You get up when you hear a loud thud, clutching your blanket to your chest. You furrow your eyebrows when you see Jungkook lying on the floor with only his boxers on. He sits up, rubbing his head and murmuring, "Ow, ow, ow, ow." You chuckle, sitting up straight and speaking, "Are you okay?"

Jungkook looks up at you, pouting, "No, I fell off cause you kicked me!"

You gasp, offended as you use one hand to straighten your hair out and the other to keep your blanket secure on your chest. "How dare you!" You say, "There is no fucking way I kicked you off."

Jungkook chuckles at your irritated expression, standing up off the floor and tossing you his shirt to wear. You grab it, pulling it on over your head and letting out a small, "Thanks." Jungkook smiles small at you in reply, wearing his pants as he lays down next to you again.

He roams his eyes over your form, noticing every way of how you looked with his shirt on. He smiles wide, seeing you look for a scrunchie to tie your hair with and swearing when you couldn't find your black one. He turns around, reaching over to the floor and seeing your missing scrunchie lying there. He picks it up, turning around and pointing at it, "Is this what you're looking for?"

You nod, about to reach out to snatch it from him when he moves his hand away. You groan at his childishness, "Jeon, give it." Smiling, he shakes his head and mumbles, "No, I wanna make your hair."

You raise an eyebrow, "You sure you can do it?" He widens his eyes in offence, "What, you think I can't? I'm hurt." You roll your eyes, turning around so he could make your hair. Jungkook grabs as much of your hair as he can, figuring out how to make the messy bun you always made. After a minute of contemplation, Jungkook randomly takes all of your hair and pulls at it. You wince at the pain, shouting, "Ow!" He finally finishes, tying it up.

You get out of bed, moving to your bathroom to check at what he'd done. Seeing the absolute mess on your head, you snort before moving back into your room and clapping. "Wow, it looks great." You say, sarcastically. You then take the scrunchie off, proceeding to make your hair in a normal way. Jungkook scoffs, crossing his arms on his chest, "I thought it looked great."

After finishing with your hair, you put on your shorts before moving up to Jungkook and cupping his face in your hands. You peck his lips, mumbling, "It did not. You need lessons in making hair, honestly." Jungkook chuckles, "It's so sad how you can insult me but then kiss me right after and I won't be offended." You nod, "I know." And then kiss his cheek again before moving into the bathroom to freshen up.

Jungkook was left holding his cheek with a wide smile on his face.

-

You chew on a piece of toast, listening as Namjoon re-explained the plan. Once everyone understood, he adds, "We're leaving at 7pm sharp. Got it?" You nod in understanding, drinking your orange juice.

Yoongi takes a seat next to you, taking a sip of his water before speaking, "You do realise all of us heard what was happening last night?" You spit out the juice in your mouth, coughing hard as Mizuki patted your back, trying to calm you down. Namjoon chuckles, handing you some water which you slowly gulp down. He looks towards Yoongi, "Was telling her that really necessary, Yoongi?" Yoongi nods, snorting, "A hundred percent."

Jungkook sits down next to Namjoon, eyeing the weird looks on all your faces before asking, "What are we talking about?" You let out a high-pitched, "Nothing!" before going back to eating your food.

Jungkook raises an eyebrow before shrugging and eating his food too. Kai sits down on Namjoon's left, resting his chin on his palm, "Is everyone ready?" You nod, feeling determined and confident. Bruno jumps up onto the table, sitting down and answering, "I am super ready. Although I wish you'd allow me to do more than just the fighting."

"That reminds me," Namjoon says, taking an object out of his pocket. It was the key in all its glory. Namjoon looks at it before handing it to Yoongi, "This enables Bruno's attack mode. As soon as you enter the building, insert it into him."

Yoongi looks at the key weirdly before raising an eyebrow, "Insert it where?" Jungkook snorts, "You'll find out. Good luck with that." Yoongi tilts his head in confusion, deciding to shrug it off. Mizuki looks over at you, "How're you feeling?"

With a smile thrown in his direction, you answer, "Pretty pumped up, not gonna lie. I'm still kinda nervous though, I hope Yoongi's training doesn't go to waste."

