Hoseok stood up, trying to keep his balance and looking for Kara with his gaze. His ears were ringing, and his eyes stung from the smoke and ash.

"Kara?" he looked around frantically, his heart racing like crazy, horrified moans, dead bodies, dozens of wounded, and the smell of burning clouding his mind.

He felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, sticky warm blood running down his temple and down his clothes, but all he could think was that he wasn't finding Kara.

"Come on, my love, where are you!" he slowly began to jump over the bodies, looking for a sign of her, but he couldn't find her, he only heard cries and painful moans. "Where are you Kara?" he screamed, turning sharply as someone touched his shoulder.

"She's gone! We can't find her, boss!" Taehyung kept looking around, his face and clothes covered in blood and in some places even burnt.

Hoseok gritted his teeth and started looking around again. Who the hell would dare blow up J'adore? And where is Kara, she was with him until the explosion!

"Hoseok!" he turned in the direction of the shout. Yoongi and Jin busily swept away the bodies of the dead ten feet away from him.

His blood froze and he ran towards them. "No no no!" Hoseok dropped to his knees. His arms shakily wrapped around her body and he lifted her head onto his lap.

His eyes roamed over her body, there was glass stuck in her right thigh, her forehead was bleeding, but he could see no other visible injuries.

"Kara, can you hear me?" he bent down, gently wiping the blood from her forehead with his thumb. "Wake up my love please?" he looked desperately at Yoongi and Taehyung.

"Jimin and Jungkook are in critical condition, Namjoon and Seokjin are on their way, as are the fire truck and ambulances" Hoseok nodded to J'adore's head of security.

"Amore?" Hoseok looked down at Kara and sighed in relief. "Lord, thank God!" he squeezed her hard and she moaned in pain but wrapped her arms around his waist. "Are you hurt?" Kara moaned breathlessly and Hoseok showered her face with kisses.

"Nothing serious…" he looked down at her leg. She sat up and examined her wound. Kara tore off a piece of her tank top and carefully, pulled out the piece of glass, quickly dressing the wound to stop the bleeding.

"I don't have an affected artery." she breathed a sigh of relief and began to examine Hoseok's wounds. "Bullet?" Hoseok looked up at her in surprise. "What?" he tried to look at his shoulder, but the wound was too low and he couldn't.

"They tried to kill you!" Kara gritted her teeth and looked at Yoongi who also crouched down to get a closer look. "Shit, they wanted to make sure you didn't get out of the club alive despite the bomb." he narrowed his eyes and looked around for anything suspicious.

Hoseok looked around as well and tried to stand up, but the ground suddenly twisted and he fell to his knees again, struggling to focus and control his breathing.

"Easy Hobi, your head wound looks serious, you might have a concussion." Yoongi nodded to Kara, who nodded and held Hoseok down.

"I'm going to go check on Jimin and Jungkook, ambulances should be here any minute." Taehyung looked at Yoongi for permission and he waved at him.

"Is everyone okay?" Namjoon and Jin ran up to them and Yoongi smiled wryly. "We're alive, if nothing else." he replied and continued to look around but still found no sign of the likely perpetrator.

After a few minutes, the ambulances arrived. So are the firemen and the police. There was no way the assassination could be hidden, but at least they weren't being investigated, and J'adore was perfectly legal. Hoseok and Kara were taken away together in an ambulance at the insistence of Hoseok, who refused to be separated from his fiancée.

Jimin and Jungkook were the worst, with Jungkook still unconscious, struggling to breathe. Jimin had injuries to his head and upper body. They were the closest to the explosion.

The news exploded with reports of millionaire Jung Hoseok and his fiancee being the victims of an assassination attempt. According to the reporters, the reason was competition, but it was still not possible to establish who exactly was the bomber.

On the other side of the law, Min Yoongi and his father, as well as the Kim brothers, were conducting their own investigation while Hoseok was still in the hospital, accompanied by Kara.

"I want to go!" Hoseok demanded grumpily, petting Kara, who rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Do you intend to act like this when our children come along?" she asked and Hoseok grinned.

"Don't you think it would be fun? Me, you, some kids..." he closed his eyes dreamily. "I won't give birth to one if you expect me to take care of you as well as them!" Kara huffed and Hoseok pouted, pulling her onto the bed next to him.

"And if I promise to help?" he started tickling her and she squealed laughing. "Then maybe…" Kara breathlessly moaned and Hoseok kissed her hard.

"Can't you wait until you get home?" they both turned to the door. Jin and the limping Jimin grinned at them, looking at them mockingly.

Hoseok looked at them indifferently, but didn't let Kara stand up, holding her close. "How is Jungkook?" he asked and Jimin shook his head. "They're still keeping him in an induced coma. He'll definitely have a reason to get new tattoos." Jimin sighed, looking guiltily at the floor.

"It's not your fault Jimin, we've all been there." Yoongi patted his shoulder, but Jimin didn't seem particularly reassured.

"What did Namjoon and Seokjin find?" Kara asked, finally managing to break away from Hoseok's arms, who pouted slightly at her, but turned a serious look at Yoongi, waiting for his answer.

"Nothing specific, the families shifted the blame, finding stupid alibis or excuses why it wasn't their fault." Yoongi shrugged and plopped down on the couch across from Hoseok's bed.

"We must find someone to serve as an edification." Hoseok thought about it. "What about the Lee family? Asuma openly trumpeted at the tournament that I wouldn't make it out alive?" Yoongi and Hoseok looked at her thoughtfully.

"Kara might be right." Jimin bit the inside of his cheek in concentration. "Asuma was really openly challenging and threatening, besides, Lee is one of the main suspects according to Namjoon hyung." Yoongi stared at the floor considering what he said, and Kara exchanged a look with Hoseok, waiting for his opinion.

"Maybe it really should be them. I'm still sorry that I didn't manage to kill Ho-Min at the tournament, and apparently he and Asuma had agreed to mainly attack Kara." he squeezed her fingers lightly, giving her an apologetic smile.

Kara looked at him softly. Hoseok still felt guilty that during the fight, she had taken the brunt of the blows and then had to endure all the pain as she walked through the crowd, showing off the power of the crowned mob king and queen.

"Our wedding is in three days and I want Kara to enjoy it in peace. If I have to kill the Lee family to do that, so be it." Kara gave him a gentle smile and Hoseok looked at Yoongi. "Got it, I'm taking it, but I'll also take some of your people." Hoseok nodded and turned to Jimin.

"And you rest and stay close to Jungkook, I don't want any surprises." Hoseok ordered and Jimin nodded. "When are you being discharged?" Yoongi asked and Hoseok looked at Kara. "Tomorrow." she answered shortly and Yoongi nodded standing up.

"Both of you get some rest, I'll see you at the wedding." Yoongi hugged his sister, winked at Hoseok, and he and Jimin left them alone.

"Come here!" Hoseok held out his arms to Kara and she settled next to him, careful of her hip. "I can't wait to get married!" he sighed and buried his face in her neck, inhaling the scent of her hair.

"Me too, mi amore, me too." she laid her head on his shoulder and hugged him around the waist, closing her eyes.
