Taehyung keeps small steps as he walks through the narrow alleyway. He has been walking for an hour and the fucking road just doesn't end. The streetlights flickering and only a minor part of the road is lit with the dustbins thrown all over.

Tae jolts when he hears a cat's meow in the deafening silence that echos eight octaves high giving the entire alley a creepy vibe. He gulps to keep another step ahead. His guts told him to turn and run back home.

But his heart stops him.

A faint image of Jimin in his cute little sweater vest holding his books tight to chest brushes before his eyes.

Tae furrows his eyes in determination and grips the address note tight and starts walking again. His nerves were sending shivers down to his feet, as he keeps going deeper into the alley.

Why does it feel like a trap?

Tae snaps out of his thoughts as he stands in front of a large building. An abandoned building with yellow tapes of 'Do Not Enter' and locks over the main door.

A fake address! Why would Jimin do that?

By the looks of it, the building is a supposed bank that went bankrupt long back and is now sealed down by the government.

Tae exhales in disappointment and turns to return and decides to meet Jimin directly on Friday, but stops in his tracks as screams echo from the back of the wall. Tae gulps and turns in the direction of the sounds.

He is a curious kid. And his brain loves to explore even the minor details that happen around him.

And this was just a speck of his interest.

Tae keeps muffled steps, stabilizing his girth to make sure he makes absolutely zero sounds.

He approaches the dead-end where no cameras were present. The exact location where he heard those loud shrieks. He peeks his eyes to look at the scene unfold.

It was dark but the flickering lights did let him visualise the view occurring just a few feet away from him. A bundle of books spread over the ground, with a small male slammed against the wall and a pair of hands almost choking him to death.

Keyword: Almost.

Tae's eyes widen in fear, his hands covering his mouth tight shut. If you think, Taehyung is one of the Wattpad heroes that will pounce on the villain like a hero and save the kid. The answer is no.

A big fat no!

Tae's heart dropped to knees as sees the man that cornered the young male. His legs try to walk back with his hands still over his lips and sweat bubbling over his forehead.

He didn't want to die. At least not today.

He has a dickhead brother waiting for him at home. He needs to leave. Right now!

Clutter clutter!

"Fuck!" Taehyung curses under his breath as his feet accidentally steps on a twig.

The man instantly stops and turn to face Tae who stood there like a shrieked puppy and rushes towards the new guy in the alley and grips him by his collar.

Jimin's sweater rips as he falls while rubbing against the wall. He exhales with relief and quickly scrambles his notes into the bag and decides to run away-

"Please let me go!" Tae whines from far when the man lifts the boy by his collar.

Jimin instantly stops in his tracks as he hears the familiar voice.

Taehyung!

Jimin isn't a person that would stop for a dying man on the roads. Because he knows very well, no one would do that for him. But it was Taehyung of all people. The least expected person to pass by this alleyway out of fun.

Unless he came in search of Jimin.

Jimin's mind was clouding with a tremendous amount of consequences he would have to face after this day.

Taehyung would probably see the worst part of him today. He taps his feet to fix his shoes tight and jerks his hand to slide down the 'cutter' of his sleeve to his hand.

He swiftly turns around gripping the cutter in his hand and sliding the side to pull out the sharp blade.

His heart thumps hard against his chest. But that doesn't stop him, he rushes towards the man that held 'his' Taehyung.

His target.

Once he was close enough to them, he scoots down and raises his hand only to bring it back with full force to slice the man's leg.

A slash deep enough to cut his pants along with his flesh and blood spurt over Jimin's rimmed glasses.

The man groans in pain and instantly lets go of Tae.

Jimin instantly jumps over the scooted man that falls hard on the floor holding his wounded leg.

Jimin grabs Tae's hand harshly and almost pulls him by force to start running.

Tae's heart is hammering against his chest. He keeps screaming incomprehensible words as he begins to run. The tears dimmed his vision, and his paralyzed hands weren't helping in any way.

His genius head was thrown into the trash and the only sane thing he could is run.

Run! As if his life depends on it.

Jimin was surprised to see Tae break free from his clutches and run ahead of him. Well, not exactly as the boy didn't know where he was sprinting to.

Tae's trembling hands and legs pushed everything that came in the way and keeps heading forwards like a wild horse.

Tae screams are muffled by a hand pressed against his mouth and pulled somewhere in the corner of a dead-end.

He tries to resist and kick back but stops once he hears a familiar voice.

"Keep quiet or you might end up getting us both killed!" Jimin almost whisper-shouts as he corners the boy towards the dark cemented wall and covers both of them with his black hoodie.

Footsteps!

They keep tackling their way. It feels as if they were dragging their feet to walk. Jimin catches on to it way too quick. He realises that it's the same man whose leg he sliced a few minutes ago. He snuggles closer to Tae's chest with his hand still over the other's lips.

A pair of hearts drumming in their way. None spoke! But their beating hearts echoed in their ears.

Jimin's breath gets caught in his throat as he can't hear the footsteps anymore.

"Just consider yourself lucky, White! I will make you pay for this!" A roar was heard before the footsteps disappeared into thin air.

Jimin sighs in relief and lets go of Tae who instantly drops to the ground and covers himself with his knees and lets soft muffles out of his lips.

"Who are you?" Tae musters the courage to ask between his sobs.

Your death!
