1 week later

It's late. Probably near 12:00 and I'm finally done with my shift.

Jins out tonight and judging by the note stuck to the fridge so is Jungkook. He's gone for a walk. You know, despite my worry about him being out there alone I'm glad he's taken the chance to get some fresh air. Until tonight he hasn't left the house all week.

I remove my bag and place it on the table. And then I freeze, the sound of footsteps catching my attention.

Slowly, I bring my self to look up ahead until I see the figure standing near the hallway entrance.

"I was hoping it was you walking through that door." The woman says before cocking the handle of her gun.

"Dr Lee..." i almost throw up when saying that name.

"Shame the walls in here are white." She fake pouts before aiming her weapon at me. I dive onto the floor just as she shoots, the bullet hitting the kitchen sink and causing water to burst from the Fossett.

I hear her reload a bullet and I hurry to run to the opposite side of the kitchen in search for a weapon, but she's quick to fire again so I dive behind the table. Her bullet has now smashed a window, the broken pieces of glass falling near my hands as I crawl across the floor.

"Two bullets left Y/n don't let them go to waaaaste." She sings before reloading.

Quickly I run out from my hiding place and into the hallway. I'm almost near the stairs when a bullet hits the banister and sends me to run the opposite way.

"He was always mine Y/n." I hear her call. I continue to keep my back pressed against the wall, my chest heaving up and down. "You should have never taken him from me dear. It cost you your job, and now your life."

Just as I hear her footsteps nearing, the sweet sound of sirens in the distance brings me to sigh in relief.

1 hour later

"So you don't know who the intruder was?" The officer questions me, and I shake my head before sipping on my glass of water. I then make eye contact with Jin, and he nods at me. We both know if I was to tell the officer it was Dr Lee who broke in, the questions would then lead to Jungkook and it's still important that he's kept in the dark right now.

"And is there anyone you'd like us to call—."

"No." I say before flashing a fake but reassuring smile. Honestly I just want all these men to leave before Jungkook comes back.

"Okay well we'll do all we can to find the intruder but for now I suggest taking severe precautions. Maybe getting cameras and more secure locks fitted."

"Will do. Thankyou officer."

After doing a search through the house the cops leave, and it's just Jin and I here cleaning up the mess that's been caused. Luckily Jin was able to call someone to fix the damage quickly, but that doesn't change the fact that our location has been exposed.

Dr Lee knows we're here. She'll come back.

"I know what you're thinking Y/n. And the answer is no."

"Jin we have to leave. We aren't safe here, in fact you aren't safe here—."

"You heard the officer. There are ways we can take precautions. I'll have the doors replaced to steel ones, I'll have the windows swapped with bullet proof glass and a new alarm fixed."

"Jin you shouldn't have to bullet proof your house. This is a home, not a place to hide fugitives—."

"You're not fugitives Y/n. You and Jungkook are my friends."

The male pauses from sweeping up glass.

"That night at the prison. When you were lay unconscious, almost close to death...I should have stopped it from getting that far. Letting you and Jungkook stay here is my way of saying sorry. So please, don't flee."

As I go to speak my eyes flick towards the figure hurrying into the kitchen. Jungkook.

"Thank you god." He breathes before pulling me into his embrace. His breath shuddering as he strokes my hair. "She didn't hurt you."

I hug him back but tighter. It feels so good being in his arms right now. It feels safe.

"I'm never leaving this house without you again. Next time something like this happens, I'll put a bullet through her foot."

"Her foot? Why not her skull?" I ask confused.

He plants a kiss on my forehead and I can feel his lips curve to a smile. "A quick death? Where's the fun in that?"

3:00pm

It's been so long since I've had a decent nights sleep. In fact I can't actually remember a time I went to sleep and woke up the next day.

I turn to my side. Jungkook drifted off over two hours ago. I could tell from the way his arms loosened around my body.

I miss sleep so much. There are days where I barely feel like I'm existing, I find it difficult to separate dreams from reality, almost like I'm just sat still whilst life passes by me quickly.

I readjust my position and turn to hug Jungkook from behind. My eyes are still open and glued to the bedroom door, the thought of her bursting through keeping me awake. The way she aimed that gun at me without a second thought was truly terrifying. She actually wants me dead. At least Yerim kept her threats verbal.

Moving closer I nuzzle against Jungkooks bare back, inhaling a breath and smelling his naturally sweet scent. It's like baby cotton almost, so calming that I actually feel my eyes fall heavy.
"Thankyou for staying with me." I mutter softly, and my eyes become heavier until I can no longer fight the urge of blissful sleep.

