Regent . PJM [Completed]

always

[Jimin's POV]

She didn't say anything as she stared at the shattered bits on the floor. 

"Sera?" I asked again.

No answer. 

Instead, she seemed to be so utterly petrified that she couldn't move. Her eyes quivered as she stared in front of her. 

I followed her gaze to see what she was looking at. 

The spilt puddle of water was slowly flowing between the floorboards. 

It ate everything in its path. 

The wood sizzled and disintegrated in its wake. 

What the hell? 

Suddenly, Sera jolted and ripped her body away from me. 

She looked horrified. 

Disgusted. 

Then her eyes caught my confused ones, and she unravelled. 

Gripping her shirt in her hands, she cried. Cried in absolute agony as she gasped out the words, "I'm sorry Jimin. I'm s-so sorry. I-" Her words were a blur between her sobs.

She looked tormented.

A jolt of sorrow pulsed through me. 

I went to go embrace her, but she scuttled away. 

I didn't know what was going on, but I didn't care. 

Sera was the most important right now. I'd get the details later. 

Forcefully, I pulled her into my arms. 

She fought for a only a moment, but as soon as she touched my chest, her hands grabbed at my torso, holding on tightly. 

I could almost feel the pain racking her body as she sobbed and shuddered. 

"Sh sh, it's okay, Sera. It's okay," I whispered, stroking her hair and trying to calm her as best as I could. 

When she finally could form cohesive words, she pulled away. Her tears still flowed. 

Her tragic eyes met mine as she hiccuped. "I'm so sorry Jimin. I-I don't deserve you. I understand if you killed me right here, right now. I'd do it myself too-"

I cut her off. "Hey. Sera. Slow down. No one is getting killed," I said, taking her hands in mine. 

Sure I was pretty shaken that I had almost died, again. But through this time, I had basically pieced together the story. 

The only thing missing, was motive. 

There was no way Sera would initiate an attempt on my life on her own. 

So who did? 

"Whatever it is, it's okay, Sera. I forgive you for whatever it is." She stared at me in bewilderment. 

"How can you? I-I just tried to poison you. How could you forgive me for such a sin?" she lamented.

I could forgive her, because it was gone. 

The mask was gone. 

I knew she would be transparent now. 

Plus, I stand by my words. 

Sera would never hurt me. Ever. 

"Because it's not your fault."

"B-but it is my fault."
