"Okay Ara, I'll be going now." Jungkook said as he was about to leave. He spent the night and the day with Ara and now he has to go back cz he has a conference with the senior doctors by tomorrow.

"Hyung don't love Ara." She pouted and sat down on the ground, Jungkook got no other choice but to sit beside her.

"Umm true Hyung don't." Jungkook said and was not looking at Ara who was looking at him rather more intensely than needed.

Ara is a 18 year old girl but her mental age is around 9 year old kid. She didn't have a fully developed brain and cz of which she talks about herself as a third person.

"H-hyung don't love A-Ara." Jungkook looked how hot bold tears atarted to run out of her eyes. He didn't do anything just kept sitting there and looking at her.

"Eomma can you give me the gift I bought yesterday so that i can take that with me" Jungkook said ignoring how quickly Ara was alert on the mention of gift.

"Sure I'll be...." Eomma smiled but was cut by Ara who was quick to jump on Jungkook and to shook her head.

"That gift belongs to Ara now. Hyung don't get to touch that." Ara said with an angry pout and Jungkook can't help but laugh. So did Eomma.

Imagine then sitting beside the main door on the ground. Jungkook looked at her and stopped laughing but she still has a scowl her face.

"Yeah gifts are meant for loved ones, when I don't love you or Eomma don't love you than why would we give you gifts?" Jungkook said all serious and now Ara was sitting beside him, hands still holds Jungkook's very tightly.

"But Hyung wants to go back. Eomma wants Ara to stay inside the house. No one let Ara play outside." She said as in she'll cry any minute.

"Ara why did you hit Bong-soo yesterday?" Jungkook asked and Ara had her head low.

"He cursed Ara. Ara just wanted to play with him." She replied and Jungkook held his hands under his palm.

"Ara everyone is not like you. There is good and bad both in the world, it depends what you want to take or what's good for you and Eomma knows what will be good so she asked you not to leave the house. Now tell me is she a bad person?" Jungkook asked as by now Eomma was also sitting beside them.

"No." Ara replied in a small voice.

"And tell me how would i get you a teddy bear of your size when I'll not go back to Seoul?" Jungkook asked and saw how Ara's expression changed.

"Really?." She squealed.

"Yes it's a big teddy bear of white color and he can even hug Ara." Jungkook replied. "As Ara love white color."

"Ara loves you more." She said and gave Jungkook a small kiss over his cheek. Both Jungkook and Eomma started laughing.

"What is the color of his hairs?" Ara asked as they stood up.

"Ummmm..." Jungkook thought cz he still didn't buy any teddy bear and he don't know why but Taehyung's face lingered in his mind and the word slipped out of his mouth before he can even think.

"Gray." Jungkook said and Ara was jumping up and down.

"A winter bear. I'll name it a winter bear." She said and Jungkook pinched her cheeks.

"Why so?"

"White as snow and gray hairs as a mountain top..... highhhhh up in the sky. It looks gray." She herself chuckled. It makes no sense but that's how her brain works.

"Wow." Jungkook looked at Eomma and they both started laughing.

"Okay now i have to go, next time I'll be back with a big teddy bear okay. And no fighting with anyone." Jungkook said and Ara nodded.

Jungkook told Eomma about Ara'snew therapy and left for Seoul.

"Okay Kim Taehyung enough now, tell me what's so special in you that we don't have." Jimin said frustrated as he came to sit beside Taehyung who is sitting at the back of the shop, worried.

Please Jimin I'm already worried don't start now.

Taehyung just looked at his best friend who was almost glaring him. Taehyung held both his hands up and asking Jimin what is it now.

"What? Don't act innocent. You have a boyfriend and you didn't tell me? Your best friend?" Jimin said and Taehyung's eyes comically widened.

"Why is that every handsome man is behind you. First your doctor and now him. Tell me the truth how come you have all of them and we have none." Jimin said and Taehyung heard half of it.

The fact that Jae-heon is here was enough to knock Taehyung off of his feet. He knows Jae-heon is handsome but looks are not everything.

And you, I'll see you soon.

He remembers the text and the first part of it? Did Jae-heon do something to Jungkook. Jungkook shouldn't be with him at all, he knows from the start but the fact that he is now involved and it is Taehyung's responsibilty to keep him safe but how?

He barely can save himself how is how suppose to save Jungkook with him .

"Taehyung." Jimin shouted and Taehyung was brought back to reality. He felt Jimin's hand over his face and panicked eyes.

"I'm sorry i was just kidding. Please don't cry." Jimin said .

Cry? Why am i crying? Jungkook he should be safe, i want to see him right now.

Jae-heon you did not touch him. I'll never be able to forgive myself, not again. You can't do it again.

Jungkook why the hell was you there in the first place.

"Taehyung come on. Stop crying i said I'm sorry." Jimin said and wiped the last set of tears. "He is asking for you come on."

No, please I don't want to go. Jungkook.....

And again everything aside he wants Jungkook to save him just like he did last time and he want to be with, be safe in his arms just like he was yesterday.

Jimin pulled him up thinking Taehyung is behaving more weird than usual and he want to know the reason of fear that he saw in his best friend's eyes.

Taehyung was dragged by Jimin inside and then in the dining hall. He has his eyes close shut as if he will close them it'll all go away just like it did yesterday.

He thinks that Jungkook will be there every time he is in danger or he is hurt.ย 

"Taehyungie." The figure called and Taehyung abruptly opened his eyes.

The name was same but the voice was different. It was familiar yet different, a happy type of different.

And in no time Taehyung ran into the warm embrace. The other boy held him strongly in his arms and secure. He pecked his hairs and returned the hug.

