×××××
"Bless my existence. I finally got to meet you,"
Jeongguk's gaze meet with an unfamiliar man whose gun was pointing toward him.
He gulped the lump in his throat.
"Scared?" The man chuckled deeply, and put back his gun in waistband. "Don't worry, it's not for you. At least for now,"
Crouching down infront of Jeongguk who was looking up at him curiously, he smirked at the younger.
"Who are you?"
The man gasped dramatically, "you don't know me? you didn't even stutter? Oh god, I can see Kim Taehyung's impact on you,"
Jeongguk knitted his brows together.
"And what the hell are you doing here?" He gritted out, but suddenly got pulled by his collar which cause the phone to slipped out from his grasp.
"Watch your tone babe," The man exclaimed loudly and yanked off his hand from the younger.
"Your boyfriend already did something that he gonna regret soon. So, behave like a good boy that you are," a wink sent to the younger by the man.
Taehyung never told him about his enemies but Jeongguk can assume that man was one of them.
"You think i will get scared of you 'cause you messed up my house and abducted my Nanna," Jeongguk exclaimed loudly, steps away from the man as he stood up on his feet.
"Oh my my, i can see where did you got this feistiness," Taemin stood up as well and steps forward to the younger.
Jeongguk clenched his fists.
"Leave her, she has nothing to do with mine and Taehyung's acts." He said, softly. Because he knew a wrong move could led them to a worst consequence.
"Not before i complete my mission," Taemin smirked, "I'm already loving the feisty side of yours, wonder why Kim choose you,"
"Don't touch me!" Jeongguk slapped away Taemin's hand when he about to touch his chin.
Taemin chuckles, shaking his head.
"I guess, you don't want to see your granny,"
"I said leave her! she has nothing-"
"So you're choosing to save that stupid old hag but not Taehyung. Aw, poor Taehyung-ah, i can't imagine how sad Taehyung will be when he would got to know the cause of his death is his own fiance," Taemin blunted, with an evil laugh.
Jeongguk sniffed, and give a confused to Taemin.
"What do you mean?"
Taemin smirked and steps closer to the younger. The smirk dropped, his expression hardened.
"Break off the engagement with Kim Taehyung," Taemin said, coldly.
Jeongguk's eyes widened.
"What? No, I w-won't do that,"
Taemin sighed dramatically, "This least you can do for me, and if you want to save both of their lives. You want to save their lives or do you want to become the cause of their death?"
Terror drawn on Jeongguk's face. But he didn't want to look weak infront this man.
Weakness is death
Taehyung's words crossed his mind. He clenched his fists and glared at the man.
"I won't do that, I'm not afraid of your threats,"
Scanning Jeongguk's face expression, Taemin's smirk widened.
Jeongguk was about to speak again but his phone start buzzing which cause him to pause.
"Pick up the phone!" Taemin whispers which caused Jeongguk to flinched at the tone.
Jeongguk looked down at his phone and crouched down to pick it up, and pressed it against his ear after swiping right to received the call.
"H-hello?" He stutters, as he felt an uneasy twist in his stomach.
"Jeongguk, it's me Hoseok, where are you? Taehyung had an accident and now he's admitted to a hospital..."
Jeongguk's world shattered into pieces when he heard that. His voice caught in his throat, he couldn't utter a word nor he could do anything. He froze on his spot. He gaze over towards the man through his blurry vision.
Taemin had a fake pout, while his head was tilted and was looking towards Jeongguk innocently.
Taemin tsked and mouthed 'speak up' to Jeongguk.
"Jeongguk? Are you there? I'm sending you the location, Jeongguk?"
Taemin rolled his eyes and snatched the phone from Jeongguk's grasp and cut the call.
"See, what you did!" Taemin exclaimed dramatically. "Poor Taehyungie is in hospital now, because of you, tsk," Taemin grins.
"You should thank my man because he 'accidentally' missed the bullet which was supposed to be in Taehyung's head,"
Tears again start building onto those doe eyes, a sob escaped from his lip. He is so weak, so weak that he couldn't do anything alone.
"Please d-don't do this t-to us,"
"Aw," Taemin blinked his eyes and puffed out his bottom lip. "Your boyfriend should've thought about that before starting all of these."
Taemin smiled at the younger who was sobbing uncontrollably on the floor. He look so vulnerable and Taemin likes it.
"Actually we both were in good terms until he decided to break it off. Do you know why am i doing this?" Taemin's features clouded by sadness and anger.
