So...Mark maybe isn't "dead."

Allow me to explain the last couple of hours.

Jungkook and I cried in each other's arms before calling emergency services. We assumed he would go to jail for "killing" Mark. I cried like a baby as I repeated "I love you 3,000" to my Iron Man at least three thousand times. He even gave me his black hoodie to keep me warm while he was "locked up." As we waited for the first responders to arrive Mark started to stir, which signaled that he was still alive.

Jungkook and I instinctively put him in a chokehold until the police arrived.

We then gave our statements.

Jungkook explained that he was awoken when he rolled off the bed in his drunken state. That caused him to realize that I never came to bed. He searched for and couldn't find me in the cabin. He then stepped outside, frustrated from my absence, to get fresh air.

That's when he found my phone on the ground.

He rewatched my recent live stream and noticed the comments asking me to step outside. One particular comment caught his attention:

"YouNeverWalkAlone1310: 'Going to the waterfall tonight'."

That's what led him to search for me at the waterfall. The police arrested Mark and let us go free.

Now Jungkook and I are walking through the town. We know Seokjin and Taehyung will have questions that we are not sure how to answer at this time. I wish I could forget this happened considering it's all my fault.

We come to an overlook where we can view the town safely from the side of a cliff.

Jungkook leans against the railing, chest moving up and down as he takes a breath of fresh air.

"Thanks," I whisper, voice rough from not talking within the last hour.

Turning to face me, he gives a cheeky smile. "No need to thank your own personal Iron Man."

I want to smile back but there's this weight of guilt that I need to get off my chest. "I need to thank my Iron Man over 3,000 times." My gaze adverts from him to the town below us. "You could've- could've died today because of me." My voice shakes, tears forming in my eyes.

"But I didn't. Want to know why? Because 'I am Iron Man'."

"This is real life, Jungkook!"
