Neighborhood (Gguktaekook)

TP POV:

Taehyung's heart was beating out of his chest as he rushed up the stairs. He was sure the twins were behind him but his mind wasn't sound enough to check.

His ears kept ringing the deafening gunshot over and over again along with Jimin's screams.

His breathing was shallow as he hurried up, everything a blur and jumbled. That rainy night kept flashing in his mind. The night he ran from everything, the night he almost lost Jimin.

A sigh of immense relief left when he saw that his best friend was very much alive and whatever that gunshot was, wasn't aimed at Jimin.

But the brunette was scared as hell though. He was on the floor infront of Taehyung's room as he stared at the wide opened door petrified.

He was shaking, that much Taehyung could feel after embracing him. He slowly turned to his room and the state it was in was making his heart hammer even more.

His bedsheets were messed up eventhough he hated an unclean bed. A picture frame was broken beside the desk. The curtain rod was broken and tilted to the left and the window was wide open.

Even at a glance Taehyung knew what could have transpired. "Are you okay Jimin-ah?" Jungkook asked as he crouched down in front of the two best friends hugging the life out of each other. He effectively blocked their view to Taehyung's room.

Jimin blinked as if registering what was asked of him and he nodded. Taehyung could see Jeongguk was inside his room looking out of the window, probably to see what was going on.

Taehyung hadn't realized he was crying until Jimin wiped away his tears. "Hey, I'm okay now Taetae" he said with a small smile.

Just looking at that smile made Taehyung tear up and his bottom lip wobble. "I thought I lost you again Jiminie" he whimpered, voice thick from emotions.

Jimin teared up this time as well and lunged forward and hugged his best friend tighter. "You're the most important to me Jiminie. Promise me you won't leave me" Taehyung said between his cries. "Never. You know we're dying together. Stop saying stupid things" Jimin scolded between his cries too.

Both of them cried even more at the humor. Jungkook sat there looking at them fondly. This was a friendship forged from heaven. Truly.

The doorbell rang and knocks were heard too. It seemed like the person on the other side was panicking. "Jungkook-ah go open the door please" Jeongguk said after getting out of Taehyung's room with a blanket at hand.

Jungkook looked at his brother questioningly but the reassuring nod from the latter was enough to get him to his feet. After Jungkook went to get the door, Jeongguk opened up the big fluffy blanket and covered both of them.

Taehyung and jimin stared at the room unable to believe what had happened. Seeing their gaze unmoving from the messy room the raven decided to slowly close the door. It was to serve as a detachment for them from this scene.

Taehyung smiled up at his boyfriend softly with his red puffy eyes, the raven doing the same. Jimin just laid his head against Taehyung's shoulder without uttering a word.

They heard running and soon a disgruntled Yoongi and Namjoon walked up the stairs, Jungkook slowly trailing behind them.

They all looked at each other as the two elder males calmed down. "We need to talk" Yoongi said once he was stable enough.

"Not here, let's get down to the living room first" Jimin said and slowly started getting up. Jeongguk immediately assisted the male once he saw his still shaking legs. It was understandable since he went through such a shock.

Jungkook helped Taehyung up and took a hold of the blanket as they all walked down to the living room. They all settled down on the couch. The twins sanding beside the single sofa with their back to the kitchen as Yoongi and Namjoon sat across from Taehyung and Jimin.

"Can you tell us what happened?" Yoongi asked softly as he could. Jimin took in a deep breath. Taehyung tightening his arms around him. "I was coming out of my room after changing clothes. When I was walking past Taehyung's room I heard rustling. S-so I walked closer to see what was going on.

But when I opened the door quickly after hearing noise I screamed. T-there was a tall man inside the room. It was only a matter of seconds. The guy dropped the picture frame he was holding and jumped off the window. A-and when I heard the gunshot I collapsed on the floor" Jimin explained and shuffled closer to Taehyung if possible.

"Did you see his face?" Namjoon asked this time. Jimin just shook his head regrettably. "That's alright. We will recover the recording of the cameras in Taehyung's room" Yoongi reassured.

The best friends were again wrapped in the fluffy blanket as the atmosphere grew more tense. "We couldn't catch the man when he was running away. I took a shot at him but unfortunately I missed. I'm sorry" Yoongi was the first one to speak up.

"It's alright hyung" Jimin replied because it truly wasn't Yoongi's fault. "How were you guys here? I thought you went to see a crime scene?" Jungkook asked.

"How'd you know that?" Yoongi asked confused. He pointed to the tv. "We were. But we came back as soon as possible" Namjoon answered.

"Why?" Jeongguk asked this time. There was no reason for them to be back. "You know that strand of hair I talked about?" Yoongi asked. They all nodded. "It matches the DNA of the prints we got from Taehyung's ring box" he answered.

The blond stiffened at the answer. "Wh-what, that means it's the same person?" Jungkook asked bewildered. The elder two nodding their heads in affirmative.

"Also" Yoongi added. The boys looking at him questioningly. "Taehyung, have you ever lost a polaroid picture?" He asked calmly. Taehyung's and Jimin's eyes widened. "ye-yeah" he stuttered. Taehyung had completely forgotten about the picture.

"It was recovered at the recent crime scene" the detective explained. Taehyung was now scared out of his wits. What the hell was going on?

"Once we have the vedio we will plaster the picture of the man everywhere so he can't escape" Namjoon informed after seeing their pale faces.

"How long will it take to recover the video?" Jimin asked in a whisper-like voice. "It shouldn't take long. It will be here any minute now" Yoongi answered.

The twins moved closer to the two best friends and sat on either side of their couch. They all stayed silent and waited. Their breathing haggered from the anxiety and shock.

And true to Yoongi's words his phone ringed a few minutes later. The video being sent to his phone. He watched the video and paused at the moment the culprit was seen. "Send the picture to me so I can start printing it soon" Namjoon requested. Yoongi nodded and turned the small screen towards the four boys across them.

Jeongguk took the device from Yoongi's hands and brought it closer to them. They all scanned the picture. But what was noticable was how both Taehyung and Jimin went paler and more wide-eyed the longer they looked at the picture.

"You two know him?" Yoongi asked seeing their reactions. Taehyung was practically frozen with a petrified expression on his face whereas Jimin looked sickly as if he was about to vomit.

"We know very well who that is" Jimin answered, his voice becoming sickly as well. As if just talking about it made him physically feel pain. "Who is it?" Yoongi asked astonished, all eyes on the two boys.

"Taehyung's Dad"-
