"Y/n."

Jungkook's voice is so soothing, that when he tries to wake you up, it only makes you more sleepy. Sometimes you wonder what his singing voice sounds like, but you won't ask him since you won't let him know that you think about his voice a lot.

"Y/n, wake up."

The moment you open your eyes and become aware of your surroundings, your fingers burn. Jungkook reaches over and pokes your cheek. "Come on sleepy head," he says. "I gotta go back there and check if Jimin is still alive. Help me out here will you?"

The feeling of calm and comfort is gone.

You sit up straight, recalling everything that happened within the last two hours. You didn't realize how tired you were until you had to wake up.

"There she is," Jungkook says. You look over at him as he twists the car keys and the car turns off. The silence that follows is deafening. Every little sound that Jungkook makes is louder now.

The jangle of the keys as he pulls them out of the ignition and puts them in his pocket. The sound of the car door opening and Jungkook stepping out. The sound of it slamming shut and leaving you in the silence. The sound of Jimin's light, barely audible breathing.

You rub your eyes, watching Jungkook through the window as he walks around the car to your side and opens your door. "Come on," he urges. "If you get up now, you can get inside and put on nice pajamas and have a comfy bed and warm blankets."

You unbuckle your seatbelt and twist around, legs dangling out the car door. When your calf hits the bottom edge of the car, you get a jarring, painful reminder of the wound there. You gasp and lift your leg back up, grimacing.

You look in the back seat, where Jimin is still sleeping peacefully. He's alive and still breathing. You can tell because of an overhanging string of hair in his face that moves as he breathes.

Jungkook opens the back door and shakes Jimin's shoulders, gently urging him to wake up too. Jimin groans and slaps Jungkook's hand away.

You push yourself out of your seat and land on your feet outside, then shut the car door. Your calf hurts, but you're almost inside. You can hold off for a little longer.

You walk to Yoongi's porch and try the door. Locked. So you ring the doorbell. Yoongi answers quickly, probably anxious to see you.

"Y/n!" He opens the screen door and gives you a hug. "How did it go? Where are the others?"

"It was a disaster," you answer shortly. "Jimin needs medical attention. Jungkook's trying to wake him up."

"I- what happened?"

"Bullet grazed him. He'll be fine but there's a lot of blood."

Yoongi nods. "Hey Seohee?" He calls.

Seohee. A feeling of pure rage sweeps through you and wakes you up the rest of the way. Seohee called them. That's how they caught you. There's no other way. That traitor!

"Yeah?" Seohee calls from inside the house.

"Jimin's hurt!" Yoongi replies. "We need medical supplies!"

"On it!"

Yoongi looks at you. "Why are you glaring at me?"

"Did you keep your eye on her all night?" You ask seriously. "Every. Single. Moment of tonight?"
