< CAMPING GROUND >
"Have you seen Jimoon? Cause have been calling but he won't pick" Taehyung said as he found Lisa alone in the tent.
"He went to eat at the cafeteria, you might still find him there cause he said he's going to take his time" Lisa replied.
"Thanks then" Taehyung said as he made his way to the cafeteria in search of Jimin but there was no sign of him there too.
He went about asking the students who were around the area but none had seen him.
He didn't know why but some how he felt worried not knowing where he is and until he finds him, he will be at rest then.
He was about heading out to the field when a girl approached.
"I over heard you asking for Jimoon whereabouts" she said slowly.
"Do you know where he is?" Taehyung asked.
"Not really but I saw him walking off with some men and they were headed into the forest " the girl informed.
On hearing the last part Taehyung knew some thing was wrong and immediately he took his heels.
*****
Jimin open his eyes only to see two men digging up the ground.
"Are they perhaps digging up the hole for him?" He thought inwardly.
He can't die like this, he can't die so young when he still has a long life ahead of him, he thought as he began loosening the rope they had tied on his leg.
Luckily for him, they were busy digging up the grave that they didn't notice him but when he stood up to run away, they did notice him.
Jimin took to his heels while they followed suit, if he hadn't trip he would have got away from them.
They got to him and pulled him up by the arm while he struggled to be released.
"Let go of me! Let me go!" He screamed kicking them but it didn't seem to work.
"Let's get him to the hole and bury him on time before some one comes for him" one of the men said and that got him screaming louder.
"Shut up!" One of them said slapping him on the face and though it made him see stars when it was still mid day, he kept screaming.
"You go in with him while I start burying with the sand" the second man said.
"Please don't this! Don't kill me" Jimin pleaded when he saw that there was nothing he could do.
"Sorry dearest but we've been ordered to kill you. You shouldn't have gotten on their bad side, you should have stayed away but instead you chose to return after they thought you dead. You are really going to die this time around" the first man said to him harshly.
Jimin was being pushed into the hole by the second man when he heard his name being called a distant away.
"Who the hell is that?" The first man asked and seizing this as his chance, Jimin began to scream in reply only to receive another slap which got him shutting up.
"This can't do, We've got to leave" the second guy said turning to leave but he held onto his hand.
" We can't leave with out doing what the boss ask. There a cliff over there, let's just throw him off the cliff" the first guy said while Jimin tried to pull out of their hold.
"Let go of me! Let me go!" He screamed but they were pulling him towards the cliff edge already.
A distance away he saw Taehyung running towards them and no one could understand the joy he felt at seeing him but before he got to them, the two guys pushed him off the cliff.
While falling he manage to hold onto the edge.
"Damn! Why won't you just fall off already!" The second man said stepping on his hand.
Jimin let out a painful scream while his hand gave way, he let go of the edge thinking he was going to die but instead his hand was caught.
"Don't let go" Taehyung said holding onto him hand tightly.
By now the men were already running off due to not wanting to be exposed.
"I can't Taehyung" Jimin said feeling his hand slip out of his.
"Don't you dare let go of my hand, if you do am going to kill you myself" He yelled at him while he tightened his hold on his hand.
"Just hold onto me and I will get you up" he added trying to assure him and Jimin nodded.
Due to him being a light weight, he manage to pull him out of danger and when he was safely on ground, he hugged Jimin to himself while Jimin held him back, crying In his arms.
"You are safe now, you are safe my love" he murmured and that was the last thing he heard before darkness engulf him.
*****
Jimin woke up only to find himself in an unfamiliar room.
Where's he? He thought as he tried sitting up when he wince at the pain he felt on his cheeks.
'" How are you?" Taehyung voice drifted towards him and he look beside him to see Taehyung standing by the door way.
"A bit bruise but am okay. What happen?" He asked.
"Nothing much. Every one are on their way back to their respective home and....."
"What! Did what happen earlier caused that?" He asked.
"It did. Every one got scared and to protect the other students, the teachers took them home and also Jimoon's mom was here a while ago. She left due to some important work she left undone but she promised to return and also I sent your friends back home a while ago"
"They were all worried and insisted on staying with you but when I assured them that I will be with you, they left " he added moving towards him.
"Taehyung I....." He stop talking when he push him back on the bed.
"The doctor said you should get some rest " Taehyung said cutting him off.
He put his hand on his forehead checking his temperature. What he did was only a simple gesture but it made Jimin notice his presence, it made his insides feel strange making him giddy all over.
"Am okay now" he said pushing his hand away.
"You were almost killed and you were scared. So it's all right to be sick" Taehyung told him caressing his head and that was how Carmen found them when she arrived.
"I came as soon as I finished my work" Carmen said moving towards Jimin.
"How are you?"
"Better" Jimin replied sending her a smile while Carmen tuck back a strand of his hair.
"This is all my fault. I didn't think that the guys who had killed Jimoon will come back to hurt you. It's all my fault, I should have found a way to protect you" Carmen said.
"And in what way do you plan to protect him when you keep decieving him?" Taehyung asked from behind and that got the duo staring at him.
"What do you mean?" Carmen asked.
"We know the truth. Jimoon isn't dead" Taehyung said In a straight forward manner which got Carmen looking shock.
"Wh....at....what .....nonsense are you ...spewing?" She said starring at Taehyung and then at Jimoon.
"It isn't nonsense, the truth is that you lied to Jimin, you made him believe that Jimoon is dead when he isn't" Taehyung said again.
