Still With My Memories

21: Mishaps

Author's POV
Ah- Ahjussi...Ahjussi! Ahjussi! Let me go! Help! Help!Ahhhhhhhh!

Naeun's scream gave shivers to Jungkook's team whose on their way to work. All of them felt the urgency and the fear of the child screaming so they ran immediately with no words.

Catching their breath, they finally found the kid. She was struggling while a man was forcefully carrying her.

"Ahhhh! Ahhhhh! Let me go!!"

They were blinded by the dark as cloud shrouded the moonlight. The three could not see any of their faces.

"Hold on... they might have gun." Taehyun prevented the other two from attacking recklessly.

Kenji tap Taehyun shoulder carefully observing the scene. "You have your phone, right?" He whispered. "I'm on it." Without wasting any more time, Taehyun already acted and immediately alerted the police.

Meanwhile, Jungkook kept his eyes at the familiar silhouette lying in the ground. The man was gripping desperately on thug's leg not letting him go away while the other continue beating him.

He gulped feeling uncomfortable sensation through his veins.

"Ugh... This guy is annoying.. let go of my leg already!" The man kicked him in the face without mercy, making the latter spit blood out of his mouth.

Little by little, clouds covering the moon gradually disappeared revealing bruised and bloody face of the man.

J-Jimin? Jungkook was dumbfounded. He shook his head in disbelief. N-no...It can't be him. W-why would he be in here?  Still could not believe of what he's seeing. Jungkook didn't took his eyes off the man. There's no way that is Jimin, he thought convincing himself until the man spoke...

"Let her go...P-please" He whimpered in pain but still refused to let go of big guy's leg.

Hearing his voice, there's no doubt it is really Jimin. "N-no..." Jungkook about to ran towards him but the other two was fast to stopped him.

"Hey! Kill him already!" He ordered the other man impatiently while wiggling his legs. But the man with cigar stopped the other two. He crouched in front of Jimin and whispered softly to his face, "That's what you get from playing hero." He said while touching Jimin.

"Any last words?" He lifted Jimin's face while caressing his chin.

Jimin looked at him with smug grin, he sneered at him. It was as if he was looking at the most pathetic person he had seen in his entire life, "I pity you. You're just a DISGUSTING human BEING, oh, I can't even call you human. Too bad. " He whispered too emphasizing the word disgusting and spitted in his face.

The calm thug leader looked down wiping the spit in his eyes in disbelief. His shoulders move up and down and started to act crazy. "HAHAHAHHAHA!" He laughed horrendously and every one shuddered.

In a blink, he suddenly grabbed Jimin's neck. Jimin frowned as he gasped to catch his breath. "No one ever dared to disrespect me like that." He said angrily. "KILL HIM!!!"

Without second thought, the other one position his bat aiming for Jimin's head.

"No! No! No! P-Please... Ahjussi Help!Somebody! P-please help us" The young girl cried as she scream at the top of her lungs.

Jimin POV
Will I die here?

I'm so pathetic.

Can't even take this young girl home.

Not letting them go away is the least thing I can do that's why I'm holding this man with all my might even it will cause my life.

I shut my eyes tightly waiting for my death.

Jungkook POV
I can see it clearly.

How that big man kick Jimin in his face.

How that creepy guy keep beating him with a smiling face

and how that lecher calmly watch while lighting his cigar as if watching a Netflix episode.

Ahhh my head hurts.

I can't explain the anger I'm feeling right now. I can feel my heart pounding hardly like its about to burst any minute.

I'll make all of them pay. Is all I can think of.

"N-no..." I am about to ran towards him but  Kenji stops me. "Keep calm man... We don't know how many are they. Taehyun already called the police."

I glared at him making him step back a little. "Are we supposed to wait here and watch them?!!" I whispered furiously.

"Look man, those guys are dange-"

"I don't fucking care!!!" I cut him off.

I can't take it anymore. I can't watch another blow to Jimin. Just hurt him once again and I don't know what I can do.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" All of us look at the lecher who's laughing horrendously like a crazy wimp. "Why is he laughing?" Kenji asked. "He's crazy." Taehyun whisper but pointing to Jimin.

My eyes widened when he suddenly grope Jimin's neck. I feel my veins about to pop out my head. How dare he? Without thinking, I jump out the bush to give these guys some beating. I couldn't watch anymore.

"No one ever dare to disrespect me like that." Lecher said angrily and threw Jimin away from him. "KILL HIM!!!" He ordered.

I ran fast as I could before that creep beat Jimin.

Jimin POV
I've already accepted that this could be my end and just helplessly waiting for the last blow but...

"Jungkook!" Someone shouted.

Instead of hit, a man suddenly fall beside me. I slowly open my eyes.

What's happening?

I flinch when another person ride on top of him and furiously punch the man.

W-what the? W-who?

My eyes almost popped out slowly realizing who it is.

It's Jungkook!

He's attacking the man tirelessly even it's already unconscious. "You. Son. Of. A. Bitch" He uttered every word in between his punch.

I can feel his anger in his every punches.

Is it because of me?
No...Why would he?

These guys are annoying in the first place but...

Why do I feel like crying?

My whole body is aching but I feel relieved.

This day, I almost die but thank goodness he came...

Jungkook came...

We're saved...

I'm saved.

"J-Jungkook s-ssi... T- that's e-enough..." I uttered with all the remaining strength I have but he seems to hear nothing.

"J-Jung...*coughs*"

Jungkook finally gets back to his senses and stop in the middle of his punches. He look at me in surprise and finally notices that his opponent is already unconscious.

"J-Jimin... I-I.." He stuttered surprised of what he just did.

Next thing we knew, he was pinned down to the ground while police sirens echoed the forest. Both of us lying on the ground with the same eye level.

I reached for his face and gently touch the wound on his cheeks. He's hurt because of me. The thought hurts too but I'm grateful "Thank you... T-thank you for c-coming" I mouthed him as my tears started dripping down the ground.
