We're just strangers in passing casually
It's not us no more
It's just you and me

-You and Me

Jangmi

It's getting colder every second now. My heart is still beating fast. I felt too scared but I got used to it already, now that I finally accepted the truth.

I'll die today.

"What do you want me to do?" The guy called Yoongi asked in a low voice.

I looked up to him.

"If I asked you to set me free... Will you... do it?"

He gazed at me blankly. I can see no emotion written on his face right now- not even a small glimpse of mercy.

I didn't know where I got the strength and courage to stare back at him- but I did. Maybe I looked too weak, or too exhausted. Maybe I can now be compared to a dying person. But I don't want to care anymore.

My mind's too drained. And I wasn't as strong as anyone else. Where will I find the courage to help myself? I want to plead this guy right now. But I'm just so sure that he won't let me go.

He suddenly smirked at me and took a step closer.

"I don't like wasting time." I was startled to hear his voice get louder and also when he suddenly pulled my arm to make me stand up.

For some reason, he slightly tilted his head upward, as if he's trying to make the other guys hear what he'll say.

Let's do this already."

And with that, Mason and his group cheered loudly and it echoed in the whole place.

"Aaah!" I started screaming in horror. I heard them laugh louder.

Yoongi held both of my arms. I tried escaping away from him.

"Get away from me! Yah! Let me go!"

"I wanna hear impressive sounds Yoongi-ah!" Mason shouted.

He ignored what Mason said. Instead, his evil smirk turned suddenly into a serious expression. He placed his hand on my head, pulling it gently near him which surprised me. Now, I can feel his hot breath on my ear.

Why is he suddenly so calm?

"Stop being afraid."

I held my breath.

Did he really told me that? And I felt like he's sincere. Why does he sound so different from the others? He is too a bad guy after all and I know that he can kill me any second from now. But why do I feel like... I'm safe?

I closed my eyes tightly as I shook my head again and again.

How will I stop myself from being afraid when I'm at the verge of death?

I almost jumped after he slightly bit my ear.

There is still the other guys' voice. I know they were listening to every single thing.

"Look." He uttered which stopped me from making any sound. I held my breath.

"If you wanted to be saved..." My body shivered as soon as I felt him smoothly slide his hand on my nape.

If I want to be saved... What?

"We need to do this."

My heart skipped a beat.

The next thing I know, he tossed my coat away and harshly ripped my uniform.

"No!" I cried out and hugged myself. And as expected, there comes Mason's mirth along with the others. I wailed in front of Yoongi's face.

"Please stop it!"

No! This can't be happening. I'm not going to let him claim my body. What should I do? I need to escape from this place. I can't let him do this to me! I don't want to!

Where are you guys? Seokjin? Omma and appa?? Jae eun? I need your help! Anything... anything just to stop this, jebal.

He wrapped his arm around me and I landed on his chest.

I sobbed, trying hard to catch my breath. "L-let me g–"

"Sshh."

That was the last thing I heard clearly.

My mind went crazy to everything he did next.

🌸🔪🌸

I woke up because of the sound of the door being closed.

Slightly opening my eyes, I saw Yoongi standing just a few distance from me. Opening the cover of a band-aid.

A tear immediately fell from my eye after seeing him.

I don't want to let him know that I'm already awake so I pretended to still be asleep. My body aches so much too.

Yes, he did it to me.

And I can't accept the fact that I was...

Damn it.

This is a terrible life. Something I should be ashamed of. This wasn't the thing I've ever dreamed of. How come it happened to me? Of all people, why me?

I feel like a dirty person now. Far from the innocent lady living in a simple life before, where there was peace inside me. Now... I just can't breathe normally.

I wanted to punch that guy right now. Anger's all over my heart and mind. I feel so angry to him, to them all. I don't know where I got this but... I suddenly had the urge to kill them. Stab them with a knife, shoot them or beat them to death. How could they? How could they just ruin my life like this? In just a snap, everything is gone.

I wish I just got shot like Jae eun.

This is worse. Totally.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps drew closer towards me. My heart raced faster while trying my best to look naturally asleep. But I can't even breathe properly how can I look to be in deep sleep?

Not knowing what to do, I just closed my eyes tightly. There's this weird feeling as if someone's staring closely to me right now.

Where is he already anyway? Did he go? Cause I don't hear any sound at all. I wanna see.

I opened my eyes just to see Yoongi right in front of my face. My eyes widened at the sight of him while he was calmy throwing me a gaze, with our faces just a few inches away.

I gulped.

Why isn't he moving?

Hey why won't he stop?

Yah why won't he–

Oh, he stood straight already.

