seventeen

jiseo's loud knocking is heard as she calls for yoongi's name outside the door. yoongi quickly rushes over, opening the door and jiseo stumbles into yoongi's dull but cozy apartment in an instant, muttering words that yoongi can't quite decipher. she crashes into yoongi and the male wraps his arms around her to envelop the shaking figure in front of him. he provides the comfort the girl needs and closes the door behind her. he doesn't say a word until she decides to speak up.

soon enough, the hug seems to calm jiseo down as her trembles lessen. yoongi pulls away, though his hands are still placed on her shoulders. his eyes widen as he sees her red eyes. it seems like she had cried, which is surprising in yoongi's point of view because jiseo rarely shed tears. if she cried on the way here then it must've been a big deal. yoongi suddenly feels anger filling him instead of the confusion that was present before. jungkook must've been involved, he grimaces mentally to himself.

"jiseo, tell me what happened," he urges, looking at her expression that distorts with mostly sadness and— is that fear? yoongi raises one of his eyebrows, a frown upon his face whilst waiting for jiseo to speak. he brings her to the couch, helping her take off the coat she's wearing on the way and proceed to soothingly rub circles on her back in order to provide comfort as they both sit down.

he puts her thick coat on the back of the couch. "g-god yoongi— i feel so— s-scared and i don't know w-what to do," she finally stutters out and her voice comes out hoarse.

"of what? of who?" yoongi isn't stupid, he knows it's jungkook but he wants to hear his best friend admit it right in front of him.

"jungkook," her voice becomes more stable when she opens her mouth to answer his question.

yoongi snarls, "that fucker, i knew he was up to no good. you should've listened to me."

"no— it w-wasn't— it wasn't his fault!" jiseo immediately disagrees.

"then whose fault was it?"

"it's just that— jungkook and i were talking and then these.. g-guys came and suddenly i didn't know what was going on?" jiseo explains. "they said something about jungkook previously being in a g-gang and apparently he ratted them out. but jungkook never even told me about it! i thought i k-knew him well enough by now but turns out, there was more to his story than what he told me."

"wow, guy's a fucking liar too," yoongi interrupts but jiseo ignores his comment and continues.

"i don't know— a-after a few moments they were shooting at each other with g-guns. with guns, yoongi. i felt like i was going to go deaf every time they pulled the trigger," jiseo says. "i was so scared— gosh i was so fucking scared."

"one of them tried to choke me—" jiseo says, face distorting into an expression of fright. "—to death! i was— shit, i think i almost died but—"

"wait, you almost got strangled to death?! what th—"

"—j-jungkook helped me get away. i— gosh, i don't know what to do," jiseo covers her face with her hands. "yoongi, he... he killed them."

yoongi just stares, he doesn't know what to say either. uneasiness creeps into his body as he looks at jiseo's shaking figure in front of him. "and i— i was so afraid of him right then and i— i ran away and i called you. shit— i think i saw a flash of hurt in his eyes when i told him to stay away from me, i think i hurt him and—"
