Ignore mistakes, please

Third person P.O.V

The van was speeding up, breaking the speed limit at many points because they were sure of the police behind them.

"THE HECK! I TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL!" The driver and Minho's acquaintance yelled in frustration, clearly on the verge of losing control.

"I- I didn't know, ok? That fu**ing Jeon never leave me alone." Minho seethed, unconsciously tightening his grip over the brunet's wrist who was sitting beside him, head over his shoulder.

On hearing the name of Jungkook, Taehyung felt something in his heart. Maybe, it was a speck of happiness that the other still cared for him, or maybe, something else?

"You're really not so good, Lee. I should've known better before making this deal!" The other again retorted, banging his hand on the steering wheel, and unexpectedly, Minho flinched at that, which didn't go unnoticed by Taehyung.

Now, the hazy mind of Taehyung was getting clear and he was understanding the situation. Using his energy that seemed to be restored to some extent, he again tried to open his eyes and this time, finally succeeded.

Minho when noticed the other stirring beside him and groaning, he got panicked.

Taehyung when opened his eyes, was met with the darkness of the van as the windows were tinted and the next thing was Minho's pale face.

"Tae-"

"What are - you doing?!" His voice broke due to a wave of pain in his head.

"I- we- Please calm down, yeah?" Minho tried to touch him but he backed off with fear-filled eyes.

"Great, just great! Now your little doll is up as well?! Make him shut up and better unconscious!" The other said from the front seat, throwing a small bottle toward Minho.

Taehyung's eyes widened when Minho took hold of the bottle and grabbed a handkerchief from his pocket.

"Minho! Why are you doing that?! We are friends! Please- hey!" He shrieked when the older male tried to get a grip of him but luckily, his kick stopped him right on time.

"I like you a lot, Tae baby. I love you. Please, make me do it. I promise to make it better-"

"Shut up! Are you out of your mind? We- I- I always considered you as a friend! Nothing more!"

Minho gritted his teeth on hearing that. He clutched the hankie in his fist as the other hand yanked the brunet forward.

"And what about Jeon? Hm? He is more than a friend, just because he was there for you with his money?" Taehyung got scared, never ever thought to see but now witnessing the fury in those eyes that were mostly blank... it made him scared. The grip tightened more on the wrist and unfortunately, that was a burnt hand, making the brunet wince in pain.

"Minho, you- you're hurting me." The words sank slowly as the grip loosened with the fury fading away.

As per habit, Minho bit his upper lip and sighed.

"Please, baby.. try to understand, I really love you. I'll- I'll give you everything you need and we can live happily, away from everyone who hurt you, Seoyun, Jeon, that stupid Choi, your Aunt, her husband, your mother, sister- everyone." The desperation in his voice made Taehyung feel the pain but he ignored that, more focused on the words.

"You- what are you? You're spying on me?" Minho shook his head and again tried to get hold of the other but Taehyung only scooted away.

"Don't! Don't touch me!"

"Ok, ok. I'm not touching you, but please calm down. Everything will be fine, believe me. My dear, please-" Their car halted abruptly, causing them both to fall forward.

"Shit! They're everywhere!" The driver shouted, reversing the car in a great hurry before again speeding up.

From the back glass, they can see the police cars behind and speed just like their car.

In a panic, Minho again got hold of the handkerchief but Taehyung protested again. Sensing the situation, the driver threw a teaser toward Minho.

"Just make him shut up or I'll kill you both!" Showing clear panic, Minho quickly nodded.

"No! No, please Minho. I- I have a family! You can't do that to me!"

"Baby, don't make it difficult, please." This time, his voice came out colder and stoic which made Taehyung only curl back in fear. The doors were definitely locked but he started yelling and hitting the windows in the hope that maybe the passer-by cars do something as the police cars disappeared.

"HELP ME! PLEASE HELP ME- NO!" Again kicking the older, he resumed the calls for help, and that made Minho madder. He harshly yanked Taehyung away from the window and pressed the hankie on his nose.

