Even death can't keep you away from my reach

I was strongly against it but as soon as Jimin found out that I was invited into a gathering of students from my department, he insisted I go.

Complaining that I was too stiff and I had to open up to new peoples he suggested me to start enjoying my life.

Constant text from Charlotte and Jungkook didn't help me either because by the end of the day I was in front of a restaurant in a dark-blue dress with a shirred Trims chiffon blouse chosen by Jimin.

"I am so glad you came" Charlotte, pulled me into a room which seemed like a private place booked for our gathering.

It had already been a month since the new semester started and I had avoided all meetup and gathering till now but this was organized by Charlotte and Jungkook's batch so I couldn't say them no.

Maybe this would help me divert my mind from the creepy sensation of being watched 24 hours.

"Omo, I never noticed you were so pretty" some of my senior boldly complimented demanding me to take my seat beside them however Jungkook intervened making everyone go quiet.

"Tia, will you sit beside me?" he requested in a calm manner but everyone got a clear message not to say otherwise.

His authoritative aura even made guys from third-year back off and accepting their defeat, they allowed me to make my way beside Jungkook. I politely thanked Jungkook and I settled down facing Charlotte and began to chat with some of my classmates.

Charlotte and Jungkook had become my personal rescuer in this university. I hadn't shared them in detail but had opened up about my PTSD due to some traumatic incidents in my past and since then they had been nothing but supportive and caring to me.

Every time a senior would try to force a drink on me, Jungkook would come to my salvation and take the drink from their hand and chucked it down his throat on my behalf.

"Yah, Jungkook-ah are you her boyfriend or what?" one of the bulky guys who were evidently jealous of the attention. Jungkook was getting said in a mocking tone when Jungkook responded with a straight face.

"Yes any problem with that" making him go shut.

Even though he was simply looking out for me, I felt my heart fluttering at his words. His presence made the gathering bit bearable and I began to regret less about being there.

We soon began to play drinking games which I had no interest on however stuck in the situation I had no options than to play along.

"Whom do you think has darkest secrets in their life?" A girl stated and to my surprise, everyone seemed to point at me resulting in me taking a shot of soju.

I guess it was pre-planned to make me drunk because every question was leading all of them to point at me and before I noticed I had chuck down numerous shots despite hating the taste of alcohol.

"Excuse me, I think I need to go to the bathroom" I excused myself to go to the washroom since my bladder had crossed its limit to hold on the gallons of liquor I had gulped when Jungkook stopped me and asked, "should I come?"

"It's all fine, please continue playing" politely refusing his offer, I went to ladies' toilet and did my business.

"Oppa, can you come to pick me up in about half an hour" I texted Jimin and opened the tap to wash my hand when suddenly the tap went dry.

Perplexed by the situation I turned on the next tap but nothing but the strange noises could be heard coming from it.

"Fuck what is wrong?" I attempted to close and open the tap numerous times in annoyance and abruptly water began to flow out of the tap startling me a bit.

Sighing on the relief I extended my hand to wash when instead of water dark red fluid began to pour out of the tap uncontrollably and I pushed myself away from the sink in shock.

For a minute or two, I thought my eyes were playing a joke on me or maybe I was way too drunk but the basin soon began to overflow with the dark fluid which was no doubt blood.

The lights in the toilet began to flicker and no matter how hard I tried the door didn't open.

"Help! somebody help" I banged the door as I shouted on top of my lungs hoping somebody passing by would hear me.

I shook my head wanting to wake up from this nightmare but it didn't work. I was still there in my full senses staring at the red fluid violently flowing out of the tap.

"Jimin! Jimin" with trembling hand I pulled out my cellphone when a loud voice echoed in the room making the phone drop out of my hand.

"TIAA" the voice screamed and the mirror in the toilets shattered right before my eyes as I dropped down on the floor losing my consciousness.

When I opened my eyes, the beautiful sight of Jimin's angelic face welcomed me and the sense of solace flooded my system. I was so glad that I was safe and back in his arms. Tears rolled down my eyes drop by drop as I held his hand and leaned my face against it.

"You scared me to death" he let out a sigh of relief and embraced me in his comforting arms. His fragrance was like incense to me that brought consolation and comfort to my life.

As he rubbed my back, repeatedly kissing my forehead, I calm down a little.

"What happened to you? your friend said a lady staff found you lying unconscious on the bathroom floor. Did you drink a lot?" He inquired me with concern filled eyes.

"Bathroom...blood...mirror shattered" the big lump on my throat prevented me from explaining things to him.

Jimin let go of me and massaged his forehead as if he was trying to soothe his headache studying my face with conflicted expression. I knew he must be thinking I had another of my episodes again.

"Are you taking your medicine regularly?" he voiced out his thought and I suddenly got offended.

I had never been careless with my medication. Even though there was nothing left in my life, I wanted to make the best out of it, I was determined not to throw my life away because countless lives were lost to keep me breathing.

I felt like I was being accused of a serious crime. When my face morphed into a displeased one Jimin quickly amended his words.

"I mean maybe sometimes you might have forgotten or missed to take it" He suggested as I glared him with teary eyes.

"I am not getting Mad, Jimin" I pressed the word mad as my lips trembled trying to contain my anger.

"Something is happening around me. something unexplainable. I really tried reasoning with logic but this is beyond that. There was blood coming out of the tap and I heard his voice loud and clear" I explained in a stern voice.

"He is back Jimin" when I finally said those words I broke down with ferocity.

My voice was no longer stern and I was losing my energy every passing second. Even mentioning his name made dread lurch on my stomach and caused my heart to ache in agony.

"His voice! His deep voice is still ringing in my ears, it's still hunting me. This time he will succeed on what he couldn't before" Jimin was eyeing me with a mixture of emotions. Pity, despair, and helplessness, his eyes had gone red trying to force his tears away but his compassion was not what I needed today.

I needed him to believe in my words.

Silently pulling my weeping form back into his arms he tried his best to soothe me down. Every core of my body was quivering in fear. I know he didn't trust my words because even I was having a hard time accepting my conclusions but I could no longer ignore the things that were happening around me.

"He is dead, Tia. We saw him getting buried. He can't hurt you anymore" he murmured the fact I was already aware of but did the death really stopped him from getting me.

Am I really beyond his reach now?

His final words rang on my ears like a striking bell, hurting my eardrums reminding me of the vow he took before I abandoned him between the blazing fire.

Even death cant keep you away from my reach,

TIA!!!
