29 - Rigour

...

"How did we get out from that place?"

...

Minhyuk, the guest is here, on his knees too, kneeling right besides of Jin, his one hand is on Jin's shoulder, looking so concern at Jin. It is weird for them to see that.

That Minhyuk guy was the one who make himself be known to them as an enemy especially to Jin so why the hell Jin is protecting him and why the hell is that Minhyuk guy looking so concern at Jin the moment he saw in what condition the latter is in?

"I saw them on my way here, they did come here right?" Minhyuk asks while taking off his jacket and covers Jin's torso with it.

"Yes they came"

Jimin is the one who answered the question instead of Jin who is pushing away Minhyuk's and Jimin's hands.

His eyes is looking at somewhere in which they know, he is looking at the sculptures of ice. He stands on his own legs, pushing away the hands, slowly he makes his way to the sculptures.

The sculptures of a kid, there's a necklace on its neck. That was him. That was Jin. He knows that necklace, he knows what happened that day. Caressing the ice sculpture, Jin looks carefully at the sculpture for a long time that then his blue eyes flashes.

It was the day when he was lost at the camping site when he was a little kid. He knew this forest, he knew this forest because he's been here before. He was here when he got lost at the camping site. It's the forest, the same forest that he walked through.

"Your place"

He was with him, Jin knows it was him. He was with him in this forest. Just the two of them together. He was not lost, he followed him.

Their mouth shut as they silently look at Jin who intensely looking at the sculpture. They notice the flashes of his blue eyes.

Their eyes move as Jin moves to the other sculpture that catch their eyes the most the moment they saw it. Two figure of men that look like they're running.

"We are going to get out from here"

"Come on! They are coming!"

Jin shuts his eyes as he plops down on the ground, knees weak. Tears in his eyes.

"How did we get out from that place?" Jin asks, words that coming out from his mouth only hinted the sad yet agog.

They know the question is not for them, it is for Minhyuk.

"How did we get out from that place, Minhyuk?" again the question being asked when Minhyuk keep being silent, looking at Jin.

He just confirmed it, the question is for Minhyuk.

"Answer me" Jin states, demanding.

"Don't you remember? We got out because of you" Minhyuk eyes soften the moment he says the words.

"They marked me. I was not supposed to get out from there" Jin says, voice so soft that they almost couldn't make out what he said.

"I don't know what you did to that place, to get out from there but that place is gone. That place disappears as if it never exist, I thought you didn't make it out that day but then one day, I saw you at the academy"

"You surprised me so much, I was so speechless, I was too shocked. I wanted to talk to you but you seemed like you didn't even know me, you even backed away from me when all I did was, trying to talk to you about that incident"