"Don't make me hurt you, breath in!" He shouted when Taehyung held his breath, shaking his head, hands trying his best to prey off the other.

The weak fists collided with his chest and Taehyung's face became red but he was being stubborn, holding on to his last hope.

Looking at his love being like that, made him teary-eyed.

"Please- please breath, Tae.. please." His tear fell on Taehyung's forehead as he was hovering over him, having full control over his whole body.

Just when Taehyung lost all of his hope, the last image of a smiling Jungkook appeared in his eyes before he inhaled and let his hands fall on the leather seats, making Minho smile in relief.

But before the other could inhale properly, the car again halted, this time more abruptly that Minho fell back with the hankie in his hand. Taehyung inhaled greedily from the air but his mind became a bit dizzy because of the amount he just took in.

The driver cursed loudly when someone dragged him out and soon, the back door of the van opened as well, dragging Minho out next. 

Taehyung tried to sit up and was quickly helped by someone who gently dragged him out of the van.

"NO! He is mine! Please!" Minho was yelling all while being dragged towards the police car, his hands were already cuffed with the driver followed behind him.

Taehyung watched him with a hazy gaze, how the other hit the policeman who was holding him, to rush towards him. The action scared him again but the policeman stopped Minho before he could even reach him.

"You can have anyone in your life! You are perfect. But he is the only one to understand me, please let him be mine, JEON!" The shout of the name at the end made Taehyung turn his head back to see the said male standing there, with teary eyes but cold expressions.

"I'm not perfect but I can do anything for him! Let him be mine! Please" At this point, Minho was crying when he fell to his knees and the way he was pleading, made everyone pity him.

"You're not in your senses, Lee. I'm not stopping you from having anyone, just be healthy first to do so." Jungkook muttered before wiping his tears.

On hearing that, Minho shoots up, ready to launch on Jungkook, his rival... but could only thrash in the firm hold of the officers.

"I'M NOT MENTAL!! I'M FINE! PERFECTLY FINE! I'M NOT INSANE!" Jungkook nodded his head in response, genuinely feeling sad for the other as he was dragged to the car again.

"He won't be sent on a trail, right? He needs medical attention, officer." Taehyung heard the words when the senior officer went to the younger Jeon as Jayson came to him.

"Don't worry, based on his previous records, we can't send him to jail but maybe to a mental hospital." Taehyung gasped but was embraced by warmth.

"Thank God, you're ok. He didn't do anything, right? Have you hurt anywhere?" Jayson asked after pulling back and looking around the whole body of the brunet to find the burnt skin in bad condition and a little bruise over his temple.

"I'm- fine," Taehyung mumbled tiredly and tried to get up when he saw Jungkook coming his way.

The senior officer came to him after sending the other cars to the station.

"Young man, we need your statement about the incident but before that, go to the hospital." He gestured to Jungkook who nodded in response.

"I'll take care of it. Thank you so much." Jungkook thanked the other, bowing to him in gratitude and the officer chuckled before patting his back.

"That's my job." With that, they left, except for a few who were searching through the van. Jungkook silently went back to his car and Jayson guided Taehyung.

But before entering the car, Taehyung felt suffocated by the other's attitude as Jungkook was avoiding him. He gently got out of the older's grip and stumbled towards Jungkook who almost entered the driver's seat but stopped on the tug.

The chloroform was still making him dizzy but he cared less. Tugging over the other's shirt sleeve as the coat wasn't there, Taehyung frowned.

When Jungkook turned back, he wore that cold expression like before and said nothing but he was sure that brunet wasn't fine as his eyes were drooping.

"Th- thank y-" The words remained incomplete when the brunet swayed forward and in an instant, Jungkook quickly wrapped his arms around him.

"Kim? Kim?!" He called the other who was half awake and pondered on the word as it was just like a deja vu.

