Jungkook's POV

Jungkook sat in the Guardians headquarters once again, going through their computer files until the frustration built up too much to the point that he couldn't handle it anymore.

He slammed his fist down on the table as he ran his hands through his hair and dropped his forehead on the desk.

After everything that happened with Y/n, he couldn't bring himself to focus on anything else.

I really messed up.

He didn't realize at the time that his feelings for Y/n would get in the way of his mission and now he was suffering with consequences of not being able to properly carry out his personal mission and losing Y/n.

He really messed up this time.

The sound of the doors opening rang in his ears as he knew someone had walked in, but he couldn't bring himself to look up just yet.

He heard something being placed on the table. The smell of chicken burger and fries wafted into his nose.

"Jeez Kookie, when was it the last time that you ate? You look like a bone and that's saying a lot for a muscle pig like you." Jimin teased.

"Now's not the time hyung." Jungkook mumbled faced down.

"It's always time to eat, now get up, I refuse to have you dying in that seat. The smell would never leave this place." He teases as he forces to hold Jungkook and gets him to sit up.

After a while of going back and forth, Jungkook eventually gives up and starts to eat the food that his hyung got him. As he continued to eat, one question still bothered him as he looked up at Jimin who was smiling at him.

"I don't get it hyung. I know she probably told you about... Everything that happened between us." He swallows his burger and washes it down with soda. "So why are you here? Wouldn't you try to kill me right now?"

Jimin sighs as he walks around the table to come in front of Jungkook face to face. "Normally, yeah I would. But this isn't something I could just slap you on the wrist for." Jungkook looks up at his hyung almost frozen to his seat wondering what he'll say. "I want to hear it from you and get your side. I know you're not like this Jungkook. What's going on?" Jimin asks.

"That's the thing hyung. I would never be like this."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean exactly that. The whole file. The plan that Y/n found the other day. It wasn't mine." Jungkook finally admitted.

"What?"

"Yeah. That file... I don't know when, but I found it hidden in one of my other papers and when I read through it, I learned what really happened that day my family died and I also knew from that moment that I had to protect Y/n even before I knew her. When I found out that she was your friend you would always talk about, I knew I just had to do my best to do anything to make sure she was safe."

"So are you saying that someone else is planning on possibly targeting Y/n and you're just telling me this now!" Jimin says, now on edge.

"I didn't want to say anything until I can confirm if any suspicious activity was happening around her. That's why I tried my best to make sure I was always around her if anything happened, so far we were lucky and nothing did."

"Wait, Jungkook. Don't you also see what this could mean?" Jungkook stood up and looked up at Jimin again. "If someone planted that file, they purposely did it so you would find it."

"What are you talking about?"

"Think about it Jungkook. The file revealed that it was Y/n's family that killed yours. Obviously they wanted you to see that. They wanted you to somehow possibly act out on this plan for revenge." Jimin suddenly grabbed both of Jungkook's shoulders as he looked him directly in the eye.
