He touched Gemini’s cheek.

Cold.

Lifeless.

Fourth’s whole body shook violently.

Fourth:
N-no… no, no, no… this isn’t this isn’t real GEMINI WAKE UP

He cupped Gemini’s face.

Fourth (screaming):
GEMINI OPEN YOUR EYES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE you can't leave me alone

No response.

Jungkook growled, stepping toward his father.

Jungkook:
What did you do—WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?? WHY DID YOU KILL MY BROTHER WHY

Mr. Jeon shrugged.

Mr. Jeon:
He was useless. And disobedient. BECAUSE OF YOU AND FOURTH WE HAVE TO KILL HIM

Jungkook lunged, but Taehyung grabbed him.

Fourth lay on the floor, body shaking uncontrollably, forehead pressed to Gemini’s chest.

Fourth (sob breaking):
Gem…. come back… please come back… you promised… you PROMISE

Joong turned away, eyes wet.

Pond was trembling terribly.

Mrs. Jeon stepped forward.

Mrs. Jeon (cold):
Now you all will also die

Fourth snapped.

He screamed and threw himself at Mrs. Jeon, but J-Hope grabbed him in time.

J-Hope:
FOURTH NO!

Fourth kicked, cried, screamed, trying to reach Gemini again.

Fourth:
LET ME GO LET ME GO LET ME STAY WITH HIM he is alive ik my gem can never leave me alone

Mr. Jeon raised his gun.

Mr. Jeon:
Fine. If you want to die with him

PSSSSHHHH—

A loud spraying sound filled the room.

J-Hope had already pulled the pin on the chemical fog canister.

White gas exploded everywhere.

Guards coughed violently.

Mr. Jeon stumbled back.

Mrs. Jeon covered her mouth.

J-Hope shouted:

J-Hope:
“GET fourth AND RUN!”

Pond and Jungkook grabbed fourth

Taehyung ran beside them hysterically.

Fourth:
NO GEMINI IS THERE PLEASE LET ME GO TO GEMINI HE IS ALIVE IK

They sprinted out of the mansion through the smoke.

Bullets fired behind them.

Shouts echoed.

But they ran.

Ran like demons were chasing them.

Because they were.

OUTSIDE – THE CAR

Pond threw the backdoor open.

Jungkook and Taehyung laid FOURTH inside

Taehyung climbed in uninvited, crying silently.

Fourth (screaming in a broken loop):
How can you leave him alone there they will kill my Gemini please let me go to him please let me go
