fuck STARY_NAMJOON uwu

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

Jungkook hurried straight to the hotel after school, hoping the phone's Hoseok had ordered for them had arrived so they could all communicate again.

Namjoon had mentioned going to see Seokjin last night, and Jungkook was praying the genius had managed to convince Seokjin to come back to them.

They needed him and Jimin before they could all work on getting Yoongi and the alters-

He stopped suddenly, whipping his head around to see-

-nothing.

He frowned, listening intently for any more sounds like he could have sworn he had heard just behind him.

The trees swayed in the wind, and a car drove past, but that was it.

He slowly turned back around, and resumed running, a little faster this time.

-

Devastation hit him hard when Namjoon broke the news to him.

"I tried." Namjoon had his head in his hands. "Whatever they did to his brain, they did a lot of, and repeatedly. I don't know if it's even possible to help him anymore. We might have to-"

"Don't say that." Taehyung ordered sharply. "We will save him."

"Tete's right." Jungkook walked to the table, where a small package sat. "One small meeting wasn't going to un-brainwash him. We just need more time with him, and to figure out exactly what they did so we can undo it, bit by bit. Meanwhile, look on the brightside- the phones are in!"

He tossed one to each of them, and they all programmed them on, sharing their new phone numbers.

Taehyung immediately downloaded a bunch of idle apps.

Namjoon, wanting to have a win after losing Seokjin, jumped to his feet. "Let me talk to Jimin, see if I can't threaten that Cho guy into calling off the engagement."

Jungkook's heart clenched when he pictured his baby and what Jimin must be going through when he was alone with someone like Cho.

"I'm coming too." Taehyung decided. "The more the merrier!"

"Let's wait for Hoseok." Namjoon said. "He should be over soon. His parents won't let him take Cassie anymore so he has to walk now."

"Yours and Seokjin's parents are terrible, but Hobi's are animals!" Taehyung shuddered at the thought of having butler privilege's revoked.

-

"So what's the plan?" Hoseok punched his fist as they walked up the sidewalk to Cho's. "Me and Tae hold him down while Julybug and Gukks go ham on his ass?"

"July?" Namjoon blinked.

"No, we can't hurt him." Jungkook warned them. "We'll get arrested for assault, and we'll be the ones taken away instead of Cho."

"He's right." Namjoon sighed. "We need to get Jimin away from him, clear his head from all those lies so he can think for himself. I bet that asshole is constantly lying and forcing Jimin into subspace so he can't leave the relationship."

"I just need a few minutes to talk to Jimin, unbothered." Jungkook thought. "I can reach him if I have just a minute to get through to him without Cho bursting in and ruining it."

"Us three will distract him and Jungkook, go around back and see if there's any doors or windows unlocked." Namjoon planned.

Jungkook nodded, breaking away from the group as they neared the house.
