The secret that killed us • maknae line x BTS

3 - When I wished for reality to be a nightmare

"Why can't we be ignorant".

THIRD POV

"Hyung..." the maknae called out as his voice shook.

The oldest of the three, turned his head around and his eyes widened in realization. Jungkook was injured and he was bleeding.

He quickly rushed to the maknae's side and took his injured arm to study it. He stared at the wound before he took a white handkerchief from the back pocket of his jeans.

He carefully wrapped around it around the younger's arm and secured it with a tight pull. Jungkook winced in pain and he didn't realise when a single tear fell from his eyes.

His eyes met the olders as jimin looked at him. The older could clearly see the distress and worry shining in the maknae's eyes. It was clear that he felt confused and shocked. Honestly who wouldn't?

They had taken someone else's life. A person they had never met before and would probably never meet again if what had happened hadn't.

As the two stared at each other, a muffled cry was heard from behind them. They both turned around and saw taehyung crouching on the ground and his head buried in his knees.

"Tae..." Jimin said slowly as he approached, almost tripping from the unsteadiness he felt.

Taehyung looked up, his eyes red and swollen, lips quivering and body shaking, as tears spilled down his red cheeks.

He felt awful. He felt helpless. But mostly he felt like a...monster. He had killed someone and the reality hit him way too late.

Jimin didn't share the exact feelings but he definitely felt guilty as well. He understood it. After all they were soul mates. So Jimin simply put his hand on his soul mate's shoulder calmly even though his mind was in chaos.

But he had to be calm. For he was the oldest maknae.

"Hyung what if he's alive?", Jungkook asked as he moved towards the lifeless body in absolute fear.

"Jungkook-" Jimin started.

"No, I'm serious. We're assuming he is dead..what if he isn't," the maknae said with determined eyes as he checked the pulse of the stranger. "Hey! Wake up!", he said as he shook the body. But the stranger's body moved around lousily with no life.

"Jungkook." Jimin said sternly.

"Cmon wake up!" but the maknae continued.

"Jeon jungk-".

"WAKE UP YOU ASS!," .

"Stop it.." Jimin said his hands in fists.

"WAKE UP SH-".

"STOP IT JEON JEON-GUK!" Jimin shouted angrily.

"NO HYUNG! I won't..I REFUSE TO BELIEVE WE JUST KILLED SOMEONE! WE KILLED SOMEONE! Hyung.... W-We just murdered..some-," the youngest mumbled as he broke down in silent sobs.

Jimin sighed shakily as he tried to contain his tears. Before anything else could happen, the default ringtone of the iphone silenced everything and it was all that could be heard in the darkness.

The three maknaes looked at each other before taehyung eyed his jacket pocket to see light through the fabric. He looked at the other two but before he could do anything, Jimin reached for the phone and stared at the caller ID.

"Who is it?", Taehyung asked.

"Yoongi hyung.." Jimin said with scared doubtful eyes.

"What are you going to say hyung? That we just kill-". Jungkook started.
