It was a slow night at the gas station, which honestly wasn't very surprising. Demi kept Namjoon busy with conversations about school and cracking a few jokes here and there. After a couple hours he couldn't wait any longer...
"Sorry Demi I have to use the little men's room! I'll be baaack!" Demi's laughter followed Namjoon as he dashed into the bathroom and did his business. As he washed his hands he couldn't help but to took note of the reflection in the mirror. He usually was always too busy to check his appearance, but he took a few moments right then. Namjoon's hair was definitely growing and he seemed older. Light bags rested under his eyes. Sighing, he plastered a smile onto his face. The somewhat difficult action making his dimple visible. He splashed some cold water on his face and decided to write on the dirty glass of the mirror. 'You must survive' was written in his messy korean handwriting. Suddenly he heard a crash outside. Namjoon dashed into the main area of the convenience store startled. His face went pale. A man was holding a gun at Demi as she stood perfectly still.
"Listen here pretty lady..." The unknown robber pulled out a random pillowcase and tossed it at her. "Fill that up with cash and we won't have any issues here." Namjoon recognized the voice but the name just wouldn't click. He tried to shuffle back so he could go and call the cops but he stumbled knocking a few racks filled with snacks down. The robber jumped in shock and a shot rang out. He stared at Namjoon furiously... His eyes...
"Zico?!" Zico blinked a few times when his mouth made an 'o' shape.
"Rapmon?"
Suddenly Demi slumped onto the floor. Namjoon shouted out as he ran to her. He checked her over when he felt blood. If his face could become paler at that moment he would be transparent. More blood started to stain her blue hoodie around her abdomen. Namjoon fumbled to pull his phone out as he glanced around the shop. Zico had fled and apparently grabbed all the cash the register had to offer since it was wide open, completely barren. As Namjoon's phone rang he couldn't help but let a few tears slip out thinking back to what he wrote in the bathroom...
You must survive...

It was 4 a.m. when the phone started ringing like crazy. Jungkook could hear Jimin groan in annoyance.
"Maknae... Pick it up." Jungkook pretended to be in a deep slumber, which Jimin would never usually be able to wake him up from. Muttering a few curse words Jimin plopped down from the top bunk and quickly answered the phone.
"Yeoboseyo... Hyung?"
Jungkook could faintly hear a tremendous ruckus on the other line. Suddenly Jimin's face went pale and his eyes watered quickly. He heaved a heavy breath before hanging up, not even saying goodbye to whoever called him.
"Jeon Jeonkook. I know you are awake. Hurry up and get ready, we need to get to the hospital now." Jimin never used the younger boys actual name unless it was something important. Jungkook rolled out of his bed and slipped on the first pair of joggers he found along with his worn tan timberland boots. Glancing at Jimin, Jungkook could tell he was in shock. His face drained of color, his unfocused eyes gazing at nothing in particular.
"Hyung? What happened?... " The younger boy didn't honestly want to ask the question, for he feared the answer. But nevertheless Jimin broke out of his trance and responded in a broken breathy voice.
"Demi... She's-" he took a breath to steady himself. "she's been shot." Jungkook's eyes turned to the size of saucers yet nothing could really make him truly believe it. Not until I see her with my own eyes. Both boys bounded out of the apartment into the cold unforgiving night. Before they knew it they were already on the subway towards Seoul's medical center. As the train car rocked back and forth both boys couldn't help but think about Demi. They haven't known her for very long, yet she already was part of the family. She understood them. Each of them were troubled boys and they assumed that she already knew that. Even knowing that, she would still give them her wide signature smiles. What they didn't know was Demi considered them her family as well. She needed them as much as they needed her. Glancing at his Hyung Jungkook could tell that Jimin was not taking the news well. Heck he wasn't taking the news well! His chest felt tight. He couldn't stop nervously running his hands through his hair. He even felt sick to his stomach.
"We have arrived at the Seoul Medical Plaza. Have a good night."
The doors slid open and Jungkook immediately took off after Jimin. They both dashed to the emergency room. After a few twists and turns they found the dreaded waiting room and a distressed Namjoon. He sat in the farthest corner hunched over with his face shielded by his two hands. One thing each boy took note of as they both stood there unsure of what to do was the shaking of his shoulders.
I've never seen Namjoon hyung cry...
Jimin then decided to make their presence known. "Hyung? Wh-what happened?" At first Namjoon didn't react. A few slow moments passed when he finally drew his hands away from his face. He looked extremely tired. His eyes were red and puffy while his face seemed pale.
"It was him..." His gaze seemed to glaze over as he thought with a great intensity. "Hyung who is him?" Jimin sat next to Namjoon while Jungkook sat across. Namjoon blinked a few times when he finally could compose a proper sentence. "Our lovely friend Tao is back in town, and I have a feeling he brought the whole crew..."

Yoongi was deep asleep until three idiots decided to wake him from his sacred slumber. "Why the hell are you waking me up at this hour of the morning!?" If looks could kill he was pretty sure he would have been guilty of a mass murder as of today. Glancing around they all seemed to have a reason, yet no one had made it known to the grumpy boy. "Well if no one is going to say anything I'm going back to sle-" "DemihasbeenshotandNamjooniscallingameeting." Even with the speed that Taehyung had said it Yoongi couldn't believe the gravity of the situation until he saw it with his own eyes. Now wide awake, he leapt up and dashed to get his shoes on. The other boys followed suit and soon they were off into the night, praying that a certain girl was okay.
