MEGA SKIP DON'T KILL ME

Yoo Ri's P.O.V

(a year later)

It was all simple.

I lived alone.

In a smaller house now. Everything has been going well.

Hyunwoo has been meeting me often since we weren't neighbours anymore.

The latest thing he told me was that the new family who moved in next door were super nice, and the daughter was really close to him.

And I would always say that she's the one for him, he wouldn't deny it.

He finally found another girl.

Hyunwoo is settled, at least I hope so.

Jungkook? He's now, someone who's always with me.

No, we're not together.

And he knows exactly why.

We're simply just friends. Even though, there may be some shaky feelings here and there.

I have never crossed the line. Besides that one time... When I got drugged at the club and he had to bring me home.

I was not in the right mind, and the consequences, were embarassing.

Apparently I kept trying to kiss Jungkook

But we never talked about it ever again.

Because it was such a bad occasion.

I kept saying Jimin's name. I kept thinking Jungkook was Jimin at that time.

And it was because of what I was doing.

The whole year I was working with a group of scientists and doctors, and they were helping me find a way to get Jimin back to normal.

We kept trying. I kept trying. I knew I wanted him, and only him.

We tried everything.

And after a year, it worked. It finally worked.

We found a cure for it.

And today's the day, I meet Jimin again. When he's fully sane. And his memory will be crystal clear.

"I'll be happy for you only if you're happy." Jungkook chuckled, and pushed me towards the door.

The rest of BTS were waiting outside too.

The moment of truth. He was gonna get released.

Out of this cage. Out of the hell inside him.

I opened the door, and peeked in, there I saw, a man sitting down, seemingly dazed.

As soon as Jimin heard the sound of the door opening, he turned to look.

Once he saw me, his emotionless look turned into an excited one.

"Y-Yoo Ri!!" He screamed and he stood up, running to me.

He hugged me so tight, rocking me side to side.

He sniffled so much, and I stood there, unsure of what to do.

Because I was so taken aback. It's been a year. I couldn't go near him. I couldn't talk to him. I could only see his still body from afar.

And now he's moving around like this.

Slowly, he let go of me, then stared at me in worry.

"D-Do you not... Miss me?" He asked, his eyebrows crashing together.

"N-No... It's just... It's been so long." I explained, and he faintly smiled.

"I'm... So sorry. I know what happened. I know some things that happened. And I couldn't control myself.. " Jimin said, looking down.

Heck, my heart raced so quickly, I could feel it without even touching my chest.

Just as I wanted to talk to him more, 2 detectives came in the room.

"We're sorry to spoil the moment but now that Mr Park is all fine and normal, we need to continue on case #893. It was temporarily terminated 10 months ago. But now that we received news that he's fine, we need to interrogate him as he's our main suspect as the murderer of your very own parents." That sick, Mr Lee, detective that has been so hung up on this case, is back.

I turned to look at Jimin worriedly, and he only smiled.

"Sure. I'll be fine, don't worry. Just, please wait for me." Jimin said, his hand grabbing onto mine.

I looked at our hands together, and I couldn't help but smile.

I trust Jimin. He couldn't possibly be the one who killed my parents.

"Promise me, if anything happens, you'll wait for me?" Jimin asked, and I hesitated.

If anything happens? Does he mean by, if he gets arrested or jailed? What if they accuse him of something thay he never did. What if he gets jailed for the wrong reason?

"Yoo Ri, promise me." Jimin said, snapping me back into reality.

I faintly smiled, and slowly, I nodded.

"I... I p-promise." I stuttered, unsure why.

"I love you. Always do." He smiled and ruffled my head, before I had to leave the room.

Before I did, I turned back and looked at Jimin once again.

This could be the last time I see him in a good light...

That was a good, one minute, Park Jimin.

After a whole year, we still end up only getting a minute. Before the world crashed on us again.

(SKIP)

"It's the day." Jungkook muttered under his breath, as soon as I opened the door to see him.

"Y-yeah, uhm, just one second I misplaced my keys." I said, trying to find where I left my keys.

Jungkook walked in the house, and tried to help.

And there I saw, on the table, my keys.

