"...I want you all to judge me as I am in front of you. Decide on your own accord if I should be President" Jimin stated confidently, watching as the crowd murmured between themselves.

It was clear that they were in shock, especially the heroes who came to know him.

"Woah... Jimin was the late President's son?" Irene breathed out from the sidelines and helping out with security.

"He's asking us if he can be President?!" Taeyong exclaimed before grabbing Sana in pure astonishment.

It was obvious that the people were uncertain if all of this was real or just hoax. However, everything was real and they didn't know how to answer.

Sure, they knew him as the lovable hero from Eros who became a Protector but, was he capable of taking such an important role?

Biting your lip, your eyes trailed over to Jimin to see that he too noticed that hesitancy coming from everyone.

Breathing in deeply, the lightning user only had one solution to all of this. He just hoped it would work.

Slowly, he went down on one knee and then proceeded to put his other leg down too.

The crowd gasped and their murmurs only got louder.

You were speechless and you were wondering what was going on inside his mind.

"Jimin! What are you doing?!" Mrs. Chae exclaimed after removing the mic away from her mouth.

The male was now kneeling and after taking one more glance at the people in front of him, he continued to speak.

"...my father said that he loved his job and that he wished for me to experience it too... his reasoning was that while he supported all the heroes and citizens, they supported him back. I want to experience that feeling... and I want you all to experience it, too" everyone became silent after his speech, their hearts warming up to the male even more.

"...I vote yes!" A little girl yelled from sitting on her father's shoulders. Jimin looked over to her and saw the huge smile that adorned her face and he couldn't help but copy her and nod in thanks.

"...me too!"

"Me three!"

"Yes!"

"Be the president!" Soon after, the whole place was filled with cheers of them saying yes to wanting him to he president. His grin only grew with each shout and he could feel the support already.

After sometime, Jimin stood back up before bowing in thanks.

"I shan't disappoint you all. You have my word" the cheering grew louder and everyone was glad.

"He did it" Namjoon breathed out in relief, proud that he could witness Jimin's growth with his own eyes. The guys were beside the stage and making sure to guard the civilians who were close by.

"I still think he should be a dancer... but a President is cool too" Jin added from beside the ice hero.

"Is that even the same guy from five months ago?" Yoongi questioned before softening his expression at the now new President before him.

"I know that guy! We live together!" Hoseok yelled before whistling loudly in hopes to gain Jimin's attention. The others rolled their eyes at this before returning back to looking at the beaming Jimin.

The new President looked your way, his face truly glowing from happiness as he showed you a thumbs up before mouthing 'I did it'. You couldn't help but send a toothy smile back, feeling beyond proud for him.

However, something in the distance behind Jimin had caught your eye.

Something (or someone) was standing on one of the buildings while aiming their hand in Jimin's direction.

Your smile instantly became a frown once you realised what was happening.

Someone was trying to assassinate Jimin.

Allowing your body to react on it's own, you began running over to him while making the younger look confused.

"Jimin! Move!" You finally reached him and pushed him out of the way while you stood in the place of where the bullet was supposed to go.

The person had already shot their sniper and making you shut your eyes in fear.

You weren't going to let Jimin die just like that. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.

"Y/N!" Jimin called out from the floor, ready to use his powers to speed over to you but it would have been too late.

The bullet was now only centimetres away and you waited for the contact.

...but it didn't come.

Hesitantly, you opened your eyes to see someone standing in front of you.

They had been shot instead.

"MRS. CHAE!"
