## **Role in Season 2**

### ***Lie***

His body felt broken and battered. The adrenaline was wearing off finally and the pain that wracked his bones was beginning to seep into the young man's soul. He understands now; these hallucinations were his ongoing guilt manifesting; now it's gone because he stopped being cold and ruthless toward people and began trying to help and save once again. Jimin's eyes shot up as someone's hands gripped his shoulders, shaking him violently. On instinct, Jimin's deadly arms flung up, pushing away the intruder's grip. Next, his deathly hands took hold on the intruder's neck, squeezing the air into a narrowing passage, before closing the passage completely, cutting off the enemy's air supply. Suddenly, Jimin's eyes focused on the one he was slowly choking. His eyes focused in on the pale face of his friend, clawing desperately at Jimin's arms. Suga had been slammed against the wall and was now fighting with everything in him to break free of Jimin's unbreakable grip. Immediately, tears flooded Jimin's eyes and his hands released the hold on his friend's neck. Deep gasps filled the deafening silence. Suga's hands fiercely rubbed the now blood-red skin of his neck, trying desperately to gain all oxygen back into his lungs. Both young men met in a gaze full of fear and pity, guilt and pain. "Jimin." Suga's voice was raspy and hoarse, still huffing for breath. Suga rose up to walk towards the slim brunette, trying, but to no avail, to prevent Jimin from fleeing the scene in shame. Jimin's face was now covered in silent tears, his chest filling in with oxygen as the reality of the situation began to set in. "Don't..." Jimin began in rebuttal to his best friend, emotion choking the words from his mouth. "Don't come near me." Jimin seethed. With one more, painfully saddened look, Jimin's eyes filled with more tears at the sight of his broken friend. "I'm *so* sorry." Jimin cried.

**REST IS TBA**

Jimin was across town, staring at the pile of dirt. He had offered to go to therapy so that his parents wouldn't have to worry of their now distraught son. He was just building up the courage to go back to the place he now dreaded. Walking away from the grave site, Jimin headed towards his car. Sliding inside, he cranked the engine before slowly pulling away. His mind was all over the place as he started driving. Not paying attention, he let his feet drive him to where. Groaning, he realized he was in the same place he was just days before. Cutting the engine, he looked upward before shaking his head. “Why do I keep coming back here, Tadashi? This is the place where you died; it's also the place where your heart lies.” Jimin muttered to himself. Cutting the engine, he got out of his car. His feet felt like bricks as he walked up the steps to the old apartment. He turned the doorknob and walked in, knowing that the elderly landlord was already home. He walked in and slowly closed the door behind him. He dropped his keys at the table next to the door and pulled off his coat. He hung it up in the closet and made his way for the hallway. "Mr. Kim?" he called out. All he wanted was to lay in bed and sleep. That was the only cure for a day like today. The bedroom door was open and he walked right in. **REST IS TBA.**
