to be the problem?", she asked in a worried and a trembling voice. Jimin got up on his feet, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and took a deep breath before uttering these heavily obnoxious words, "I have committed a sin and I cannot ever forgive myself for this." he then dragged himself to his room and straight into the cold shower.
It was clearly evident that Miss Marianne was unaware of the sensitivity of the situation; she was not aware of the situation at all. The only news she recieved of this day's happening was the fact that Jimin killed Jack and he left the mansion right after. She had been ill for a few days so Jimin excused her and sent her to her family for extra care. But, to her dismay, she returned to a havoc.
She stared at him as he "dragged" himself to his room, clenching her heart. Her wrinkles were now more prominent as sadness shone upon her like the candle-light on the wax, making its imperfection more obvious. Questions and curiosity buzzed in her brain. Her daily chores were delayed and disturbed but she managed to get Jimin's food on a tray, ready to be taken to his livelihood. While she was on her way, footsteps and more unwanted footsteps were heard by her small ears. Coincidently, the clock ticked at 12pm and the Grandfather's Clock's voice heralded in the portion. She gulped on her nervousness, set the tray aside on a nearby side-table, fixed her clothes and tracked down the sound. It was none other than Mr. Daniel who's arrival was much expected but seldom wanted. She gasped at his sight but quickly greeted him with a heartily "Bonjour!", seeing that she had a very charming personality and was very soft spoken.
Before he could greet her back or she could present her service to him, Jimin joined in. "Hello father! It's good to see you here!", he fake smiled and bowed down in respect. "Well well well. Look who we have here. A fine looking gentleman! The French women are desperately waiting for their knight in shining armour to come rescue them with bravery and enthusiasm and not to mention the immense thrill their knight Alex Armanto Jimin possesses.", Mr.Daniel vomited all his anger in taunting words while Miss Marianne and Jimin stayed silent with their heads hung low. "Do you have no answers? That's a pity! Allow me to rephrase my overstatement, as you would call it, who on Earth made you so heroic Monsieur Jimin that you killed my most trusted men? Was it because of a girl? Or you could not manage your time with the girl because he would interfere and would want to join in-". "He laid his filthy hands on her!", Jimin cut off Mr. Daniel's words and defended his aim. "So it's clear that a woman is involved!". "Yes father! But allow me to explain the whole situation.", Jimin's heart was trembling, his body in a palpation. Everything was wronged even Jimin's sanity.
