<HORNS>|| BTS x Jungkook ~Mafia AU~

The Rising

"Taehyung?!" She screamed, "I could've shot you!"

"There's no time! Fuck, there's like a hundred of them! It's the - Jeon men - as well! They're looking for him and I've - killed - like - ten - oh my gosh!" Taehyung wheezed as he dashed over to drink from the jug of water. His features concentrated on the cramps and stitches flying up his ribs.

Mina stared at Jungkoook and he stared back at her.

She couldn't tell what was going through his mind, but she knew enough to realise when he was fuming about something. Glancing over at Taehyung who was still taking heavy breaths, she turned back to Jungkook who was clenching his jaw as handsomely as he's always done.

Biting down on her bottom lip, it seemed as though the noise momentarily dissipated until there was three loud bangs and the locked door was flung wide open, two burly guards pouring in. Although limping and staggering, their eyes immediately travelled.

"FUCK!" Taehyung shouted as he flapped around his waist for a gun.

But the men were too quick as they were already holding onto theirs.

Mina saw Jungkook shuffling to the side of his bed, reaching out for his side table, but she gulped and knew there was no time to hesitate.

She heard a thud as Jungkook had dropped himself to the floor, on the side facing the open door as a loud bang later and Taehyung had successfully injured one of the men who was now crawling to retrieve his weapon. Mina aimed at the other guard who had already let off an ear splitting rampage of shots at Jungkook's bed, leaving dark holes piercing mattress in its wake. The girl pressed down on the trigger, a thunderous bellow resulting, but the bullet missed him completely.

It caught his attention however, as he immediately turned to her and she jumped down, missing the speeding bullet by a fraction as the breeze scraped the hairs on her head. Momentarily closing her eyes, she recalls the training lessons Seokjin took her to and quickly shuffled, belly down on the floor.

Aiming at the guard again, she closed her right eye as the lids were twitching shut. She readied herself and felt a pounding vibration before the bullet resisted its position and fired straight to the guards back.

He fell forward with a dull whack.

Jungkook was mortified as he looked up from his position only to see Mina breathing intensely, an eerie smile of determination painted across her beautiful features.

So much indescribable love shot through his system just then, never has he felt so loved and never has he loved someone so dearly before. This girl was the better person he always strived to be, she possessed all the perfect qualities of a god, but her humbleness and purity was something refreshing, something Jungkook wanted to watch forever.

As the lover's eyes dangled with each other, Taehyung had now killed the other guard. But there were hastening footsteps approaching and it all happened in an instant. Too many noises were echoing outside, as what sounded like a monster truck of some sort pulled up outside the hospital.

Mina and Jungkook turned to the door and to their dismay; there stood another Jeon guard aiming a silver bulldog at Jungkook. Her heart stopped beating for a second, but Jungkook was doing the best he could to reach his arm out in front of his world. He shuffled in front of Mina whilst his ankles were doubling on him and shaking, but he couldn't let her get hurt.

"NO!" Mina shouted, but as she stretched out her hand, Taehyung suddenly lunged his body forward.

The bullet left its pocket and instead of killing the designated target, it rammed into the chestnut haired boy as he let out a shrill yelp of pain.
