The members gasped as they stared at their pup with wide eyes.

"Kookie?"

"You heard me. Kill me! Take the knife and drive it into my chest," Jungkook growled, tears filling his eyes, "You did so much to protect your pack, Namjoon-hyung. And what did I do? I put you all in danger. Ever since I joined your pack, I have been nothing but trouble. I nearly got you all killed. Just because I wanted to feel my father's love. I was fucking selfish. You showered me with love and all I could think of was how nice it would be to finally have my father care about me. I'm a monster, just like him, hyung. Kill me, please. I don't want to h-hurt you anymore. I d-deserve d-death."

By the end of his rant, Jungkook was sobbing harshly and he heard Jin and Jimin make a little distressed noise. Jungkook felt the weight of the knife from his palm disappear before he was pulled into a warm embrace.

"You deserve all the love in the world. Ever since you came into our lives, you've changed it for the best," he heard Namjoon say and looked up at him with sad doe-eyes.

"If I remember correctly, pup, you saved me from being beaten to death on the streets in the middle of the night," Taehyung said, "You saved me! If it wasn't for you, I might not have been here today."

"When your father came back and pleaded to make things right, you were quick to forgive him because your heart is too big for it's own good," Jin spoke as Jungkook continued to cry.

"Your feelings towards that man were genuine. It isn't easy to forgive someone who hurts you that bad...but you did. You have so much love to give," Yoongi said, looking fondly at the younger.

"You, unlike most people, accepted us for who we were," Jimin added.

"And if it wasn't for you, that man would have killed us today. But you protected us," Hoseok said, smiling softly, "You saved us, pup."

"You don't deserve death. That bastard does," Yoongi said, glaring at the unconscious man, eyes flashing red.

"You are nothing like your father. He's a coward. An emotionless bastard with a greed for wealth. You, on the other hand, are kind and loving. You have compassion, something that man lacks. You protect the ones you love," Namjoon said, making Jungkook sob.

"So, don't tell us that you're a monster. Don't tell us that you're like that bastard. Because we know you aren't," Yoongi finished and kissed the younger's forehead.

"Without you, our pack is incomplete. Don't you ever say something degrading about yourself again. Don't hurt yourself, Kookie. You don't deserve that," Jin cried, tears rolling down his cheeks as he hugged the younger tight.

"It hurts us when you speak that way", Hoseok cried, joining the hug.

"I'm sorry," Jungkook sniffled.

"We love you so much, Kookie. So so much."

"I love you too, hyungs."

Jimin and Taehyung joined the cuddle pile, pulling Yoongi along with them.

"Not that I don't like to cuddle but what do we do about them?" Yoongi asked, looking at the three unconscious men, face scrunched up in disgust.

"Can't we kill them?" Taehyung asked, as he and Jimin crushed the whistles.

"No, don't kill them," Jungkook cried.

"As much as I hate to say this. Jungkook's right. We can't kill them for the sake of keeping our identities hidden. If police come investigating and find their dead bodies, we'll be in trouble," Yoongi said, matter-of-factly.

"Namjoon-hyung, Yoongi-hyung, you could wipe out their memories," Jimin suggested.

"Hyung, could you wipe out all his memories of mother and of me? And of our pack?" Jungkook asked, chewing on his bottom lip, eyes shining with unshed tears as Hoseok pulled him into a hug and began scenting him.

Namjoon and Yoongi nodded, before crouching down and getting to work.
