jimin yawned as he walked towards the gym, feeling sleepy from his school day, happy it was now over.

he moved his hands to push open the gym doors, but they didn't open.

again, he tried to force the doors open, but it was locked from the inside.

jimin pulled out his phone to see if there was a message from their coach that said he had decided to cancel practice today, but there was no notifications about it.

going through his contacts, he clicked on jungkook's and brought his phone up to his ear, waiting for him to answer.

inside of the gym, he could hear a phone ringing, making it obvious that jungkook was inside.

"jimin?" a voice asked, shaking a little bit.

"seokjin?" jimin questioned, not understanding why he picked up the other boy's call. "where's jungkook, and why's the door locked?"

immediately the older male appeared in front of the gym doors, opening it for the smaller male looking at him curiously.

jimin sat down his backpack and hung up the call, placing his phone back in his pocket.

glancing around, he noticed everyone else's things lined up against the wall instead of in the locker room, namjoon also sitting down against it with his headphones in and head resting on his knees like he was thinking or distracted.

"where is everyone?"

seokjin swallowed the saliva in his mouth out of nervousness. "the locker room."

jimin looked over at the door, complete confusion written clear on his face.

"why?"

seokjin looked down, hesitantly opening his mouth. "they just took jungkook in there. i don't know if he's okay."

upon hearing the words jimin ran to the locker room door, pushing his way inside.

"you're so fucking pathetic." yoongi laughed when jungkook flinched at him just lifting up his hand.

"you talk a big game when it's to someone smaller than you, but what about us?" hoseok questioned, arms crossed on his chest, looking down at him amusedly.

"what the hell are you doing?" jimin asked, seeing the younger backed up against one of the lockers, yoongi, hoseok and taehyung preventing him from going anywhere.

"jimin." jungkook called out, afraid of the three standing over him to intimidate him.

taehyung scoffed looking back at the dark haired brunette. "so you bully the fuck out of him, but when anyone does it to you, you call out for him like he's supposed to come save you?"

"taehyung," jimin stepped towards them, glaring hard at the tall male. "what are you doing?"

"jimin." jungkook whispered out again, eyes pleading for him to stop what was going on.

the shorter teenager finally took in what was happening, letting out a breath of disbelief. "were you going to hurt him?"

hoseok and yoongi looked at taehyung, both of them silently stepping back out of jimin's way.

jimin looked at the boy whom he originally thought was really kind, now viewing him as some sort of monster. "i can't believe you,"

lacing his fingers with jungkook's, he guided the brunette who was basically cowering down like a scared dog out of the locker room.

as soon as they got out, seokjin let out a breath, relieved jimin had gotten there before they could do anything he was too afraid of stopping.

without a word, jimin reached over namjoon and grabbed the younger's bag for him and then his own, pulling jungkook out of the gym and away from the five other guys, wanting to get him away from the situation.

jungkook tripped a little out of his own nervousness, his breathing indicating that he was having a panic attack.

jimin reassuringly squeezed his hand, now walking a little slower and trying not to seem as angry as he was to not overwhelm him even more.
