Spine breaker - BTS

Or

MAD DOG- NCT 127

Or

Boxer - Stray Kids

So many things are happening right now.

It would be easier to just let it out so easily but there's just too much. So to start from the beginning, it started as Jeongguk angrily huffs when he reads Ten's messages as he walks across campus center to his music class; At the same time that Taehyung walks across as well to go to the parking lot since he has to go to work, equally as frustrated with his text with Minho.

They didn't realize that plan that was being shifted behind their backs, and it was too late to do anything about it.

It happened all so sudden when Jeongguk is abruptly whirled around and his face flies to the side by an aggressive fist, forcing spit to glide out of his lips from the unexpected. At that same time Taehyung was also punched back to the ground, obviously not having to expect it so he stumbled within his feet and collapsed on his knees.

His nose now bloody while Jeongguk's corner of his lip bled.

With Yeosang and Hoseok standing there, faces equally pissed off

Jeongguk was in shock to even see both of them here, the ones behind his hit and look as though they wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

The fuck just happened!? Why would they- What?!

This doesn't make sense!

They're friends? What the fuck!

"What the fuck!" Jeongguk exclaims, "The fuck is your problem?"

Yeosang narrows his eyes and steps forward, fists balled down tightly that it nearly stopped the blood circulation on his hand.

"You know what the fuck you did!" Yeosang snarls angrily, making Taehyung drift his eyes to him an Jeongguk, "But to make it on simpler terms, a name will do just fine; Jimin."

All the blood drained from Jeongguk's face, his throat now gone dry as he now remembers peaking through the window when Jimin got picked up that morning by the familiar boy. It seems like the two have gained a trust bond together for Yeosang to behave like this, and he doesn't have to know the full truth to know what happened.

Judging by Jimin's physical form was enough for him to take a hint.

He has every right to be protective, but he doesn't know the full truth.

It was consensual, even if they were intoxicated

At the moment at least.

Jeongguk couldn't say anything to defend himself, and of course Yeosang took that as a confirmation to his doubts to which made his face twist even more with anger and raise his fists up again.

But before it even landed to Jeongguk, Taehyung abruptly shoots up and with his every pulsing anger punches him across the face instead before he could even touch Jeongguk.

All hell broke loose at that moment.

Taehyung and Yeosang were mercilessly swinging their fists while Jeongguk and Hoseok were going at it to one side, creating a large circle of students who are either filming or trying to break them apart before security comes.

Nothing worked.

Especially for Taehyung and Yeosang.

There's so much aggression to the way that they fight that shows how experienced they are, street fighting at least. They know how to manage their own stamina and can't back down now.

They refuse to.

Not until a small figure was squeezing himself through the crowd, more so limping, until he finally reached the line of sight.

The horror flashed like multiple colors on Jimin's face.

Familiar.

Everything about this is familiar.

The way Taehyung and Jeongguk would fight in the past with people closest to Jimin, pushing them away from their lover with hard punches brutally as a sign for them to stay away from him. It was like reliving that moment all over again..... And this time it's with someone Jimin truly counted on.

No.

The past is not going to repeat himself.

Not on his watch.

So dropping his bag and sweater off, Jimin inhaled a deep breath and pushed the numb soreness of his body to charge off into a run.

Jumping into the mess to pull them apart.

He somehow ended up on Taehyung's back, arms clutched tightly around his neck with not a muscle refusing to let go to hold him back.

Taehyung was desperately trying to get the body off his while also trying to fight back Yeosang, but it was too much to do at once.

Jeongguk noticed this while he had Hoseok in a headlock, instantly focusing his eyes on Jimin and instantly grew terrified that he might end up on the wrong side of this fight.

Just like the many times in the past.

So roughly he lets Hoseok go and rushes to Taehyung to get Jimin off him, but with that came a sudden push back by a new person who got themselves involved.

A familiar new person.

Jeongguk raised his fist and was about to unleash his whole frustration to whoever had the audacity to get in his way, but he froze when he sees the familiar cold face before his eyes.

Ten.

He's ..... Here.

And he doesn't look happy at all.

"Lay your hands on Taehyung and I will not hold back on you, pretty boy."

The shiver that ran down Jeongguk's spine was so evident and feverish to Ten's cold tone. He didn't even have time to say anything because these two familiar boys suddenly jumps in and yanks Jimin off Taehyung's body, unleashing him to fully attack Yeosang without any restraints. However Yoongi and Johnny suddenly intervened, holding him back while Namjoon and and Seokjin held back Yeosang. Hoseok is off to the side, glaring at the scene but he stays back unless Yeosang attacks.

Meanwhile Jeongguk and Ten still remains with their eyes heavy on each other, prepared for anything to happen to jump into attack, but that's the thing.

They don't want to hurt each other.

Jeongguk..... Doesn't want to hurt Ten.

Not him.

After the fucked up mess he got himself into, he doesn't want to ruin this anymore than it already is.

So that's how he kept himself restrained and held back, trying to calm himself down like the ways Ten had taught him by taking deep breathes with eyes still focused on his.

"LET ME FUCKING GO!"

Taehyung's scream was what snapped the moment between them, to which Ten's eyes faltered to the ground before turning to look at his best friend; Who's angrily fighting to be let go while Yeosang also does the same.

They both don't seem as though they're calming down anytime soon.

Jimin is off too the side with Taemin and Kai, who's trying to understand the situation that's going on.

Especially Taemin.

But all the answers lies on Jimin's body.

They haven't seen Jimin since Saturday night, so they haven't seen the hickeys on his neck before or the way he winces when he's just standing alone.

And they were not being passive with this.

Kai grabs Jimin by the shoulders, forcing him to look at his desperate face, "Jimin, please don't tell me that night you were gone you....."

