"I feel like we're in group therapy or something. How long do we have to hold hands? Where are Taehyung and Jimin?" Yoongi asked impatiently.

"It must have been 30 minutes already. Did he kill him or something?" Hoseok wondered

"Don't say things like that, he said they would both come back-" you yelled at him but something stopped you.

It was like you had a stroke. Your head hurt for two seconds like hell, it almost brought you tears, and you threw yourself away from the circle, afraid of what was happening to you.

It was over so quickly and when you looked at the guys,  you knew the same thing had happened to them as well. Before asking what was that and why did it occur to all of you, a wave of memories replayed themselves to your head.

.

.

.

"Aren't you too old for a diary?" a voice asked and you realized the boy who was playing before was now standing in front of you with a smile.

You quickly hid the diary behind your back, even though he had already seen it.

They boy was extremely handsome. His dark eyes were locked in yours. You didn't answer his question.

"Wanna play with me? My friends are gonna be late, and I guess your friends won't come in a while too." he said, throwing the ball at you.

So he also remembered you from the other times you were coming with Lisa and Rose. You put the diary in your backpack and took the ball in your hands.

Right now, playing with a random stranger didn't seem like a bad idea at all. You needed to have fun.

"I'm not good at basketball" you told him and he shrugged

"It's okay. I can show you the basics" he said and offered you his hand to help you stand up.

You stood up on your own. The last thing you needed right now was to depend on someone even for the slightest thing.

"My name is Jimin by the way"

.

.

.

"Also, passing by but not coming in or saying at least hi?" he complained and you shrugged

"Didn't know you want my hi"

"Who wouldn't want a hi? Now pay for your sins and come play with us"

You thought it was cute how Jimin seemed to try to find even a stupid reason for you to play with them. 

.

.

.

You hadn't realized you'd reached the basketball field. Jimin, sweating from his game, was now looking at you in the eyes, so concerned. If you were calm, that concern would have actually melt your heart, but now you were just angry and depressed. You hated everyone and wanted to stay alone.

"Leave me alone" you told him and he wouldn't let go of your hand.

Hoseok was also there and he was looking at the two of you worried.

"What's wrong? You're crying" he said

"Leave me alone, I wanna go home, let me go" You begged

"But you're not okay, you're crying, talk to me..."

You pushed him away with all your strength. He finally let your hand and you yelled at him before running away.

"YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME! Just because we played a few times, it doesn't mean you know anything or that I have to open up to you, Jimin!"

He didn't follow you, and didn't try to talk again. You kept running.

.

.

.

"Jimin wants to know why you don't come by anymore" Jin said

That felt very weird. The last time you talked with Jimin he was very annoying and you were very harsh with your words. You didn't expect he would actually care whether you'd come again or not.

"Jimin? Who is Jimin?" Yoongi asked

"A friend. Y/N played basketball with us sometimes" Jin explained.

"Exactly, I just played basketball, so I see no reason for him to care so much " You said

"If you don't go again, he promised he'll come here and wait for you right outside our school's gate. I'm sorry, he's really determined."

Your eyes were wide open. What was wrong with that guy?

.

.

.

"Jin, one last thing... did you tell Jimin about..." you didn't finish your sentence but he knew.

"Your rumors? Yeah I did. Don't worry, whether it's you or not, he doesn't really care"

.

.

.

"You said something true though. I don't know you. But I would like to know you" He said

You had forgotten about everything else. That you were in the middle of a game. That you had other people around. That you existed.

You felt your cheeks burn.

"We will... since our friends seem to like each other... we will probably see each other more..." you said and left as quick as possible, apologizing to the guys for not being concentrated.

Jimin, besides you, was smiling to the sky.

.

.

.

Jimin stared at your feet, which made you kind of uncomfortable, until he approached you and at he same time, he moved his coat down from the shoulders, exposing them in the cold, so that the coat would almost touch the ground. After that he hugged you and closed his arms around you so that his coat would protect your feet. For some seconds you were too dumbfounded by his action to talk, but you admitted to yourself that you enjoyed the warmth his body was offering you. Your head was at the height of his chest and you were trying not to get too carried away and bury yourself in there.