"Kim! Kim?!"

That voice?

"Don't worry, it must be due to the chloroform. We found this in there. But still, take him to the hospital." The policeman, who was searching the van, said while showing a bottle and hankie in a plastic bag when he noticed the Jeons panicking.

"Oh. Thank you. Kook, let's go." Jayson thanked the officer and opened the backseat door for Jungkook to lay the other there.

Jungkook softly traced the bruise over the temple when he noticed that and pecked there.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, Taebear." Without his notice, his tear fell on the other's cheek who had his eyes closed.

"Kook?" Jayson patted his back when he kept leaning over the other.

Wiping his remaining tears, he hummed and got out of the car.

"Let's go."

During the drive, he kept glancing at the brunet, cursing himself continuously for his stupidity of confessing like that.

Jayson was not oblivious to the mixed feelings of his grandson but he kept quiet for the time being.

When they reached the hospital, doctors had a complete checkup of the brunet and announced that everything was fine and nothing to worry about. That announcement was enough to make Jungkook finally breathe.

Jin and Yoongi were also there and it took all their effort to stop the latter from attacking Jungkook.

"I told you to act wisely, but now I feel, you don't deserve him." Yoongi spat that before leaving the raven-haired with the others.

Jin was also worried but he could sense the sadness and pain of Jungkook, couldn't unsee the grief in usually cold eyes.

Jayson, who again said nothing, was kind of feeling dejected as well because the matter wasn't small, anything could've happened.

"Jungkook, don't mind him. He is just worried about Taehyung. That brat is finding his younger brother in him." Jin softly said and dragged him to the nearest chair.

"I'm not blaming anyone, hyung. He is right, I did act recklessly from day one. All of my words, and actions, did nothing but hurt him. I really- don't deserve him." Those words left his clogged throat like the biggest lump. He wasn't ready to lose him too, but everything was against him, maybe his fate was against him.

"Don't say that-"

"No, there is nothing left. I don't want him to hate me again and to prevent that, it's better to take the decision as soon as possible. Because losing him maybe- maybe a better choice instead of being hated by h- him." Jin frowned when Jungkook abruptly got up from the chair and went to the room where Taehyung was kept for a while.

He silently entered the room and took hold of the other's burnt hand, pecking the fingers very gently he placed it back.

"Never knew, I'm this much cursed and stupid." He chuckled but his eyes were getting teary.

"While trying my best to keep myself stronger, I broke myself again. But don't worry, bear." He breathed out, leaning over the other's face and this time, pecked the forehead near the bruise, lips lingering there for a while before he pulled back.

"I just want to see you happy. I don't want to see you conflicted, scared, or sad. You don't need to feel any sort of burden on this precious heart of yours." Another broken chuckle left his lips and on the contrary, his tears fell on the other's closed eyes.

Jin and Jayson were looking from the doorway. The older Jeon was on the verge of crying after witnessing his broken boy once again and his helplessness.

"You deserve the world, someone who can actually make you happy. A beautiful, nice, and kind g- girl." With that, he stepped back, a sad smile adorned his lips while his eyes were just like an open dam, letting all the tears fall freely.

"I wish you a beautiful life ahead." Another step back and he could feel his heart clenching tightly.

"-with someone, who can call you theirs and whom you can call y- yours, without any hesitation." And with another step, his back collided with something. On turning back, he was met with the teary eyes of his dada.

"Kook-"

He hastily wiped his tears and rubbed the whole face before smiling.

"Let's go, dada. It was such a long day, I'm so tired." Hearing that, Jayson inhaled deeply and smiled back, nodding his head.

Jungkook glanced over his shoulder for the last time before running away from the room or more like running away from a specific someone.

That's how his love life was concluded by his fate, again making him a coward. But did he regret it? No, he didn't regret but instead, made himself more cold-hearted, more stubborn to keep himself in solidarity by making his mind a contender of his heart.
