'Why would you believe her? She could be lying!' 

A knife flew by, hitting Mabuchi right next to his thigh. We will need a new sofa by the end of the day.

'See, that's funny.' Jimin starts, taking yet another knife. 'How come I feel like I can trust her, but I don't trust you in the slightest?' 

'Can you fix him?' I cut in, asking a question on my own

'I... No. There is nothing I can do once it's been done.'

'So, you're telling me that you can fiddle with his brain, change him completely, but you can't undo it?' I do not believe him for one second

'Human brain is fragile. If I meddle more, I can only make him worse.' 

'You made another variant.' Taehyung spoke up, leaning a bit forward. 'The blue one seems to be the drug. The other ones are something else.'

Mabuchi keeps getting surprised. He had no idea we knew, but he composed himself quickly.
'Those are only in the testing right now. They are not reliable and functional yet. There is a lot to be done there.'

'I see. What do you need to make them functional?' Taehyung asks again

'I don't know. I need to do a lot more research to be able to figure it out. It's not just one thing that makes it all better.' He argues

'Here's what's gonna happen.' I speak again, taking a knife from Jimin, which he just let me take easily. 'I don't have quite the aim my husband does, so if I aim for your leg, it might end up in your face.' He gulped loudly. 'So what I suggest you do, is find a way to make it functional. And do it fast. Or I will use you as my target practice.'

'I can't just do it in a day! This is years of work! You can't expect me to just suddenly come up with the cure!'

'Then I can kill you right away, I suppose. If there's nothing you can do, you might as well die. Not like we need you.' I raise my hand, ready to aim

'Kill me, and you will never have him back!' He screams at me

'I have all of his research and the viles back in the car.' Jimin said calmly. 'Take it all. See if you can find anything.'

'So, this is what's going to happen.' Namjoon started talking, grasping everyone's attetnion. 'We will bring you and acquire everything you need for your research. You will have a week. Not a minute more. A week to figure out and undo what you did to him.' He was looking directly at Mabuchi. 

'I can't- A week... that's not enough.' Mabuchi argued

'A week.' Namjoon repeats in that stern tone. 'And if nothing comes out within that week, you're going to be administered the same exact drug. I'll let Taehyung here play with your brain instead. Let you know how ti feels.' Taehyung smirked at Mabuchi, waving a little sarcastically

'Isui will come for me.' Mabuchi sounded a bit more threatening now. 'He needs me.' 

'Isui won't be coming for anyone. He's dead.' Jimin says to him. We all know he's lying, but he needs a leverage. 'These guys here took him out this morning.' 

'Sure did. That car blew up in pieces.' Yoongi goes along, smirking happily

'I swear I saw some instestents on the floor.' Jungkook grinned as well

They might have convinced him, and he turned white once again.

'Take him.' Namjoon gave a simple order, and Jin and Jungkook got up, dragging Mabuchi up the stairs as he kept throwing himself around, yelling

'Thank you for bringing him, Jimin. How are you feeling?' Namjoon asks him

'Pissed off. But at least I know that I'm not crazy and making things up.' Jimin admits

'You're going to be okay. We will figure this out.' I take his hand, and he squeezes it back, his lips forming a tight line

'What if there's really nothing that he can do? What if-what if I never remember?' He asks softly

'More space for new memories. Right?' I smile, trying to stay positive. 

'No matter what happens, you will always have a place here, man. Besides, even if he can't help, your memories might come back on their own. You seem to remember a lot already. Or feel it. Even he was shocked.' Yoongi smiles at Jimin

'Have you seen anything new?' Taehyung asks him

'No. I haven't slept last 2 days, and I usually see those in my dreams.' He answers calmly

'You haven't- you haven't slept in two days...' Hoaeok stuttered, sighing through as he rubbed his eyes. He is as dissapointed as usual about his sleeping habits

'At least that never changes.' Taehyung snickers

'Do you wanna? Sleep, I mean?' I ask him, but he looked uncertain
'Your room is still up there. Lock yourself in if you don't feel safe. No one's gonna touch you. I promise.'

'That's... I'm... I don't wanna sleep.'

'Are you afraid of it? The dreams?' I figured that could be the only reason, and by the look on his face, I'd say I guessed it right. 'Do you want me to stay with you? If that helps.' I don't know what to do. But he needs sleep.

'Could you?' He must be truly terrified of them

I did not see that coming. I expected a hard no.
'Of course.'

'Go get some rest, man. We will be down here.' Yoongi pushes him a bit

'Okay. Thank you.' He keeps bowing, and it is extremely weird

'Come on. Let's get you to bed.' I pulled him gently off the couch, taking him upstairs

TAEHYUNG POV
We were just looking after Jimin as Rain led him upstairs. He held her hand tightly, almost looking afraid to let go. He is still so drawn to her. It's hard to believe that he doesn't remember a thing.

'This was unexpected. He actually agreed to go to sleep and  wanted her with him. Didn't see that one coming.' Hoseok chuckled a bit, but he was obviously just as surprised as the rest of us

'She might be a witch.' Yoongi jokes

'I'm right behind you with that. He doesn't know what's going on yet somehow fully trusts her. He still looks....' Namjoon was trying to search for a word to explain, and it looks like we all had the same thought, as we all spoke at the same time.

'In love.'

'Yep. In love.' Namjoon chuckles along with the rest of us

'As shit as it is, in the least we know he can love her again.' Yoongi seems the most happy about this

'I guess we will wait and see.'
