Hello lovelies ❤️ I'm really very sorry for updating after so long. I hope you'll enjoy reading. Please ignore any grammatical mistake.

The heavy silence in the room stretched out, broken only by the soft rustle of sheets as Taehyung shifted in Jungkook's arms. The tension was palpable, like the air before a storm, and Jungkook could feel the storm raging inside him. His pulse thudded in his ears, his mind racing with fury.

How could they have let Taehyung get to this point? How could they have stood by, watching him suffer like this?

As Taehyung began to regain some strength, his fingers tightened around Jungkook's wrist, grounding him. "Kook... I can't-"

"Don't," Jungkook whispered fiercely, cutting him off, his voice sharp with authority. He could feel his anger rising, a tidal wave threatening to overwhelm him. "Don't apologize. Not now. I know very well what I'm doing."

Taehyung opened his mouth, but before he could speak, the door creaked open, and his two hyungs, Yoongi and Namjoon stepped into the room. Their expressions were grim, but the air was thick with unspoken tension. He knew better than anyone what the elder was thinking.

Jungkook's eyes narrowed immediately, locking onto them with a simmering fury."You," Jungkook spat, his voice like ice. "You let this happen. You let Taehyung risk everything. How could you?"

Yoongi's face was pale, but his eyes were hard, unmoving. He knew this confrontation was coming. He knew he failed younger, his little baby but none the less he tried to put his thoughts aside and tried to make younger understand his point of view"Jungkook, calm down-"

"Calm down?!" Jungkook's voice rose, raw and biting. "You were supposed to protect him. All of you were. Yet here we are-Taehyung's nearly dead, and you want me to calm down? Really hyung?"

Namjoon stepped forward, his usual composed demeanor slipping for the first time. "Jungkook, listen-"

"No, you listen!" Jungkook cut him off, his hands tightening into fists at his sides. "I trusted you both with him. I trusted you to make sure he was safe, and instead, I found him almost broken because of your failures!" His voice was low, dangerous. "What the hell happened?"

Yoongi shifted uncomfortably, his jaw clenched. He hated seeing Jungkook this angry, especially when it was directed at him. "It's not like that," Yoongi said, voice soft but edged with guilt. "We tried to stop him, but you know how Taehyung is. Once he sets his mind to something..."

"I don't want excuses," Jungkook hissed, taking a step forward, his eyes burning with intensity. "YOU knew the danger.You should've stopped him before it got to this point. Instead, you let him dive headfirst into something that nearly destroyed him. What I'd do if anything happens to him."

His voice trembled at the end but fury in his eyes didn't get down even for a moment.

Taehyung, still lying in Jungkook's arms, looked up weakly, his gaze shifting between the two men. His voice trembled, but he spoke with surprising strength. "Stop, Jungkook... stop arguing. It's not their fault. It's... it's mine. I-"

"No," Jungkook growled, cutting him off again. "Don't you dare put this on yourself." He turned his eyes back to Yoongi and Namjoon, his fury only growing. "I'm done with excuses. You two should've done whatever it took to keep him out of harm's way, hyung. But instead, he nearly died. What were you thinking? What did I say before leaving him in your security?"

He growled again.Namjoon swallowed hard, guilt clawing at his chest. "We... we didn't know it would go this far. We thought the plan would go differently. We thought we had more time to deal with them and-"
