Heart of the Cure

Chapter Five: Promise

Everyone was sat at the table, dinner served in front of them. Everybody was eating, all except Jungkook who just stared at his food, worriedly. Jimin noticed Jungkook, wondering if maybe he changed his mind about tonight. 'I'll make sure to ask him later' Jimin said in his mind.

"How was your training?" Hank asked with a smile, making Jimin look at him. "Oh. . . it was good. Kinda tired but it was great. I learned to shoot a moving target." "Whoa that's great Jimin, I'm so proud of you." Hank replied with a proud smile.

"How about you Jungkook?" Ariel asked as she turned to Jungkook. "Jungkook?" She asked again when he remained quiet, still staring at his food. "Huh? What was it?" He asked, looking up.

"I asked how was your training? Is everything okay?" Jungkook nodded his head when he saw Ariel's worried expression. "Everything is fine really. I'm just a little tired and I have a small headache. I think I'm gonna go head to sleep now."

"But you haven't touched your food." "I'm not hungry." Jungkook replied as he stood up. He walked over to Ariel and placed a kiss on top of her head. "Goodnight" "Goodnight" Everyone replied as Jungkook left the room.

Jimin stared as he left. He then stood up, excusing himself too "I'm gonna go check on him." He said as he walked out. "You're not pushing them too hard now are you?" Ariel asked as she turned to look at Bryan with a stern expression.

"What? Of course not. Jimin and Jungkook are great at what they do. Jungkook is strong, he was able to take me down repeatedly. He has grown into a fine young man. Jimin, wow, he really has the potential of a leader.

He's fast and he has great accuracy. With Jimin's agility and accuracy and Jungkook's strength and resilience, they'll make a perfect duo. They'll be unstoppable." "They're just kids, what's more important is their health." Hank said sternly.

"I always let them know what they're gonna do before letting them do it and I'm always there to help them if they need it. I'm not putting them in any danger." Bryan replied, looking at Ariel.

"Good because these are young and healthy boys. I wouldn't want you to put their lives in danger. By just looking at them you could tell that they lost plenty already. I wouldn't want you to add more onto their plate"

Bryan nodded as he sat straighter on his chair. "I won't put them in harm's way, I promise. Besides, I'll be leaving tomorrow night anyways. They'll be done with their training and you won't have to worry about them. They'll be able to take care of themselves."
