Calm Down, We're at the End

This is it, the end. This is like a longer chapter than the past ones so be prepared for tears and happiness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jungkook sits under his desk with his knees to his chest. His right arm held his left shoulder, he can feel the pain again, the pain he long forgotten.

His breathing was off the charts, his office was dark yet the lights were on. Tears fell from his face but he couldn't feel them. He was scared. Scared of everything.

Tzuyu opens the office door with a smile. "King, guess what was....King?" Her happiness was cut short when she heard the gasping breaths coming from under Jungkook's desk. "Oh my gosh, King!" She rushes to Jungkook and crouched down to stare at him. He was looking around like he didn't know where he was.

"King, it's ok. It's me, Tzuyu." She thought by speaking to him calmly it will relax him but nothing was.

Jungkook pushed his body further under the desk trying to get away from her. He was confused. Why doesn't he recognize her? He slashed his right arm at her, trying to get her to go away. Tzuyu was able to dodge it.

"I'll be right back." Tzuyu leaves him alone to get Taehyung. Since it was an emergency, she had Seokjin carry him to Jungkook to get there faster.

"What's wrong?" Taehyung asked Tzuyu as Seokjin carried him up the stairs. "I think he's having a panic attack."

Taehyung's eyes widened and heartbeat quickened. "Hey, calm down. Someone has to be when talking to him." Seokjin warns as he can feel the thumping of Taehyung's heart against his chest.

By the time they got to Jungkook's office they could hear his quick sniffs. Seokjin then places Taehyung behind the desk on the floor to talk to him. "Kookie?"

Jungkook looks up at the voice. "Look, our mate. Calm down please."

Taehyung pulls himself closer to him and places a soft hand on his cheek. "Hey, it's ok. Everything is ok." Jungkook cries into Taehyung's chest who held him close. After about ten minutes, Jungkook was relaxed enough to start talking.

"Why didn't any of you tell me what happened?" Jungkook shoved Taehyung off him causing him to land on his back, gently but still hard. "I had to find out about it by myself, in a flash memory! I'm here by myself. I remembered it all by myself! Alone...and......and scared."

Taehyung looks at Seokjin and Tzuyu who stood in front of the desk. With a sigh, Taehyung spoke. "We didn't tell you because we thought it was for the best. Namjoon hyung told us that the brain will forget trauma to help with the healing process, we thought letting your brain bring the memory back will be safer. We're sorry." He felt bad for the now new trauma his mate was going through.

"My Noona." Jungkook felt his tears coming back. "Noona....she's dead because I wasn't fast enough."

"No. Do not start that self blaming." Taehyung says as he lifts his body back up with his arms. "You had just gotten your arm sliced off and Jessi did what she told me over and over again. She protected you. That's all she wanted to do."

"What about you guys? Hyung can't transform anymore. You are paralyzed. Hoseok hyung is blind! AND JIMIN HAD HIS TAIL CHOPPED OFF! How am I supposed to not blame myself when they helped us, helped me in this whole thing!?" Jungkook curled into Taehyung's lap.

"Jimin's tail will grow back after mating season, if anything, he just lost them a couple months early. That's why he pulls your chain with it." Taehyung sighs as Seokjin helps Jungkook back on his feet while he himself lifts his limp body back on the wheelchair, that Tzuyu brought with her a little after the two entered Jungkook's office.
