4. Just savage

"Because it was self-defense and the refugee is still alive, there will be no retaliation? This is the only time we will allow this kind of behavior Is that clear?" Jungkook nods, not looking the woman in the face.

He finds it unbelievable that this is the reason they allow it. Jungkook as well as the others already have the typical law embedded in their brains. They are aware that it is wrong, but why? That guy is an abuser and a menace who exposed himself from minute one.

Why should I let him live, why should he be punished for whatever happens to him? He deserves to die. Like any other rapist, he deserves to die. To top it off, one so unstable that, just because he didn't have his would-be victim, he beat up whoever was in his place. Jungkook wants him dead and if he sees him again, he will kill him.

He knows he won't be able to suppress his instinct. It will be an urge so animalistic, so primal, that it will just happen and he won't remember he did it. Like every other thing he does when he's angry. He has no way to explain the anger that the mere mental image of how Yoongi spent the night before last.

With a pig masturbating from looking at him....

By what right does he deserve to live?

None. He doesn't. He's just another monster.

One who has come all this way. Why?

He leaves that small room questioningly, reluctantly closing the door and returning to the common area. In it, he finds Taehyung, Hoseok, Jin, Jimin and Yoongi waiting for him. Taehyung gets up first to greet him.

"What happened, everything okay?" Jungkook shakes his head and pushes his hair away from his face. Jin approaches with a surgical patch.

"Yes. Everything's fine," he replies quietly, mumbling. "They're not going to take it into account because he hit me first. Plus he's still alive... but I can't do it again. If I did, I'd have to go through.... Something? I think. He didn't explain. Just that this is the only time they'll let it pass."

"He hit you," Jin retorts. "That you responded as normal. Much more so with everything going on around "Jungkook adjusts his eyepatch. Jin can only do so much with one hand, "Hopefully, the next one they put in there won't be a jerk."

"No. Let's hope not."

"We should go get Namjoon already." opines Jimin, swaying where he sits. Taehyung nods in agreement and Hoseok jumps up.

. . .

"I was doing you a favor, believe me, with how diminished your population is you should think more about whether or not to kill that kid" Namjoon tries to hold back any comments on the matter. At this very moment he feels something else twist inside his body. "Your government is willing to do anything to increase the non-existent population."

"I can imagine it, however, I don't plan to be part of that project" Namjoon notifies with his elbows resting on the armrests of the seat. "I've been bitten more times than I can remember and it's possible I'll come in sick."

"Not at all. All the children that have been born, are more than healthy" states the man with a sympathetic, fake smile. "Take the last few days you have to think-"

"It's possible that those are the days until I'm three months along. I need to get it out of my system." he chortles. Disgusted. The military man shrugs.

"Take it as a sign that you must have it" Namjoon denies with a permanent smile on his lips, incredulous that he insists. "Our department of doctors and scientists are allowed to use as they see fit any part of the refugees" he comments, wanting to see his reaction. "If you decide to abort, they would use the fetus as they see fit."
