Forgive but never forget (Book 2 of Always At War) (Completed)

Chapter 15.

Hoseok's POV 

When we got back to my apartment, somehow, someway, the boys made it here with Amelia. However, Mr. Hayes had me. 

"You pull that trigger and I pull mine." He said as he had his gun pressed against my head. I heard the click indicating that it was loaded and ready to fire. All that matters is that my family is safe, I know they are because we are at my family's home and only the boys are here. 

"Is my family safe?" I asked them, now I'm not as afraid as before when they nodded their heads. I've done my part. 

"Shut up! They won't let me hurt you so they can't hurt me." Mr. Hayes said as he pressed the gun even more. I could see fear in their eyes, except Jungkook's. He was the most determined one in this situation. And he was in the front. 

"Give up, we are more than you are, we are stronger than you'll ever be." Jungkook said as he kept his gun pointed at Mr. Hayes. 

"Oh as long as I have something up my sleeve, I won't ever give up. And right now, I think I have an advantage. You did all of this for Hoseok, didn't you? What happens if I pull this trigger? It will all go to waste." 

"Stop, please." Amelia suddenly said as she was stepping in front of Jungkook. "Let him be, if you want me you can have me, just let them be." I look at Jungkook to see that he was already taking Amelia away from Mr. Hayes. She can't give up for me, not again. 

"Just let me go." I told Jungkook. He looks at me now with different eyes, not determined ones, but confused ones. "Pull the trigger and let him pull his trigger too." 

Realization hit Jk as he saw what I meant. That's the only way we'll be able to win. 

"You can't be serious-" 

"It's the only way Jungkook. We are out of options." I said as I could feel my eyes begin to water, but I can't show weakness. I know that if I show how truly scared I am, they won't be able to do it. 

"YES YOU HAVE OPTIONS! Give me Amelia and I'll give you Hoseok." Mr. Hayes said as he had one arm extended so Amelia would take it. 

"Don't do it Amelia, don't do it for me. Don't do it." I repeated as I saw it in her eyes she wanted to do it. "Let me go." 

"But- how I'm I gonna let you go?" She said as she was looking straight at my eyes. 

"Like this." I nodded to Jungkook, since he read my mind and pulled his trigger. I was fast enough to dodge Mr. Hayes trigger just in time, going straight to Amelia's arms. Closing my eyes as I felt everything still, even though so many things were happening all around, policemen coming to my family's home with my family, all I could do was hug Amelia tighter. 

"I could never let you go Hobi." Amelia said as she hugged me tighter. I could feel her tears on my shoulders. I can't believe that worked. 

"Did we win?" She asked me as she didn't let me go either. 

"We won." I confirmed and when I separated from the hug, I look at her and saw hopefulness in her eyes. But then, we heard another trigger, no one was expecting. 

"JUNGKOOK!" I heard Jin yell and everything was chaos again. I look at my back to see that Jungkook has stepped in front of me, now on the ground. 

How was I able to react? I have no idea, but as I made my way to the ground, to turn him around, I saw that the bullet has been pointed at his stomach, it went right through his stomach. 

"Jungkook, what have you done?" I ask him as tears began to stream down my face, now unable to stop them. 

Jungkook had his eyes open a bit, a smile on his face, blood on his mouth, blood on his stomach. 

"I-I had to s-save you-" He coughed more blood, as I pressed down on the wound, trying to make the bleeding stop but it was impossible. 

"You idiot, you didn't. I was trying to save all of you." I told him, angry at myself for not being more careful. Before Mr. Hayes died he was able to pull his trigger from the ground, he wanted to point it at me but Jungkook stepped in front of me. 

My hands were shaking, I could feel people moving all around me but Jungkook was in my arms. Dying in my arms. I could hear Amelia crying, everyone was crying. 

"Jungkook, why did you do that?" 

"T-T-Take care of h-her." He said as he kept smiling at me through the pain. He's my brother, he can't leave me. 

This can't be happening. 

"No, no Jk please." 

"Now- y-you have to-to let me go-" I shook my head as I kept the pressure on his stomach, but it was too much blood, he was dying. And what were minutes, felt like an eternity. 

"Jungkook, why?" He didn't answer because he knew I knew the answer I just didn't want to accept that he had done this. 

Paramedics came towards us, separating me from Jungkook but before they did, I saw him closing his eyes, I saw his hand plop to his side and I heard them say "Hour of death 8:00pm, 17th of October-" 

After that I felt numb.
