TW: MENTIONS OF ABUSE AND RAPE

12:30 am with no sign of whether you were okay or not. every anticipating moment killed me, it sent me ballistic. i paced along the sidewalk outside of the hospital, my dress shoes tapping against the concrete with every step i took. jimin sat on the hospital stairs, fingers interlocked as he stared at the floor.

"god, how the fuck could i let this happen?" i cried out, pulling at the hair on my head with clenched teeth.

"its not your fault hobi, you couldn't have known what the hell was going on in her brain," jimin sighed out, his knuckles turning white from how hard he was clenching his fists.

"do you think anything caused her to do this? anything recent or maybe something that happened today?" i questioned, biting the inner corner of my cheek.

he sighed, "i mean, i have a few thoughts but i have no idea what happened back at prom. i just remember her going to the bathroom and not coming back for a while. i went in and didn't find her anywhere. i went looking for my car because i didn't have my keys, got her text, told you and then we went after her."

we both thought hard, trying to put the puzzle pieces together. from my perspective, i watched you walk in with jimin. you two hung out for a bit, and right before the two of you were about to leave, you went to the bathroom. you couldn't have left through the entrance, or else we would've saw you. you must've gone through the back and took jimin's keys when he wasn't looking, it was the only explanation.

"i don't know what happened, but there's only one person i can think of to blame for this."

"who?"

"yoongi," jimin mumbled, anger seething through his voice.

"what would he have to do with this?"

he looked towards me with large eyes, shocked that he said that aloud, "oh fuck."

i walked towards him, "jimin, answer my question."

"i don't know if it's my place, hoseok. what happened was personal shit, minji swore me not to say anything," he bit his lip in fear, realizing he fucked up real bad.

"in case you haven't noticed jimin, minji is in a fucking hospital bed!" i cried out, frustration booming in my voice.

i sighed into my hands, rubbing my face before looking down at jimin, "look, can you just please tell me what yoongi has to do with any of this?"

"alright i will, but you have to promise me you don't tell anyone i told you and i fucking mean it hoseok!"

"i wont, i promise."

he sighed, knees shaking as he spoke, "well you know how early into the school year, minji and yoongi started hanging out? well, they started talking once minji got that job at the ice cream shop. minji ended up falling for him, and he fell for her too. they went on tons of dates, shared their new years kiss and got really close. they started dating shortly after, but they kept it low because she didn't know how you would feel about it. things were going smoothly, until that one night at jin's party."

"jin's party? the one you and i got black out drunk at?"

"yeah, some fucked up shit happened that night. minji isn't the kind of girl who drinks often, so any small amount of alcohol could get her intoxicated quickly. she told me she got drunk that night, but yoongi was still sober. they had gone up into one of jin's guest rooms and things got pretty heated. for the whole time that minji and yoongi were dating, they never had sex. so this made yoongi anxious and he tried to have sex with minji that night. she stopped him from going further that night, because she told him she wasn't ready. he kept trying to force himself onto her but she kept trying to resist. he wouldn't let go of her, and when she tried to scream, he hit her out of anger.  minji ran out of there once he realized what he had done. if minji wasn't able to resist him and get out of there, he could've-"

he stopped his words, shuddering as he spoke, "he could've raped her, hoseok. yoongi abused and tried to rape minji that night."

i froze, staring down at him with wide, shaky eyes, "what?"

"he was so rough and forceful with her that she had bruises on her arms from how hard he held her. she immediately broke up with him the next day, and out of anger, he spread a rumor about how she forced herself onto him and made everyone believe she was a slut. the idiots that go to our school believed him and she's been getting bullied for it every day. even after she confronted yoongi about it, he refuses to say the truth."

he sighed, raking a hand through my hair, "that's why i nearly killed him that day in the cafeteria. because that asshole attempted to rape a girl and actually got away with it."

my hands twitched at every word he spoke, my blood pulsing in my veins. i couldn't believe it, that all of this was happening right in front of my own eyes. my own friend, my best friend, did that to my sister. i wanted to strangle him with everything in me, to watch him wither in his fragile ego. i stared at jimin, clenching my fists as i only had one thought in my mind.

the next time i see yoongi, he's dead.
