The Distance Between Us

Chapter 40: Training and Tears

Jungkook POV

Everything was frantic. A blur. "You got him to promise!" I shouted, tears in my eyes. "It's my wedding day, Tae!"

"Jungkook I know but we got to get everyone into the Palace to safety right now!"

Getting into mission mode Taehyung and I entered the tent. "Everyone get back to the Palace now. There's danger coming towards us"

As everyone started frantically making their way out of the tent screaming. I become frantic looking for y/n. I found her getting pulled along with the crowd. I grabbed her and took her by the waist. "Jungkook... whats going on"

"I'll explain at the Palace. Now we gotta go back in. Trust me baby"

When we got outside the gun shots felt closer. "Keep low!" I shouted. We were behind the crowd. Every second felt like a lifetime until we were at the double doors. With much effort we shut it behind us.

"Wait did you make sure everyone was accounted for?" Taehyung asked as we paused by the door.

"We were the last" I said to Taehyung. He pushed past me clearly not feeling confident and attempted to open the door.

"Don't!" Y/n and I shouted in unison
But Taehyung took off out the door.

Taehyung POV

I don't know what had made me think to go back outside. The noise of gunshots was looming in my ears.

I ran instinctively towards the tent. To my horror I saw Jiha laying on the ground. My heart was beating so fast. No! Please let her be ok.

I ran as fast as I could and leant down. Jiha was groaning and I could see a gunshot wound on her arm. "No Jiha" I cried. "When did you come here. I didn't know you were"

"It's OK" She said sighing. "Ahh!"

She screamed as I ripped off my shirt and wrapped it around her arm. I picked her up and I heard gunshots aimed in my direction from below.

I ducked my head. "We gonna get back to the Palace don't worry"

I ran as fast as I could. "Hold in there "

I knocked the door with my foot and it swung open. Jungkook and Y/n stood back shocked as I entered. There was a seat in the corner and I set Jiha down on it.

There was a lot of screaming from the other guests and guards that were inside attempting to calm them down and whisk them into the banquet hall. Everywhere felt like disorder. People tripping over each other. Crying. 

"Jiha was here?" Jungkook asked as I started barking demands at the Servants above the chaos. "She didn't get an invite "

I turned to Jungkook angrily. "You chose now to say she wasn't invited??. Get a doctor now"

I bent down by Jiha's side crying as she screamed out in pain. I held her hand. Right now a war breaking out was the last thing on my mind but I just wanted her to be ok.

The doctor come running quickly and immediately rushed to Jiha's side. "Doctor save her please " I begged.

Jungkook and y/n were now over at the door looking out the peephole. "They won't be able to get in will they?" Y/n asked terrified.  She turned to Jungkook. "What is going on"

"War" Jungkook said. He gulped and turned towards me. I turned back to Jiha who was screaming as the doctor was putting some ointment and bandages on her.

My brothers appeared and some other wedding guests looking concerned. In hushed tones they conversed with Jungkook and y/n.

My head was spinning.
