What About Us

Prologue

Jungkook was still sitting on the floor where he was pushed, cradling his injured wrist in one hand. He was about to speak up against Apex when he saw a figure moving behind him. His eyes widened in alarm as he realized it was Yoongi. Jungkook shook his head in disbelief. The mafia leader had actually fallen for Apex's trap. Noticing the boy's change in expression, Apex whipped around, grabbing the smaller male before he could attack. 

Everything happened so fast at the moment, the vision of Apex and Yoongi blurring together. Jungkook was frozen in his spot, trying to analyze what the best way to help Yoongi would be. He tried to reach for his own weapon which was sitting a few feet away, immediately letting out a soft whimper of pain as he accidentally moved his wrist. Yoongi immediately glanced over, showing vulnerability as he dropped his defenses. 

Within seconds, Apex had him pressed up against the wall, his arms behind his back as he pushed his face into the brick. He had an arm against his back to help keep the mafia leader in place as he grabbed a gun from inside of his jacket. Yoongi was struggling and trying to move the taller male off of him but froze. Apex now had the gun pointed right at Jungkook. The barrel of the gun pressed tightly against his forehead. "Keep moving and I'll shoot your little boy toy." Yoongi let out a low chuckle as he watched. Jungkook looked at Yoongi in confusion as tears began to well in his eyes, scared of what might occur. What about this situation was funny? Was there something he missed?

"You think I really cared for him? He means nothing to me. It was all part of my plan to lure you out of hiding. I'm surprised it worked as well as it did. Seems like the psycho has a heart after all," Yoongi smirked, paying no attention to Jungkook's expression. He didn't notice the hurt on the boy's face. But if he was telling the truth, he didn't care how the words would affect the younger.

Infuriated with the remark, Apex pointed the gun at Yoongi's heart without hesitation and pulled the trigger.

Everything started that one fateful day..
