You curl your body up, landing in the fountain with a huge splash. Luckily, it had been deeper than what you were expecting and so you managed to not get injured. But you still had cuts all over your body from the shards of glass from the broken window. You lift your head out of the water, wiping at your face with your hands before stepping out of the fountain, tucking your gun back into its strap.

You quickly run inside the building, ignoring the desk lady who stood up in surprise when looking at your wet state. "Miss-" She calls out to you but you ignore her, running straight past her before going up to where Kai and Bruno were.

Kai gasps when seeing you and you wave him off, jumping over the black desk and pulling his figure down so you both were leaning behind the table. He roams his eyes all over your wet clothes and running makeup, mouth open. Bruno also runs in, gasping when seeing you before shouting, "What the fuck-" You cut him off, whispering, "He knows. It's not Ji-Hyun, it's someone else, we have to go now, get Jungkook and Mizuki out of there!"

Kai nods, gulping before mumbling into the ear piece, "I found Y/N, everybody out of the party and into the getaway van now!!!"

You, Bruno and Kai run out the mansion, moving to the getaway van which was parked two blocks away. The guard sees you approaching and gets out, opening the back of the van for you to jump into. Once settled down, the door opens again for Jungkook and Mizuki, who both also collectively widen their eyes upon seeing you.

You all sit down, and the driver drives off into the night.

Jungkook sits down next to you, immediately taking off his jacket before wrapping it around your shoulders. You hug it close, shivering. Jungkook takes his mask off before speaking, "What the fuck happened? Why's your face bleeding?"

You lift your hand up, touching your cheek and feeling blood. You chuckle before mumbling, "Uh, I jumped out of the second story window."

"You what?!" They all shout, eyeing you weirdly. You sigh before looking at Jungkook asking him, "How'd you let Ji-Hyun- scratch that, the demon get away?"

Jungkook shrugs before mumbling, "He said he wanted to go to the bathroom so I couldn't stop him." You sigh again, lifting your wet hair up and tying it into a bun before speaking, "He cornered me and was about to kill me. I shot him and jumped out the window before anything could happen." You look at Mizuki, "He's not Ji-Hyun. He's a demon who possessed Ji-Hyun's body and killed him."

Mizuki's eyes widen and he tilts his head to the side in confusion. You groan in annoyance before speaking again, "He killed my brother. He killed him."

You clench your jaw, remembering the demon's harsh words and psychotic laughter. You desperately wanted revenge, to kill him the same way he killed your brother. Mizuki scratches his head, pulling his mask off, "That makes more sense. Anyways let's get home and get some sleep. I'll figure out what to do later."

You nod, gulping.

You step out of the shower, drying your hair with a towel. You walk into your room, flinching when seeing Jungkook already there, sitting on your bed and reading a book. You raise an eyebrow, setting your towel down on the bed before mumbling, "Why're you here?"

Jungkook looks up, shutting the book in his hands and setting it on the table next to your bed before standing up and grabbing your arm. You look over at him in surprise, and he pulls you back, making you sit down on the bed before taking out the first aid kit he brought with him.

Your eyes soften at this and you sigh, speaking, "I can do it myself, you know."

Jungkook shakes his head, taking out some ointment and rubbing it onto a cotton ball. He sits down in front of you, beginning to disinfect the cut on your cheek. "I couldn't save you again," He says, clenching his jaw, "This is the least I can do."

You smile softly, allowing him to treat your wound, "You need to stop worrying about me, you're not my protector."

He takes out a bandage, placing it on your cheek before looking into your eyes, "I'm sorry for being so useless."

Your eyes widen, smile falling instantly. You slowly lift your arms up, embracing Jungkook in a tight hug, your hands around his neck. His eyes widen at your sudden action, before he wraps his arms around your waist, gripping you tightly. With a sigh, he nuzzles his face into the side of your neck.

You smile, "You've got some nerve saying that shit in front of me."

He chuckles softly before mumbling, "It's true though."

You shake your head, resting your chin on his shoulder, "It's not true at all. Even though you weren't there, I still came out of that place alive so it doesn't really matter. Plus, you can't always keep saving me, what am I gonna do after we go back to our separate, normal lives?"

Jungkook's eyes widen. He hadn't thought abut this at all, the fact that after all this was over, you guys wouldn't be the same as you are now. He didn't want to lose you at all, let alone live completely away from you and go back to not talking to you. He wanted things to stay as they were. He gulps, "Do our lives have to go back to being separate?"

You freeze, thinking about what he said. You understood him completely, you didn't want it to go back to normal as well, but there was nothing you could do about it. Once it was over, it was over. You speak, "I guess they have to. There's nothing we can do about it."

Jungkook sighs, "I don't want that."

You nod, feeling tears brim the corner of your eyes as you remember how you had lost Ji-Hyun. You didn't want to lose Jungkook too. "I don't want that either," You say, hugging him tighter.

Jungkook feels his eyes fill with tears of his own, and sniffles lightly. You hear this and are about to move away when he grabs hold of your head, pulling you back to the hugging position so you couldn't see his tears. Your eyes soften at this and you move your right hand up, playing with the soft locks of hair on his head.

Jungkook's first tear falls, but it definitely wasn't the last one to fall that specific night.
