*Recap*

      Jungkook tsked, "Poor RM, you're in no condition to fight. And anyway, I never said I would do it alone."

   Movement beyond Jungkook catches Jimin's eye and he look past him. People are gathering along the edge of the manor grounds, and they're coming this way.

   'Who... No.. No, it can't be..' Jimin recognised them. Jungkook brought the Apostles here.

----------+++++----------

   As they stare in horror at the approaching Apostles, Jungkook lunged for Jimin. 'No..!'

   "Get back!" Suga's voice startled Jimin.

   "Stay away from him!" V shouted, jumping in between Jimin and Jungkook just in time, shielding Jimin from Jungkook's attack.

   Suga grabbed Jimin's shoulders and peered at him anxiously. "Are you hurt?"

   "I'm fine now, but what are you guys doing here?" Jimin looked at the other three dragons.

   "We sensed danger and thought we should return immediately." Jin joined them, standing between Jimin and Jungkook.

   "You came just in time." Jimin sighed, thankful.

   "Arghhh.." Jungkook grunted furiously.

   "Jungkook.." V seemed horror-stricken as he beholds Jungkook in his new form. "What happened to you..?"

   "You'd ask me that?" Jungkook frowned, "How dare you ask me that when it's all your fault?!"

   V flinched.

   'Is he still trying to blame him, even now?' Jimin blinked up at Jungkook.

   "I loved you, V... I couldn't stand the thought of dying before you and never seeing you again. If only we could have had a Shared Destiny, then everything would have been fine!" Jungkook muttered with trembling hands.

   "I... " V looked to his side, avoiding Jungkook's gaze.

   "But you.. you couldn't commit to that.. so I had no choice!" His voice grew desperate. "Yes, I tricked RM into killing a dragon so that I could obtain it's blood-- but only because I wanted to be with you!" He yelled.

   "Now you've become this creature.. all because of me.." V whimpered looking at the ground.

   'He's letting Jungkook get to him again! None of this is V's fault!' Jimin turned his furious glare toward Jungkook, too angry now to still be afraid. "Don't you dare blame V."

   "But if it wasn't for him--" Jungkook started.. but Jimin cut him off.

   "What, you're blaming him for you falling in love with him and not wanting to be apart? Or are you mad that he wasn't ready to bind his life to yours in a Shared Destiny?" Jimin raised his brow.

   "He should have been!" Jungkook frowned.

   "That's not your place to decide." Jimin shook his head.
