Jimin stumbles up the apartment stairs, blood dripping from his head, sides bruised, and legs scratched. He could feel his eye getting bigger as he had recently been punched. Trying to breathe, he reaches for the doorknob and misses. Jimin tries again and opens it, praying none of his hyungs are in the room before him. He watches as his blood stains the pure white carpet. Falling to the floor, he holds his bruised ribs, muffling the sound of his pain into the carpet. He reaches for the wall, leaving a bloody handprint on the wall. He looks up and sees Jungkook through his blurry vision playing video games. Jimin moves forward as quietly as he possibly could. Unknowing of Jimin's presence, Jungkook catches his reflection in the window. He quickly sprung up and ran to the boy's aid.

"Jimin-hyung, what happened to you?" Jungkook asks.

Jimin tries to look everywhere but at him, knowing exactly what was about to happen.

"Jimin-hyung, answer me. What happened?" he asks again, his tone hardening as his voice rose.

"Someone beat me up," Jimin says quietly, feeling disappointed.

"Who?" Jungkook enquires, feeling his blood boil.

The boy again doesn't answer and tries to move away from him. Jungkook swiftly moves in front of him.

"Hyung, who did this?" he asks again, his voice becoming more intimidating.

"Jungkook, I don't know, but please don't go and do someting stupid and get yourself hurt,"Jimin pleads.

Jimin's body began to become unstable and he started to lose balance. Jungkook lead him to the sofa and let him sit.

"Where was it? In the alley over there? Hyung tell me!" Jungkook yells.

Jimin nods and again tries to plead with the boy to leave it alone.

"I can't Jimin-hyung. I'm gonna find who did this to you and give them their own taste of death," he says lowly.

Yoongi, Jin, and Hoseok are provoked by the sound of Jungkook yelling to see what was actually happening. They walk in to see Jungkook yelling at Jimin.

"...and why were you out this late by yourself!? It's your birthday for fucks sake and you go on and this bullshit happens! Why didn't you defend yourself?! You're our best fighter and you let yourself get beat up!" Jungkook rants.

"Jungkook! Stop yelling at him! You see how hurt he is and you're making him feel worse about it on his goddamned birthday!" Hoseok yells back at him. This was kinda new, seeing as Hoseok was always the happy one.

Yoongi takes Jimin out of the room to stop him from bleeding and hearing this conversation. Hoseok follows behind them, not wanting to partake any more.

Jungkook starts pacing araound the room, his mind racing with things to do to the attacker. Jin watches as the maknae starts rampaging. He grabs his arm and grips it tightly.

"Jungkook, calm down right now.We'll tell Nmajoon and deal with it later. Don't do anything," the eldest commands.

Jungkook turns his head and silently stares at Jin, his mind still racing. He could barely hear what was being said to him. He removes Jin's hand from his wrist and proceeds towards the closet. He grabs a white mask and black hoodie. Jin bolts to the door, locking it and standing in front of it. "Jungkook, sit down right now! Jimin told you to leave it alone and you do not get to make descisons based on your emotions! You're not the leader!" Jin yells angrily.

Namjoon, the leader, was busy working on mission plans when he heard this and quickly goes to see what all the commotion was about. As he entered the living room, he witnesses Jin and Jungkook yelling at each other.

"Hey! What in the hell is going on here!?" Namjoon yells.

Both boys quickly stop their yelling at the sound of their leader's voice.Jungkook explains everything: Jimin getting beat up,him wanting to find who did this and his hyungs not letting him. Namjoon goes to check on Jimin and then returns to the boys.

"Jungkook, we'll deal with this tomorrow. It's still his birthday and it would hurt him even more if you ended up getting hurt or worse on his behalf," Namjooon says.

Jungkook's anger got the best of him and he ran out. He could hear Jin and Namjoon yelling for him to come back. He puts on the hoodie and wears the mask on his head. Jungkook goes into the alley, lurking in the darkness, waiting for his target. He already had an idea of who hewas looking for - a skinny brunette kid he'd seen around Jimin before. The kid had been pushing Jungkook's patience now too. Jungkook wasn't going to let this guy pick on Jimin anymore though.

Just as he thought that, a kid turned the corner and started toward Jungkook. In the dim light of the alley, Jungkook could make out brown hair. The boy also had a slight build, exactly what Jungkook was looking for.

As he began to approach, someone called out to the boy from a window and he stopped to talk, making Jungkook groan in anger. The kid was making it worse for himself, making Jungkook wait this long. But he had to get his revenge. No one messes with Jimin. No one does. And if someone ever did, they'd have Jungkook to deal with, if Jimin didn't already give them a beat down. He got irritated and sat on the ground wauting for the boy he had just seen. Jungkook pulls his phone and sees texts from the boys. Taehyung had even called multiple times, as did Namjoon. Jungkook scoffed and shoves his phone back into his pocket. Just as he looked up, the window slams shut and the boy starts walking again. Now it was time for his attack.

"Hey!" Jungkook yells out, slowly approaching the person.

The boy turns and runs, Jungkook chasing after him and catching up quickly. He grabs the boy by the arm, pulling him backwards, and uppercuts him in the jaw. The kid stumbles backwards and tries to swing at him, only to be met with a quick blow to the chest. The boy pushes Jungkook and swiftly kicks him to the ground. He gets on the ground to punch Jungkook in the eye. Jungkook wrestles him and pins him down.

"Why'd you do it!?" he yells in the boys face.

The boy struggles and tries to escape his grasp.

"Do what?!" the boy yelled back.

Jungkook stands and pulls the boy up by his shirt to slam him againt the brick wall. He puts his hand around the boys neck.

"If you ever, and I mean ever, hurt him again, I will personally slit your neck and leave you to bleed in a freezer until you die of a loss of blood or hypothermia. Do you understand me?" Jungkook says in a dark tone, his grip tightening around the boy's neck, his face becoming a bright red. As Jungkook was about to land another punch on the boy, a voice comes from that building, making his grip loosen.

"Minghao!"
