JUNGKOOK POV

I want to leave.

I'm just so tired.

I want to take a rest.

There's a lot of pressure and I don't know where to start.

"I'm not weak like you!"

Jin-hyung.

Jin-hyung is weak. He has a weak body that gets cold everytime and loses weight every day. He is weak. So I wanted to be with him all the time. But he's mad at me now. His whole presence kept me going and now, because of all this pressure, I lost him.

I just want to go home to my parents and Bam. But I can't get out of this stall.

There's a lot of people outside. Some sesangs are also outside and I'm scared. I managed to lock the door of this public restroom on the train station. But I'm now traumatized with the banging of the door from people calling my name.

I just want to go home. I want to see Jin-hyung.

After an hour, I heard the door open. Oh no. Did they manage to get the key. How do I fight for myself.

"JK?"

I heard a familiar voice. It was Jin-hyung.

Jin: Come out, JK.
JK: How did you find me?
Jin: I followed some trending news on twitter. They said that a korean idol is stuck on a train station somewhere. Are you going home?
JK: Yes. Go away.
Jin: I brought a car. I'll take you home.
JK: No! I don't want to go back!
Jin: I didn't mean in our house.
JK: Just go away. I don't want to see you. Leave me alone. You don't understand. You cannot understand me. Just go.
Jin: Why? Why can't I understand?
JK: You're not me! You don't understand the pressure I feel. You cannot understand me!
Jin: Why? Is it because you're more famous?
JK: w-what?

Jin: Is it because you're a better performer than me?

No. Stop saying that.

Jin: You're more popular. You dance better. You're the first one with the single album.

No. Stop.

Jin: I can't understand you because I'm weak. I'm not good at what I'm doing.

JK: Jin-hyung..
Jin: I understand why you feel this way, JK. And I know that I'm no better than you. I practice more than you guys. I have to memorize much longer. I'm not capable of writing my own music. You're right.
JK: That's not—
Jin: No, this is what you mean. I know. And you're right.
JK: Jin-hyung—
Jin: But I can support you guys. I can help in anyway. Cook your favorite food. Make you laugh when things are getting out of hand. Help in whatever I can.

Then Jin forced the bathroom stall open. I saw him and tears are just piling in my eyes. He grabbed my hand.

Jin: Go to Busan. But please let me take you there. I have the car outside. No driver. Just you and me. I'm going to take you there.

Jin pulled me and put his cap on me. And his mask. And his big jacket. It's freezing.

JK: No. We can't go outside.
Jin: Hyung will protect you. Just trust me.

We stood by the door. Jin wrapped his arm around me.

Jin: I'm going to take you to Busan. And you're going to rest there. When you come back, everything's going to be okay. You guys will perform on stage and you will release your album.
JK: What do you mean us?
Jin: Let's go, JK.

Jin hyung opened the door and swarm of people was waiting. The guards managed to push some out of the way. But we still have to run. When we reached the car, a sesang found us and wanted to grab me.

Jin: JK, hurry get in the car!
JK: No! What about—

Jin pushed me inside and locked the door. I was looking from inside and I saw people pushing him.

JK: Jin-hyung!! Jin-hyung!! No!

Jin was getting pushed and slammed in the door. Then I saw a sesang grab a knife.

JK: No! Jin-hyung!

Then I heard a gunshot. I don't know what to do. Then the door opened and our manager arrived.

Manager: We have to take Jin to the hospital. I think he broke his shoulder and arm. He was almost stabbed.

Jin was curled up because of pain and I held him.

JK: Jin-hyung. Let's go to the hospital.
Jin: No! Let's go to Busan. I'm fine.
JK: No!
Jin: JK! This is the only thing I can do for you. Please let me take you to Busan.
JK: No. Please. Please stop. Please. Please stop. Please let's go home. To our dorm. I know nurses will be there. Please let's go home. Please. I don't want you to get hurt anymore, please.
Jin: Okay. Let's go home. 

We dropped by the hospital before going home. Jin-hyung has some major arm and shoulder damages that made him need a sling. He was also full of bruises, bite marks, scratches, and wounds. It was 9pm in the evening and then we went home.

In the car, I was holding him tightly and crying hard. What will I do? What if it damages him permanently? Jin was weak and I wanted to be with him all the time, but this time, I was and I wasn't able to do anything. It was bad. I can't stop crying and I don't know how to face the others.

Jin: JK, stop crying. Hyung loves you.

I kissed Jin hyung's face all over and hugged him.

When we got in the parking, Suga hyung and Jimin were waiting for us.

[Present]

Jimin: Jin-hyung eloping with JK went trending almost 3 days with all the conspiracy theories. But to clear to you guys, yes it was JK and Jin

Yoongi: But no they weren't eloping.

Jimin: Yea. Jin went to find JK and brought him back home. A lot of damages has been done to Jin-hyung and he was really injured badly. He wasn't able to do the concert.

JIMIN NARRATIVE

Our manager called us and told us what happend to Jin. We wanted to go down and wait for them but we are also scared Jin-hyung might get mad.

Yoongi: I'll go down. You guys wait here.
Jimin: Please let me come with you.

So we both went down and waited for them.

10pm. When they arrived, the car door opened and we saw JK crying so much while hugging Jin.

Manager: JK, we're here. It's safe. You can let go now.
JK: No! Someone might be waiting for us.
Manager: We're in the dorm. Let go now, JK. Jin needs to rest.
JK: No!
Manager: JK, pleas—
Yoongi: JK! Let go of Jin or I'll blame you for the rest of our lives if something happens to him!

JK looked at Suga and cried more.

Jimin: Calm down, Suga-hyung.
Yoongi: No! This is all his fault. He went out not saying anything and now he's crying like someone is going to be taken from him. This is all your fault and you are to be blamed for this!

JK let Jin go and we grabbed him and helped him to go his bedroom. Upstairs, the manager talked to each member and put JK last.

We placed Jin on his bed and let him rest. Suga sat beside him and I sat across them. Then, we fell asleep.
