Jungkook retracted his eyes back at the groaning man, who still had his hand over his head and looked furious, very much actually.
'Ohh, heck I really need to run now,' his mind chanted.
The ravenette meeting glanced at the door and deciding on the chance, he bolted towards the exits but halted once he felt a fast paced object– a bullet passed beside him and hit the wall with a loud bang…
He harshly flinched and covered his ears with his free hands, 'What the..'
With a horrified gaze Jungkook turned his body only to see that the same guy was holding his head with his hand and in another hand was a pistol which was just pointed at him.
'Fuck...he really didn't lie that he will shoot me.' Jungkook widened his eyes as the pistol was once again pointed at him.
The guy was drunk enough and even was angry, Jungkook swore this day had to be his least favorite..
Jungkook's eyes took an instant to notice that the man was about to pull the trigger.
He heard a gunshot.
Jungkook clenched his eyes closed and his hands turned in a tight fist.
Everything stopped for him, there was a moment of silence and the gunshot took a few seconds to settle in but was still ringing over Jungkook's ears.
But he didn't feel the pain..
Instead a squeak left his through his parted lips as he felt an arm snaked over his waist and pulled him back in a tight embrace.
Jungkook's brain seemed to stop processing... he was frozen..
"Baby...I'm sorry"
He heard a muffled voice.
'The voice...its..'
Jungkook's eyes parted slowly and cautiously,
To see the man was clenching his arm and there was blood.
He took a sharp intake of breath, his head pushing back only to hit something hard, and realized he was still spaced out and blinked back in reality.
Jungkook felt his own heartbeat ringing in his ears and was breathing heavily. Now well aware of a body holding him so securely, so assuredly..
"I'm...sorry"
Jungkook craned his neck slowly, feeling a movement behind him and the figure moved a step back, giving his personal space back.
The ravenette widened his eyes as it set on the male infront,
"Tae..hyung...?"
It was Taehyung who was holding him, he was in front of him…he didn't leave him alone..
Jungkook couldn't help, when he came back to his senses, it was on instinct that he crashed into Taehyung's chest in a hug.
Taehyung dropped the gun from his hand before engulfing Jungkook completely in his embrace. "Baby," his shoulder slumped at the warmth of the younger.
Jungkook broke down completely...
"I thought..you won't hel-p but I still tru-sted you Tae"
Taehyung felt his heart clench at the words,
He hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry...kook I took this much time..I'm sorry.."
Jungkook pulled back to look if he was really in his arms or he was just hallucinating.
"Are you for real?" He frowned to see a pained expression on the blinde, but couldn't help but to cup his cheeks.
"Koo.." Taehyung touched Jungkook's cheek with his palm, staring at the doe eyes in front which were welled up with tears, "I'm sorry for making you go through these Kook, you must be so scared." he pulled him back again for a hug, and Jungkook gladly slided his hands around his neck.
"Did you find him-" Jimin entered the room, positioning the gun in his hand as he looked at Taehyung and another guy tightly hugging and crying. "Oh..is that him?"
Taehyung didn't reply to him , instead he was busy consoling Jungkook who was completely leaning over him...the younger felt too weak on his knees.
Jimin decided to let them have their moment and His eyes drifted to the other side of the room, when he caught on the guard in the floor, who was crawling in to take his pistol which was right beside him..and tried to aim at the couple.
Jimin quickly pulled the trigger and shot him in the arm.
The man groaned once again in pain.
Jungkook and Taehyung both flinched hearing the sudden gunshot and turned their heads towards Jimin.
Jimin lowered the gun and kicked the guy then looked back at them, quickly noticing the other male's face hardened in surprise.
"Oh..um hey, Jungkook, right?" He gave an eye smile, with a little wave.
Jungkook gasped when he skimmed his gaze down noticing Jimin's attire and realised that he was wearing an officer's uniform.
"T-taehyung?" He hurried his gaze back at the elder. He was afraid...if the police are here then they will also take the blonde..
Taehyung's lips curled a little as Jungkook's hands clutched on his arms protectively, "yes, baby?"
"Wi-ll they t-take you too?" He frowned deeper, his glossy eyes squinting in fear while Taehyung melted and with certainty wrapped his hands around Jungkook.
