Butterfly [Jeon Jeongguk]

Will was lying in the bed, the spot beside her empty. The other boys were sleeping throughout the bedroom. She had woken up when they were being driven back to the hotel. That was when the call happened and she flipped out. Authorities were now working to track the call, or so they said.

There were two beds in the room. She had one all to herself and Suga had the other. They refused to sleep beside him, for fear he was wake up so pissed off he might attack them. The others were sleeping in various spots on the floor. Jin and Namjoon were sleeping in the small hallway, Jin holding on tightly to Namjoon. Hoseok was sleeping on the floor just in front of the foot of Will's bed. Jimin was sleeping in the bathtub and Taehyung was sleeping on the floor beside Will's bed. Everyone told Will they were comfortable to make her feel better, even though they were anything but.

Will turned over and looked at Yoongi. He was awake, watching her with tired eyes. He had made a silent promise to protect her while Taehyung was out of commission. He hadn't spoken since calling Jungkook his brother and Yoongi figured he wouldn't try again anytime soon.

"Yoongi?" Will murmured.

"Hm?"

"Are you awake?"

"Yes."

"C-can I sleep beside you? I-I can't g-go to sleep witho-out someone next to me-me." She mustered out. He lifted the covers and she hurried to his bed. She curled into a tight ball, pressing the top of her head into his chest. It didn't take long for her to start crying. He pulled her in close and rubbed her back soothingly.

"Sh sh sh, it's okay. We'll find him." Yoongi whispered, trying not to wake the others.

"H-how do you know?" She said between sobs.

"I know it. Jungkook didn't call for no reason other than to hear your voice." He continued to pet her back, looking down at Hoseok. Hoseok was watching with sleepy eyes. He smiled and mouthed a thank you. Yoongi nodded slightly as Will pushed herself into a restless slumber

Jungkook's unconsciousness was filled with pleasant dreams. Some involved the other members, but most of them took place with Will. There was one that was very far into the future. There was a small girl running around, her hair flowing freely down her back. Will was sitting on a porch swing, rubbing her swollen belly. Jungkook was habitually twisting a ring around his finger. He liked this one and it lasted the longest. However, without warning, the girl screamed. He whipped around to see her being held by Jasper.

"Daddy!" The girl screeched. Jasper had a gun pressed to the young girl's temple as she sobbed.

"It's okay, baby, Daddy's right here." He heard himself say. Suddenly, the gun went off and the girl fell. Jungkook stumbled backward, falling to the ground. He sat there, astonished. Another scream, this one calling his name.

"Jungkook! Help me!" Will cried behind him. He knew what would happen if he turned around. He couldn't stop himself. He craned his neck to watch Lucas pull the trigger of the gun against his love's head. She slumped over. Jungkook yelled curses and scrambled to his feet.

"You bastard! You said you said you wouldn't hurt her!" He lunged for Lucas. The picture before him disappeared like smoke. He flopped onto the ground. The space he was in was completely white with nothing else in it.

"Jungkookie, you're gonna miss the show!" Taehyung said above him. Jungkook lifted his head to see Tae, his hand stretched out to him. There was a wide smile on his face, the typical box smile that Tae always showed off in his happiest times. Jungkook hesitantly took his best friend's hand. Taehyung pulled him to his feet and began dragging him toward a row of chairs, six in all. The row was in front of a large red curtain. It was very beautiful. He sat down in the middle beside Hoseok.
