Chapter 5: Jimin

Jimin~ POV
-----------------------------------------------------------


   I finished grading my last class's quizzes. I cringed at some of their answers, but it was over now. I had stayed back at the school to also prepare for the next day. I would have gone home sooner but I took a small nap after school.


  I really shouldn't take naps, but the kids in this school district were tiring. And the last time I took a nap when those kids were around, I was "pranked". Poof, my hair was redder than ripe strawberries. This is why I took the naps after school.


   I could never rest during school time. My boss, the principal, was always yapping at me while he flirts with the female teachers. Sometimes this school could be truly appalling. Yet, I stayed for the sake of surviving this world and not to end up in poverty. It was the only opportunity I had since I was very young and had less experience. It's too early for me to quit now and I don't have anyone to depend on.


   I looked out the window and the sky was no longer a hazy orange -pink purple, it was all fading into a dark blue.


   It was gorgeous. It simply was.


   Although, typically I would see the "same" sky everyday from my empty classroom, I just loved knowing that it would be there. It was a weird feeling, but it was a comforting feeling.


   Even though the sky was dark, I didn't want to walk during the night when it was pitch black. I shouldn't go home in the evening, especially in the city time, but I can't help staying late at the school. It was just a habit and I knew the risks too.


   I cleaned up my area and gathered my belongings in my suit case. I didn't want to carry a suit case but it was a gift from a relative and I couldn't afford anything else. In addition, the suit case had convenient pockets for my ID, wallet, and etc.


   I wore my light bomber jacket and a heavy scarf and exited the building. The night air was chill and it was easy to breathe in. The traffic and street lights guided my way home as I walked the usual path.


   I would pass by the same buildings and the same stores. The same shoe shop and the same bread bakery. And the same hotel and the same bar. It was just reassuring.


   I waited at the intersection for the light to change. Then abruptly, my one arm was violently jerked. I lost my balance and I accidentally let go of my suitcase.


   Ahhh!


   I heard the suitcase drop before I did. I did not see who had pulled and pushed me, but I did see the person who I was pushed into.


   He was a police officer, most likely the same age as me. Early twenties, I guess? I fell on top of him and tried to roll away from him as he pushed me. He jumped right up and glanced everywhere. I heard him curse as he kept staring onto the street intersection.


   Somehow, my glasses were able to stay put on my nose. I sigh from the sudden fall. I was lucky that the officer broke my fall. I did feel guilty for bumping into him. It looked like he was angry though.


   Did I interrupt something?


   I think I did.


   I panicked when I realized that my suitcase was nowhere to be found.


   No!


   Did someone take it!?


   I scrambled around on the sidewalk, looking for the missing bag. This was frustrating.


   Had the person who grabbed onto my arm, stole it?


   Oh my god. No.


   I sat there on the ground, realizing that I have lost some of my personal items.


   "Officer Jungkook"


  I looked up to see that a person in grey was talking to the officer "Jungkook".


   "Oh, Detective V," Jungkook answered coolly.


   "I heard your call, sorry I didn't answer, but I did call for units. They should be looking within a mile or two from here for Bunny." V stated.


    Were they partners, Officer Jungkook and Detective V?


  Wait Bunny!? He's part of that Paper Gang I have been seeing on news lately.


    Were they after Bunny just right now?


   "Thanks," Jungkook replied as he wiped his forehead and put on a small smile.


   "I should tell you that there has been another victim near the Bangtan Hotel. Apparently it was reported that he was 'knocked out just now.'"  V told.


   "Hmmm, Bunny could have done it. I'll check it out," Jungkook said as he scratched his head.


   The whole conversation happened as I still sat on the ground. I was stunned.


   I interrupted a foot chase?


   Nonetheless my suitcase has to be stolen.


   "Sir"


   I looked up to see that the officer was calling me.


   "Are you alright?" The concerned detective questioned.


   "Yeah, but my stuff is gone!" I answered V.


   My stuff is gone.
