"care to explain what happened a day ago?" jimin crossed his arms, still standing beside the counter top while facing jungkook.

the younger closed the front door after taehyung left. he shyly went to jimin who's waiting for him to explain.

"uh—you were shot and—"

"just cut the bullshit and get straight to the point. i get it, i got shot that's why i got this wound. how did you not get hurt when you went to me knowing that kronos was still there?" jimin bluntly asked him.

"n-no, hyung. they immediately escaped when you blacked out. two cars drove fast away from that street and i didn't get to see the shooter since he's hiding also," jungkook said with a small voice.

he's terrified, of course. it's his first time seeing jimin this mad. he knew that he should've stayed and he shouldn't have followed jimin. but he got a point, he might get shot too if the gunman didn't ran away after shooting jimin.

but at some point, he's thankful that he followed the older. no one will be there to save his life.

jimin glared at him. he didn't mind opening his mouth to scold the boy again.

"a-and i screamed for help but no one's approaching me. luckily, a man with pale complexion and blonde hair came rushing and carried you inside his car together with me," jungkook continued. "at first i got scared, because he's a complete stranger to me—"

"he's yoongi. he's with me that time," jimin took a deep breath and remembered yoongi's face before they separated for jimin's failed plan of killing kronos' boss.

whilst jimin was still standing, jungkook noticed that the older is flinching. "does it still hurt?" he asked.

"it doesn't hurt that much now,"

"well, obviously. you can already stand on your own," jungkook formed a small smile.

it still confuses jimin that the bullet is already gone inside his lower abdomen. jungkook also told him that yoongi didn't brought him to the hospital to take off the bullet. he's surprised that jungkook did it on his own. for the equipments that he used, yoongi helped him by searching for it in some medical stores even before they went to the apartment.

he's quite impressed because jungkook made a first aid to stop jimin's continuous bleeding.

"you stitched me too?" jimin's brow arched. the younger just nodded.

"how did you know all of this?" jimin sat down in his couch and jungkook did the same.

he became tense. he didn't know what to answer to that question. and because of that sudden behavior, jimin became suspicious. "are you hiding something?"

the boy quickly shook his head in response. "no, i'm not hiding something!" he bit his lower lip and fiddled his fingers out of nervousness.

"then why are you acting like that?"

still, no response.

jungkook almost jumped because of shock when jimin harshly slapped the center table. "just answer me!"

"because i was tortured a few years back and i was forced to cure myself to heal my wounds!"

the latter's mouth was slightly agape after his sudden answer. "w-what?" jimin looked confused.

jungkook couldn't hold back his tears anymore, he sniffed and wiped his cheek. his head down low, trying not to look at the older's face full of anger.

"i'm sorry if i did all of this to you and you don't approve to this, hyung. it's just that i couldn't bear seeing someone hurt again," he sniffed again.