You weren't really hugging your friends. Maybe it happed with Yoongi or Namjoon sometimes, or used to happen with Lisa, but it never felt like this, and never this long.

"Nice skirt" he said and paused "Are you warm?" he asked innocently.

Was this weird feeling in your heart perceived only by you?

"Thanks... and yes. Warm"

"I can hear your heart beating. About to have a heart attack?" He joked and his laughter melted you "Do I make you uncomfortable?"

"It's not that... or maybe it is... it's just that we never really hug each other... you know, with the guys"

"True enough. But do you like it?"

You gulped. What was he trying to do?

"It's nice"

He smiled and caressed your back with his hands, looking into your eyes. There was a spark in there, he was examining you like you were the most precious creature ever.

"Then let's hug more from now. I've always thought you look like... a person that needs to get hugged more"

.

.

.

You tried to push him but you were so dizzy you couldn't even control your strength. You were too week and got scared and shouted the name of the first person that came to your mind.

"JIMIN-"

But his hand closed your mouth and you thought that even if you were sober you wouldn't be strong enough to push him. He leaned to your ear and his disgusting voice pronounced the words that brought you back to reality.

"You're begging inside of you for us to believe that it's not your picture, and the way you moved with me tonight really got me curious. I would really love to see that body by myself and decide whether to believe you or not..."

The picture.

He knew about the fucking picture.

He kissed your neck and you tried to scream but you couldn't. Your tears were making your vision blur. You didn't know this guy, you were sure he wasn't from your school.

How far could this rumor possibly gotten?

"It's pretty annoying having all these men around you all the time, especially that freak Yoongi, but look at you now, in my hands, alone..."

His hand was about to slip under your skirt when a shadow entered the room and grabbed the boy from behind and pulled him away from you. You fell to the ground and did your best to manage to see clearly what was happening.

Jimin had grabbed the guy and punched him hard in the face. 

.

.

.

Jimin seemed more relieved now that he had told what was bothering him "I feel better now" he said and smiled

"You're right" you said "I'll do my best not to treat you or anyone unfairly because of my personal problems. And thank you for pointing that out. And for helping me... So... are we okay now?"

Instead of answering, he came closer and pulled you into his warm embrace "Hug again?" you joked and he laughed

"Told you we must do it more from now on"

You wondered why the first name that came to your mind when you were in danger was his.

.

.

.

In the end, he gave you a pill to reduce your heartbeats and stress. It calmed you down a while ago and you were about to sleep. Jimin still had you in his arm, stroking your cheek and kissing your forehead. Just by being there, you were feeling that even in this situation, there was hope.

"Sleep, love" he whispered to you "No one's gonna hurt you. I'm here. I love you so much. They're gonna pay for what they did" he took a deep breath "Sleep now, love, I'm not gonna leave you"

.

.

.

Suddenly a hand pulled you behind, and Jimin's figure appeared in front of you. He placed his body in front of you and now you were looking at his back, as if he wanted to protect you.

"Get the outta here" he told Jungkook, who laughed at the sight of his older friend

"Did I just see right? You came out of... her house?? This early? Did you sleep here?"

"It's not what you think it is..." you hurried to say but Jimin told you to stop and that you didn't have to explain

"That's the finale, I guess" Jungkook said, sighing "Sleeping with my friend. I always knew you liked her, Jimin, I always did, that's why I was always cautious with you, but it looks like I wasn't enough. How long have you been doing things behind my back? Did you make a video too, by any chance?"

Jimin didn't hold back and attacked the other boy, punching him hard in the face, so hard that he threw him to the ground. Jungkook yelled at him but Jimin punched him again, making the boy's nose bleed.

"I said, get outta here and leave her alone. You don't deserve her"

.