"No..baby no one is taking me away from-you now." He closed his eyes, tuning in to the younger heaving deeply. "Calm down, I'm here now.."
Jimin was flabbergasted by seeing them and turned around to hear footsteps but relaxed when it was Yoongi who entered the room.
"Jimin where is Tae- oh he is there"
Yoongi briefly glanced at the couple. "Jimin, tell them we need to hurry before they report it."
Jimin nodded. "Yeah, right...Taehyung..we really need to get out now.."
Jungkook once again got defended, positioning himself in front of Taehyung in order to hide the blonde from them, "wh-where are they taking you?"
Taehyung cupped Jungkook's cheeks and wiped Jungkook's smudged cheeks. "Yo-you are going with me too, Doll.." he softly mumbled, caressing the bangs out of his eyes.
Jungkook furrowed his eyes in confusion and Taehyung thought he was really looking adorable like that.
"Tae.." Yoongi ushered with his voice for which the latter nodded and cleared his throat
"Let's go kook.." saying this he held his hands and Jungkook unknowingly nodded. But he was sure it's Taehyung and he really did come to save him...
Jimin was walking in the front and Yoongi was in the back...
Taehyung was holding onto Jungkook tightly and they were heading towards the exit.
Jungkook still couldn't process what was happening around him, well what he knew that he wasn't alone, hell it still felt like a dream that Taehyung was securely embracing him, as his sharp eye darted around the hallway by which they were walking.
Suddenly, Jungkook flinched at the sounds of gunshot erupting from the back as Taehyung's hands protectively held him in place when he felt the younger being startled, and nodded back when Yoongi and Jimin both didn't took long to rush back sending a mere nod.
Jungkook was about to turn his head but Taehyung stopped him "let's keep moving, alright?"
"Bu-but.." he tried to speak shakily and Taehyung intertwined their fingers.
"Don't worry Jimin and Yoongi will handle them" Taehyung responded knowing what the younger's concern was.
Jungkook nodded, still not knowing why he came in with the officers.
When they got outside of the abandoned building, Jungkook saw there were many police cars and they were in their positions with guns in their hands.. pointing at them.
Jungkook's heart thumped against his chest harshly at the scene, and felt it was a scene straight out of a movie.
Taehyung raised his hands and waved, while his other hand stayed holding Jungkook in his embrace.
All the policemen lowered their guns and Jungkook was even more perplexed and confusingly gazed at the blonde while stepping away from the infrastructure along with Taehyung who led him towards a van,
Jungkook couldn't help but to keep his eyes anxious eyes down at the ground, while his hands barely left space between them.
Taehyung could easily sense the distress off the male so he ushered towards the Van as fast as he could and opened the passenger door.
"Here, sit" he softly murmured, taking his hands off Jungkook's body but only to motion him inside the van, knowing how mentally exhausted he was.
But halted as soon as a police officer came up to them. "Sir we would like to interroga-"
Instinctively Jungkook shifted closer towards Taehyung who responded, "not now please.. he is still recovering from the shock.."
The police officer nodded understandingly and walked away after a short glance at the younger.
Jungkook parted his lips and hesitantly whispered. "Tae…wh-what is happening?" He asked, still not having any intention to move his grip from the blonde's arm.
Taehyung smiled comfortingly at his confused baby. "I'll tell..you everything but you need to rest now alright.." and he leaned onward to press his lips over Jungkook's forehead lingered it there for awhile.
Jungkook closed his eyes at the contact, his shoulder tensing up before slumping down.
Jimin and Yoongi walked towards them, while both of them pulled out their bulletproof vest.
"Jungkook you are okay right.. he didn't harm you, nah?"
Jungkook eyed Taehyung to see that the latter was simply looking at him, urging him to speak and the latter meekly shook his head, much to Taehyung's bliss.
Jimin relaxed and smiled at the younger. "You look so adorable Jungkook"
Jungkook blinked, not knowing what to do or say, shifting a little closer towards Taehyung and fidgeting with his cuffs.
Yoongi chuckled and rested his hands over Jimin's shoulder, "Jimin-ah, don't scare that poor kid"
Jimin pursed his lips, rolled his eyes and slided his shoulder out of the elders hold which made Yoongi's arm fall abruptly "I am not scaring him.." Jimin huffed and Yoongi glared at him with his feline eyes.