I was scared again. I don't want to look at him but he caught my attention after throwing me a piece of... clothing?

"What's this?" I asked. He just shrugged his shoulders as an answer.

I wrapped my blanket around my body before sitting straight on the bed. Then picked up the... oh it's a shirt. A black shirt. Of a guy. What?

I glanced at him, puzzled. "Why are you giving–"

I stopped talking as he shushed me. Placing his index finger on his lips to give me a warning.

Is it because of the other boys? Why does he have to keep this as a secret? No let me change the question, why is he giving me a shirt?

He turned around and was about to walk away. "Don't catch a cold."

"Wait." I accidentally grabbed his hand to make him stop walking. He first looked at our hands then to me.

"..."

Where should I start? His stare is seriously distracting my mind.

"Mwo?" He asked.

"Uhh... W-where did that came from?" I pointed to the band aid on his left cheek. He pointed to it too, making sure that I was talking about that wound. Was it a wound? I think?

"You did this."

My eyes widened. "M-me? When?"

"Earlier before you passed out."

About that. How did I pass out? Did he punch me? Or slapped me? Like how the bad guys did in a movie?

"You wanted to escape but you're too weak. And you drained your energy."

"I-I passed out because of that?" He nodded as an answer. So, it means he did not hurt me.

Our conversation was distracted by Mason's shout.

"Bro! We'll just go out for a sec."

Yoongi sighed in a bored way before answering. "Don't come back after ten seconds and I'll kill you."

"Pfft okay fine. We'll be back in maybe... After an hour." He said in finality. "About that, remember our deal alright? Kill. I love that word."

Kill? What does he mean?

The sound of the door being shut told us one sure thing.

"Do whatever you want. We're all alone now." He said and silently walked to his table. He sat down and scrolled on his phone silently.

I don't know why but my heart skipped a bit because of what he said.

I frowned after a question build up in my mind. Is he a real killer? Or a criminal? Why isn't he doing something now that we're alone? It's not like I want him to end my life or things like that but... doesn't a killer do those kind of stuffs?

"Hajima." He uttered out of nowhere and looked at me.

"Huh?" I asked in confusion.

"Do you want to say anything? Stop staring at me." He stated with his eyes still on his phone.

I fluttered my eyes repeatedly from embarrassment. "O-oh..."

I first dressed myself up before talking. "Why were you like that?"

"Hmm?"

Why are you like that? Earlier you scared the hell out of me. Then you trapped me. Then took granted of my body. But now... Giving me a shirt to not catch a cold, telling me to do whatever I want since no one's around but the two of us, maybe being kind to me as well? Or not totally kind but at least you're treating me like I'm a real person.

"Why were you like that? Who are you?"

I saw his fingers stop moving as if that question struck him. Seconds passed, he leaned back on his chair and took a deep breath. What is going on through his head now?

"I kill people." He began talking.

The next thing I know is that I just sat still- more like frozen on my seat. My body trembled after hearing what he said. But what scares me more is the fact that... he seemed as if there are more things that he'll say. Worse things.

"I break rules, get myself in fights, almost got caught and everything else. That's who I am. I don't do drugs but I smoke and drink."

I bit my lip. Oh my god. Please help me, I don't know what to do anymore.

"What do you want to know next?" He asked and smirked. Then he stood up, slowly walking towards me.

No. What will he do? Will he kill me now?

Without saying a word, I stood up and was about to run but he caught my wrist. I stumbled to him.

"No." I pleaded.

There is really no other way for me to live? Why am I so stupid? I just thought he's different from the others in some way. What a fool, Jangmi. How can you think that he might help you? He's a criminal.

"Do you want to know what should I do next?"

"Please just let me go." I almost whispered from loss of voice.

Here I am again, begging for my life to be saved.

"Sit down." He demanded. He gently dragged me towards the bed and let me sit.

Now he's being gentle. Just what is his real personality? A bad guy? A good one?

He took one step backward and examined me. I just looked down the floor.

The door's just right there. But it's too hard to reach.

There was silence for a few seconds. I heard him sigh sharply.

"The plan was to kill you after what happened earlier." He started.

I threw him a glance in shock. What??

"It's a deal."

I looked away.

How could he say those things face to face? Looking straight at me and saying that they'll kill me. Do they really not care about people's lives? All they know is how to feed their heartless needs.

"So, w-will you... Will you do it?"

My heart shattered into a million pieces. Wow, what a rare scenario. A guy telling a girl that he'll end her life. And the girl asking if he will really do it.

What kind of question is that, Jangmi? Of course he will.

Who are you to him? You're just no one.

So definetely, he'll kill you.

He scoffed.

"No."
