dark clouds hovers in seoul, quite matching to the atmosphere, jimin thinks absent-mindedly but snaps out of his thoughts when he phones rings. his expressions softens and he sighs before answering the call,

"jimin?"

"hey baby, i'm here" he hears a sigh slipping off jungkook's lips and stands up to go to his office's window.

"you're okay right? i love you jimin, i love you" there's no doubt the boy's silently crying, voice shaky as he stutters over his words, repeating the same words over and over again.

"jungkook" he hears sniffs from the other side, bringing his hand up to his temple as he closes his eyes.

"baby, i love you too, so much. please calm down. it's not good for you to be crying"

"i know jimin. i know it's today. i just- oh god, i just want you to be safe. i love you. please be safe"

"i will" when he hears the door opening behind him, his eyes snaps back open.

"jungkook, don't leave the house" is all the leader says before ending the call.

he turns, seeing taehyung and hoseok already loaded up and he walks to the front, taking his own guns and slipping it inside his jacket.

"you know, we have to make this out alive" taehyung utters, glancing between them, even if he is looking anxious and worried, "you guys better be alive after this or i'll-"

"you can't kill us when we're dead taehyung-ah" hoseok says mostly to himself, head snapping to the window as he hears multiple cars coming in.

"you read my mind" taehyung laughs nervously, looking at jimin who's silent the whole time. baekhyun and jinhwan appears at the doorframe, looking at the three, "the others are waiting"

"just like we planned, everything will go smoothly" the leader finally says, taking the step to walk out of his office, down to the main hall.

yoongi's already waiting, dozens of men behind him and jimin scoffs as he walks down the stairs, gaining the daegu's leader attention.

"brought so many of your mens, scared yoongi?" he says once they're face to face, lips curving into a smirk. yoongi glances behind the silver haired, an evil glint in his eyes,

"have so little of your men, think you're strong enough to defeat me? or are your men to busy taking care of your precious boyfriend in yongsan?" jimin falters a little, but gains his composure in a second, eyes shooting daggers at male, "you touch him even by an inch, i will fucking murder you min yoongi" he snarls lowly, making yoongi throw his head back and laugh, the whole park association clenching their jaw.

"oh i won't, i favour you more than him anyways but he is, i might say, an opportunity that can't be passed" he smiles, eyes mocking and continues, "if i can't have you, no one will"

jimin leans back, grins as he turns his head to the side to look at his men behind him, "now" he says before looking back at yoongi, making the male confused as he looks at jimin's men behind, irritation bubbling up his skin at the smug smile on the silver haired lips.

suddenly, he hears one on his men cursing, end his call on his phone as he gulps before looking at his leader, "what" yoongi spats, walking closer to the male.

"they- they blew up everything. our business in every city, our warehouses. your- they even blew up your mansion"

everything goes wild from there. yoongi growls before attacking the silver haired, creating chaos and gunshots started being heard, jimin shielding each and every one of yoongi's punches while eyeing taehyung and hoseok who's already looking bad as he is. baekhyun punched the male from the back, giving the leader a moment to back away but immediately grabs one of the min's hand that was going to attack him, twisting and kicking his leg before shooting him, elbowing the guy who charges at him from his peripheral vision. he sees hoseok flying to the ground and growls, going up to him only to get a punch on his face.

"think you're so good?" yoongi grabs him the collar, pushing him up the wall as he laughs, loud and menacing, "i'll make your boyfriend see you die right in front of his own eyes" he hisses and jimin used his leg to kick his shin, punching his face till he falls onto the ground and straddles him, squeezing the air out of his lungs with a hand harshly placed on his throat, "you won't touch him" he spits dangerously as yoongi struggles for air, but he still has that look in his eyes and the smile on his lips, "too bad, my men are there" he punches his jaw before standing up, white hot flash searing up his veins as jinhwan bumps into his back, "go, i'll handle it here" he shoots the people nearest to hoseok and taehyung, running past them, "they're going to get jungkook! we have to go!" was the only thing both male heard before speeding out as well, leaving the others in the mansion.

"how do you know? yoongi might play a trick on you" taehyung panics as jimin drives way past the speed limit, swerving through lanes and cars in a hurry. "his eyes, the glint in his eyes never lies, i know it"

"he said he wants to make jungkook watch me die in front of his eyes" he continues but suddenly slows down when the words play in his mind again. if yoongi speeds with him to the house jungkook's in, the male is at risk to get shot as well. but if jimin is caught first, there's a chance jungkook will be safe with taehyung and hoseok.

"he wants to make jungkook watch me get killed" he repeats and hoseok and taehyung doesn't like the smile jimin shoots them. "hoseok, take the wheel, come on!" jimin moves over, almost crashing into another car but hoseok maneuvers it, screaming how crazy jimin is to pull a stunt like that.

through the rearview mirror, he spots yoongi's car, along with his men driving behind, "perfect"

"whatever happens, keep jungkook safe, even if yoongi brings him to me when i get caught, i want both of you with him as well. don't stop the car hoseok, hear me? continue driving. i will fucking murder you if you stop. get to the house as fast as you can after this"

"what? jimin what the fuck!" taehyung shouts as the door opens, the wind gushing in harshly because of the speed they're driving at but jimin jumps out, crashing onto the pavement and groans, bracing himself from getting hit by the head. he watches as taehyung sticks his head out from the window as the car continues moving but that's all he could see before his vision turns black.