Jungkook bit his lips and mistakenly chuckled softly at them arguing, unaware that Taehyung's gaze softened while looking at him.
Wondering how much can change in just an hour that he wholeheartedly misses the younger's sweet laugh echoing around his surroundings.
Taehyung turned towards him and perked his chin to make eye contact. "You are really fine, right..?"
Jungkook controlled himself by holding back a gasp of breath when the blonde's eyes set on him, his soft but certain touch made his heart more crazy, his face muscles relaxed near his lips and curled them in a smile.
Taehyung really didn't leave him alone, he kept the…..of his trust.
"Now..I am." and his hands snaked forward to hug Taehyung, who embraced him back with a soft kiss on his shoulder.
Meanwhile, Jimin silently coo'ed at them. "I ship them"
Yoongi squinted his eyes and looked at the guy getting crazy, "Jimin.. their ship already sailed long ago."
Jimin rolled his eyes and grumbled something under his breath which Min Yoongi was too unbothered with.
Taehyung looked at Yoongi and Jimin. "I think we need to go, he is still shivering. " nodding towards Jungkook, he said.
Jimin nodded and parted the door of the van wider as Taehyung helped Jungkook to sit and then sat beside him, hands merging once they got settled, Yoongi and Jimin both sat in the front.
"So now to your home?" Yoongi asked with a glint of relaxation.
"Yeah finally." Taehyung replied and smiled at the thought, and chuckled to himself when he caught Jungkook's amused gaze on him "It's fine baby you are alright now.."
Jungkook nodded and fluttered his eyes when a kiss was planted in his cheeks.
"I will explain everything to you after, alright...?"
"Yea-h" Jungkook cleared his throat and mumbled, feeling his tiredness as the van accelerated in the highway and he couldn't help but to let his eyes close as he was completely leaning over Taehyung's shoulder, the blonde held him by his waist and didn't move his hand even more a sec.
Jungkook took a deep breath, he was once again in his warm embrace... even though he didn't know what the actual hell was going on. He doesn't care much... it's Taehyung who came to save him and that's all that mattered to him.
"Jimin pass the water bottle please..."
Taehyung said.
"Hm.. here" Jimin passed him the water.
Taehyung softly nudged Jungkook's cheek. "Baby drink some water, you must be thirsty..."
Jungkook opened his eyes and nodded, he was so lost in his thoughts that he forgot his basic necessity. He held the water bottle and sipped from it, Taehyung also carefully aid him.
Wiping his lips, Jungkook straightened his posture to sit properly and glanced at Taehyung, who was already looking at him with a surge of guilt swimming inside those brown eyes.
Jungkook didn't hesitate before uttering.
"It was Jin Hyung.."
Taehyung blinked and slowly tilted his head with confusion. "Jin hyung?"
Jungkook nodded, eyes turning dim. "Jin hyung was the one who...behind MIOS..The one I was supposed to meet"
Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows before widening his eyes.
"Did he meet you?"
Jungkook nodded again. "But.. he left in a few minutes. "
Jimin, who was paying close attention to their words, spoke. "Should we report it to the Chief?"
Yoongi hummed "of course Jimin we need to report it. It's a vital thing"
Taehyung looked at Jungkook beforehand.
He knew Jungkook used to be really close to Seokjin. They were almost brothers if it wasn't the fact that blood is thicker than water.
"Will you be fine kook?"
Jungkook darted his eyes away towards the dark scenery outside the window, fluttering his eyes when he felt tears welling up again.
"I don't know...I mean it's too much information just-" he gulped when his voice broke.
Taehyung used his hands to turn Jungkook's face at him, the latter was holding onto his sobs again and it really broke his heart. "Baby.. it's fine we'll figure everything out okay."
Jungkook sighed and leaned in his chest, wanting to be held by and closed his eyes again as Taehyung rubbed on his back silently and he looked outside the window.
He couldn't understand what was happening.
First was Taehyung who came out of nowhere and kidnapped him, and held him as a hostage for days.
Then he blurted out that he liked him and they started dating.
Again Taehyung said that was just an act, it didn't mean anything to him but now he could easily figure out it was just a lie the blonde was saying in front of Hobi.
Another is.. It was Jin the whole fucking time whom everyone was searching and was a mystery.