"That's impossible, Jimoon is....."
"Explain this if Jimoon is really dead like you claim" he said giving her his phone.
"This shows that Jimoon called me just some few weeks ago, that was how I know that Jimin is not the real Jimoon. If you want us to help you in this task then you've got to be honest with us and that is by telling us what really happen to Jimoon" Taehyung demanded.
Carmen let out a slow sigh before she began to confess.
"Jimoon didn't die like I claimed but he was indeed attacked. It led him to be in a hospital for weeks. When he finally woke up, it was to be told that he could remember nothing and since I kept calling, one of the nurses picked up informing me of his whereabout"
"When I got to the hospital where he was admitted, Jimoon didn't even recognize me and so to keep him safe, I kept his whereabout hidden and when Jimin showed up, I decided to lie because I didn't want to put Jimoon in danger again"
"So it's been confirmed, Jimoon is indeed alive" Taehyung said.
"Yes. He is and am sorry for keeping it hidden, I just didn't want him to be exposed to danger. Take what happen to Jimin for example, if we don't find the culprit then Jimoon will keep on being exposed to danger" Carmen said.
"So must Jimin be put in danger too?" Taehyung asked defending Jimin.
"Am not saying that, what I meant is that.....",
"Is that you care more for Jimoon that you wouldn't care if some one else gets hurt" he said cutting her off.
"I wouldn't want Jimin getting hurt In all of this" Carmen replied getting angry by his insinuation.
"Then why not just bring Jimoon back and get Jimin out of this mess" He suggested.
"Not that! You need to understand that Jimoon isn't prepared to be out side. He has amnesia, he doesn't remember who attacked him neither does he remember anyone, I can't bring him out here where the wolves will make use of his illness and strike" Carmen said looking very worried.
"She's right Taehyung. We can't bring Jimoon back when he's ill" Jimin said hoping he wouldn't force the issue.
"So it's best for you to be in danger right?" Taehyung asked.
"I can take care of my self, I know the score but Jimoon doesn't. So let me keep on being Jimoon until we catch this culprit, please Taehyung" He said hoping he would listen to him and he did.
"Fine then. Let's keep up with this until we find the culprit but if Jimin gets in danger again. I will have to call this off" Taehyung said as Carmen nodded In relief.
He got a text and when he read the content in it, his expression changed.
"Have got to go" he said moving towards his bed pat his on the head.
"Take care until we see again and make sure to protect yourself whenever am not around. Don't get in danger, okay" he said which got him nodding and blushing in return.
"I will" he replied smiling up at him and reluctantly he left the room.
Carmen who had stood watching the whole scene between the two went towards Jimin as soon as Taehyung left the room.
"Am sorry my child, I didn't mean to lie to you" she said apologizing.
"It's okay Carmen. You did it out of fright and I understand, so you don't have to apologize" Jimin said in return which got Carmen smiling in relief.
"And also I noticed some thing between you and Taehyung earlier, are you perhaps dating him?" Carmen asked.
"Dating? Of course not! We are just friends" he replied hoping Carmen hadn't notice the sweet look he kept giving Taehyung.
"I hope it keeps on being that way" Carmen said suddenly which got Jimin wondering why he said something like that.
"You are here to help me find Jimoon's attacker and nothing else. Please, don't be distracted by your heart or any other thing" Carmen said taking hold of his hand while reminding him of the real reason why he's here.
"Please, Jimin. Don't be swayed by your feelings and help me achieve my goal. Jimoon safety relies on you " Carmen added while Jimin nodded in return.
"I will keep that in mind Carmen, you don't have to worry" Jimin replied and immediately Carmen pulled him into a hug.
"Thank you Jimin, thanks for all your help" she said holding onto Jimin while Jimin wondered how he will get rid of his feelings for Taehyung cause there's no doubt that he feels some thing for him which will only be a distraction for him and a burden to Taehyung since he is in love with some one else.

<15 HOURS LATER ~ KARAOKE BAR >
"Let me go Taehyung, you are hurting me" Jimin said trying to pull his hand out of his but he didn't let go until they got to the back of a room.
"Now tell me why you've been ignoring me" he demanded.
"I told you that am not....."
"You are! '" he yelled looking furious.
"You are and it's bothering me, so just tell me what I did wrong and I will try to make amends" he added more slowly this time around.
"You have nothing to make amends for, it's me who is the problem here" he said truthfully.
"Care to elaborate on that"
"I can't....I came here solely to help find the perpetrator who is after Jimoon's life and not to be entangled in a relationship whatsoever but here I....here I am falling for....." He stopped when he realized what he was going to say.
"Finish what you were saying" Taehyung pressed but he ignored saying some thing else.
"The fact is that I can't get involved with any one and falling in love should be the last thing I think about. Am an imposter after all and I....."
"Who are you in love with?" Taehyung demanded holding his by the arm.
"Am not in love with....."
"Tell me the truth, i know when you are lying and when you say the truth and right now, you are lying to me" he said cutting him off again.
"Taehyung I....I....I" he didn't get to finish his word when Taehyung claim his lips.
They kissed on for a while and when Taehyung let go to stare at his face, he got the answer he wanted.
"It's me right, am the one you love?" He asked and when he said nothing, he kissed him again.
"I love you too, I love you so damn much that am going crazy" he admitted and once again he claimed his lips.....
To be continued ✌️✌️✌️
