Jungkook groaned as he got up from the... bed? He realised that he was back in the village, probably in the mini-hospital they had. He saw that he had stitches on his arm and bandages on the places that he had gotten hurt.

"Oh, you are awake," the doctor exclaimed as he gave jungkook a glass of water.

"How did I end up here? I am supposed to be dead,"

"Taehyung found you right on time so we were able to save you," Jungkook's eyes went side-ward to Taehyung who was sleeping peacefully on one of the chairs that stood a couple of feet away from the bed.

"How long was I out?"

"A day," Jungkook also had found out that the other members were still in the southern province. Even In-jae had gone there because further steps needed to be discussed. Taehyung had come back to get something that In-jae had left behind.

"You have to be more careful especially if you do harder spells that you aren't ready for. Jungkook, you might die and you almost did. It looks like you did some powerful spell and then was attacked," the doctor told, he seemed to be quite well-versed in Jungkook's powers. Obviously he would be, he was one of In-jae's closest friends.

The doctor slightly pushed the collar of Jungkook's t-shirt, revealing a couple of black veins decorating his chest above the top of his tattoo. Jungkook's eyes widened. 'Maybe it was because of the Avalanche' Jungkook thought. He realised that with In-jae, he had only gotten as far as taking control of 30% of his powers. summoning the avalanche must have been on an entirely new level.

"OK, I will heed to your advice," Jungkook told, covering up his chest.

"Have plenty of food and fluids so you can regain your energy, and try to not do anything stupid until those stitches come off," the doctor told before leaving. Jungkook sighed before dropping his head on the pillow. He hadnt felt this powerless in awhile, the ability to do nothing but eat.

Jungkook sat up on the bed, having the sudden urge to get some fresh air. Just as he was about to leave the room with a blanket hanging of his back, he stopped next to Taehyung who was sleeping soundly.

Jungkook looked at him. He laid one hand on Taehyung's cheek as tears prickled the corner of his eyes.

"Thanks for saving me...... again," Jungkook whispered. He took he blanket off his back and used it to cover Taehyung. Though it was Namjoon's parents who took him in, it was Taehyung who had found the distraught  child calling for his dead father with his sister in his arms who had some kind of foam coming out of her mouth.

Taehyung opened his eyes after jungkook had left and snuggled the blanket with a sad smile.

------------------

With every success and failure, Jungkook felt himself take a step closer to death and this, by far was the longest step he had taken. He hugged himself tighter as he stepped out into the balconey. It was a beautiful tonight. He guessed that this was probably the last time he would be at peace as the next attack would be aimed at the capital.

The moon was shining bright over head. Two big stars and one small star that was clustered together caught his eye as it remined him of Honey, Elena and Philip. The closest thing he had to a family. Truth be told, he thought about them every day. If it werent for him, they wouldnt be dead. They would be alive and happy with their baby. Philip wouldve been able to experience the beauties of childhood and family.

Everyday the guilt weighed him down. It once went to a point that it was literally suffocating him. He could never forget what that beautiful couple had done for him. And because of this, he knew that before he died, Chanmin had to be dead.