Again, it was Taehyung who came to save him with police now holding him in his arms as they are going to his house.
What the actually fuck?
Jungkook felt his throat tightening with so much emotion he was feeling and pulled away abruptly and looked at Taehyung, who looked perplexed at the sudden act.
"Tell me right now..." the younger demanded.
"J-jungkook?"
Jungkook shook his head and held Taehyung's warm hands, feeling alot better at the assurance. "I can't seem to like rest with hav-ing so much.. in my mind Taehyung."
Taehyung hummed, even still being hesitant but somewhere getting Jungkook. "Alright, then..."
He sighed and looked at Jimin through the mirror in front and male was also looking and he nodded.
Taehyung sighed in relief that he didn't need to lie to Jungkook anymore. He leaned toward him and chuckled. "You were..right, kook"
Jungkook blinked, not getting in what context Taehyung was speaking. "In what way..?"
"That I really don't suit as a kidnapper..cause I'm really not a kidnapper or anything..." he smiles cheekily at Jungkook's confused face tilted his head.
"T-then why the heck you were-like holding me h-hostage?" Jungkook jutted his lips in a pout.
Taehyung cupped his cheeks with one hand and mumbled, "It was a part of the mission,Jungkook"
Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows. "but-but..I know it was your last mission for being an official member of-"
Taehyung didn't know he could even feel that much relief for ever speaking out about his missions. "Kook, no that was like..an objective-um to become a member of MIOS, and that was just an overall mission we had."
Jungkook bit his lips as he was stopping his tears by squinting his eyes up to the point he barely left them open.
"Wh-why are you crying?" Taehyung asked, suddenly being concerned that his smile wiped off his face.
"Because I'm not understand, Taehyung..." his nose twitched.
Taehyung carded his fingers and massaged his head gently, "okay it's fine.. I'll tell you everything alright, just calm down for now okay..."
Jungkook nodded, giving up cause honestly his head was hurting.
"Actually, just know that I did had to lie to you for -"
Jungkook snapped his eyes open and interrupted being flabbergasted, "So you don't love me?"
Taehyung closed his lips and sighed before pulling back the fidgety younger in a tight hug. "Baby...loving you is not a lie, But I did lied when I said I don't love you.."
Jungkook clenched his fist, nothing was crossing his mind perfectly and his headache was growing. "Fuck.. okay Taehyung I'll jus-just rest for now" he uttered,
Taehyung eyed him, "yeah, that would be good.."
Jungkook sighed once again, and again let his head fall on his chest.
"Do you want to eat something? Are you hungry?"
Jungkook shook his head. "I don't want to eat now.."
Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows and played with Jungkook'ssoft raven locks. "Love, shouldn't stay with an empty stomach..uh, well then how bout I'll make you something when we reach my home?"
Jungkook blinked and hummed tiredly, "Sounds like a plan.."
Taehyung smiled, "alright then.." and he continued running his fingers through his hair, letting the younger one breathe freely.
Meanwhile, Jimin was talking with their chief and kept the phone after ending the conversation. "Strange, he told us to meet him tomorrow and not to tell anyone when I told him that the guy belongs from Jungkook's social group.."
Yoongi narrowed his eyebrows but nodded, "oh.."
Taehyung hummed confusingly, "wait why he would say not to tell anyone."
Jimin rolled his eyes and grumbled. "You are really a dork... If we said and someone got to know then the guy, Jin will be alerted."
Taehyung blinked, "if so.. then why did you say that it's strange?"
Jimin turned his face towards Taehyung "when did I-Oh.. that! Nothing, I was just calling you." He cackled when Taehyung cursed at him for being annoyed.
Jungkook giggled at their interaction.
Taehyung blushed being embarrassed, "You are really asking for a beating, Chim"
Jimin laughed, "not even in your dreams. Dont forget I you lost against me in roller skating"
Jungkook glanced at Taehyung when he retorted.
"Cause I was a beginner, that's unfair.." Taehyung defended himself and the younger one turned his eyes towards Jimin when he spoke.
"Huh, that sounds like your problem.." Jimin sassed and Jungkook couldn't help himself from asking.
"A-are you guys friends?"
Jimin smiled at Jungkook's words, "Nah.. we are soulmates"
Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows in confusion "soulmates?" He blinked and Jimin fanboy'ed over it.
