Jekyll & Hyde | m.yg. ✔

열: in a blink of an eye

After successfully ripping apart about half a dozen amount of bar licenses, thanks to their serendipitous decision of venturing through the overly packed neighborhood of Itaewon, Yoongi suggested that it was about time both of them headed back towards their homes. Eunbi's eyes exhibited as if she had just gotten betrayed, prompting Yoongi to ask what was up with her.

"I don't remember you dropping out the plan of us visiting bars from this evening's schedule..." Eunbi mumbled, her voice laced with nervousness. Alternately shifting her gaze between her fidgety fingers and Yoongi's slightly cheery face, she shut her eyes close tightly in the assumption of asking a wrong question at an even wronger time.

"We did visit bars though, and that's if you don't happen to have the memory of a fish." Yoongi laughed uproariously, causing Eunbi to jump at her own spot due to shock.

"But that was more sort of an official work, I thought you had asked me to come and chill out with you." Eunbi obliviously formed a little pout while complaining, which made her disappointment seem more evident. She tried to steal a quick glance at Yoongi following that, which ultimately made her want to duck her face into the ground— provided that the surface was not a concrete one— for she had realized how sulky she must have sounded for Yoongi to react in such a way.

His lips were slightly parted along with both of his brows raised. The creases visible on his forehead made it clear how uncomfortable of a posture that was for his face. If the urge to hold oneself back from retching because of cringe had a face, it would definitely be Yoongi at the moment.

"You really didn't have to do th—"

"I feel so tired, sir, I may even collapse on the floor at this rate. Can we separate our ways from here? Thank you so much for today, sir." Eunbi bowed before the man hastily before turning around on her heels to quickly vanish from his sight as soon as she could, only to get pulled back with her arm by Yoongi.

"I'm certainly not going to let you walk yourself to the subway all alone. Come on, let's go together." Yoongi announced without giving a break to Eunbi to grasp all those words and hauled her along with him.

"Actually, I was planning to go by a cab but this is also fine."

Yoongi swerved his head abruptly towards Eunbi, who was behind him. Watching her cackling awkwardly hinted him of her being at unease. Yoongi had only intended to accompany Eunbi to safety, so that not another one of a mishap took place with her when she had no one by her side to rely on. But mayhap, the female had misinterpreted his intents— if not doubted him— because of his suddenly-changed approach towards her. But he could swear on himself that it was just an outcome of his guilt towards her, and that he could not seem to ward that heavy feeling off his chest by any means that he would try.

"I'm sorry, Technician Nam. I'll drop you off on the main road and will only wait with you until you catch a taxi. Then we're good to go on our ways, right?" Yoongi proposed, to which Eunbi put forth a confused look as response.

"Did I somehow give you this impression of you bothering me? It's just my resting bitch face, sir. Believe me, it has never worked in my favor. Don't trust my face sir, it's deceiving." Eunbi grinned widely while looking at Yoongi, which led the latter to reciprocate her expression.

"What even—"

"You bitch! I've waited for years for this moment to take place! Serves you well! Now you'll know the pain that my family went through because of you. And you," a short yet burly man who appeared out of nowhere was now addressing Yoongi, "you'll know how I felt all these years because of this little shit." The man shot a disgusted look at Eunbi— who was now lying on the ground, almost lifeless with a knife stuck in her abdomen.

It had all occurred in a mere matter of seconds that Yoongi took his eyes off Eunbi and the man popped out of thin air to ruin their time. Yoongi could not quite comprehend how all of it escalated so rapidly, from Eunbi and him laughing heartily to the very same girl sputtering blood from her mouth whilst bleeding profusely from the place that the knife had been inserted into her body. He had an expertise in such instances, his instincts were almost infallible. But at that moment, even he did not know what exactly had happened to leave him so numb, with a crippling sensation running throughout his limbs.

When the male could finally muster up his courage to have an idea about the ruthless attacker's face, intimidated by Yoongi's gaze, the latter began to run away. If it were a usual situation of him carrying out a mission with his team, he would have chased him down without any second-guessing. However currently, he had considered it better to just let go of his ambition of adding more badges to the already never ending collection that he possessed.

Eunbi had passed out after struggling to endure the pain for a fair share of ten minutes, and reaching her to a hospital was undoubtedly more important to Yoongi than anything else.
