Present~

As I came to my senses, I moved my sore hands and came to know they are tied, but separate from each other upon my head. Wrists are hurting so badly as if they are in this position for hours. An unintentional whimper left my lips due to the discomfort.

My head is hanging in a downward direction and because of it, my neck is in pain and I ain't able to move it. Just wanted to stay like this forever cause a little movement aches more than anything right now.

My limpy body is slightly swinging back and forth in the air. Gravity is doing its perfect job and I feel like the gravitational force is pulling my whole body towards the earth. The entire body is now slowly turning numb with passing seconds. Appears like the blood circulation is going to stop at any minute.

I take a deep breath, savoring the smell from the surrounding. I catch some different types of odors.

A sickening pungent smell of smoke spread into my nostrils along with a faint scent of water. I scrunch my nose in reflex. No matter how much I try to think but I am unable to guess the place, water plus smoke nothing seems to match.

I went to many rooms in this place but no such room smells like this.

Am I somewhere out of that place?

Where am I?

With all my strength left in my body, I moved myself to stretch my stiffed limbs but my figure didn't move an inch all because there's no energy left. Carefully I opened my burning eyes to see what's happening here. They are so heavy and I feel so drowsy and exhausted.

After fluttering my eyes for some seconds, I saw black. Everything is black in front of me. How can this be possible? Am I in some dark room—

As my senses leisurely highlighted I can slowly feel what's around me. The temperature is unfriendly. It's so cold.

Still, it doesn't feel like I am somewhere out of this place. But then, it's not like I know everything about this place just leaving some rooms where they lock me for some time. Then a light feeling of cloth on my cheeks and forehead can be recognizable.

Blindfold.

My eyes are shielded with a blindfold.

"Mmhh...." A breathy moan left through my lips when I moved in all pain. I gulped hard. Water. I want water. My neck is burning in need of water. I don't remember when the last time I drink. They just give us medicines and capsules.

Everything is aching inside me...hands, legs, body everything. My head is pounding in my skull. If I keep hanging here like this, my body will never be able to walk again, I am sure of that.

Keeping this thought in my mind which is building fear in my body I moved, with all force. I want to know where I am. How much time has been passed while I was hanging like this here?

But where is Jimin?

I can't hear him.

Wait!! He is alive, right?

No! No! Where is he?

Did they—

I caught a low feeble painful groan from the left of my side, the voice is not far, I can sense it. After that, a sob can be heard. My eye widen when I realized who the person is.

"J-Jimin-ah."

Feel like he discern me and then a voice said, "S-Sun-ah." He calls out for me as if he is also searching for me for a long time.

The second I hear his voice, a huge amount of relief washed over me and I breathe out with a small smile on my face. Eyes spilled tears of joy of finding Jimin near me.

He is here, close to me.

That's all I need. Because we need each other to overcome these situations.

"Jimin-ah!! Jimin-ah...!" My voice cracked as I called him. It comes out so broken like a murmur due to the overwhelming emotions. Nobody knows how much energy he gives me just by standing next to me.

Sometimes you just need a person who can make you feel less miserable just by their existence.

That's Jimin to me.

He cried out my name and broke down into tears next to me. Hearing his shattered voice calling for me is making my heart burst into pieces. He seems so weak.

"A-Are you o-okay?A-Are you h-hurt s-somewhere? C-Can you s-see me?" His words stammer on his lips, voice so worried. Tears overflowed in my eyes as I nod slowly giving his answer if I am fine or not.

"A-Are you l-listening to m-me?" He asked me again, my eyebrows frowned in confusion. Didn't he see I just nodded my head? His voice is continuously ringing in ears. Is he just like me? Blindfolded. Out of curiosity, I said.

"Jimin-ah. I a-am fine. A-Are you b-blindfolded too?" He hummed in response. He is huffing a lot in pain, but it was clear that he is suppressing his voice. I sucked a long breath from my lips.

Memories of the time when they were dragging us out from the cold room knocked in my mind. If I hadn't said anything at that time, we would not have been in this condition now. Everything happened because of me, everyone is hurting because of me. 

Everything is a blur after that, nothing seems to work out. How much time has passed while we both are hanging here?

We both are blindfolded. And no one seems to be here. Not a single sound can be heard in this place, just our shuddered breathing. It took me a while to get this idea across my mind.