.

.

"Am I the only one feeling that... connection with you?" he asked

"No, Jimin. I'm feeling it too"

.

.

.

"Are you mine?" he asked as he his lips got closer to yours.

"I'm yours"

.

.

.

You placed your head on Jimin's shoulder, but he took you in his arms and embraced you. He was warm, like always, and you smiled at that, smiled that until the end, it was the same.

"I love you" were the last words that were heard.

His words to your ear.

.

.

.

 "What the actual fuck-" Jungkook was the first one who talked.

Everyone looked at each other as if you wanted to confirm whether your memories were the same or not, wanted to confirm that you weren't crazy.

"Guys, I remembered what happened last before coming here, and I think I'm going crazy" he continued

"Same, Kookie, same, but I can't help but wonder, who the fuck is Kim Taehyung and why was he in my head the whole time? How the fuck did I know him? It doesn't make sense!" Namjoon yelled

"Where are we... what is this place? Is this afterlife? Why does it look like this?"

"Something between life and death" you heard a voice coming from the door, and you saw Jimin walking inside.

Taehyung was standing behind him but he wasn't talking. He was just watching all of you.

"Jimin, man, are you okay? What did he do to you?" Hoseok asked

"I'm fine" he came closer to you and embraced but you were kind of reluctant "If you don't know what to trust, trust the feeling that couldn't keep us apart even when we thought we had almost never talked"

He knew about these confusing memories. Tears made your vision blur as you hugged the boy you loved so much. You hugged him and kissed, and this time you weren't only feeling it, but you knew it was right. That smile was always by your side, no matter what. But those eyes you adored, why did they seem so sad now?

"What happened? Who is this guy and why did we all think we knew him or something?" Jin asked and Jimin smiled at him

"He's not a bad guy. He saved us. He saved our eternity"

"Yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about" Yoongi stated

"The game is over. We don't have to kill each other anymore. We don't have to suffer like this" he looked at everyone with a grin "The reason of the road trip is finally here, an afterlife better than our lives. It's time to go"

"Why are you talking like that? Why isn't he saying anything? Why the hurry and why don't you explain anything to us?" Hoseok yelled

"If I talk more, if I explain more and we stay here more I can't trust me, I can't trust that my decision will stay the same, cause I love all of you fools so much. So fucking much. We lived so many great moments together, you are my brothers, and you" he turned to you "you are my soulmate, since the first moment I laid my eyes on you at that basketball field"

The two of you had that connection, and that connection was now telling you that he sounded like he was saying goodbye.

"I won't explain, cause non of this matters anymore. After leaving this place, everything that happened here will be forgotten. So let's go"

"Jimin" you said and cupped his cheeks, forcing him to face you "Do you promise I'll see you after this, right?"

"Yeah" he said confidently "I promise you'll see me. I love you."

"I love you too" you told him, words you never told him while being alive, and he locked your lips with his.

After breaking the kiss, you looked at Taehyung who was standing behind, watching you with frustrated eyes. Why wasn't he talking? Who was he? Why was he acting like Jimin before? Without making a sound, you saw him moving his mouth and you red his lips. "I'm sorry". Sorry for what?

You had so many question but before you could talk, Jimin turned your back to you and walked towards Taehyung. He stood besides him, behind the door that was now slowly closing, separating you and the two of them.

"Jimin... where are you going?" you asked while walking slowly towards them

"Don't worry" he smiled at you as he was disappearing behind the door "I promised you will see me again"

While the last inch of space between the doors was disappearing, you would swear you saw a tear falling from his eye.

---

"How is hell?" Jimin dared to ask after the doors were closed and he was alone with Taehyung.

"I already told you heaven is the place where you relive the best memories of your life. Hell is the opposite"

"So the worst memories" Jimin found and wiped his tears with the back of his hand "Let's go"

"Let's go"

"And Taehyung?"

"What?"

"Thank you for saving them"

---

A/N: *killed literally everyone*
