episode 3
park jimin
(thinking): Is he going to kill him? Is he a thief? A murderer? I have to do something… No, wait. I have to do nothing. Just walk home. Pretend you saw nothing.
park jimin
(thinking): But if he’s dead tomorrow? Then it’s my fault… Why can’t I just ignore the world like everyone else? Why only me…?
Jimin frowns, then suddenly runs across the street.
park jimin
Excuse me, Sir?”
(no answer)
park jimin
(thinking): Wow… he’s deep in thought. No wonder he didn’t notice he’s being followed.
Jimin lightly taps the stranger’s shoulder.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(snaps around, glaring, deadly silent)
park jimin
(jumps back, flustered) “Excuse m—uh…”
park jimin
(thinking): Crap. He looks terrifying. What do I even say?!
park jimin
(blurts) “C-can you tell me the time, please?”
park jimin
(thinking): Wow. Really? The time?? Am I stupid??
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(narrowed eyes, glances at his watch, suspicious)
park jimin
(leans closer, whispering) “I’m sorry, sir, but… I think you’re being followed. I’m pretty sure I saw a big knife. Hidden, left side of the back.”
Jimin flicks his eyes toward the stalker. Jungkook follows his subtle signal
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(dark voice) “Of course… but only if you could help me, too.”
park jimin
(thinking): God, his voice… why is it so dark it gave me goosebumps?
park jimin
(nervously) “Help you?”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
“Show me the way to the underground. I’m a bit lost.”
park jimin
(quickly nods) “Of course, sir.”
They start walking side by side. Jimin feels a deadly stare burning into his back. Just a minute later, when he dares glance behind him—
park jimin
(thinking, wide-eyed): He’s gone… disappeared into thin air.
park jimin
(sighs in relief) “That was very nice of you.”
The taller man just stared, clearly waiting for something.
park jimin
Ah—Jimin. Park Jimin. I’m just happy we’re both safe!
” (gives a small smile)
park jimin
But you… shouldn’t wander around here at this hour.
Especially not in clothes like that.”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(Raises an eyebrow, amused)
park jimin
(panics) “N-no! I didn’t mean they’re bad! Just… they look expensive. Flashy. People around here—they’ll notice. And not in a good way!”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(dark chuckle) “Mafia territory, hm?”
park jimin
(nervous ramble) “Exactly! What if someone kidnaps you? Ransom, billions of won! It happens in dramas all the time, I swear—”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(suddenly laughs, a real one this time)
park jimin
(blinking) “W-what’s so funny?”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(still smirking) “It’s nothing. You’re just… such a pure soul.”
Jimin flushed, lowering his gaze in embarrassment.
park jimin
(thinking, panicked): OH DUCK! 10: 20?! My father is going to kill me!
His whole posture stiffened, panic flashing across his face.
park jimin
(bows quickly) “I-I’m sorry, sir! I have to leave. Please get home
Without waiting for a reply, he ran past him.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(calls after softly) “Jimin?”
park jimin
But the boy didn’t turn back.
