There Was Nothing You Could Do

-𝐽𝑢𝑛𝑔𝑘𝑜𝑜𝑘-

Jimin's hand is tight around my wrist as we sprint down the hall.

"Maybe this was a bad idea..." The creature turns the corner behind us.

"We don't have time to think about this being a bad or a good idea right now. Come on." Jimin opens a door to a room.

It's just like the one Taehyung and Jin stay in.

There are two beds, a cupboard to the right of the door, a bathroom to the left, and a giant window at the wall opposite of the door.

I get down into my hands and knees and peek under the door.

A shadow comes into view. Jimin grabs my arm, trying to pull me up.

"Jungkook, stop messing around."

I turn my head and put a finger to my lips, telling him to be quiet.

The creature crouches at the door. My nose is filled with a stench that I can't identify as the creature's mouth opens.

It breathes out heavily and walks away.

"It's...gone?" I stand up and look at Jimin.

"Well good! We can leave!"

I see a shadow at the door again, "It's back..." The doorknob starts to move around.

The window behind us suddenly starts to crack as another shadow creature bangs on it.

Jimin stands in front of me with his arms out.

"Yeah like that'll help." Push his left arm down and stand next to him.

The window shatters and the creature grabs Jimin's legs.
He shouts and grabs onto the metal frame of one of the beds.

"Jimin! Hold on!" I grip onto one of his hands as the creature wraps around his legs, it's trying to pull him out the now broken window.

There is a pounding on the door to the room, but it doesn't open.

"Jungkook! Jungkook its stuck!" Taehyung's voice is muffled through the door but he keeps pounding on it.

"Jungkook! Jungkook there's something I need to tell you." Jimin's eyes meet mine.

"Don't talk like you're going to die hyung! I'll help..." I can't hear myself finish because Jimin starts shouting.

"I was there Jungkook! I was there! I was in that other car!" Jimin's words take me by surprise.

"What? What do you mean?" I grip tighter on his arm and try pulling him away from the creature.

"In the crash, where your father died! I was in the other car with my parents!"

"No! You're lying!" Tears form in my eyes and I wrap both my hands around Jimin's arm.

"Listen to me Jungkook! Blame me for what happened and let me go!"

"I'm not going to do that! It's not your fault! You were just a kid!"

"That doesn't matter! You need someone to blame other than yourself! I want that person to be me!"

"Stop talking and let me help you!"

There's sudden pain in my arms and I look at them to see Jimin, who digs his fingernails into my hands. I can't react fast enough to grab him again.

The creature slides out the window and to the ground below.

I run to the edge and look down. I can't spot Jimin.

I fall to my knees and tears start falling.

The door suddenly bursts open and Taehyung rushes in the room.

"Jungkook what..."

"J-Jimin... he...he made me let go." I talk in between sniffles.

"Shit!" Taehyung kicks the wall which makes me jump.

"We have to find him..." I peek out the window.

"I'm sorry Jungkook...if I was faster..."

"Shut up! Just shut up! You always blame yourself when we get hurt! Stop!" I stand up and I put my hands on Taehyung's chest, "It's never your fault!" I push him, tears streaming down my face.

"Hey, hey. Hey!" Taehyung places his hands on the side of my shoulders, "It's not yours either. Jimin made a choice we're going to find him. I promise."

I bring my hand up to my face and wipe my tears, "We should get back so everyone knows what happened."

Taehyung starts walking out the door and I stare out the window.

"Come on." Taehyung offers me his hand.

"Hyung...do you think we'll all make it out of here?" I look him in the eyes.

"I..." he puts his arm down, "I hope, because the sooner we do, the sooner we find Jimin."

I look out the window one last time and spot something on the ground, Jimin's inhaler.

"Jungkook, what are you doing?"

"He'll need this when we find him." I lightly smile and put the inhaler in my pocket.

I follow Taehyung down the stairs while I prepare myself to tell everyone else the story of what has happened.

Again, I don't mean anything by what happened to Jimin, I just feel like I need to say this because if I don't people might get angry with me. But I hope you still enjoyed this chapter and I hope you stay and read until the end. Have a lovely day <3