Is this is the punishment "they" talked about?

Have they left us to die here?

Is Jimin fine?

Will, we do not see each other anymore?

What if something happens to Hobi when we are not there for him?

Will he be conscious now? If yes, then he must be waiting for us now and we are not with him. What if he is scared?

Strom of negative thoughts is heading towards my mind blocking all the other's thoughts. It is way too strong that I couldn't able to think about other ones.
A thought leads to others and that shows the path to the next one.

My mind is full of mess. Fear is creeping its cave inside my body resulting in the form of sobs which left my lips with painful tears due to all the surrounding anxiety.

"Hey...Sun-ah!" He called me with his strained voice which almost heard like a whisper due to how tired he is. "Please don't cry— You don't have to worry about me, okay!! I am fine bun, my wrists just hurt a little. Please don't stress yourself we will find a way to get out of here." He pleaded with shaking vocals.

"I— Jimin-ah...I am s-sorry. It's all— it's a-all my f-fault!" I started weeping in remorse. Knowing that this is all because of me, I regret everything that happens in that chilly room.

It hurts so bad, I feel like my heart is burning in repentance. I seriously wanted to stop myself from talking but the thing is if I didn't speak at that time it would have been a catastrophe. Those evil people could have harmed Jimin and I can't let this happen at any cost. 

Like they both protect me, I have to protect them.

But my dumbass didn't give a thought about repercussions. It would be better if I didn't exist in this world, everything would be perfect then.

"No! No!! It's not— don't bring t-that thought in y-your mind ever again. It w-was not your f-fault, it was never." A loud audible hardness goes down through his throat as he gulped hard, regaining the lost energy by talking this much. "N-Nothing is y-your fault. D-Don't blame yourself. Please." He entreats me to not think anything stupid but I can't help it.

All of a sudden Jimin let out a high-pitched cry of pain, more like a wail when I heard a loud smack coming from my left side. My inner soul feels sucked out from my body like being shot by a gun.

What just happened right now?

Everything in this place goes more silent for seconds. My body hardened at this, it becomes stiff than ever.  Jimin groaned at something suddenly, his voice comes out muffled. Vocals of mine seem so unbudgeable. Not a single word is coming out of my lips. He hissed at something again. Now, this time I could not able to stop myself.

"J-Jimin-ah" I breathe a word out in almost hesitation. "Jimin-ah!!" I called for him again trying to figure out what just happened.

Is something happening to Jimin? Why is he not answering me? He is conscious, right?
Oh my, go—

Straight away I heard an inaudible and dull footstep right next to me in my left direction. My eyes snapped in that direction as I gulped aloud and felt like my senses highlight all of a sudden. My hearing power gradually boosted in seconds but this body seems so shaky.

There's someone here?

Near me...

My unstable breath rose when I feel a hand near the lower region of my shoulder and it appears like going to reach for me. I shrieked back immediately when the large hand groped my neck harshly making me hard to breathe. My rigid body suddenly moves due to this action making me cry in pain and agony.

It hurts like hell.

As time passed which is just some seconds, the firm grip tightens around my neck making me breathless. Tears started escaping from my closed eyes moistening the blindfold. Anxiety started bubbling inside me, it's like something is stuck inside my throat which is very hard to swallow.

My throat aches in discomfort and the air gets cut off from the body making me dizzy. All senses deliberately began to shut down and I couldn't able to hear anything. My head feels light-headed looks like the body is now going to give up finally after all these struggles.

The burning sensation gradually increasing and that gives me a little taste of death it's way too beautiful yet terrifying.

And then everything stops abruptly. I opened my mouth with a choked cough, a long wheeze left my lips, giving all the oxygen back to my body.

"—on't do this!! S-She wouldn't able to m-make it if you don't s-stop. I beg you PLEASE STOP!!!
I—" Now I heard Jimin screaming like crazy. He is begging that person. After that, he intakes a sharp breath from his lips as if he realized that I am free from the tight grip.

My hearing sensations increased when my body relaxed after the long crying and gasping session. I realized Jimin is sobbing, his voice is so harsh to the point that it pounds into my skull.

"Sun-ah!! Sun-ahh..!! You—"

A giggle sound clashes into my eardrums. 

Then a full-hearted evil laugh.

That person...

That unknown person.
