"She wants to kill me?" Jimin asked as soon as he saw Jungkook enter their bedroom.
"How...?"
"Jin hyung told me."
Who else would tell Jimin other than Jin? As soon as Jin heard the story from Namjoon, he immediately contacted Jimin. He told him everything from A to Z.
""I'm sorry. I should not have let Hyolyn go."
"She wants to kill me?"
The room was silent for a few seconds. Jungkook still couldn't believe that Hyolyn could do this to Jimin. He knew that Hyolyn was a good girl. He could see this based on how she treated his mother. He could see how she had been taking care of him for a few months. She was a very nice girl.
"That is what I heard."
"Kookie, what... what if she is planning something? What if she is planning to kill... me again? How about Woonie? Is he safe? We—we can't stay here. We need to move. I—I don't want to die. Y—you..."
Jimin pulled the blanket that covered his legs. He wanted to get out of bed. He wanted to take his family away from here.
It was all so fast that Jungkook didn't have time to reach Jimin. Jimin was already falling to the floor.
"God, baby! Are you okay?"
"K-Kookie, please...."
Jimin started to cry, his trembling hand holding Jungkook's face.
"It's not safe. We—"
"Baby, listen to me. We are safe."
"No... no. We are not!"
"Hey... hey...."
Jungkook cupped both of Jimin's cheeks as his thumb rubbed his husband's cheek lightly.
"We are safe. Namjoon hyung has already handled it. A few guards have been assigned to our house."
"But what if..."
"I won't let it happen. I will make sure you and Woonie are safe."
"Kookie...."
Jimin looked up, his eyes pleading for understanding. He wanted his husband to understand that he was afraid. He was afraid that something would happen to his family and friends. He was afraid that he would lose his family. He was afraid... to die.
Jungkook lifted Jimin back onto the bed. He understood Jimin's feelings. He knew Jimin was scared. Who wants to die when they have everything in their life? He has a loving husband, a cute and smart son, and a beautiful friendship. He has everything.
""You are safe, Woonie, too. No need to worry. I'm here, always."
"Papa!"
Jimin wiped the tears from his eyes with his hand.
Jinwoo did not have to knock on his father's bedroom door after seeing it wide open. He ran quickly with his hands hugging the new doll that Jungkook had bought this morning. Jinwoo did not need the help of Jimin or Jungkook to get on the bed; he was good at climbing onto his father's bed by himself.

Once he's on the bed, he pulls up the blanket and lies down beside his Papa.
"Jeon Jinwoo, what do you think you're doing?"
Jungkook's arms are folded across his chest, waiting for an answer from his son. Jimin breaks the silence with a cute giggle that evokes a happy smile from Jungkook.

"Woonie shleep here."
"No. Back to your bedroom," Jungkook orders his son. But Jinwoo closes his eyes and pretends to sleep, emitting soft snores.
"He's your son," Jungkook says while pointing at his smiling husband. Jimin can't stop smiling, his hand casually stroking Jinwoo's hair.
"He's yours too."
"And you're mine. The person that I will protect."
Jungkook spoke in an assuring tone to Jimin. He did not want Jimin to worry. He wanted Jimin to sleep well every night because he would protect his family. That was his promise.