Yoongi looks at you, smirking, "If it does, get ready for another three hour long session. I can't have the Min Yoongi's student disappointing him." You roll your eyes, chuckling, "The Min Yoongi made me train so much that my arms felt like they were gonna drop off. I think I won't disappoint him." Yoongi smiles, a genuine one this time.

-

You slide on your pants, tucking your shirt in and attaching the gun holsters to your shoulders. You wear your watch on your wrist, keeping your mother's ring on your finger just in case. You didn't forget to wear the one Jungkook gave you though, sliding it onto your left thumb. You leave your hair open, staring at your reflection in the mirror before slipping your boots on and running out the bathroom.

You see Bruno on your bed, who upon noticing you, jumps off of it. He struts over to you, smiling, "You look great. Although I do miss your 'save-the-world' outfit; it would go better for this scenario." You nod, chuckling before sitting down and taking Bruno into your lap. You mumble, "I wonder where all those clothes went. Oh well."

Bruno nods, closing his eyes as you pet him.

Your expression gets serious and you lift him up, forcing him to open his eyes. Once open you make eye contact with him, pupils dilating. "Bruno," You start, "I need you to guarantee me one thing."

Bruno tilts his head to the side in the most adorable way, blinking fast. Taking in a deep breath, you speak, "That you won't get hurt." Bruno smiles, jumping onto you and cuddling you before shouting, "I won't, I promise!"

You cuddle him, feeling his familiar warmth. It reminded you of the past, and all of a sudden a million memories came flooding through your head. You sigh, not wanting to relive the past with Jungkook.

Just as that name flashes through your head the door to your room opens, revealing a fully dressed Jungkook. He shuts the door behind him, furrowing his eyebrows when seeing you and Bruno chilling on the floor. He sits down in front of you two, smiling, "You planning on coming or not?"

You smile over at him, not saying a single word. Sensing the sadness in your smile, Jungkook's face falls as he asks, "What's wrong?" You look at him, face falling as well. Grabbing hold of his hand, you ask, "Can you promise me one thing, Jeon?"

Jungkook tilts his head to the side, similar to the way Bruno did. He slowly asks, "What is it?" You smile softly, gulping. Finally, you speak, "Promise me you won't die."

Jungkook's eyes soften and he grasps hold of your hand tightly, almost in assurance. "I promise." He says, before slowly leaning towards you and planting his lips onto yours for a sweet second.

-

You were all standing on the road which led to the building, getting ready to attack. Rows of guards were standing on the road, taking up all of the space. You all were standing in a circle, eyeing each other's worried faces before Namjoon finally speaks, "This is where we split up. Mizuki," Namjoon pauses, looking at Mizuki before continuing, "you know where the building is, right? Take all the guards there and attack from the front." Mizuki nods in understanding.

Jungkook pulls you away, out of everyone else's vision. He looks into your eyes, asking, "Are you ready?" You nod, holding Jungkook's hand tightly. You look up at him, eyes glazing over. Smiling, you speak, "Are you ready, Kook? After this place, I'm not gonna be there."

Jungkook chuckles, tapping the ear piece in your ear and then his. "That's why we have these things." He pauses, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear before continuing, "God, I'm gonna miss this face."

You snort, tapping Jungkook's shoulder, "Your cheesiness is just never-ending, isn't it." He nods, before leaning down and kissing you, wrapping his arms around your waist. You kiss him back, tilting your head and circling your arms around his neck. Finally, you both pull back and he whispers, "I love you."

You smile small, "I love you too. Don't forget your promise." He nods, smiling as he mumbles, "I won't."

And with that, Namjoon calls you two over. He smiles at you before speaking, "Attack when I give you the signal. Just charge in, no hesitation. Got it?" You, Mizuki and Yoongi nod.

And with that, Namjoon's team sets off through the woods, guns clutched in their hands and determined smiles on their faces.

They hike through the woods before Namjoon stops at a clearing, taking out a flashlight from his backpack. With a tilt of his head, Kai asks, "What are you doing?" Namjoon crouches down on the soil, before beginning to claw at it with his hands. "Help me out," He says, and Kai and Jungkook do so, beginning to dig at the soil with their hands.

