DIRTY SECRET || Kookjin

Third person's pov:

The workshop was over by noon, it was indeed very fruitful as they got to learn many new things and clear their doubts on the subject.

The lunch was extravagant with varieties of food organized by the sponsor of the workshop themself-making the students jump on it and stuffing their faces with the tasty food.

Since it was their last day in Ilsan they had many events and activities organized in the evening, such as - hiking, campfire night, and so on.

The activities began with hiking. Each and every student was excited to take part in it as the winner would be awarded a special prize.

It was like this-the participants will be given the maps as they have to go through the thick Jungle connecting the Shibu mountain: a famous place for hiking. While doing that they will be guided by the blue flags-which are planted in advance, in order to avoid the chances of getting lost in the jungle. The one who will reach the top of the mountain first would be awarded.

Everything seemed so nice and excited as the students were too eager to participate. Indeed everything would be fun and would have engraved as a beautiful memory only if Seokjin wasn't lost and stood in the middle of the jungle, not knowing what to do.

This wouldn't have happened if Yoongi were here with him. But to his bad luck, Yoongi had to go back to Daegu in the morning; as he was summoned to attend his family emergency.

Now he is standing all alone. And NEWSFLASH: he didn't carry his mobile with him to ask for any help. He knows, it was so stupid of him not to carry his mobile. It wasn't his fault, basically- as Taehyung wouldn't stop banging on his door- asking him to hurry up as they were running out of time, since Seokjin fell asleep at the noon and woke up late, causing all the ruckus which came in the name of Taehyung.

"Ugh!" Seokjin groans for the nth time as no matter which path he was choosing to reach his destination, he was again brought back to the same spot he began. It is as of he is caught in the never-ending labyrinth.

It is already five-thirty in the evening as the darkness slowly started to envelope-engulfing the daylight.

Seokjin's every try to get out of the jungle is becoming tiring now. He can hear the wolves howling at the distance which is accompanied by the series of howls-making him scared.

He really seems to be down on his luck; as it started drizzling with the chances of getting worse as the time went by.

"That's it!". He stands up clenching his fists. "I can't stay like this. I have to do something." He mutters and flings his backpack over his back and starts walking in a fast-pace. But, since, the land was wet with the mud being moist-making it slippery. He only realized it when his right leg got stuck in the wet mud piles and his ankle got twisted badly, making him fall on his face.

He groaned in agony with the stinging pain in his ankle and bruises here and there on his body. He slowly brought his hands on the hard land, supporting himself to stand up. His legs thrashed for a while and finally was able to stand on his legs. But the pain was so intense that he immediately collapsed on the ground, helpless.

He sat there unmoving. He felt so helpless and vulnerable as all his constant tries are meeting with failure. That's it I guess, he thought. His life will be coming to an end; as his handsome-self will be a tasty dinner for the wild animals. He will never see his Jiminie again. Nobody will know how he met his tragic end.

Seokjin sighs and folds his legs bringing them together near his chest, as he tightens his hands around it. Tears start to well-up as the flashes of every important thing in his life play in front of his eyes-making him even more emotional than he already was.