He couldn't finish, yet Jimin's guilty and teary eyes spoke for themselves. Kai looks into his eyes with his own horrified expression, looking at the brutal hickeys all over his neck and collarbones, his swollen eyes of the time of crying, the fresh bruises on his arms as though he was beaten up brutally or gripped too hard.

Kai, was absolutely horrified to the sight of his friend like this, and it broke his heart into pieces.

Taemin was blinded. He was blinded by the sight of Jimin's body filled with so many marks by the same people who hurt his soul, made him panic the way he did back at the apartment, and ruined his life. Making him think all these nasty things about himself that isn't true.

No, Taemin was not just mad.

He was livid.

Absolutely livid.

So livid that he was completely blinded by the anger to hold himself back as he marches up to Jeongguk, who was the only one without anyone holding him back, and instantly went off on him.

Kai didn't last long either. He pushed Jimin back to stay out of the line of fight before going up to Taehyung, pushing Yoongi and Johnny back and swings his fist to Taehyung with so much force that actually sent him to the ground.

And once again did everything completely went downhill from there.

It was a mass group of fights now and of pushing people back. Everyone was just fighting now so recklessly with blood everywhere, bruises being made, maybe even cuts from a few rings.

Despite Jimin's complete and utter anxiety with vicious flashbacks in his head, he kept going in, trying to hold back different people but it wasn't helping because he's so weak.

At an attempt to hold back Namjoon from swinging at Kai resulted with Namjoon knocking Jimin back, a direct elbow hit to the nose.

The sudden move forced Jimin back to the ground, an ache on his nose as it starts to bleed and tears to blur his eyes to the blow.

More flashbacks.

More louder.

More clear.

And he can't stop it.

Flashback ~

"JEONGGUK! TAEHYUNG! STOP PLEASE!"

Jimin screams over the shouts as Taehyung and Jeongguk swing their fists at each other, throwing one another against the wall or against the fucking coffee table until it broke with their vicious hands on each other.

It kept growing worse and worse no matter how badly Jimin pleaded, they didn't hear him through their raging fight.

With shakily hands Jimin grabs both of their arms that were ready to swing at each other's bloody face, but that only resulted with them aggressively shoving Jimin back to get away.

The force sent him flying back, the back of his skull colliding against the mirror against the wall, shattering it to pieces.

All Jimin felt at that moment was pain, maybe even paralysis to what just happened, and bears the faint screams of his boyfriends as they see their boyfriend on the ground, bleeding, falling unconscious.

End Flashback~

The past was viciously returning back to Jimin's eyes. Feeling the familiar ache at the back of his skull, smell the thick smell of blood, see his vision being filled with black spots that he couldn't push away.

Anxiety. So much anxiety to the point that he couldn't breathe.

He hugs his body through the shouts, rubbing his ears aggressively to block them out but it wouldn't stop!

And suddenly he screams.

"TAEMIN!"

The lighthouse to his darkness. The first friend he made after his break up who showed him a better path to life, a healthy relationship between people, the angel who cured and stitched his wounds with so much care and patience without ever asking for anything in return.

Taemin..... The only person he trusts to take care of him right now. Even though Kai has always been there for him too, Taemin has been closer to him on an emotional level.

He needs Taemin.

He needs Taemin right now.

The squeaking of his pleading voice was what stopped everyone from moving a muscle. It was what specifically made Taemin stop from colliding his fist to Taehyung's face automatically, slowly turning his attention to the heaving Jimin on the floor.

It was almost a switch for him to see the person he cares so much for on the floor like this, and he couldn't control it the way his anger instantly faded way.

Jimin....

His Gatita.....

Immediately he pushes Taehyung aside and rushes towards Jimin, not wasting time from taking him in his arms and letting the smaller male clutch onto his sweater as though he's afraid he might disappear.

His anchor might disappear.

Jeongguk and Taehyung watches the scene in almost an aggressive confusion to who this guy could be, but they didn't dare more a muscle after seeing how calm Jimin was getting by being in his arms alone.

And without another word, Taemin guides Jimin away while nodding to Kai as well, who annoyedly lets go of Jeongguk with an eye roll and walks away as well.

Not before sending a mean last glare to them as they shove their way through the crowd.

Now it's silent.

Very silent.

The crowd now slowly began to spread away, the bloody and beaten boys also going their own separate ways without another word as well; Yeosang and Hoseok, Yoongi and Johnny leading a still angry Taehyung away.

But Ten stays, his gaze still to the ground wordlessly. Jeongguk's focus is only on him as the world falls quiet and slow, not even paying attention to the way Namjoon and Seokjin tugs his arm to leave as well.

Then slowly Ten flickers his eyes to the ravenette, his own gaze cold and monotone that battles so many hidden feelings inside his own cold heart. Jeongguk's lips parted, wanting to say something but he couldn't. All he could do is look at Taehyung's bruised jaw and messed up hair now, pouring his all in defending his best friend.

Even if that meant going against Jeongguk as well.

That's the thing with Ten, his loyalty. For someone he cares about, he would go through far lengths to stand beside that person. Almost like Yeosang and Hoseok. He would prefer taking the hits first then letting anyone lay a finger to who matters to him.

And that makes him one of the most selfless people Jeongguk has ever encountered with.

And pushed away all at once.

Ten's lips now coils from a thin line and to a scowl, leaving a nasty spit mixed with his blood on the ground from his mouth as a sign to not get closer or perhaps spitting out what they use to have together.

Whatever it was hurt Jeongguk like a harsh slice to his heart, only left watching him as Ten narrows his eyes in an almost territorial way before turning around and following behind his friends.

Knowing well that whatever their standing was has officially vanished, and there's nothing Jeongguk can do to get him back.
