Joonie || NamBTS

20) An angel from heaven

A slap.

A sound that rang through bts leader's room, making everyone shudder in their places.

As soon as Jin's fingers collided with Jungkook's cheek, it left a dark red hand mark. Jungkook's head snapped to the other side and tears started to well up as he held his cheek, his eyes going blurry.

Jin, on the other side, was fuming with spleen. His own eyes red with crying so much, the tears, however, didn't stop.

"Why would you do that t-to h-him, jungkook-ah?", he whispered. His voice coming out broken and watery.
Jungkook looked up, his lips trembling, trying to form coherent words but everything seemed far too difficult. As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the lump in his throat made him cough violently.

"Hyung, please, let jungkook go", a voice called from behind the alpha leader and he turned around to see just who it was.

Jimin, of course.

"He fucking broke him! And you want me to let him leave!?", he shouted, making jimin flinch. His voice was venomous.

"We had already broken him", yoongi said slowly, making everyone turn to look at him. He looked up, "We did. Have you seen his body? His face? There are marks all over him but we never noticed. He looked so tired, like he hadn't been eating but we stayed oblivious", his eyes gushed with watery emotions. "Y'know what he said? He said he didn't wanna fucking live anymore. And that's our fault!", he cried. Everyone gasped at the revelation. More tears pouring out of their beautiful orbs.

"No, it's all my fault", jungkook whispered. Jin quickly pulled him into a strong embrace, sobbing with him. "I'm sorry, kook. I'm sorry. And it's not only your fault. It's ours too. I'm so sorry, baby", he chanted into the younger's hair, holding him tightly.

They all looked at namjoon who was lying peacefully on his bed. Small bandages adorning his body.

He looked... Peaceful. Absolutely peaceful.

Jungkook pulled out from the hug and went to sit beside the bed, where the omega was lying.

He ran a hand throw Namjoon's hair, smiling through his unshed tears. In this state, namjoon looked so so broken, so shattered but still beautiful. Oh, so beautiful. Like an angel fallen from heaven, who thought the human world was pretty. But never realized how wrong he was. He looked like an angel whose wings were cut before he could fly, who lost himself in this cruelly beautiful reality called life.

It was heart wrenching. The irony of it all. How they thought Namjoon was the one hurting them but the whole time, it was the other way round. He was hurting. He was in pain. Yet, he never said a word. Just accepted what was continuously thrown his way. The pain, the insults, the cruel words, he took it all. Not complaining once. While they took all their chances to put him down, degrade him and release their anger out, on him. And here they thought, he was the one being selfish.

Everyone shedded tears. It was so so unfortunate. So unfortunate that they were the one inflicting pain on their sweet, lovely leader. Their lover who never thought about himself before them, who was ever so selfless.

Sitting in the room, all helpless, in completely defeaning silence, they realized one thing. They caused so much heartbreak to Namjoon just because he didn't love them anymore.

And as if on cue, Jackson came barging into the room. "Where's Namjoon?", he asked fastly. "You can't see him", taehyung said coldly. He knew he was doing wrong but he couldn't help himself. He didn't want Jackson to meet Namjoon in such a vulnerable state.

"I said, where's Namjoon!?", Jackson spat angrily at he gripped tae's colour. Hoseok quickly came towards him and pushed him off of taehyung, making him stumble back.

Jin raised a hand towards taehyung and hoseok, gesturing them to stay in their places. He looked at jackson who looked back at him with a murderous glare. Jin pointed towards the bed, asking Jackson to come inside. As soon as Jackson reached the bed, jungkook stood up to give him space, quite reluctantly but as much as he hated to do so, he knew namjoon needed jackson.

As soon as Jackson so Namjoon's face, he couldn't help but burst into tears of agony. His namjoon was lying on the bed, scars adorning his features, covered in tiny bandages but he still managed to look as divine as always.

"Joonie...", he called out brokenly, taking Namjoon's right hand in his. He rested his forehead on their clasped hands as he sobbed uncontrollably. He knew namjoon wasn't fine but he still let him be. He still let him be with his members even though they were the ones inflicting pain to his dear friend.

"Why would you do that to him!?", he whisper yelled at soon as he realized that jungkook had caused all this. Jungkook visibly flinched at the harsh tone, trying to say something but nothing came out.

Jackson scoffed through his tears and looked at each of them. "Why would you hate him in the first place? Why?", he asked, a little more broken than before.

Yoongi seriously had to huff at this. The audacity Jackson had! First, he has a fling with namjoon and then he acts as nothing happened!

"This is all because of you!", he clenched his fists and he looked directly into the got7 member's eyes.

Jackson looked at him as if he had gone mad. "Me? Hah! I'd laugh at that if I didn't love Joonie!", he spat.

"See, that's what. You love Namjoon and he loves you and that's why he cheated on us. That is why it all started. This is how we all started ignoring him, which lead to this", yoongi pulled at his head out of annoyance and frustration.

Jackson was shocked to say the least. He didn't know what yoongi was talking about. He loved namjoon. Of course he did. Just not in the way they were thinking.

"I- we- never... We never-", "Oh, please. Don't you dare lying. I saw you fucking kiss him outside the Cafe. And you fucking said 'I love you' to each other!", taehyung accused, cutting the elder off. He hated liers and he was sure Jackson was one.

It took some time for Jackson to realize what taehyung was saying. His head snapped right up as he looked at them with red eyes, his alpha senses tingling with fury.

"We were not kissing! It may have looked like we were but he just kissed my cheek. And we said 'I love you' because we fucking love each other. We really do! Just not in the way y'all are thinking. He's my best friend, my brother, goddammit!", he shouted. "Why would punish him for something he didn't do!?", he cried, hugging Namjoon's now small frame. Jackson felt so guilty for causing all this misunderstanding.

On the other hand, all bts members were shocked. Eyes widening, gasps becoming louder.

Jin looked at Namjoon's beautiful face. His face which looked like a fairytale. A soft pulchritudinous scenery. His cheeks rosy like rose petals. His face which once held all the happiness, all the joy, without the scars of gloom.

Namjoon's beauty still managed to shine, ever after they tainted it. With hurt, guilt, hatred, insults just because he didn't- they thought he didn't love them.

And that's when he realized. That it was all-

"A misunderstanding..."
