Third Person POV

"I told you Hyung, I came back for you guys."

"You came back and you caused all these troubles?" Jungkook asked as he couldn't understand why Hobi wanna come back and ruin their lives this way.

"Don't get me wrong Kookie. I love my job, but I also love and missed you guys. I did say I am a mafia leader, but I didn't say I was a criminal that uses the drug to abuse young people."

"So what? You think that makes you a noble kind of mafia?" V was irritated with Hoseok trying to be all sweet and nice in front of them, more precisely with Jungkook.

"Now look who is speaking. Aren't you and your two brothers also work as underground mafias? Whatever that shit is. You think killing is not a sin if you kill the bad guys?"

V's jaw tensed at Hosoek as he purposely mocked him and his brothers.

"Omg, so Yoongi Hyung and you guys are also the bad guys??" Suga turned and saw Jimin eyeing him with hatred and disgust.

"J-Jimin..we.."

"Shut up Suga, don't think you can easily attach yourself to my brother like that. Same goes to you V and RM."

Hosoek was being protective. The other 3 brothers who were still seated on the ground grew a little darker in shades of red as they thought about their personal interactions with the mafia brothers.

"I came back to stop the drug dealings. I needed to know who is using my name to conquer the underworld tradings here. It took me some time but I guess thanks to you 3, I found out PHS and his asshole of an assistance James are the culprits."

"So they knew you were coming?" RM clarified.

"They knew but they didn't know the way I handle my business. They thought I am here to join their business deals and make it more profitable."

"Then why did you act like you were in a coma?" Suga asked.

"That so I can clearly identify who is V, Suga, and RM. I must say, I heard a lot about you guys." Hoseok smirked at them. The mafia brothers were taken back a little but they didn't say anything.

"Oh, so you assholes think it's ok to do whatever shitty mafia business and we have to suffer for it?" Jin's earlier sadness has now turned to anger.

RM was gulping in fear, more than he fears the gang leader in front of him.

"Jin...babe.." RM stepped closer to him trying to pacify his lover.

"STAND THERE KIM NAMJOON. DO NOT COME NEAR ME AND BABE ME."

"You, Jung Hosoek. I don't give a shit who you are, but for you have lied to me and our brothers, you better be sorry for your little ass that we are no longer your family."

Hoseok started to panic, for all he wanted to be his family, his brothers.

"H-hyung..."

"Shut up Hoseok, you lost the rights. You are not my brother anymore. I am taking them both back to MY house and you're not welcomed. You may spend your time with your new-found mafia brothers for all I care."

Jungkook was crying but he was deeply saddened by all these. He was broken. He didn't know he was manipulated by PHS to kidnap V, and it turns out a bigger plot twist as Hoseok being the real gang leader.

The younger was conflicted, he didn't know what to comprehend anymore. So, he quietly obeyed Jin and carried Jimin in his arms as they made their way out.

Jin was limping in pain throughout his body, he was broken and so does Jimin. He took one last look at Yoongi with eyes filled with tears as he buried his face into Jungkook's chest.

"Stay away from us. All of you." Jin warned one last time as he walked out with his brothers.

V and Jungkook shared one last look where the older of the two was still showing no emotion in his face. The younger decided that it's better for them to depart this way than to hurt each other further.

Jungkook still hated the fact that he fell for Tae and he still dislikes the authoritative nature the older radiates on him.

Jungkook didn't utter any words, his eyes did the work. He stared back at V and replaced his initial somber with disgust and hatred as he turned his back on the older.

There stood V, arms crossed, jaw clenched...heartbroken...he lost. He lost the bunny. Again.

As the brothers walked out of the old building, they realized they had no vehicles available for them to make their way home. They don't even know how to get out of the hell hole.

So they walked on foot. Jin was supporting himself by holding on Jungkook and the younger was cradling poor Jimin in his arms.

"I guess thanks to all your hard work in the gym that you're able to carry me now Jungkookie."

Jimin let out a very faint chuckle while arms wrapped strongly around on the younger's neck.

"I guess so."

Jimin wanted to cheer up the mood but eventually, he got a very upsetting reply from Jungkook and no reaction from Jin. He sulked deeply and just resorted to resting while he can before the younger grew tired.

After what seemed like miles and miles of walk, as the sky was dipping into darkness, the brothers came across the main road.

"Kookie, put me down, I can stand for a while. Your arms must be killing you."

"Oh its fine Hyung, I'm ok. You're injured."

