• Jungkook's P.O.V •

I couldn't sleep knowing that I choose Kristen over the boys who have protected me for years.
My own brothers.

They don't have to protect her but I will. I choose protecting over being protected, and I don't regret it not one bit.

I know they doubt that I'll protect her and keep her safe but Im protecting them also. I'll be far away from them and make sure that if anything happens it backlashes onto me and not them.

Which means I'll have to go up against Hoseok by myself. I needed a quick and stable plan. I cant let Kristen stay with Hoseok long, but long enough so that he believes I actually gave her up. In order to give Kristen up I needed to figure out how I'll get her back.

"Where'd the scar come from?" Kristen's soft voice made me snap out of my thoughts. I thought she was asleep. But apparently she's in the same nervous state that I'm in. The nerves that keep you up and your mind running. She shouldn't be thinking or worried about these things. It was my job to do so.

Right now I needed to clear my mind as well as she needed to get some sleep.

"Don't worry about it. Get some rest." I got up and headed to the bathroom.

I took me and Kristen to a condo I owned. It was safe and private. Distant from the mansion and the city. The boys knew about it but not the location. I only came here when I had to do private projects or wanted space away from everything. I had Taehyung teach me how to secure and lockdown my place with a bunch of technology shit so nobody could hack, locate, or get into the place.

I turned on the water to the shower as the water above fell like rain falling from the sky.

I took off my shirt as I looked at myself in the mirror. i looked at the marks Hoseok put on my neck and the scar that appeared on my left cheek. I didn't have time to clean it up earlier, so its dried blood now. I never went up against Hoseok but he was as fast as Jin has told me multiple times before. I can't be weak compared to him, I have to work my ass off. Yoongi usually trained me but I don't have him right now. Not with the way our opinions are divided. So I was stuck with training myself. Pushing past my limits so that it's no surprise when Hoseok shows his full potential.

A few minutes after I got in the shower I couldn't help but to hear Jin's words replay in my head. Ever since I left the house it's all I could think about.

'You're a Criminal, Jungkook
You've turned soft.'

Im not soft,

I care.

And that's the problem.

When I found Kristen at that bridge I knew she wasn't in her right mind. I know that look of someone on drugs and I saw that in her eyes. I also saw the hurt beyond those drugs. Her eyes cried out for help. Something told me to keep my eye on her. I care about Kristen, and for four years I've kept my side eye on her with my 6th sense telling me to do so.
