Chapter 43

                                    

                                          
"The night he was shot, he wasn't dead. He just passed out and you thought that he was dead, but it's actually a good thing because Jungwoon would've killed him for good if he knew-"
"Are you fucking kidding me? He was bleeding in my arms and I watched him die in front of me!" Snapped Taehyung, mind becoming more and more foggy, he is extremely confused.
Jungkook was dead, right? He was-
"He's not dead, Tae!" Yoongi breathed out. "He's not dead, I brought him to Namjoon's house and he took the bullet out of him!"
"But I saw-"
"I know what you saw! But I can assure you that he's very alive!" Yoongi quietly sits down next to Taehyung, "I last saw him two days ago but Jimin and Hoseok passed by earlier, said that Jungkook is fine"
Taehyung stays dumbfounded for a while, still processing the new information.
Is Jungkook really still alive? 
Something inside of Taehyung lightened up at that thought. Hope was it.
He let out a long sigh of relief, his tears of sadness replaced by tears of joy.
"Where is he?" Taehyung wanted to ask so many questions but only that one left his mouth.
His chest is currently heavy, the sudden excitement filling him up.
"He's staying Namjoon's house but he will come get you when time comes" Yoongi rushed to reassure Taehyung at the end of his speech.
He doesn't want Taehyung to get confused or agitated about the reason why Jungkook isn't here yet to free him.
"I don't care if he decides to stay away from this place. He almost died and I don't-"
"Taehyung!" Yoongi ended the latter's rambling. Taehyung was panicking, again. "He's coming back to you but he needs time to make up a plan!"
"What plan?"
"The boys planned to make Junghwoon end up in jail. Jimin and Hoseok passed by to ask me to talk to you about it." Yoongi started and made a little pause before going on. "You need to stay safe and take care of yourself and when the time comes, Jungkook will come get you out of here but for now, don't go against Junghwoon. We don't want him to hurt you for the meantime"
"I don't want Jungkook to come here, hyung! I don't want him to get hurt again because of me!" Taehyung slightly screams. And he meant it! He won't let Jungkook get hurt again because of him. He almost didn't support the thought of Jungkook dying so he can't allow it to happen for a second time.
"Don't worry, Tae. This time, you and Jungkook aren't alone so nothing's going to happen to him or you"

Despite Jin's scolding, Namjoon still went to his parent's house to have a dinner with his dear parents.
I mean, he wanted to talk to his father but Jin categorically disagreed to his idea.
Nonetheless, he is still here, eating dinner with his parents since Jin refused to come with him.
"How have you been, son?" His mother asked after taking a spoon of meat.
And Namjoon who was still deep in his thought snapped out of it.
"I'm good" Namjoon vaguely replies before continuing. "Just a bit agitated these past few days"
"And why is that?" It's his father's turn to ask.
"It's nothing" He nervously smiles. He finds it hard to believe that his father is really up to something. His father who he always looked up to. Is this man in front of him really capable of killing someone?