In a rush, I quickly grabbed the keys.

Yet, my quick actions weren't all that good.

The keys dropped to the floor, underneath this cabinet.

I sighed, then went on my knees.

I looked underneath the cabinet and my hand reached in. I couldn't see what was in there, so I kept reaching until I heard the sound of metal.

I quickly grabbed the keys securely, and soon enough, I sat up.

"Phew." I huffed out and turned around.

And that was when the most awkward moment happened.

My face was facing Jungkook's...

Well, crotch, I guess.

"Yoo Ri, that's, a wrong move." Jungkook awkwardly said.

I gulped, then slowly looked up.

Immediately, I moved back, still on my knees, before finally pushing myself to stand up.

I wiped my legs, hoping that the dust will go away.

At the same time, hoping that Jungkook ignores the previous awkward situation.

Suddenly, I heard a soft snicker coming from Jungkook. Once I looked up, I saw him already walking out of the house.

"Hey! Wait for me." I whined, then quickly followed him out of the house.

"You're just slow!" Jungkook chuckled.

After locking up the door, I ran towards his car.

"Anyways, who's taking care of Ryul today?" I asked.

"Got my cousin to help me this time since BTS are all going to the court with us too." Jungkook pursed his lips and I sighed.

"Hopefully, just hopefully, he isn't guilty of doing those crimes." I softly said, and Jungkook nodded.

"Whatever happens, don't worry. Everything will be okay." Jungkook assured, but I could only pray.

"If he really gets proven guilty, and goes to jail... Promise me," Jungkook said, his one hand travelled from the steering wheel to my thigh, "Don't cry."

I looked at him, and couldn't help but smile.

"I won't." I said, and Jungkook scoffed with a smirk.

"How about, every tear that comes out, I give you a kiss?" He said, and I scoffed even louder than he did before.

"No, don't even try to threaten me." I chuckled.

"What? Oh? It's a deal then." Jungkook giggled and I rolled my eyes.

"Doesn't mean I'll let you." I said.

"Oh, you will." He smiled.

(SKIP)

JIMIN.

He was psychoed into doing things he didnt want to.

People implanted micro chips in him and injected weird things into him to form the monster in him.

He didn't even know how he did the things that he apparently did.

But he was still proven guilty.

He, Park Jimin, admitted to killing MY parents.

What was I feeling?

I couldn't be angry. Because my parents made him into what he was.

It was just karma. What goes around comes around.

But then... He could've avoided it, right? Yet... He did it. He was really the killer.

How can I fall in love with someone who killed my parents? That's just a sin.

He's proven guilty of the murder of my parents.

But because of the insane things that overcomed his mind, he doesn't have a long sentence.

Just, 5 years in prison.

At that point, tears were fighting to leave my eyes.

I didn't even want to look at Jimin.

Because I was scared.

I didn't know who he was anymore.

I knew he was looking at me. And I, didn't even spare a glance at him.

I only looked into blank space, hoping that my tears don't pour out.

As soon as the judge was done, everyone was dismissed.

Quickly, I stood up and turned away.

"Hey! Let go of me! Yoo Ri!" I heard Jimin's voice shouting for me.

I didn't know whether to turn around or not.

There was this small feeling, that was pulling my heart, to just turn around, before I regret it.

He told me to promise him. That I wouldn't leave him.

No matter what.

How could I not leave him now? I had to. Unless he was to drag me into prison with him.

Slowly, his voice became softer and distant.

Only after his voice became softer, I turned to look back at him.

Just the final glance.

And I saw him, getting pulled away by the guards as he continued to try to look at me.
"We gotta go." Hoseok broke me away from my thoughts, and I looked at him.

"Y-yeah, let's go." I stuttered.

I felt so bad.

I felt so guilty.

I don't know how to face Jimin anymore.

Do I... Go visit him?

"Let's go?" Hoseok warily said, and he grabbed my wrist, pulling me slightly.

I nodded, and eventually, walked out with him.

It was a regret.

That ruined my entire life.

To not look back at Jimin properly, it was the biggest regret.

And you'll know soon.

Exactly why, it became such a big regret.
