Chapter 24

Third person's pov

As Jungkook saw the shop on fire, panic surged through him, overriding any sense of self-preservation. His heart pounded loudly in his chest as he pushed through the crowd of onlookers, their shouts and gasps a distant background noise to the roaring flames.

"Taehyung!" he shouted desperately and with that he ran inside the burning shop.

People were shocked, and one man tried to follow him, but a wooden sign fell with a loud crash making everyone to step back. Someone quickly dialed the fire department, the crowd murmuring anxiously.

Inside the burning shop, Jungkook stumbled over fallen debris, coughing as the thick smoke filled his lungs. "Taehyung! Where are you?" he called out, his eyes stinging from the acrid air.

He moved frantically, his legs carrying him in all directions, his mind solely focused on finding Taehyung amidst the chaos.

Meanwhile, outside, Taehyung was walking down the street with Jungkook's phone, shoes, and bag in his hands. As he approached his shop and saw it engulfed in flames, his heart dropped.

Without a second thought, he sprinted towards the inferno. He heard a woman shout, "Is that man crazy? Why would he run in there!"

Taehyung's eyes widened as he approached the crowd. He grabbed the woman's arm, desperation"What was the man wearing?" he asked urgently.

The woman looked at him, puzzled and alarmed. "A pink shirt and black jacket—"

Before she could finish, Taehyung broke free from the crowd, dropping Jungkook's belongings in his haste. A few men tried to stop him, grabbing his arms, but he shrugged them off and plunged into the fiery building, shouting, "Jungkook! Where are you!"

The heat was overwhelming, and visibility was poor as thick smoke swirled around.

Taehyung squinted, his eyes scanning the burning wreckage. He heard muffled cries from a nearby room and ran towards it. Just as he was about to enter, a large piece of wood fell, blocking his path. His heart raced even faster as he heard Jungkook's voice, full of terror, shout, "Taehyung!"

"I'm here! I'm here, don't worry, I will save you!" Taehyung shouted back,

Without hesitating, Taehyung grabbed the smoldering wood with his bare hands. Pain shot through his palms, but he ignored it, gritting his teeth as he threw it aside. His hands felt like they were on fire, but he quickly rubbed them on his shirt to dull the pain and rushed into the room.

Jungkook was there, tears streaming down his face, surrounded by flames. "Taehyung," he cried, relief mixing with fear.

"I'm here. Calm down," Taehyung tried to sound as soft as softly. He took off his jacket and threw it over the nearest flames, stamping out the fire with his feet. Jungkook immediately ran to him, throwing his arms around Taehyung and clinging to him tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.

"We'll hug when we're outside," Taehyung said, his voice gentle yet firm. He lifted Jungkook into his arms, carrying him as if he weighed nothing. Jungkook's eyes were wide, everything around him a blur of smoke and flames.

Everywhere Taehyung turned, there seemed to be fire blocking their path. The heat was intense, and the smoke made it difficult to breathe. Outside, they could hear the shouts of Taehyung's kids and the panicked voices of the crowd.

Suddenly, a group of firefighters burst through the door, their faces obscured by protective masks. They moved quickly assessing the situation. One of them approached Taehyung and Jungkook, signaling for them to follow.