"where is jimin?" jungkook says cautiously when he only sees taehyung and hoseok entering through the door. they look beaten up, lips split and bruises blooming all over but taehyung sits down in the couch, head in his hands as he shakes.

it's the first time jungkook sees taehyung shaking like that, gasping when he grips hoseok so tight as the male sits next to him, burying his face into his shoulder. "taehyung, he's going to be fine, really. i think i know what he's doing" hoseok says and taehyung looks up, taking a deep breath before nodding, trying to calm himself down.

"hoseok hyung, where is jimin?" jungkook steps nearer to them, eyes going wide at the tension radiating from both males.

"answer me! where's jimin?" he shakes the male so hard, tears brimming in his eyes but hoseok grips his wrist, pulling it off, "jungkook, calm down"

"did he really make himself fall into the min's trap?" a voice booms through the silent room, making all eyes turn to him. jimin's father looks at them from the stairs, eyes sharp and bold.

hoseok shakes his head, "i think he's making yoongi fall into his trap"

jimin wakes up to a slap on his face, hard enough to sting and his eyes blink open, jaw painfully tugged up with rough fingers, "how stupid are you? i mean it did helped me in being able to catch you and tie you up here. ironic isn't it? that you're going to die in your own house?" jimin tugs at the ropes on his hands and legs, growling at the male above him. they're at the basement, jimin tears his eyes away from yoongi and sees baekhyun and jinhwan tied up as well, blood smeared over their shirt and face.

"boss, they're here" yoongi turns to the door, flashing a smile at the three males dragged into the room.

"jimin" jungkook breathes, chest constricting when he sees jimin tied and all bruised up, hot tears streaming down his face. he makes a move to go to him but is held back by a man behind him, grabbing his arm roughly, making him wince.

"let him go" jimin snaps, yoongi lifting a hand to make his men release his hold, "i wouldn't dare to take a step if i were you, pretty boy" yoongi drawls slowly, the hand holding the gun moving up to jimin's temple amd hears the pained shout jungkook lets out.

"jungkook, hey baby, listen to me" jimin suddenly says, voice soft despite the situation he is in, hating the way those tears are painting his face, "we'll be okay alright? i'll be fine. please stop crying" jungkook hiccups, trying to stop but the tears won't stop flowing and he finally breaks, "what do you even want?" he cries out, making yoongi raise his brow, lowering his gun as he circles around to be in front of jungkook.

"if you want me, take me. but please, please don't do anything to jimin. i can't- please don't kill him" he whispers brokenly, and jimin's breath hitches at his words, "jungkook-"

"you can kill me, do all you want but let him go, please, i beg you" jimin clenches around his binds, the air suffocating him but he has to remain calm, he needs to, if he wants to keep jungkook safe.

"what is this? juliet sacrificing himself for his romeo? what a fucking dramatic love story you guys have" yoongi goes back to jimin, walking behind him and crushes his windpipes, hears jimin choking on air before releasing it, laughing loudly that it echoes in the room.

"too bad you're dying, huh, romeo?" he brings his gun back to jimin's temple, "i told you didn't i? if i can't have you, no one can. i'll kill myself too jimin-ah, anything for you" he pulls on the trigger and jimin finally tugs himself out of the rope tying his hands and pulls yoongi's wrist up such that the gunshot through the roof, making yoongi grunt as he kicks him to the floor, taking the gun from his hands and all the shootings he hears becomes white noises as he places the gun in yoongi's throat once he had forced open his mouth, "you should know yoongi," jimin chuckles, pulling on the trigger, "i hate losing" the gunshot echoes in the room as he releases the hold, stepping away as crimson red starts spreading on the floor.

he glances around and sees all the min's dead, finally stopping at jungkook and rushes to his side, the boy physically trembling as he clutches jimin in a death grip, taking in gasps of air as he wills himself to stop crying.

"jimin, jimin, jimin" he whispers, burying his face into the male's neck as jimin kisses the top of his hair.

"i'm here baby, stop crying, please" he whispers and holds jungkook tightly against him, careful of his stomach. once the male's breathing slows down, he turns and sees taehyung and hoseok helping baekhyun and jinhwan out of binds.

"swear to me, that you'll never jump out of the car like that ever again. park jimin, swear to me" taehyung finally says, fuming and glaring at jimin who laughs, "no promises taehyung"

"i am leaving your psychotic ass" he mutters, eventhough he doesn't mean it and says he's going to bring baekhyun, jinhwan and their men who's injured to their family doctor, leaving the two alone.

"jungkook?" he says once silence fills the room, the others all heading up.

"i was so scared. i couldn't- i couldn't bear the thought of you leaving me. i wouldn't be able to take it, seeing the light fade from your eyes" he finally croaks, voice hoarse from all the crying.

"jungkook, you wanted to give yourself up for me. i would never allow that"

"i would, for you" jungkook looks into his eyes, finally feeling safe as those brown orbs gaze back at him warmly before crashing their lips together, shuddering at the contact. jimin kisses him deep and slow before pulling away, wiping the remaining tears from his eyes as his kisses jungkook's eyelids softly, "i love you"

"don't ever leave me again" jimin doesn't answer, but the way he tilts jungkook's chin up to bring their lips together again is enough for jungkook.

END.
