I Want the Headline

Jungkook hadn't questioned Yoongi's orders, but by the scowl on his face, it was obvious he didn't like being told what to do by him. Untangling his hand from Jimin's collar, he pushed back his hair, kneading his sore jaw with his palm. Jungkook wiped the blood from his cheek with the back of his sleeve, coming to stand between you and Yoongi. That man had touched you enough for a lifetime. He was grateful that he had corrected your shoulder and fingers, but in a short lapse in his fight with Jimin, Jungkook had seen Yoongi just staring at you.

And it unnerved him.

The way Jimin was suddenly scrambling towards the door had put Jungkook on edge too. Did Jimin work for Namjoon now? Had he quickly deflected to this new Yoongi? It seemed Jimin really wasn't Jungkook's friends. He had something to do with this whole thing. And Areum...

Jungkook thought Areum was different. She had seemed so genuine..or maybe he was just too distracted by her. She was a wonderful and thorough distraction from you, he could shamefully admit. He had almost forgotten about you, but when he had had a moment to breath without Areum down his throat, he remembered you.

But just as quickly as he remember, Jimin was whispering by his side, reminding him of how angry he was at you. And Jungkook had held onto that anger until the moment he came face to face with you.

Then that all fell away too and he only felt hollow for letting that happen to you. And he was scared that if he had waited a day or two more that you'd never come to him.

And you would have died thinking that he hated you.

He didn't hate you. He was conflicted and so full of emotion over you, but he didn't hate you. But he now knew that he hated Areum. She too had jumped at Yoongi's words. She was in on this just as much as Jimin.

And Jungkook had been used like a fool; twice.

He found his gaze lowering to you. You had always seemed too good to be true. A part of him honestly wouldn't have been surprised if it turned out that you too worked for Yoongi. He frowned softly, deciding against it. The way you had looked at him when he had tenderly suggested that maybe you two could possibly have a family...

He didn't want to believe that that kind of emotion could be faked. But if it could and you had..he had already admitted that he'd gladly die if you were the one killing him.

The green haired man only glanced at Jungkook, his eyes suddenly dropping down to you curiously. You frowned, looking away. He wasn't Yoongi. He may have looked like him, but he wasn't Yoongi. Jungkook found his pounding heart calming at the sight of you so untrusting of Yoongi. You had closed off every other person in the room and that only left him.

And that was the only way he wanted it to be.

"Let's go."

You and Jungkook both looked to Yoongi in confusion. Was he talking to you both? You stood up and Jungkook calmly stretched his arm out, keeping you behind him. Yoongi watched Areum and Jimin slip from the room before looking back to you both. "I was talking to you two as well.." He muttered. Still staring at him in confusion, Yoongi rolled his eyes, "I'm taking you back Y/N." He saw Jungkook's body stiffen and he shook his head, "Don't get all antsy. You're coming too."

Jungkook glared,"Why would I do that?"

"Because Y/N is coming with me and so is Jimin." Yoongi murmured, "And you're scared he might find a way to be alone with her. And why would she be coming with me? "He taunted,"Because I know where Jin is at." He went on further, the corners of his lips tilting up, "And why is all this happening right now? Because I need you." Both men were surprised when you suddenly piped up with a stern,
