"Stop! Where is Tyne!"

"What do you mean-" Yoongi turned back to see only Taehyung and Jungkook.

"I...think they caught him," Taehyung stuttered in fear, "I need to go back-"

"Are you crazy? They will kill you on spot!"

"I don't fucking care! I want my Tyne back." Taehyung growled.

"We can't go back. If you are then I am sorry. I can't accompany you. This is the least I can do to feed my guilt." Yoongi put forth.

Taehyung looked over to Jungkook who was terrified as fuck. He held the boy's cheeks within his palms, " You had promised to be bold till the end. Do you still adhere to your words, Eglan?" Tae asked as he locked eyes with the Jungkook.

Jungkook nodded his head unsure of what was happening, "Please, bring Jimin back."

"I will!" Tae pressed a small kiss over the boy's forehead and gripped Jungkook's hand and slowly handed it to Yoongi, "Take care of him until I return. I promise to repay you somehow."

With that Taehyung rushed back into the building. Jungkook's senses then returned to earth and he tried to fight back and screamed his lungs out to run behind Taehyung but it was all in vain.

Yoongi held Jungkook close and forcefully turned him around, "Stop! You going in there isn't going to help anyone."

Jungkook wobbled his lips and threw fists over Yoongi's chest, "Let...me go! They are in danger. I...they need help," he spoke between his sobs.

"If you truly want to help them. Learn to fight back first!" Yoongi held the Jungkook's shoulders and shrugged him to bring him to reality.

"Any decision taken in a rush always leads to disaster. They are trying their best to protect you and you have to keep up with their expectations. The least they expect you to do is fucking respect that!" Yoongi raised his tone with his eyes tearing up.

"I need them..." Jungkook bit his lip to hold himself back from breaking down.

"Follow me!" Yoongi firmly stated as he wiped Jungkook's cheeks and pulled him towards the road.

Jungkook looked back at the building one last and then at the endless road before them with heavy rain pouring to top it all.

All for a small crab meal?

Why were we cursed with a fate like this?

Why were we the only ones left to suffer like this?

Why are we the only one's to be punished with blood for a day's meal?

Why the fuck are we the only ones to be tortured this way?

Jungkook chuckled dryly and let Yoongi drag him across the road.

Luxury is a smoke ring.

You need to rot yourself from within to blow out the most perfect ring only to let it disappear within seconds just before your eyes.

Life is a smoke ring.

It is filled with illusions of a better future. It's filled with endless hopes to survive till the end. It's filled with empty promises to give you a life full of colours.

Why was the payback so heavy for a mere smoke ring?

Was the smoke ring that lasted for a mere second worth all these struggles?

"Why? Just why? Why only us!" Jungkook ripped his hand out of Yoongi's hands and cried loudly.

Yoongi turned back to look at Jungkook who was trying to grab his breathing but it kept worsening as time passed.

He placed his finger under Jungkook's chin and raised it to meet his eyes, "In a world where you and I come from, there is neither hope nor law. We need to step over others or we get crumbled. It's the survival of the fittest."

"Then why did you help us?" Jungkook wiped his tears with the back of his hands.

"It's because your Jimin changed the definition for me."

"Huh?"

Yoongi breathed heavily and sunk his hands in his pockets, "They are going to catch us eventually. What is it that you want to do before that?"

"How are you so sure-"

"Because the boss is powerful. We can't escape from his clutches. It's impossible. So, what is that you want to do before that?" Yoongi asked again.

A visible frown was plastered over Jungkook's face as he thought about the possibilities. He slowly stretched his hand to clutch Yoongi's sleeve.

"Make me the big boss then!" Jungkook slowly shifted his gaze from his feet to Yoongi's eyes.

Yoongi fought back a mocking laugh the moment he met Jungkook's burning gaze.

He hadn't seen such a strong aura emit out of Jungkook's body.

"You are begging for your death!"

"He couldn't have been the boss unless you and viper helped him. He was also a zero before he gathered people around him. And I strongly believe you wouldn't want to work with him ever again after today's incident." Jungkook stepped closer to face Yoongi head-on.

"Turn this Eglan into the big boss, Major."

"Tyne!" Taehyung called and rushed through the door to see guards cuff Jimin and others helping Viper with his wound.

The alarms were shut down and the sprinklers were stopped too.

Jimin's skin turned pale the moment he heard Taehyung's voice. He immediately turned around to see Taehyung being knocked down to the floor with his hands locked behind his back.

Jimin fought back and tried to free himself from the guards.

Viper signalled them to let go knowing too well Jimin is going to be his loyal dog from the following day.

As soon as the guards let Jimin free, he rushed towards Taehyung who was growling his lungs to let go.

Jimin crashed down over the floor before Taehyung, "Why are you here?" He spoke barely audible above a whisper.

"How could I leave you behind?" Taehyung's voice softened as he watched Jimin's eyes turn moist.

"Why are you so foolish, Jebb?" Jimin cupped his cheeks and press their foreheads together.

"I will distract them...just run-"

"Jebb!" Jimin cut him mid-sentence and exhaled sharply before meeting his eyes with Taehyung, "I can't let you be the last person to jump out of the fence. Let it be me," his lips stretched to flash a weak smile.

"What are you talking about-"

"Go! I want you to go and find me back when the time is right."

"Don't leave please," Taehyung practically begged.

"Do I have a choice?" Jimin rubbed the male's cheek one last time.

"Let me be that choice."

"Then we will both die, Jebb." Jimin said.

"I can't...live without you. I need you," Tae's lips quivered with tears building up in his eyes.

Jimin carefully observed the wrinkles over Taehyung's forehead with his eyes tearing up. A tear slipped past his cheeks with his lips trembling with fear.

He was crying.

He was scared.

He was showing his emotions.

Taehyung was showing his emotions!

Jimin chuckled dryly, "God truly doesn't like me I guess. I can't stay back to even rejoice in my lover's recovery. What wrong had we done in the past life, Jebb?" Jimin broke into sobs and cried louder as the time passed holding onto Taehyung.

Jimin was ripped away and dragged out of the room leaving behind a whimpering Taehyung who had curled up into a ball to hold himself back from crying.
