Prolouge.

He could hear his heart beating rapidly. He was trained for this but he wasn't really the type of person to be here. He does not belong here.

Not in this bloody madness but he had to fight to survive.

He glanced at his friend who enrolled in the army at the same time as him. Jung Hoseok.

He was unconscious as he hit his head pretty hard on the wall when the bomb blasted next to them. Almost killing them in the process. 

"Fuck."

He cursed.

'My name is Kim Namjoon and I have to survive to save Jung Hoseok no matter what. I have to save him. Come on breathe in breathe out.'

Namjoon repeated this mantra and finally open his eyes. His adrenaline rushing through his body like boiling water.

He carried Hoseok on his back and ran to one of the hideouts. He can do it. Almost there.

He almost reached it when someone shot his leg. His left thigh to be precise.

"God dammit!"

He hid in one of the bushes and saw the enemy sitting behind a tree. Namjoon was so glad he wore his contacts today.

The enemy seemed to look busy so Namjoon took this chance to shoot the  enemy. At least, in his leg so that the enemy would be distracted and Namjoon would immediately run. Yes, he can do this.

"BANG!"

Namjoon didn't mean to. It was a mistake. He accidentally shot the person in his head. Immediately falling to his death.

Namjoon didn't mean to but still he had to survive and run for his and his friend's sake.

'Come on! Come on! Just a little bit more!!'

His thigh was bleeding profusely. He was limping but he had to run or they will both die.

Namjoon sighed in relief. He reached the hideout. He opened the door to find nurses and doctors tending to the soldier's wound.

"Oh shit! You're bleeding so badly! Nurse! Take the other one in another bed!! The rest come and help me with this soldier!"

Namjoon collapsed on the floor.

He fucking made it.

After that, everything went black.

Namjoon woke up and saw the doctor next to him with papers in her hand.

"Hello there Mr. Kim. How are you feeling?"

He felt numb and dead.

"I feel..."

He croaked out. His throat was dry and the doctor noticed this and gave him a glass of water.

"Thank you. I feel much better."

The doctor nodded.

"I have some news."

Namjoon look up to her.

"The bullet from your thigh is gone, thankfully you didn't suffer from blood loss but just enough to faint. But you also fainted from the pain so... Anyways, the bad news is this pain is going to stay there. But I do not know till when it will be gone, it could be months, years and... Sometimes permanently."

The look Namjoon gave her made her immediately say,

"Don't worry, with some proper dosage of painkillers and a few medicines, it will go away. At least temporarily. I will ask the nurse to fetch it for you immediately."

As soon as the doctor left, Namjoon sat up and pulled his hair.

"Fuck...What should I do? My fans wouldn't like this at all. The members will think I'm a burden. I might get replaced for all I know–No wait. Calm down Namjoon. You're fans are the most supportive and loving fandom to exist. His members are his family so of course they will understand. Especially Jin and Yoongi as they both have finished with their service as well. But it's better if they don't know."

He calmed himself before his panic attack would come in. He inhaled and exhaled. Just then the nurse came in with his medicines.

"Hello there! These are your medicines. Please take them according to the slip given to you. Ah, and the doctor advised to visit Dr. Lee Minsyuk for your injuries when you are done with your service."

The nurse instructed him as she gave him the amount of medicines he needed.

"Um excuse me. How is my friend? Jung Hoseok?"

"Oh? He's still unconscious. He'll probably wake up in a few hours."

The nurse was about to leave when Namjoon stopped her.

"Uh...Where is the doctor?"

"She's currently checking up on patients."

"Can you call her here, if you don't mind."

"Sure! Now please rest. Your body is currently weak."

Namjoon nodded and laid down and started thinking.

"Are you sure? Family and friends support is better than doing it all alone."

Namjoon nodded without hesitation.

"Fine. I'll keep it a secret and I'll ask the nurse to keep it shut as well."

"Thank you."

The doctor gave him a soft smile.

"It's my job, haha."

"Is Hoseok awake?"

"Oh yes. Its been an hour now. You can visit each other any time."

Namjoon gave a nod and a smile as the doctor left.

At least... He saved a life.

His smile faltered.
