|The Finally|

As discussed, three of Saejun's men met Jungkook by the entranced. The boy underwent examination for any foreign objects that he could use to harm the gang.

Thankfully, the men were dumb enough to not check the back of his ear where the communication device was hidden. Yoongi and Baekhyun would soon follow later once he reached the upcoming floors.

The R&B warehouse was just like any typical abandoned building made up of two floors. It wasn't that bigㅡmaybe same size with one forth of the castle.

Their footsteps echoed through the vacant hallway. The soft clicking of his heels stopped when he came face to face with double doors.

Jungkook couldn't seem to hide the nervousness gnawing at his whole being. Besides from seeing his asshole of a father after a long time, his concern for his lover kept on growing.

Swiftly, he managed to wear the small unnoticiable earpiece successfully.

'Jungkook-ah, can you hear me?' Baekhyun says through the device. Pretending to have a small coughing fit, which seemed to decieve the others, he muttered a quick "yes" after.

The double doors were open leading him to a fairly lit room. The interior was far more disastrous than the whole building itself. It even reeked of alcohol and piss.

Filthy..

"Ah! It's so nice to see you Jungjung!"

There stood his father, bulky and gruff, greeting him with (obviously) fake enthusiasm. Despite the scars and the graying hair, Saejun looked as if nothing changed. That overall panged his heart. No doubt that the man standing in front of him was his father.

No...He stopped being my father ever since he started neglecting and abusing the whole family.

Said man was trying to engulf him into a hug but Jungkook noticed and stepped back. "Please refrain from any physical touches. I'm here for business and not some family gathering," says Jungkook, voice cold and firm.

The (he thinks fake) smile on Saejun's face was soon gone as lips etched into a thin line. "Okay then. Do you have what I want?"

He reaches for the bag of gold coins along with a few gems from his satchel.

Jungkook doesn't hand it over. "Where's Taehyung?"

Saejun takes back his outstretched hand as he turns over to his men. A door to his right opens and there goes Sehun, entering the room with Taehyung who was chained in shackles.

What shocked him more was the male holding the gun at the blonde's head.

"Ch-chanyeol?"

FLASHBACK

There once was a boy no younger than thirteen who had to watch his parents steal from the market so that he and his sick older sister could live.It was harder to earn a job that time especially if you couldn't afford to get proper education in the first place.

He watched as the soldiers caught his mother and father stealing from the pharmacy for his sister's unknown disease. They punished them,deeming that death was the consequences for stealing.

His parents were stoned to death.

As for his sister, they punished her too. It was because of her that his parents were forced to commit such crimes. She was isolated in the dungeon with no food nor water to keep her alive.

She died a week after he last saw her.

Park Chanyeol didn't know what sins he's committed to suffer this much at an early age. But he did know that those with power would always look down at those who did not have.

The richer would get richer as the poor would get poorer.

When he first met Byun Baekhyun, the male who slowly managed to thaw his cold heart, he only joined the forces for his sake.

He wanted to protect the innocent male from the cruel world. What he didn't know was that he'd develope such passion for serving the kingdom.

He still had his grudges against those corrupt rulers, but maybe if he stayed then he could change everyone's perspective.

Saejun visted him not long after, coaxing him into goining their rebellion as he showed the true colors of every ruler Chanyeol was serving for. The younger agreed to being their spy just because of his unrequited love for Baekhyun.

"The world needs people like you," says Saejun.

FLASHBACK END

'Yeollie?' Jungkook hears Baekhyun from the device. The giant looks at him, his eyes cold and dark. This wasn't the Chanyeol he knew.

"Ack!" Taehyung groaned when he was forced to sit on the ground. It broke Jungkook's heart to pieces. The blonde was dirty and ragged. He had cuts and bruises all over his body as dried blood was smeared on the corner of his lips.

Jungkook turns his eyes towards his lover's neck then back to looking at Taehyung who ducked his head in shame. "Is that a fucking hickey?" he growls.

Sehun smiles, saying "I couldn't  resist."

Just as he was about to attack the male, Yoongi spoke into the ear piece.

'Don't do it kid. We've already taken down four men. It wouldn't be long until they relaize our plan. Let's do the ass kicking later.'

The younger sighed in distress. "Fuck. Here's the goddamn money. I made sure to add an extra thousand so you could go anywhere but near me. Now give me back Taehyung and drop your weapons," Jungkook order while giving the bag. Saejun nodded towards his men who dropped the said weapons.

'Commencing the attack in three...Two...'

"Nice doing business with you, son."

'One!'

As Baekhyun finished the countdown, the whole room was filled with smoke, giving Jungkook time to go and grab Taehyung. He heard the  doors open as the rest of his team entered and started attacking.

"Tae!" He called when he saw Sehun dragging him away. "J-jungkook!" the other managed to call out as he saw his lover nearing.

The younger successfully managed to land a punch on the other's stomach and another punch to his face. He got ahold of Taehyung and started running towards the exit.

That plan didn't really work when one of the men attacked him from behind. "Shit," he cursed and pushed Taehyung away in order to block one of the attacker's kicks and to grab his gun.

"Jungkook! Go get Taehyung away from here!" Yoongi ordered which Jungkook nodded at thankfully when the older took care of the men.

'Fuck. The forces are on their way soon. Just don't die Jeon!' yelled Hoseok who was watching through the surveillance cameras.

"I always knew you were a nuisance," Saejun hissed, the throbbing pain in his head worsened as the said male hits his head with the back of the gun. "Fuck you!" Jungkook spat (he actually spat blood)

"Stop or I'll shoot him!" roared Chanyeol. He heard Taehyung gasps and saw where Chanyeol was aiming at. He was aiming for Taehyung's head.

The whole room fell silent. The majority of the gang was defeated leaving only Sehun, Chanyeol and his father.

Sehun wasn't much of a threat because he was already cuffed. Meanwhile, Jimin and the rest were cornering his father as Baekhyun and Jungkook were coaxing Chanyeol to let his lover free.

"Chanyeol, put the gun down."

Chanyeol saw Baekhyun stepping forward bit by bit, looking sullen and crestfallen. His grip on the gun didn't waver although hid heart was hurting more than ever.

"T-this isn't you...You wouldn't," the shorter whispered.

The young king eyed his lover warily, his sweat rolling down the corners of his face. "Go ahead Chanyeol. Shoot him," Saejun taunts, striding closer to Jungkook who hissed.

"P-please Chanyeol," begged Jungkook who was slowly lowering his gun. He watched as Baekhyun approached little by little, his hand slightly shaking from the nervousness.

"Get back!"

"No. This isn't you Chanyeol. Heㅡhe's brainwashed you. Your p-past is all behind you. Please don't do this. Please Yeollie," Chanyeol snapped as he heard his nickname.

It all happened too fast.

Jungkook could only remember hearing the giant shoot in the distance then seeing his father's body on the floor with a bullet wound to his heart. Chanyeol had passed out due to stress and Taehyung...

Taehyung...

And Jungkook's heart dropped the same time Taehyung fell to the ground, the bullet wound in his shoulder now noticed.

Taehyung!