Next Morning

Jin PoV

"So we've heard back from the court about Jungkooks date. They need a statement made by both you and Y/n about his mistreatment before anything progresses." Namjoon huffs before flipping to a new page of his work diary. "Also we need to come up with a story on how you recently found Jungkook. I suggest we say Y/n stumbled upon him in an underground subway or something, say that he was disguised as a homeless man. In fact I need to talk to the girl so where is she?"

"She's upstai—."

"She's asleep."

I turn to the door, surprised to see Jungkook standing with his arms crossed.

"You'll talk to her when she wakes up naturally."

Sighing Namjoon begins writing down something on his notepad. "Well, can't say it's a pleasure to be in your presence young man. But it is nice to finally meet my client."

With a smug face Jungkook simply replies with. "Ditto."

I turn back to Namjoon. "So what date has the court given us for Jungkooks case?"

"They said between the 12th and 18th of April, but they'll contact us with a more specific date when they can."

"Right so that gives us around a month?"

He nods.

"Y/n will be pleased. I think we all just want this to be over with so we can determine Jungkooks freedom."

"And what if it doesn't?"

Both Namjoon and I stop to look at Jungkook, his eyes already locked onto mine.

"What if they don't give us the win? What will happen to me then? To Y/n?"

"Let's not worry about that n—."

I wanted to finish my sentence but Namjoon cuts me off with the harsh truth, himself not having the same care for Jungkooks feelings.

"You'll be back in prison with a longer sentence no doubt. And Y/n will be at risk of being sectioned due to her belief in supporting a psychotic criminal's doings."

Furrowing his brows Jungkook un folds his arms before stepping further into the office. "Wait sectioned? As in she'd be placed in a mental hospital?"

"Pretty much."

"..B-but that's bullshit! Y/n's my psychiatrist. She's intelligent and too sane for a fucked up place like that."

With a simple shrug, Namjoon stacks his files straight on the desk. "They might see her differently."

Both Jungkook and I watch the man pack away his things before heading for the door, his body stopping before Jungkooks to meet him eye to eye. "Young man listen to me. I don't have to know you, or even like you to be your lawyer. I've chosen to represent you for three reasons. One, because I owe my friend Jin here a favour. Two, because it's my job. And three, because I trust your friend Y/n. And if she believes you're innocent, then so do I, and I'll do my absolute best to make sure you come out the other side of this. I swear to you." Reaching a hand out the male offers it to Jungkook.

He shows signs of hesitation at first before accepting the handshake. I'm actually quite surprised he did it to be fair.

"Now don't stress. Things are already going our way."

"How so?"

Smirking, Namjoon fixes his work tie. "The forensic team that searched this house last night found a piece of female hair that tested different to Y/n's."

"You mean Dr Lees?"

With a confident grin and a smug brow raise, Namjoon pats Jungkooks shoulder. "Prepare yourself gentlemen. We've got a case to win."

"WOOO!" I stand up from my chair, smile bright until the two look at me with judgement.

Jungkook PoV

I hurry upstairs to tell Y/n the great news. Finally we have something positive to focus our attention on!!

As I reach the top of the stairs I slow down in my steps, the trail of blood across the floor making my heart stop. It's leading to the bathroom. I go in, bursting the door open only to find the horrific scene of Y/n sat on the floor, her wrists cut and seeping blood.

"I-I'm sorry." She whimpers.

My mouth is unable to produce words. Collapsing onto my knees I pull her close, her body so limp as I take her in my arms. "J-JIN!" I yell at the top of my lungs.

Her body is shivering.

"I'm sorry Kooks." She apologises again. "I'm really sorry—."

"You can't leave me Y/n." I shake my head. "You can't be so selfish!"

"Dear god!" Jin lands beside me. "Y/n how long ago did you do this??" He places his fingers on her neck probably to check her pulse. Her lack of response worries me even more.

"S-she's losing blood Jin." I cry.

"Okay Jungkook. I need you to go downstairs to my office and grab me my kit. There's a lot of it so you might have to make two trips."

I shake my head. "I don't wanna leave her."

"You won't be. You'll be saving her."

I hesitate for a minute until Jin snaps at me to hurry. He takes Y/n from me and attempts to apply pressure to her wrists, the white towel now soaked in her blood.

"Please save her Jin." I say and he turns to look at me.

"I love her."
