You stabbed me.
And I apologized for getting
blood on your hands.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Taehyung's knees gave up and his ended up leaning against the bed with Yoongi trying to hold him down. He was looking at the blood dripping from the table but it didn't make sense to his brain. He could feel Yoongi's hand on his shoulders, trying to make him speak but his word felt foreign.

She's alive? No! It's can't be. She's dead. I was there. I heard her scream. I heard the sharks. I was there! She's dead.

Dead. Dead. Dead. She's dead!

The thought came replaying again and again in his mind. But there was this little hope which sparked now and then but then again sizzled down to ashes.

It didn't make sense. None of it made any sense to him. The situation, the possibilities, and his own breathing didn't make sense.

His lungs shut down when his whole conscious focused on one thing, hitting him repeatedly with a hammer in his head. Tears were slipping against his cheeks and his whole left side was numb but Taehyung couldn't feel any of it.

In a matter of seconds, his whole body was covered in sweat and yet shivering. Heart feeling like it might burst open and tear his rib cage. Lungs stopped working but still it didn't stop him from sobbing his eyes raw.

Am I having a panic attack?

No, shit Sherlock. It's surely a laughter syndrome. Of course idiot! Breath.

V's voice went shooting in Taehyung's skull, making the pain in his temples go up ten folds. He screamed, to frustrated that he couldn't even control his own body. Yoongi was saying something but it wasn't audible to him, it sounded like they were talking underwater.

Yoongi gripped Taehyung's shoulders and the younger shook from the outrageous panic attack. Jihoon and Jungkook behind them were trying to clear the body out. While he and Jimin tried calming Taehyung.

"Baby, please it's okay" Yoongi hushed but Taehyung wasn't listening. He clawed on Yoongi's arm out of frustration, probably not liking the word okay.

Yoongi took a deep breath and gripped Taehyung's head gently. Making him look up at him.
"Breath...just breath... okay.?..Just look at me. Focus on me Taehyung." He muttered quietly while Jimin rubbed Taehyung's back.

"Calm down...on me..on my voice. Just focus on my voice" Yoongi creased his cheeks softly. Taehyung began relatively calm and blinked his eyes, probably snapping out of the trauma.

"Good...It's fine baby. I'm here okay? You don't need to worry" Yoongi pecked Taehyung's forehead.

"—...baby. I'm here okay? You don't need to worry" He's here. Taehyung felt his lungs finally open and take in a huge gulp of oxygen. He's here.

He let out another sob of confusion and buried his head in Yoongi's stomach. The older tightened his arms around Taehyung's head and neck, squeezing him closer. The cloth made it harder for him to breath but it felt right. To be held so tight against someone, and to make your breath with theirs.

"That fucker had the audacity to say that" Hoseok's surprised voice came into Taehyung's ear but he ignored it. He wanted to shut the entire world out.

But his little cacoon of Yoongi was broken when Jungkook ripped him away and held Taehyung's shoulder, too hard. He winced.

"Tell me. Did you see her die?" Jungkook snapped. Taehyung felt himself hyperventilate again.

"Jungkook chill" Was it Jimin? Eunjuh? Taehyung couldn't tell.

"Taehyung" Jungkook kept Taehyung held under his sharp gaze,"Did you see her die?"

"I was there" Taehyung spoke but the words felt like they belonged to someone else,"I was there. I heard her"

"I'm asking did you see her?"

"I—...I didn't..."

Of course Taehyung didn't! He had closed his eyes just at the last moment and looked away. How could he be so stupid!?

"But maybe he was lying?" Hoseok suggested as Namjoon and Jihoon came back. Apparently Jungkook had given the task to hide to Joon.

"No..." It was Jimin's grave voice that took everyone's attention. "I may not know much. But I do know, that a dying man never lies"

Taehyung fidgeted in the back seat of the car as the boys ran the most possibilities of what might had happened. Eunjuh was beside Taehyung, gripping on his bouncy knee. She gave him an assuring smile which Taehyung failed to return.

Yoongi was next to him. Looking dazed and bring unable to give Taehyung any sort of comfort.

"May the person they killed was someone else?" Namjoon said,"But Taehyung only heard Yuri cause his focus was on her"

Seokjin : "If Yeonwoo was her dad. Than I'm sure that he stuck some sort of deal with the boss. He probably saved Yuri's life in exchange of something else"

Hoseok : "But even if she is alive, which I doubt, where the hell is she? Yeonwoo is dead and we don't know any of his other alliances"

Jihoon : "I contacted Baek Hyung. He and Chanyeol ran some research on Yeonwoo's assets.  They gave me the list of all his legal and illegal properties"

"Baek? As in Taehyung's brother?" Eunjuh added into the heated conversation.

"Nah~ we are just brothers in records." Jihoon answered.

"Now what? We go around the whole Korea and check his houses? It's impossible" Jungkook put his hands out in exasperation.

Taehyung snorted. The first sound his made in a while. Everyone looked at him and waited for him to say something.

"Take the car back home and pack stuff" He barked through his gritted teeth,"If we have to go and search the whole god darn world for her. Then I'm ready"

Everyone exchanged puzzled glances before looking anywhere else. Then slowly admist the quiet car, Jimin's tiny voice came.

"Then please stop at the store. I need to buy some extra underwear"
