J-Hope, still bound and wincing in pain, took a deep breath before speaking, his voice a mix of desperation and determination. “Listen, I know this is risky, but I’ve got something that could be of real use to you,” he said, his eyes darting between Jungkook and Namjoon. “I have a car hidden nearby. It’s in good shape and could help us get out of this mess. I’m willing to let you use it if you agree to let me join you.”
Namjoon’s eyes narrowed, his gaze assessing J-Hope with the same sharp scrutiny he’d applied throughout their encounter. “Why would we trust you?” Namjoon asked, his tone flat. “How do we know this isn’t some kind of trap?”
J-Hope swallowed hard, clearly struggling to maintain his composure under the pressure. “I understand your hesitation,” he said quickly. “But I’m in no position to trick you. My leg’s banged up, and I’m outnumbered. I need your help as much as you need mine. The car’s legit. I just didn’t want to offer it up until I was sure you wouldn’t kill me.”
Jungkook, who had been quietly observing the exchange, looked to Namjoon. He knew how much they needed reliable transportation and was hopeful for a positive resolution, though he was also wary of J-Hope’s intentions.
Namjoon, after a moment of tense silence, finally spoke. “Alright,” he said, his voice laced with reluctant agreement. “We’ll take you up on that offer. But remember, any funny business and you’ll regret it.”
J-Hope’s face showed a flicker of relief, but he quickly composed himself. “Deal,” he said. "Let me show you the car and we’ll get out of here.”
Namjoon nodded curtly and gestured for Jungkook to follow. “I’m Namjoon,” he said. “And this is Jungkook.” He motioned to Jungkook, who gave a hesitant nod in greeting.
As he allowed J-Hope to stand, Namjoon kept a close watch on him, his gun still within easy reach. The three of them moved cautiously through the debris-laden streets, J-Hope leading them towards the location of the hidden car. Jungkook stayed close to Namjoon, feeling a mix of relief and apprehension about the new alliance.
