FALLING FOR YOU!!

I Can't Even Face Him!!

Namjoon: how did it happen,kook??

*Jungkook took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling with a heavy, shuddering weight..He stared at his clenched fists, his knuckles still stark white against the grey concrete, before finally forcing his eyes up to meet Namjoon's steady gaze..*

Jk(voice hollow and flat, stripped of its usual strength): The phone call!!The girl.. she sounded exactly like a civilian caught in a home invasion.. The screaming, the sheer terror in her voice,it was completely flawless, Hyung.. I tried to verify her location, but she claimed she was too scared to say anything more, and could only hit the emergency tracking pin on her interface..

Jk(paused, a dark, bitter shadow passing over his face as he recalled his own tactical blindspot): I was so consumed by the thought of a citizen being butchered on our watch while the rest of the team was deployed that I didn't question the anomaly.. I followed the live GPS transponder straight into that villa..The door was already kicked open..The lights were out, but I could hear muffled crying from the rear bedroom..

Jk(hands began to tremble again, his fingers digging into his knees as the memory forced its way out): The moment I breached the threshold with my weapon drawn, the air felt strange.. Before I could even register the scent, a localized aerosol flash-trap went off from the ceiling vents.. It wasn't standard tear gas or a flash-bang.. it was a high-concentration chemical paralytic mixed with a heavy hallucinogen.. My vision blurred instantly, my equilibrium shattered, and my gun slipped right out of my hand.. I couldn't breathe.. My limbs felt like they were filled with lead..

Jk(looked at Yoongi, a flicker of raw, agonizing frustration bleeding into his dead expression): I stumbled toward the bed, trying to find an anchor, trying to find the source of the crying.. And that's when she lunged at me.. She wasn't a victim, Hyung.. She was a professional operative.. The moment I collapsed onto the mattress, she threw herself under me, wrapping her arms around my neck to lock me down.. She started screaming at the top of her lungs, ripping her own clothes to shreds with a blade she had hidden in her palm, slashing her own skin to coat me in her blood.. I was completely paralyzed, trapped under the chemical weight, unable to push her off or clear my head..

Jk(closed his eyes, his jaw clenching so hard the bone clicked in the quiet cell): Less than a minute later, before I could even drag myself off the bed, the door didn't just get breached by our unit,the external wall was practically blown open by flashbulbs.. The media vans were already backed up into the loading bay.. They had the cameras focused through the windows before Director Choi's team even crossed the threshold.. It was a perfectly timed, military-grade frame execution.. I was conscious enough to see what they were doing to me, but I was too drugged to stop it..and by the time I got my senses back, everything was already ruined..

*Yoongi's face contorted into something downright demonic.. The slow, methodical explanation of the trap,the aerosol paralytics, the professional actress, the weaponized media layout, snapped the last thread of his legendary self-control..He surged to his feet, his heavy tactical boots squeaking sharply against the concrete floor.. He turned around and violently kicked the iron leg of the bolted cell bench, the deafening CLANG of metal hitting metal echoing through the entire sub-level corridor like a gunshot..*

Yoongi(roared, his voice bouncing off the concrete walls in a wave of pure, unfiltered fury): FUCK!!

Yoongi(slammed his fist against the reinforced brick wall, not even flinching as the skin on his knuckles split, drawing blood): A chemical paralytic?? Military-grade aerosol??He didn't just ambush you, Kook,he used our own internal response protocols against us!!He knew exactly how many seconds it would take for you to respond, he knew the exact speed of Choi's intercept team, and he had the media standing by like a goddamn theater audience!!
