Track 07

Chapter Thirty-Three

Before you can turn off the car, Jungkook's already next to the guy. The phone he called Jungkook with lies next to him. He seems to be talking. That's a good sign.

You get out of the car and approach the two men. The one lying down wears a huge bright red jacket. It looks a bit worn out. His brown hair is wet from the blood. His breaths are short and flat.

"I call the ambulance?" You take out your phone. "No!" The guy on the sidewalk says. "They'll bring me back. I don't wanna go back." He truly seems scared. "Hyung, don't worry. You won't be going back. You're coming with us. How did you even end up here?" The guy doesn't seem to have heard him. "Hoseok. Hoseok." Jungkook repeats his name, but the man doesn't respond. "Hobi. Hobi hyung." Jungkook tries to calm him, while he presses on his wounds with his hands. Finally he looks Jungkook into the eyes. He's been injured bad.

"They came running after me, they had knives, you know I can't fight. I didn't stand a chance." Hoseok is sobbing now. Jungkook looks at you: "Y/n! Help me get him up." You knee besides him. He's beautiful even though he's covered in blood. You put your arm under his shoulders and, together with Jungkook, you manage to get him up. "You sure we don't need to call an ambulance?" "I'm sure. This is not the first time." You wonder what Jungkook and Hoseok have been through. But if this isn't his first time, then it's definitely not been pretty.

After 5 minutes, you somehow all end up in your car. Jungkook and Hoseok on the back seats. Hoseok's head lies in Jungkook's lap. "We need to get to my place. I have everything we need there." Jungkook tells you his address and you start the car. During the whole ride the black haired man talks to his friend in a calming manner. Which is good, cause it calms you down as well. Your adrenaline is pumping and you're sweating as hell, but you're fully awake. Your concentration is as high as it's never been. You need to bring them home safely. You don't want this man to die on your backseat.

How did you even end up here? Just a couple of hours ago you were nearly kissing Jimin, and now your saving a man's life.

After 15 minutes you arrive at Jungkook's place. Luckily he doesn't live far. His flat is on the second floor. It takes all you have to bring Hoseok up the stairs. He can still walk, but he's really weak. His blood is dripping all over the stairs. 'I gotta clean that up later' you think, while you arrive at the door of Jungkook's apartment.