After a good few minutes of digging, Jungkook doesn't feel soil anymore, instead feeling his fingers claw against some sharp metal surface. "Over here!" Jungkook says, and Kai and Namjoon run over, removing the excess soil.

Finally, a door like structure is revealed to be sprouting out of the ground. "Is this the entrance we're gonna use?" Kai asks, uncertainty laced in his voice. Namjoon nods, pulling his sleeves up and gripping the wheel tightly. Jungkook and Kai also do the same, and the three begin to use as much of their power as they can to get the wheel to turn. Once fully turned, Jungkook pulls it open, revealing a ladder leading down to an empty hallway.

Namjoon climbs down first with the torch in his hand. Once all three are at the bottom, he opens his backpack, pulling out a map of the tunnels which led to the prison cells containing the civilians. He hands the torch to Kai, utilising both of his hands to open the map before pointing at a specific place. "This is where we are," He says, "and this is where we need to get."

Jungkook nods in understanding, cocking his gun while walking forwards, "I'll lead."

-

You finish loading both your guns, attaching them to your holsters before sighing. You were sitting on the bonnet of the car which you had come in, waiting for Namjoon to give you the signal.

Mizuki climbs up next to you, crossing his legs before speaking, "Ah, it's pretty boring right now. I wanna kick some ass soon."

You laugh slightly, leaning back on the windshield of the car in an effort to relax yourself before mumbling, "I just hope they're able to get there without problem." Yoongi sighs, stretching as he speaks, "They have Namjoon, it's practically impossible for them to get lost." Mizuki nods in agreement.

You sigh, tapping the car in impatience. When are they gonna give us the signal? I hope the guards didn't get them. Oh shit, what if they did. We're fucked- You think to yourself, trying to get yourself to calm down by shutting your eyes.

Yoongi looks at the tense expression on your face, chuckling to himself. His eyes find their way to Mizuki, who was also watching you closely. Mizuki gives Yoongi a look, eyebrow cocking up and a slight smirk gracing his features. Yoongi rolls his eyes, well aware of what his friend was about to do. Mizuki scoots next to you, pursing his lips to portray an act of innocence before mumbling, "You know, I saw Jeon with a girl at the party."

Your eyes fly open, pupils staring at Mizuki with a look of confusion as an unknown feeling makes its way through your chest. Seeing you sit up straight with a look of interest in your eyes, Mizuki continues, "Yeah, they seemed really close too. She was flirting with him, and the worst part was that he was flirting back!"

"Huh?!" You shout, grabbing Mizuki's shirt and pulling him so his face aligned directly with yours. Yoongi snorts as you ask, "Was this when I was dancing with Yoongi?" Mizuki nods, trying to hold back his laughter which threatened to erupt from the back of his throat. You poke your tongue against the inside of your cheek, eyes narrowing, "How close were they?"

Mizuki leans closer to you, till his breath was practically hitting your nose. With a smirk, he mumbles, "This close."

You grit your teeth, pulling back and releasing Mizuki's shirt. Your eyes darken, an evil look appearing on your face as you crack your knuckles, "Ah, and then he had the nerve to be mad at me for dancing with a guy? The hypocrisy is unbelievable."

Mizuki scratches the side of his head, smirk growing, "Oh, come to think of it..."

You raise an eyebrow, eyes boring into the side of Mizuki's face. He turns to look at you, licking his lips before speaking, "...I think I saw them kiss as well."

Yoongi bursts into laughter as your eyes widen before you jump off of the car, clenching your jaw in annoyance. Mizuki jumps down as well, a sly smile on his face as he asks, "You wanna know how she did it?"

You gulp, nodding slowly. Mizuki smirks, stepping closer to you, leaving little to no gap. He leans down, mumbling, "So first she came really close," He then proceeds to grab your shirt, pulling you close as well, "and then she grabbed him like this. And then she kissed him... like this." Just as Mizuki was about to plant his lips onto your own, Yoongi places his hand between the two of you, causing Mizuki's lips to land on Yoongi's palm.