"Because he fucking killed my brother whom i loved more than anything on this earth,"
Jeongguk wiped off the tears aggressively and stood up after collecting all the courage to walk towards the door.
"Ah! Who give you the permission that you can leave from here?" Taemin scowled and gripped on Jeongguk's arm to stop him on track.
"You can't meet him," Taemin barked, glaringly. "You didn't see the consequence of saying no to me, huh!?"
"P-Please leave me. I want to see him, please let me go to him,"
Taemin gasped dramatically. "So you want that missed bullet in that old hag's head?"
Jeongguk's cries came an abrupt stop.
"Oh, Jeongguk, you demand too much. I was thinking of not hurting that old hag but if you–"
"No, no no, please don't do anything to her. Please I beg you, hurt me instead of them," Jeongguk pleaded miserably.
"Then do as I'm saying,"
++++++
Taehyung's eyes fluttered open, his brown almond scanned the colourless room. Like everything was white around him, white curtains, white bedcovers, white wall and white ceiling.
He hissed due to the pounding headache and reached to massaged it with his hand. The room was awfully quiet and unfamiliar. He sat up on the single bed and looked down.
"Fuck!" He cursed when his eyes fall on those different colour wires which was attached with a operating machine. He cursed loudly when he remember how his car crashed into the tree when someone shot him on his shoulder.
Jeongguk.
The first name which crossed his mind. He quickly looked around for his phone but didn't find it near him.
"Namjoon!" He called out and about to take off those wires from him wrist when someone bursted into the cabin.
"Tae,"
Gazing up his eyes meet Yoongi who was looking devastated and he never saw Yoongi in that state.
"Hyung who did this?" He asked refering to the car 'accident'.
"Stop doing that! You still need some rest," Yoongi said, softly and walked over Taehyung.
"Hyung, shut up. We aren't new to this–"
"Stop it Tae! You were so close to die or lose your fucking memory." Yoongi snapped, his fists were clenching in anger.
Taehyung ended his movement and sat on the bed while glancing towards yoongi. His gaze shifts back towards the doorway when Namjoon entered into the room.
"It's been two fucking days since you have been laying on this bed," Yoongi continued. "We were worried about you when you didn't received Namjoon's calls. After few minutes Hoseok, h-he found your location to look for you but–"
"I'm fine now, Yoongi." Taehyung sighed, raking through his black locks.
"Who's behind this?"
"Taemin and Jeongguk,"
Taehyung shot up a confused look towards Yoongi while furrowing his brows.
"Shut up Yoongi!" Namjoon interrupted, glaring towards Yoongi.
"Are you out of your mind or something?" Taehyung snapped.
Yoongi scoffed, "I'm damn sure he's working with Taemin who did this mess. We tried to inform him about your accident but he never respond to our calls or texts. He didn't come to meet you,"
Taehyung didn't know how to respond to that because that was unexpected from Jeongguk.
"What's he doing then?" Taehyung asked, looking away from Yoongi's gaze.
"Living his normal life like nothing happened to his fiance. I can tell he doesn't care about you." Yoongi stated as he himself was also shocked by the younger's strange behaviour.
"He's coming office like a normal employee, he didn't even try to contact us or you!"
"I don't want to make him worry about me,"
"Keep saying that to yourself. I hope it will cure your wounds. If something happen with my fiance, at least I would come to meet him or at least would be by his side whenever he need me!"
Taehyung grind his teeth, his jaw clenched.
"Stop talking shit about him! I think he has his reasons for not visiting me,"
Yoongi looked away from Taehyung, his eyes were glossy.
"I don't want you get hurt Taehyung," He whispers and left the room.
Namjoon averted his gaze towards Taehyung. "Don't mind him, he's just upset and angry on the fact that Jeongguk didn't come to see you,"
"Who did this?"
"One of Taemin's men, he sent them to kill you and make it look like an accident,"
Taehyung smirked. "He never learn,"
"What about Jeongguk? How is he doing?" He asked, his rough voice turned into soft.
"We didn't heard anything from him since that day." Namjoon mutters.
"What's wrong?" Taehyung asked after observing Namjoon's sudden change of tone.
"Jeongguk, he-he's behaving unlike him." Namjoon confessed, looking down and hands crossed behind him.
"I even tried to talk to him but he ignored me."
Taehyung got confused and suspicious at the same time.
"Where's Jeongguk?"
