The members watched as Namjoon followed Yoongi outside. Yoongi didn't care that it was already dark out.

"Um, should we just leave them?" Hobi asked.

"Yes," Jin replied.

"Will Yoongi hyung be okay?" Jimin asked.

"Yoongi is the toughest one here. He'll be fine," Jin said reassuringly.

They decided they already wanted to go back into Yoongi's room with their maknae's. They didn't want to be away from them. They all re-gathered around them on the bed and cuddled each other. The room became filled with quiet cries and sniffling as the older members became overcome with more guilt. They felt like they had failed their two youngest. Hobi was trying not to lose his mind, he had fully convinced himself this was all his fault.

"I should've stopped them. I knew they were going to the dock. I knew. And I didn't go with them. I just left them alone. I should have been watching them!" Hobi could no longer control his tears as he wrapped his arms around the sleeping Jungkook and cried into his back. "I failed you. I am so sorry."

Jin hated seeing Hobi beat himself up so much. He sat next to him and rubbed his back. "It's not your fault. You thought Namjoon had his eye on them. You couldn't have known any of that was going to happen. It's not your fault Hobi. You're really the one who saved them. Nobody else would have known if you didn't start screaming."

Hobi didn't have a reply, he still felt guilty. He quietly held Jungkook as he cried. He could hear and feel Jungkook take in short, raspy breaths. He reached his hand out across Jungkook and placed it on Taehyungs chest. His breaths were short and raspy too.

"They aren't breathing right." Hobi was starting to panic again. Jimin and Jin both placed their hands on the maknae's to see what Hobi was talking about.

"They aren't going to. They both just drowned. It's probably going to take a little while for all the water to get out of their lungs." Jimin was trying to hide his own concern.

"Could they still drown on land if there's water in their lungs?" Hobi wasn't any less panicked.

"Sometimes, yeah..." Jin said, realizing the two youngest were still at risk.

"What do we do?! How do we make sure that doesn't happen?!" Hobi felt helpless.

"I don't know! We just have to watch them and make sure it doesn't! If it does maybe they need CPR or something. I don't know Hobi." Jin was in tears now. He also felt like a failure. He couldn't keep his maknae's safe and now he couldn't stop Hobi from panicking either. Why am I such a terrible hyung?

Jimin wrapped his arms tightly around Taehyung while also holding Jungkook's hand. He felt so protective. He never wanted to leave them, or even close his eyes. He kept watching their chests go up and down to make sure they were both still breathing.

Jin cuddled on top of Hobi and Jungkook. He placed his head on Jungkook's chest, positioning himself to hear his heartbeat. He needed to hear his maknae's heartbeat. There was no greater fear in the world than earlier when giving CPR, he couldn't feel his heartbeat. They all lay there quietly, watching the two rest. Making sure they could hear them breathing.

Yoongi had walked a pretty far distance away from the house, Namjoon following him, before stopping. Yoongi turned and looked at Namjoon without saying a word.

They stared at each other, until Yoongi walked up to Namjoon and punched him as hard as he could right in the face.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Namjoon shouted at him, stumbling backwards a bit.

Namjoon was a lot bigger than Yoongi, but Yoongi had an internal strength that he could greatly manifest psychically when he needed to. He was the only member not intimidated by their leader lately.

"There is no way you didn't know!" Yoongi began screaming in his face. "What are you trying to do?! I'll tell you what, trying to kill them apparently! What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"How many times do I have to tell you, I didn't see them fall into the damn water?!" This was the first time Namjoon began to show any emotion since before the accident happened.

I have to make him believe me. He won't let me near Jungkook again if he thinks I let him drown on purpose. I can't kill him if I can't get near him. Namjoon knew he had to lie through his teeth.

"Bullshit Namjoon! Hobi said you were standing right at the window! You had a perfect view of the dock. One second they're there, and the next they're not. You're telling me you didn't see them magically disappear in an instant, or even wonder what happened to them when they weren't there?! You seriously expect me to believe that?!"

"I was doing the damn dishes Yoongi! I don't have a million eyes! I can't glue my eyeballs to them to see where they are every second of every day of my damn life!"

"You know what, fine. Let's say you didn't see them fall in, which I still don't believe . You know what else you didn't do?"

"Enlighten me," Namjoon scoffed.

"Try to help them! At all! What the hell were you doing?! We all jumped in to help them except you, you just stood there and watched the entire time! Jungkook was lifeless! As in not breathing! He was laying there dying and you didn't say or do shit! You didn't even act like you cared! Do their lives suddenly just mean nothing to you?!" Yoongi couldn't hold back his tears of frustration.

"I...I was in shock. I didn't know what to say or do. I thought they were both about to die. I didn't...I didn't know what to do. I'm sorry."

Yoongi wasn't buying into anything Namjoon was saying, and suddenly his anger turned into sadness. "I don't understand. What's happening to you? How could you let them get hurt like that? And Jungkookie...this whole time we've been here you've been so bad to him."

"That's not true! I already apologized to him and haven't been mean to him since! You're making shit up now!"

"You were going to let him drown! I don't understand. What did he ever do to you? Is it because he's the youngest? Or because he's smaller than you? The least you could do is go after someone your own damn size if you're really out here trying to hurt people. He's our little brother! Your little brother! They both are! Seriously what the hell is your problem?! Our job as hyungs is to protect them, not hurt them!"

Namjoon let tears fall from his eyes.

"Save the crocodile tears, I don't need your bullshit."

"Yoongi. I know I fucked up. I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt them, either of them. I panicked and didn't know what to do. You have to believe me. I would never hurt them. You know how much I care about them. Please, believe me," Namjoon cried.

"You know what Namjoon? I don't know what to believe from you anymore. However, one thing I do believe is that you're trying to hurt somebody and I'm starting to see you as a threat, and you know I will do anything to protect the people I love and care about."

Yoongi got back up in Namjoon's face. "Stay away from Jungkook. And Taehyung. Stay away from all of us until we get home and you go see a damn doctor."

"Is that a threat, or a warning?" Namjoon stared at Yoongi who was still right in his face.

"That's a threat. Do you understand me?" Yoongi wasn't going anywhere until Namjoon understood.

"Yes."

And with that, Yoongi pushed Namjoon out of his way and headed back to the house.

Namjoon watched his hyung disappear. Shit.