"Is your shift over? Are you done?" The boy said and Taehyung didn't broke the hug but nodded.

"Good let's go then. Dinner is on me." Taehyung just nodded and broke the hug just look at his best friend smirking at him.

"I'll tell dad about today's report you go." Jimin said and winked at him. Taehyung wanted to tell him that it's not what he think but again when did Jimin believed him.

Thank you.

"Don't you dare give me this Thank you look. It was a promise and I'm just fulfilling my promise that's it besides it's so boring to go out with Jungkook, he don't talk much andย  when he do he just talk about his work and how sympathetic he is to his patients." The boy said and laughed with his dimple on full display.

Taehyung just looked outside the window. He didn't want to show his fear but he admits that they way Jimin said he was sure that Jae-heon came, and Jungkook....

Jungkook? Whereis he? Is he still in Busan? I hope he didn't leave.

He turned when Namjoon's phone ringed and he tried not to but he saw the caller id. 'Kookie'

"Hey..."

"....."

"I'm on a date."

"....."

"Alright have a safe journey."

"......"

"Yeah I'll be home."

"...."

"Okay." And Namjoon cut the call. He saw Taehyung looking at him and he can sense that wants to know who was on the call.

Well it was just Jungkook so he can tell him but if it was someone else he surely wouldn't have told him.

"It's Kook, he said he is on his way here. He just left Busan." And Taehyung don't know why the fear engulfed his heart.

He has stopped doubting Jae-heon's words long time ago when he....

"We are here." Namjoon announced and Taehyung looked out as they were standing outside the five star hotel that looked way to expensive .

"Don't give me that look, i know what you are thinking. It's my treat so i choose where we will eat." And with that he took him inside.

Taehyung was uncomfortable as he thought he is an outcast here at this expensive place and he felt low. He looked at the menu and everything was damn expensive and things that he only can imagine but at the end he chose the least expensive pasta but still it was expensive in Taehyung's eyes.

They had their dinner and it was more like Namjoon talking and Taehyung laughing. It was his first open exposure with the older and Taehyung can tell how good of a person Namjoon is.

He has not even once gave Taehyung a disgusting look not even push him away when he hugged him and didn't even tried to boss him around.

Taehyung felt free but how is this possible that it lasts. His phone dinged again. He took out and there was another msg from his boyfriend.

Thought you'll stop but you really underestimate me, accept my apologies in advance for what's going to happen.

Taehyung's throat went dry, he felt an urge to cry. Why the hell can't Jae-heon let him live? Why the hell is this happening.

"Let's go." Namjoon said Taehyung just stood up with heavy heart and teary eyes. Namjoon didn't look back so he don't know. The drive to home was silent as Taehyung closed his eyes and Namjoon thought he is asleep.

As they reach home he nudged Taehyung and told him to go to the room and sleep. Taehyung was quick to oblige cz he hold himself in the car but he can't anymore.

Namjoon got a call as he was in the living room playing game on his PS5, and after the call ended he seemed happy. He was on his feet and all ready to go somewhere.

He knocked on Taehyung's door and told him that he is going out and that door is locoed and Jungkook has the passcode he'll get in.

Taehyung nodded and laid down again and Namjoon left the apartment right away.

Taehyung and Jungkook was walking side by side when they hear a car stopping by him. And a figure came out of the car.

Jae-heon.

As soon as they saw him Jungkook held Taehyung's hand and hid him behind himself. Jungkook was quick to kick Jae-heon who dropped to the ground on his back.

Jungkook held Taehyung's hand and started running. They still can hear Jae-heon's grunts and Taehyung wonder why are they running so slow, but it seems like they can't run more fast.

And Taehyung look back and his hold on Jungkook's hand tightens. There stood Jae-heon with a gun in his hand and is pointed at Jungkook.

They are just a feet apart from him but they are running and Jae-heon was still standing. And then Jae-heon fired the gun.

Taehyung feel the pain and it all seem to stop when he see Jungkook's hand over his stomach stained red. He stood infront of Jungkook and took the bullet.

With his shaky figure he looked at Jae-heon who has a smirk over his lips and he again has a gun pointed at them now at Jungkook who isn't even aware of the gun.

And Jae-heon fires again.

"JUNGKOOK-SSIIIIII." Taehyung abruptly sat up, drenched in sweat and breathing heavily. He looked around and he was still in the room.

He huffed in relief when he remembered that there is no one home. Thank God no one knows and no one heard him speaking. Or else it would get ugly.

Jungkook finally reached home and he is hell tired. He got the text from Namjoon that he is out with Jin and he told him about Taehyung and Jungkook was relieved that Taehyung was okay.

Now he just want to sleep and then he'll see what work is pending for tomorrow.

He took the key from under the foot-mat and opened the door.

12:30 the clock reads and the house is in complete silence. Jungkook locked the door dropped his bag on the couch, loosen his tie and took off the blazer.

As usual he left the shoes by the door and made his way to the room. As he was about to open the door he heard a scream of his name.

"JUNGKOOK-SSIIIIII." Jungkook was stunned to his place listening the deep yet horrified scream.

He thought who could it be and then it hit him Taehyung.

But he is mute, he can't speak. Who else could be in the house and who else.....

He got no other choice but to peek inside so he very, very slowly opened the door only a small crack from here he can see inside and the site broke him.

Taehyung was sitting on the bed in his work clothes, both hands hugging his own body and he is trembling and crying.

"Please don't let anyone get hurt because of me again." Jungkook heard a soft and broken plea and he saw Taehyung now looking up at the roof.

He saw Taehyung just sitting and he was so into his thoughts that he don't know Jungkook is looking at him and that he even opened the door.

"He can talk."