"Jungkook, put Jimin down, he can hold onto me, you need to rest."

Jungkook nodded at Jin and he didn't realize how weak his arms gotten once he felt the numbness taking over after the little guy was free of his arms.

"I will try to stop a car for a ride."

Jimin nodded while he held onto Jin supporting himself. Jungkook said a silent prayer as he walked ahead to the road and stood there inspecting incoming cars along their way.

He saw a few cars passing by but they were all female drives hence he didn't want to stop them. Afraid they might feel insecure about 3 young men asking for a lift by the road, looking quite disheveled in appearance.

Hence, he waited a little longer, slowly growing tired. He turned to look back at his brothers and his heart clenched when he saw Jin and Jimin were curled up on the ground, practically falling asleep.

"Sigh...I need to get a ride, please. Please..." He clasped his hand wished for one last time.

I think God favors his little bunny a lot. As Jungkook opened his eyes again, he saw a range rover was driving by and to his luck, he saw a middle-aged man driving it alone.

"THANK GOD!! HELLO....HELLO!!!"

Jungkook started yelling and waving his hands in the air trying to get the driver's attention.

To his heart's content, the car eventually stopped and Jungkook politely requested a lift saying one of his brothers hurt himself while they went some crazy hiking earlier in the woods and they forgot their way out.

Although the man was a bit suspicious looking at them all geared up in nothing like a person would wear during hiking, he still gave in and drove them out of the hell hole seeing one of them was hurt.

.

It took about one hour for them to reach their cafe. Jin decided it's better for them to pick up Jin's car that was left abandoned at the cafe when they all went there to open the cafe earlier.

That was before all four of them (Jin, Jimin, RM, and Suga) were ambushed and abducted by the now-dead James.

"Hyung, you sure you can drive?" Jungkook said as he was concerned for his brother. Jin looked like he could pass out any second.

"I got this. You just hold Jimin. Get in the back seat."

Jungkook nodded and decided to hold onto Jimin. The little guy passed out on their way back and has been sleeping on Jungkook since then.

The drive back home was quick but filled with indescribable emotions. No one said anything and Jungkook thought it was ok to stay silent for a while as their heads cleared off.

As Jin pulled in their front porch, Jimin was stirring in his sleep. He seemed uncomfortable and Jungkook signaled Jin to quickly assist him to bring the injured one back to his room.

Jin worked hard to make sure Jimin was comfortable after the older cleaned him and put him in something soft and comfy.

It took a while, but after some time, Jimin was finally back to sleeping peacefully as Jin and Jungkook fell on the ground in Jimin's room feeling the exhaustion taking over.

They sat there in silence for a while until one of them decided to break it.

"Jungkookie, go clean yourself up and I will prepare something for you to eat."

The younger was startled by the sudden voice blooming in the room after hours of escaping in the silence of their own thoughts.

"Urm, it's fine Hyung. I am not hungry."

"Jungkook, please don't make it difficult for me. I don't need you to fell sick, you need to eat and rest for a bit."

"B-but Hyung..."

"Jungkook, can you please listen to Hyungie?" Jin was tired but he was still concerned about his little brother. He doesn't know how Jungkook ended up with Taehyung in the basement looking for them but for now, he just needed to ensure the younger is well rested before anything else.

"Ok."

"Good, now go and take a shower. I will go to the kitchen and prepare something for you."

Jungkook nodded and headed to his room.

Once Jin felt the younger's presence left the room, he broke down. He started to dig deep into the ground and cried his heart out. He lost it.

Jin muffled his cry by holding onto his mouth, not allowing the screams to be heard. He didn't want to wake up the sleeping Jimin nor does he want to alert the tired Jungkook whom he sent out to freshen up.

As Jimin lay on the bed, trapped in his semi-conscious state, he did not let the soft muffles of cry that radiating through the room go unnoticed. He pressed his lips together as warm tears stream down his cheeks wetting the pillow.

If only the two could pay attention a little bit more, they would have realized that their little brother was standing by the door, creeping his sight into the room catching his older brother defeated on the ground and Jimin accompanying the cry silently on his bed.

With tears filling his eyes and flushing down his cheeks, Jungkook took quiet steps and retrieved back to his room silently. He sat at the end of his bed and stared into the thin air allowing his emotion to flow.

"Taehyung...why are you doing this to me? My heart can't take it."

Jungkook wrapped his knees close to his chest as he rocked back and forth. Divided between the mind and heart about wanting his brothers or chasing after his love.

If only he can call it love.