Jimin hummed with a glee and his eyes sparkled. "We joined the academy together for training and we were on the same team so we got really close and now we are here."
Jungkook nodded along his words, trying to understand but something hit him. "aca-demy? Training?"
Jimin looked at Taehyung, "I think you should tell him"
Jungkook eyed Taehyung, "tell me-what?"
Jimin chuckled, retracing his eyes on the front. "That he is not the kidnapper."
Jungkook blinked but urged him to continue. "...okay..?"
"and also-also he is an officer like me."
Jungkook hummed and finally he processed it all. "okay..-okay? Okay What?" His eyes enlarged and looked at Taehyung while Jimin continued,
"yeah and the mission he was saying was to collect information about MIOS. To be a member and to get deep info."
Jungkook snuck a breath, soon everything started getting clear. "eh..?"
"and it was Taehyung's plan, to kidnap you was a part of the plan."
Jungkook looked at Taehyung, who gulped because he didnt got a good vibe.
"So you really lied.." he whispered.
"Jungkook.." Taehyung started,
Jungkook blinked and pointed him a look, "So..so when I was having my fucking mental break down you were internally laughing at me?"
Taehyung widened his eyes, "No, babe I swear you are misinterpreting it, how can you.." slowly he held his arms and rested it on his lap. "Calm down for me, please?"
Jungkook gulped, closing his eyes and nodded. "Okay, w-hatever.." he looked away as well as drifted his hands out from Taehyung's grip. "Don't talk to me for.. a while."
Taehyung glanced at Jungkook, he sighed and retracted his eyes back at Jimin.
Jimin bite his lips, feeling a tad guilty. "I'm sorry Tae, I should have waited for you to say.."
Taehyung quickly shook his head."No Chimmy, it's not your fault."
"Tae…" Yoongi briefly eyed him through the mirror and continued. "Give him some time, I think it's too much for him to take."
The blonde hummed as a response and once again let his fall on the younger. He could feel he needed time to process it better, Jungkook needed his own safe moment. But still Taehyung felt relief wash over him cause there would be no moment from now where Jungkook would be so hopeless.
He frowned slightly, musing all those times when the ravenette really lost hope on his life, those words which made Taehyung's heart clench. Sometimes he wanted to just spill the truth about all these missions, not giving a shit if it was supposed to to be confidential or not, only to console Jungkook and comfort him, to say he has nothing to fear, he would always protect him now that he was really serious about not ever letting him go.
But he couldn't, not when it would seriously make Jungkook's life in line.
According to their team's research, people under the official MIOS are one hell of a people interpreter. He couldn't risk that, it needed to be believable for them to actually allow him.
Taehyung sighed a breath when Jungkook fell in complete silence, in fact no one talked leaving only the audible sound resonating from the car.
He hesitated for a moment before placing his palm over the back of Jungkook's hand.
Jungkook flinched at the sudden touch, didn't eyed him, his heartbeat doubled at the contact and slowly he relaxed under the touch.
The blonde was grateful that the young ravenette didn't shove his hands away instead felt his fingers meekly and subtly tangling and holding onto his long ones, as if the blonde can't sense it all, making the corner of his lips curled up.
Jungkook kept his eyes outside the window, partially watching the unfamiliar scenery, and focusing more on Taehyung's hand. He bit his lips when he felt Taehyung's fingers padding onto him to show comfort.
Jungkook took a small section of his lower lip to deny a smile which threatened on spilling, well he heavily regretted once he looked away, for fuck's sake it was Taehyung's job to do what he did, he scolded himself. He really thought that the elder would get annoyed at him but the elder's actions spoke otherwise.
'Why do I react badly shit..His friends are also thinking that I'm weird. Agh' he clenched his jaw and felt restless just by thinking that, he was really glad that Taehyung was somewhat holding onto him, it made him calm and always stopped him from dwelling on his thoughts more than necessary.
Jimin heaved a breath and eyed Yoongi's side profile, the latter was totally focusing on driving, he tilted his head when he realised something and looked back at the backseat since there was no voice coming from behind since the little argument, he wasn't even sure if it was an argument or not.
Jimin furrowed his eyebrows when he saw both of the male were looking opposite to each other, but his lips relaxed in a smile when he noticed their hands being intertwined.
