Gunshots rang throughout the forest of Geojeodo Island. Jhope's face warps with rage and continuously firing his gun with his remaining men.
Suga appeared at his side ducking down avoiding the stream of bullets coming.
"Hyung we're outnumbered, and only half of the weapons were retrieved."
"Let's leave immediately. Don't think about the weapons now. But we need to find Taehyung first." Suga sighed in anger. "Let's go."
Both of them left the area while their outlasting men remained not stopping shooting their guns at the secret agents.

Whereas, on the other side of the forest Jimin and Jungkook were also engaged in the gunfight.
Jungkook ducked low on the bushes and moved toward Jimin. "Hyung, you should go and find 99. Leave this to us."
Without any hesitation, Jimin nodded in response and dashed out from the area.

Running fast was the only way to get away from the agents. Suga and Jhope halted after realizing they're already surrounded by the four agents with guns pointing at them.
"You go first and find V. Let's meet at the boat." Suga mumbled to Jhope between his ragged breath.
Without further ado, both of them charged forward and tapped their guns to the agents behind. Two more agents left.
"Go!" Suga exclaimed to Jhope as he reloaded his gun. Jhope took the chance to sprint away from them while the other two agents are still on the ground.
Suga fights with the other two, tossed one over his back, and shoots his gun at the other one.
He aimed his gun to finish the agent he tossed earlier who's still on the ground, yet another agent came and shoot his handgun for him to let go of it.
Jungkook's expression was intense locking his eyes on Suga. "You should quit right now."
"Not today, young man." Suga arrogantly blurted. He tackled Jungkook slamming the gun into the ground, jarred it from Jungkook's hand.
They both stood up and held up their fists in an offensive stance. Without waiting, Jungkook charged towards Suga and reflexively punched him twice in the face.
Feeling the sharp stinging pain in the mouth, Suga smirked as he wiped the blood from his lip.
Jungkook tried to punch him once again in his abdomen but he dodged it and hit Jungkook's jaw with his elbow hard. Jungkook stumbled back and hit his head on the hard tree probably couldn't get up any soon.
Suga immediately left the unconscious agent and headed straight to the boat.

The noise of the rain lessened and the drops faded.
Jeongyeon's eyes already hurt from crying, her throat hurts, her head hurts, but what hurts the most was her chest.
She knew everything is temporary, but she didn't expect this was merely one of those things, her happiness. Her being with him.
She thought of every promise she made to him, every promise she broke.
She unexpectedly heard someone running and halted just beside her, she immediately lifted her head toward the person hoping it's Taehyung who came back to her.
However, disappointment was painted on her face after realizing it's not him.
"Jeong" Jimin instantly joined her on the ground and embraced her tightly. "I'm glad we've found you."
"Jimin-ah" she spoke in a small voice. Tears once again steadily flowed down her cheeks.
"Shhhh you're safe now." he softly whispered rubbing her back.
"I didn't... I didn't mean to. This wasn't I wanted Jimin." her voice came out as a small whimper between her sobs. She held him tighter as her tears streamed down to his shoulders.
Jimin could hear her silently screaming, suffocating with each breath she took. It's new to him seeing her this vulnerable, he's used to the tough woman he knew then.
The sight of her being hurt like this was too painful for him.
He pulled away from the hug and looked at Jeongyeon in the eyes while holding her both shoulders. "Jeong, look at me. Breath. It's not your fault, okay? Believe me." his thumb caressing her cheek, wiping her tears away.
Jeongyeon nodded and let out a deep inhale and exhale. She's thankful Jimin came and eased her. She knew he's confused about what happened to her but he respected her feelings and did not ask anything.
Jimin gave her a fragile smile and held her back to his arm.
Her vision started to darken and her whole body gave up itself. Jimin felt her body slumped against him, unconscious.
He looked at her with guilt. "I'm not going to leave you again Jagiya. You're never going to have to suffer by yourself again. I promise."
•••
All the while, Taehyung stayed from the distance, hiding in the dark watching Jeongyeon.
He couldn't help but look over her. He wanted to come back pick her up to the ground and tell her everything is fine.
But he can't, he's still deeply hurt, that statement of hers severely affected his heart.
He knew she's lying. He recalled how sincere she was towards him. He knew in his heart how real everything is from the start.
His attention was diverted to someone who ran across him.
"At last, I saw you!" Jhope whisper shouted, still panting after minutes of running. " Let's go Tae, we need to hurry."
"But hyung." he breathed out taking a glance at his hyung and looked back to where Jeongyeon was.
His eyes narrowed at what he saw. A man kneeled and embraced Jeongyeon and she held him back. His face went blank and hands tightened into a fist.
It burned his heart seeing someone else hold her and the thought of her loving that man and not him. Jealousy and anger took over him.
Without thinking, he snatched Jhope's gun and led the way towards them. However, Jhope was fast enough to stop him. He gripped Taehyung's arm. "Not now Tae, we're too weak to get our revenge now. Let's go."
Taehyung took another glance at Jeongyeon and the man who's still holding her before turning to his hyung and nodded as an answer.
"It doesn't end here Yeona, I'll get you back."
