CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

A/N: I just want to mention that eventually I will fix all the spacing issues and do a final sweep to ensure that everything is okay. But for now, after I fix the whole chapters fiasco, I'm just gonna be so tired...

Get your shit together wattpad.

Ugh.

Jeonguk's POV

I'm terrified, and I'm trying my best no to show it. All my brothers know that I'm the strongest, and their counting on me. 

I also feel like an ass.

I hadn't believed Chloe, and I'd said some pretty awful things about her.

But she'd been telling the truth, if the guns pointed at us are any indication.

They've spilled into the room like roaches, nasty, vile things willing to main, to kill, for such a wretched man.

Are you sure you want to pull that trigger?" Yoongi asks, and I realize that hyung is baiting the man, calm and as level headed as always, this guy. "You don't seem like the kind of guy who has the balls to do it yourself."

"You clearly don't know me very well, " Jacob snarls. "I've killed more than a handful of men and women, and they committed less crimes against me than this man has."

He laughs then, a maniacal, hollow-sounding laugh. The kind that just screams, "hey, I'm a crazy asshat".

"That woman that he's dared to defile belongs to me. I've killed so many just to have her, when she should have been mine all along. Anyone who has stood in my way, they've all died. Lara, Benjamin, even my own would be in-laws." He laughs maliciously. "I've already paid her aunt a hefty sum for Chloe's hand in marriage. And someday, when I've bent and broken her to my will, I'll kill her too."

Everything, nearly breaks down before us as Chloe becomes lost momentarily to her own despair. This man, this Jacob, had killed her parents, and it seems that she hadn't priorly been aware of it.

My heart aches for her, in a way that surprises me. Seeing her sitting there, trembling next to my hyung, who's eyes are hard, and sharp, twists my gut uncomfortably. I think I have to admit that she's good as family now.

My thoughts turn to Alice, sitting at home, our home, waiting for me to come back, to call. She's probably worried sick by now, but I hadn't wanted her to worry. If she knew what I was up to, I know that she would.

Even so, I can't shake the feeling that she's probably scared, and worried regardless.

I can't wait to go home.

And as soon as I think that, my mind summons the image of Alice, with a smile on her face, arms opened wide. 

Then all hell breaks loose.

"Besides, " Yoongi adds triumphantly. "I think we've heard everything we needed to."

The door behind which Yoongi's coworkers have been hiding this entire time bursts open suddenly, and a handful of cops come bursting out with guns drawn and trained on Jacob.

"Mr.Miller, you are under arrest." A small horde of Yoongi-hyung's coworkers flood into the room, guns trained and ready for resistance. "Now put down the gun and come quietly, or we will shoot."

Jacob roars in frustration before training his evil gaze, and the barrel of his gun, upon my eldest hyung, and panic sets in. 

"I'm not going anywhere until this pissant is dead!" Jacob shouts hysterically.

What follows is like something straight out of a nightmare.

Chloe takes a bullet for Tae, which then sets his heart off, and before we I can react, he too is slipping away. He concludes shortly on the ground before passing out, and my heart aches to see my hyung so vulnerable.

It pisses me off too.

Yoongi's buddies open fire, and Jacob falls lifelessly to the ground.

But this is far from over.

All around us, Jacob's henchmen refuse to hack down. They open fire all around, and though outnumbered, Yoongi's team is too fierce, too experienced to fail.

They cut through the goons' ranks as easily as if they'd done this a million times.

I notice that several men have detached, and are making eyes at Taehyunh's position. I narrow my eyes in determination.

Springing to action, I take one of the five men by surprise. A sufficient kick to the back of his leg, and he collapses, at which point, I grab his head and smash it against the ground.

The next batch isn't so easy. 

They take me on all at once, and though I may be strong, I've never particularly been a first fighter either. I take a few blows to the face, and sternum, enough to fret about the fact that they will bruise.

Alice will be even more deeply worried if I come home all banged up, but it looks as if I'm not going to have much of a choice.

I'm still pissed off.

I dispatch three of the four left, and not without effort. By the time I am done, I am winded and my muscles ache terribly. But it looks like the ambulance is going to arrive soon, I can hear one of my brother's yelling about it right now. 

"Everything's gonna be fine, " I tell myself, though I can't tell whether or not I truly believe that. 

Jimin-hyung is actually the one who comes to my rescue, and at the very last moment, he fells the last man standing. 

And then, for a moment, the room is awash in still, and utter silence.

The sound of the ambulance's sirens, and the telltale glow of red and white, let's us know that help will soon arrive. Jimin and I both sigh in relief as the medical team arrives, pushing through the door with determination and purpose.

We argue, briefly amongst ourselves, as to who should ride to the E.R with Tae and Chloe. Of course, there's no way that all six of us could fit, but nearly everyone but Jin is chomping at the bit to go.

"I can't go, " Jin reveals, "if I do, who's gonna drive the rest of you to the hospital?"

But we can't argue long, and ultimately, it's Yoongi-hyung who's offer to go is legitimized.

As if it could have ended any other way.

"Kook, you alright?" Jin asks, a sudden hand on my shoulder, and voice in my ear. 

I shake my head. There's no point in lying to my brother.

"I'm worried about Tae, and I feel like an ass for the way I treated Chloe. I miss Alice too."

My admission comes as no surprise to either of us, but there does pass over Jin's face a look that says 'ahh, I finally understand'.

"I feel like an ass too, " he admits, eyes deep and emotive. "I was afraid that if you and Alice didn't work out, that you'd be hurt. And if you did, I'd lose you. I should have been happy for you, and supportive. But I wasn't. I'm sorry."

"It isn't me you need to apologize to hyung, " I tease, "of course I've already forgiven you. I'm a man after all."

Jin chuckles lightly, and I let it pass, smiling despite the way it hurts my split lip.

"I love you hyung, " I confess, and he smiles fondly, eyes misty as he replies.

"I love you too Guk."
