NOVEMBER 28TH

Taehyung view

Currently, jeongguk had dragged Taehyung to the shopping mall. Of course Taehyung was only accomponying him as his assistant, nothing else. Jeongguk actually came because he needed to buy more suits for himself.

But Taehyung was so happy he was at a shopping mall as he hadnt been to one in forever. He was in the middle of ogling at all the new sweet stalls until jeongguk roughly pulled him away. Taehyung pouted, sad he wasnt shopping for himself but instead just holding all of jeongguks bags.

Jeongguk literally was treating Taehyung as his slave. The poor boy was struggling to hold all of jeongguks (very expensive) shopping bags; he was holding three in one hand and four in the other which made him huff out in exhaustion. Jeongguk just rolled his eyes as he looked at the boy.

"you should by something for yourself." jeongguk simply stated however Taehyung was about to lose his mind. He gasped out loud, staring at jeongguk.

"you'll let me?!" he exclaimed.

Jeongguk nodded. "what do you want. Choose anything." he said cooly.

Taehyung looked around, lips pressed together in thought. His eyes landed on a jellybean store opposite him and he felt his heart flutter with excitement and need. "that!" he declared with joy.

Jeongguk followed the direction of his finger and frowned when the boy wanted jellybeans. Out of everything. The man had a black card for goodness sake.

"you want jellybeans?" Jeongguk looked at taehyung weirdly.

"yes please Jeongguk!" the boy yelled again, acting like a child.

Jeongguk stared at him with an unreadable look in his eyes before he just nodded his head and took the boy to the store. Taehyung was smiling so widely at all the different assortments but he was staring at the mixed tub with eager eyes.

Jeongguk noticed and tried to stop himself from smiling in admiration. The boy was just too cute.

He then picked up the tub and taehyung watched him in shock as he got ready to pay for it. He stood next to Jeongguk in the line, fiddling with his fingers.

"t-thank you Jeongguk." taehyung mumbled, shyly smiling at the older.

Jeongguk just hummed in reply and then they both decided to leave as there was nothing else to buy. Jeongguk had parked his car on the top floor of the multistorey car park and it was very dark and deserted which kind of gave taehyung the creeps yet there was a little light peeking through the gaps.

Jeongguk too was helping taehyung with a bag until they both halted on hearing a loud gunshot.

The bullet had ended up on a pillar they were both standing next to.

Taehyung looked at Jeongguk, eyes wide and full with fear. Jeongguk just remained calm, walking over to the edge of the car lot, his eyes searched the area as he tried to find anyone suspicious and he looked up, noticing a figure clad in black with a sniper gun on a rooftop.

He made eye contact with the person and immediately rushed to cover taehyung when they were about to shoot again. Taehyung screamed, trying to hide himself and Jeongguk made him stop moving.

He quickly sat taehyung in the car and got in himself, hurriedly driving away from the aim.

Through his panic taehyung looked at Jeongguk again. "whats wrong now?" he whined, hating these situations he was always put in to.

"hold on to your seatbelt and when i order you to do something  do it." Jeongguk looked and sounded angry.

Taehyung just nodded and then Jeongguk was speeding onto the street.

"fuck." Jeongguk muttered when a bullet was shot through his window. Taehyung was again, on the verge of crying.

Jeongguk accelerated even more but unfortunately the figure on the rooftop could aim at him from all angles. He fired again and it dented the car door.

The older tried to think of a way to hurriedly get out of the road but too many cars were congesting the area. He made a quick u-turn, speeding towards an empty area where no other cars or people were. It was an empty car park, still viewable for the person with the gun however.

"taehyung we have to get out now." Jeongguk ordered but he kept the engine on. Another shot was aimed at the car.

"but-" taehyung rushed to say but Jeongguk cut him off.

"we dont have a fucking choice, get out from my side." Jeongguk opened his door and got out, ducking down as he helped taehyung too.

"we have to get to that wall. The sniper wont reach us there." Jeongguk examined his surroundings.

He began running in his somewhat crouched position and taehyung followed suit. He wondered how Jeongguk always stayed calm at times like this.

Then they were in plain sight and the attacker fired again. Jeongguk lead taehyung to hide behind a tree.

"stay here and dont make yourself visible." Jeongguk sternly ordered taehyung who nodded his head quickly, unleaked tears in his eyes.

Jeongguk nodded at him and then pulled out his gun, aiming it at the attacker as he got out from the tree and ran to another one a few metres away.

Taehyung covered his ears, hating the loud gunshots.

He watched as Jeongguk ran to another tree as he and the person continued to fire at eachother. He didnt like being alone, he thought it was safer with Jeongguk. So despite the said male telling him not to he began running to where Jeongguk previously was, dodging the bullet by a few centimeters.

Jeongguk looked at him in slight anger and worry, wondering what the hell he was doing. Taehyung ignored him, gathering his braveness and quickly tried running to Jeongguk.

The gun fired again, too close to taehyungs leg causing the boy to get startled and fall on the ground - so close to Jeongguk who was now firing angrily at the attacker. He winced, tears now falling as he crawled to Jeongguk as best as he could.

Jeongguk held out his hand and reached for taehyungs arm as he pulled the boy close to him. Taehyung latched onto his arm in exhaustion and fear and Jeongguk was holding him up. "what the fuck were you thinking?" Jeongguk muttered angrily but still raked his eyes over taehyung in worry.

They were both securely hiding behind the tree. Jeongguk held taehyungs hand and now both males were running to the wall, continuous gun shots heard from both Jeongguks gun and the sniper.

They sighed out in relief once they were out of the persons sight. Taehyung slumped against the wall, trying to even his breathing. Jeongguk looked up cautiously, watching the attacker pack away his gun and leave the rooftop. He too, sat against the wall and watched taehyung in concern.

"j-jeongguk, i-i cant b-breathe." taehyung was looking at the ground with wide eyes, scared his airways felt like they were closing. He was gasping loudly, enough to let some of jeongguks walls break down as he worried for the younger.

He kneeled in front of taehyung, carefully holding his face in his hands as he got the boy to look at him.

"look at me taehyung." jeongguk told him. Taehyung lifted his worried gaze to jeongguk. "slowy breathe in, no more gasping."

Taehyung took a deep breath, doing what jeongguk said.

"thats it, breathe out slowly." jeongguk wiped away taehyungs tears. The boy was holding jeongguks forearms tightly, not wanting to let go. "you're doing well taehyung." the older stated. He felt taehyung calm down.

"slowly breathe in and out now." jeongguk whispered, face close to the youngers. Taehyung listened and now his tears stopped. "good." jeongguk muttered, hand raising to sort out taehyungs sweaty fringe.

Taehyung gulped and let go of jeongguks arms as he looked at him in embarrassment. "t-thank you jeongguk." he mumbled quietly.

Jeongguk just helped him stand up and then looked at him. "it's fine. You were just scared, you're not used to it."

They walked back to the car and jeongguk was driving them back. Taehyung looked at him from the corner of his eye. It was like he saw a whole other side of jeongguk today— the nice jeongguk. Taehyung liked the nice jeongguk way better.
