35.

"Lalisa hurry up!"Jungkook yelled as they he was waiting for her to run up with her supplies.

They were currently packing for a covert operation in the Gwadar China base, near Pakistan, as one of their spies, or informants you can say, were taken hostage.

"Geez kook don't blame me that I don't have the willpower you do to be operating at 3 in the fucking morning." Lisa groaned as she walked up with dozens of cartridges.

Every one of the special forces member had been abruptly woken up from their slumber at the middle of the night.

Whether it be in the lodgings or in their own residences nearby, they had rushed here on the mission to retrieve the two officers.

The flight plan and mission procedure had been discussed before hand, and the generals would be in touch through radio, while the Captain was the first in power.

"I guess you aren't used to this after all." He shook his head as they approached the loading deck, where soldiers were suiting up and/or loading other needed equipment in.

"Lisa, Jungkook, I hope you have received your assignments. Lisa, as this is your first out of country extraction procedure, we've placed you on aircraft 2, which is in charge of the outer conflicts. Jungkook, board air craft 1, the extraction team." Jimin read out through the lists as the two nodded saluting each other, about to proceed in to drop the packages.

"Halt. Your identification tags.." Jimin mentioned solemnly as Jungkook and Lisa instinctively looked down in realization.

They had to remove them as precaution just in case they would be killed, to prevent identification of the soldiers.

To the rest of the world they were just soldiers after all.

Slowly, the two took it off as they placed it in Jimin's outstretched palm, as he could only offer the pair a slim smile before walking past to another post. 

The two had quietly proceeded to put their belongings and equipment at the respective areas. 

"Uh see you later then." Lisa muttered turning her heel to go to her own aircraft rather than the Aircraft 1 they were currently aboard, clearly distraught.

Before she could Jungkook had managed to grab her wrist and turn her around to face him, pulling her into a hug as he could feel how stiff she was.

"Be careful, promise me. I'll see you right after okay?" He said softly as he pulled back to look at her.

"I promise, but you too got it?" she stated firmly as he nodded, pulling her in for a short kiss before letting her go. 

"Bye."

"Bye."

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

"So what, you're just suddenly leaving?!" Rosé exclaimed over the phone, after having been jolted from her sleep.

"Hey hey, it's nothing too big, just a small extraction. We'll be back by tomorrow even." Jimin had reassured her, as he stood to a side, clutching his own tag before dropping it in the box.

"Small extraction? I know you...you always sugar coat everything! It's probably a lot worse than you're saying! Hold on... I-I , Im coming!" She exclaimed as he could hear faint ruffling. 

"Chae, don't bother... I'm boarding in another 5 minutes, you'll never make it. I just wanted to tell you over the phone instead of a random text." He said with a sigh, as the shuffling had stopped.

"Don't be reckless. okay? Go quick and come back soon." She had finally said as a smile blossomed on his face.

"Okay. Make Kimchi Jjigae (stew)for me okay?" He said, mentioning his favorite food.

Lieutenant! It's time! someone had yelled as the latter sighed.

"See you soon." he said sincerely as he walked back the sound of the roaring plane engines coming closer and closer as he spotted Taehyung in the distance.

"Soon. I love you"

"I love you too."

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

The plane had zoomed to the location of sky drop faster than expected, as the time had come for them to drop with parachutes at a farther distance before proceeding in.

"Is everyone strapped!" Taehyung yelled over the booming noise of the wind against them at the opening of the deck.

"Yes sir!" they chorused as he shot them a smile.

"Let's give it our all for South Korea. I want us to come back as a whole, got it?" He questioned as he got sincere looks as salutes in return.

"Great! Lets move!" He yelled before they all had jumped through the deck one by one, so quiet that the serene and tranquil atmosphere of the mountain ranges was left as is.

Landing with their parachutes, they quickly disregarded them before grouping up and contacting the aircraft 2 members, and once assured that the plan was in motion they moved in, creeping in the veil of darkness.

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

"What? A mission? Wasn't he here just yesterday?" Jisoo questioned Rosé as they met at Jason's night shift ending, as Rosé had decided to come early not being able to sleep after the previous events.

"Yeah, it was really abrupt. Happened in the span of three hours really." She muttered, blowing on the steam of the coffee she was drinking as the two sat at a couch in the staff lounge.

"Oh geez. Well I'm mega sure they know what their doing. well more than anyone at least. So don't be too worried." Jisoo assured with a smile as Rosé simply nodded, yet with a nervous heart.

"Yeah, he'll be fine." She anxiously sighed as she sipped at her coffee. 

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

"Agh!" Jimin groaned as he collided with the floor, as a result of the bullet penetrating his left leg.

"Jimin!" Taehyung exclaimed, turning around to go to him after signaling the rest to wait on the air craft. 

"Just go! I won't make it! We can't risk more casualties!" He exclaimed as he clutched his leg, as Taehyung shook his head.

"Don't be absurd, that's the last thing I'm doing. I plan on keeping that promise that I will never leave you! But I definitely won't cause anymore casualties." He said with a pitiful smile. seeing the enemies approaching them as he turned back.

"Leave now. Fly away." He ordered the pilot as they all had shocked expressions.

Among their protests, Taehyung had no choice but to cut them off.

"It's an order. Please protect the country well, even without us." He said, as the pilot had no choice but to leave, much to the tear stricken protests of the rest. 

"You idiot..." Jimin sighed as Taehyung pulled the grenade out his pocket. 

"I'm not letting you go to heaven alone." He said as he pulled the pin of the grenade, and those amongst the opposing screams were the last things they heard, before the deafening explosion.
