Fighting Love (Completed)

Chapter 13: Danger

  The door to Jimin's shop flies open and Hoseok dashes out, a gun in his hand. He sees Jimin pinned to the ground by Jungkook " get up slowly hands in the air" " Hoseok, he is protecting me, someone shot at us" Hoseok lowered the gun still on edge " sorry I didn't know what the hell happened so I assumed....." Jungkook sat up slowly grimacing at the pain in his hands            " Jimin, are you hurt?" Jimin sat up staring at his bleeding hands " I have glass in my hands, but other than a few bruises I'm ok" Hoseok rushed to his side helping him to his feet " come inside so we can get the glass out" Jimin turned to Jungkook "are you ok?" he nodded. 

  Jimin knowing he is ok went off" what were you thinking throwing yourself on top of me like a human shield. Unless you're wearing a bulletproof vest under your leather you still could have been fucking shot" Jimin chocked back a sob as the adrenaline waned, the events that had just occurred sinking in making him shake. Hoseok pulled him into his arms " shhhhh it's ok, lets get you in the house" Hoseok glanced at Jungkook " you too I want to know what the hell just happened" he guided Jimin into the house his arm never leaving his waist. 

  They walked inside, heading upstairs to Jimin's compact kitchen. Jin is in the kitchen dozens of cookies piled on plates on the counter " was everything ok?" he asked vacantly not bothering to turn and look " Jin, I need alcohol and tweezers right now" Jin turned surprised at the tone in Hoseok's voice. Jin gasped seeing a disheveled Jimin and Jungkook, he gasped " my god! Are you ok?" Jin directs the question at both of them "Hoseok took off with his gun saying someone one was shooting at the building, I thought he was just being paranoid. It sounded like a car backfiring but honestly, I haven't been around many guns" Hoseok placed his gun on the counter " exactly! So when I tell you to go to your room and stay there, you need to listen to me. I'm pissed to find you baking cookies for fuck' sake" this side of Hoseok rarely ever comes out, this side can be a bit scary.

  Hoseok the dance teacher is also a police officer, he works for the violent crimes unit. He is only called in for the most horrific cases. You're probably asking yourself, why does he teach dance? The answer is simple. When you see the most horrifying things imaginable you need an escape, something to take you away from it all, if even for a moment, for him that is dancing. When he danced nothing else mattered but the rhythm of the music, it took total control of his mind and body leaving him if only for the moment....... free.

  Jin froze in place, panic building inside him, Hoseok's harsh tone and body language triggered him, his legs shook, his brain shouting at him to run before he hits him. Jin sank to the floor sobbing, covering his head he began to sob. Jimin is on his feet racing to Jin " Hoseok, go with Jungkook to his place now!" his voice left no room for argument.

  Hoseok took a step forward, he hadn't meant to raise his voice, he was merely concerned for him and frustrated that he hadn't listened when there was danger. If anything was to happen to Jin.....he shook his head pivoting on his heels he left the house. 

  Jungkook took a step forward, Jimin held his hand up to stop him " you can't be here right now it will just make things worse, just go" Jungkook's shoulders slumped he wanted to help, but he turned slowly walking away. Jin's heartbreaking sobs punching him in the gut with every step.

  As soon as he stepped outside Hoseok asked " do you smoke?" he nodded " can I have one?" Jungkook pulled his pack out of the inner pocket of his leather jacket pulling two out he handed one to him, and stuck the other in between his lips, lighting the cigaret and taking a deep drag he passed the lighter to Hoseok. They remained quiet for a few minutes before Hoseok swore loudly kicking the side of the building " I try so fucking hard not to slip around him, but god damn it he was baking fucking cookies while someone was shooting at the shop" Jungkook inhaled deeply waiting for him to calm down " I know you didn't mean to upset him and I'm sure when he calms down he will understand why you were upset, but for now let's just go to my place and have a beer" Hoseok snorted "you know I did a background check on you" Jungkook froze "you had no right to do that" Jungkook spat out.

   Hoseok stomped out his smoke " the hell I didn't, those two in there are the closest thing to family I have, I will not let just anyone near them, and with your rap sheet you're lucky I'm letting you breathe the same air as them." Jungkook has had enough he steps up to Hoseok " that shit is long over I've kept my nose clean since I opened my shop, so fuck off with that bull shit," Hoseok smirked " I'm sure Jimin would be shocked to hear about your exploits," Jungkook clenched his fist " cop or not I will beat your fucking ass," "stop it!" Jimin shouted appearing out of the shadows "Hoseok I love you but you need to stop doing this, is this the reason you came for a visit? Because I will be pissed. I'm not a teenage boy anymore, I can take care of myself. I couldn't care less if Jungkook has a rap sheet a mile long because as he said," he has kept his nose clean since opening his shop" so that says a lot. Running a background check on him is an abuse of power and I'm disappointed in you for doing something like that, and even more disappointed that you couldn't trust my judgment. Now I am going to bed, Jungkook we will talk tomorrow. Hoseok you can sleep in Jin's room he's sleeping with me" Jimin turned and walked back into his house slamming the door behind him.

Hoseok sighed " look I wasn't doing it to be a dick. I genuinely am concerned for their wellbeing both of them have had issues in their past, and I don't want to see them hurt again" Jungkook nodded " like I said all that shit is in my past, my shop takes up most of my time and energy.  Honestly, I see why you did it and can't be mad about it, so let's be cool. I don't want Jimin made at me for beating his friend's ass, "Hoseok chuckled " you are so whipped for him" Jungkook grinned not denying it.
