As I write this letter mom, I'm not sure how much worse this war can get. But I promise to watch out for myself and my fellow soldiers, save a seat for me at home. Okay? I'll never forget your cooking compared to what we get here. I love you. Keep yourself safe and healthy!

-Jungkook

The boy sighed as he folded his letter and slipped it into an envelope, he let his head fall back against the wall of the small bunker and he relaxed for a moment. But only a moment. He would be slacking if it was anything longer than a small moment of peace.

"Jeon, commander wants you." One of the other soldiers informed him. Jungkook nodded a little before hastily getting off his bed and walking to the office of his commanding officer. He knocked and waited for a small 'okay' before he entered the room.

"Sir. You called for me?" Jungkook bowed politely to the older man.

"Yes. You are to stay in the back lines acting as a medic during our next battle." The commander held a cold look like he always did as he looked at Jungkook who nodded and saluted the man.

"As you wish sir."

"Then you are dismissed."

With that, Jungkook turned and walked out of the room, letting out a small breath he hadn't realized he was holding. "Is he that scary?"

Jungkook lifted his head to the sudden voice, smiling and shaking his head a little. "After all the things I've seen, you'd think it'd get easier to face him." He chuckled.

"I'm pretty sure every guy here feels the same, kid." The other hummed, ruffling Jungkook's hair.

"I bet you aren't afraid Yoongi." Jungkook sighed.

Yoongi smirked. "Well, you'd be right then, kid. I have bigger things to be afraid of in this fight, so I'm not afraid of a cranky old man in a chair."

Jungkook thought about what Yoongi said for a bit before nodding. "That's solid reasoning, but I'm still a little scared." He smiled shyly.

"Well, maybe get some rest. Then decide if you are." Yoongi suggested with a shrug. "Seems to work for me."

"I still don't get how you get away with so much sleep." Jungkook laughed before waving and walking off to his bed. He sighed as he stared up at the ceiling. "Not afraid.." He mumbled before letting himself sink into sleep.

Jungkook was afraid.

Loud noises all around him as he jolted upright suggested that there had been an attack made on the small base. All he could do at first was panic, freezing up and watching everyone rush around to get their things and get out to the fight. He eventually snapped out of it and slipped into the same mindset of the others in the room. Getting himself dressed and grabbing his gun, then turning to run out of the bunker.

Fire. It was the first thing Jungkook saw when he got outside. It seemed to be everywhere and only growing as time passed. He stared for a while until he heard a sound he dreaded. Gunshots all around. He quickly raised his gun and fired a few shots as well before taking cover.

"Morning kid, hope the alarm worked." Yoongi laughed next to Jungkook, making the boy jump.

"Y-Yoongi! Don't joke like that. We have to- Where's your gun..?"  The younger of the two furrowed his eyebrows when he realized Yoongi was quite literally just sitting there.

"I seem to have misplaced it." Yoongi shrugged, though he winced as he did. Jungkook noticed and he quickly opened Yoongi's shirt to find a bullethole bored into his stomach, his hand covered in blood.

"Yoongi! You got shot!" Jungkook cried out in disbelief, glancing up at Yoongi.

"I'm aware of that." Yoongi chuckled quietly. "All it takes is one stray bullet to take someone down, even me Kook."

"Don't talk like that, I'm gonna get you to a medic!" Jungkook shook his head before picking Yoongi off and running away from the fight. He was going to save Yoongi, or die trying.