Mizuki's eyes widen as he leans back in disappointment. Yoongi wipes his hand on his shirt in disgust, rolling his eyes. Mizuki groans, "It was going so well, Yoongi." Yoongi sends the disheartened Mizuki a harsh glare, eyes narrowing. Mizuki's eyes unknowingly widen, since this was the first time Yoongi had given him this specific look, a look which seemed to have some sort of hidden meaning behind it. Yoongi's light grey eyes seemed to drastically darken, pupils boring into Mizuki's. The rest of his face remained relaxed, with only his eyes tracing the expression on Mizuki's face. Mizuki tilts his head, sliding his tongue over his bottom lip before smirking in realisation.

You gasp, glaring at Mizuki, "I can't believe you were actually about to kiss me." Mizuki tears his eyes away from Yoongi's, who had also relaxed his face. Mizuki chuckles, shrugging, "Figured I could use the opportunity." You roll your eyes, before widening them again, "Wait, you said she grabbed him... what did she grab?"

Mizuki's face falls as he lets out, "Uh, his tie?"

You facepalm at this man's stupidity, shutting your eyes in annoyance. Between clenched teeth, you speak, "Mizuki, that was me, you retard!" Mizuki chuckles, mouth making an 'o' shape. But right now, he was too busy remembering the look on Yoongi's face for him to be worried about you.

You groan, rolling your eyes and walking away from the pair, instead choosing to run over to Bruno, who was busy taking a power nap on the side of the road.

Mizuki looks in Yoongi's direction, smirking. Yoongi ignored him, focusing on loading his gun with a blank look on his face, the deathly glare long gone. Mizuki leans against the car, looking away from Yoongi and at the sky before speaking, "Her, huh? You finally chose a girl and it had to be one who's already taken."

Yoongi freezes, eyeing the gun in his hands. He slowly inserts the bullets in, looking up at Mizuki with an eyebrow raised as he cocks the gun. Mizuki still refuses to look at Yoongi, eyeing the twinkling stars in the night sky. With a sigh, Mizuki mumbles, "I mean, really? The man who's incapable of falling in love going ahead and setting his heart on a girl he can't have? You're hurting no one but yourself, Yoon-"

Mizuki gets cut off upon hearing a gun go off. Looking at Yoongi, he sees the man standing there, gun pointed at Mizuki's feet. Mizuki looks down, eyes widening intensely when he sees the bullet lodged into the road, a few mere centimetres away from his left foot. He looks up at Yoongi, for the first time, in fear. Yoongi grits his teeth, making eye contact with the boy in front of him. Mizuki notices the same look, the same glare in his eyes, one that seemed deathly, almost terrifying. "You think..." Yoongi begins, eyeing Mizuki's astounded expression before continuing, "...You think I don't know that? I was aware of that since the day of the party, and I've come to terms with it." Yoongi's eyes drop to the floor as he lowers his gun.

Mizuki pushes himself off the car, taking slow steps towards Yoongi. Once near him, Mizuki speaks, "You like her that much?"

Yoongi looks up immediately, making eye contact with Mizuki and mumbling, "Yeah, yeah I do. But I'm fine, I'm fine not being with her romantically, I'm fine watching her from afar, I'm fine not showing her my true feelings." Mizuki's eyes soften as Yoongi licks his lips, speaking, "I'm fine as long as I get to help her. That's all I want."

Yoongi looks at you playing with Bruno, and a small, sad smile graces his usually blank features. Out of nowhere, Mizuki embraces Yoongi in a tight hug, sniffing. Yoongi's eyes widen at the unexpected intimacy coming from the boy and takes a step back in surprise. Mizuki sniffles, tears filling his eyes, "That was so deep, Yoongs, oh my god! I support you a hundred percent, you're the man, no joke. I love you so much, it's okay if you're single cause I might just end up becoming gay for you and marring you-"

"Okay, stop right there." Yoongi says, chuckling. He pats Mizuki on the back as a sign for him to let go. Mizuki does so, still sniffling and wiping his tears. Yoongi rolls his eyes, this time with a small smile on his face.

That smile falls off his face as he hears Namjoon's voice ringing in his right ear though the device,

"It's go time."
