"Taehyung..?" Jungkook asks shakily, trying not to turn insane anymore as he stepped closer

Taehyung sobs, but then again opening his eyes before pushing Jin inside the van with his remaining strength.

It was Jin who was shot.

Jin grunts, coughing blood as he was shot in his stomach. He covers the wound with his bloody hand, trying to stop the blood from pouring as Taehyung threw the gun away, panicking.

"Ju-jungkook.. I-I.." Taehyung whimpers, shocked when he had realized that he shot Jin during their gun-fight

Jungkook in the other hand was also shocked. His baby shot someone, which was something he couldn't do for a living.

"Shush, baby.." Jungkook says as he crouched down to meet the level of Taehyung who was now in sitting position

"You did what's right.. He almost killed you," Jungkook praised as he caressed Taehyung's hair assuringly as he was shaking in fear

"B-but he'll die, Jungkook! He'll die because of me!" Taehyung says, completely bursting into tears as he looks at Jin who was trying to fight conciousness "A-and I don't want that." He gulps, staring down at his hands to which were also a bit bloody

"I will take care of this, yeah? It won't be your fault, what you did was clearly self defense. And who says we're reporting this? I'm good at hiding bodies Taehyung." Jungkook says as he stood back up, guiding Taehyung to the van also

"Wai-wait!" Taehyung says while shrieking "I-I don't wanna sot beside him! I don't wanna!" He whined out loud but he was left no choice when he sees a threatening glare from Jungkook

"Watch over him if you want him alive. We're taking his van to leave no evidences. Good thing you threw him straight to thw car or I'll have problems with his blood." Jungkook says as he picks up the gun on the cemented floor

Just as when he closed the van door, the parking lot's main door opens only to reveal a certain dark haired male he met at the supermarket.

"Oh! Jungkook-- hey dude are you okay?" Hoseok asks worriedly, stepping closer to Jungkook as he inspects the blood on his nose

Taehyung's eyes widened, silently watching inside the heavily tinted van in pure sadness. There was his hyung again, but yet he can't ask for help anymore.

"Yeah. I'm alright. I am always like this if I don't take my medicines right." Jungkook excused with a chuckle, pretending to pinch his nose to stop the blood

"Should I take you to the nearby hospital? It looks bad seeing your bruises. Did someone do this to you?" Hoseok asks again, looking at the small droplets of dried blood on the floor

"No, it's okay. I can handle myself." Jungkook says with a forced polite smile on his face, trying not to make it like something happened earlier

"Hyung.. " Taehyung sighs, clenching his fist as he turns to look at Jin with sad eyes "I'm sorry hyung.. Here let me stop the blood." He grabs a cloth, putting it on the wound as Jin weakly hissed in pain

"Taehyung," He hissed out from the pain "Please, I-I'm sorry bu-but I-I wanna live.. I wanna kn-know wh-what happened to Bo-Bogum.." Jin gulps out, swallowing a small portion of blood from his tongue as he whimpered from the pain everytime he talks

Taehyung's furrowed his eyebrows, feeling bad for the elder as he turned to the tinted window seeing Hoseok and Jungkook still conversing.

He knew Jungkook won't let the poor man live longer, for he had hurt him. So he decides to pay back what he did by telling him the twisted truth.

"H-hyung.." Taehyung starts off, staring at Jin's half lidded eyes

"Bogummie.." His tears starts to collect on his eyes, biting his lip as he continued "He.. Didn't die by accident.. Jungkook killed him.. Because of me." He finally blurts out, finally letting a little weight get off his heavy heart as Jin looked calm, a small smile cracking up as he slowly nods

"Th.. Thank you for.. Telling me Taehyung, but.." Jin coughs, a short hiss follows as Taehyung quietly listens

"If I die, please bring justice to Bogum." He pleads almost obviously as Taehyung's eyes widened

"Hyung? But I don't think I can--"

"Please, do it for him, you're his bestfriend Taehyung." Jin says as Taehyung gulps, taking a shaky breath out as he slowly nods his head

He doesn't know how he will bring justice to his bestfriend, but he will do it. For the sake of Bogum and Jin- even if he had almost selled him out.

"I will, hyung." Taehyung finally says as Jin assures him back with a small smile

Meanwhile, Jungkook had enough of Hoseok pursuading him to aid his nose and bruises. He had wanted to shoot the male with the gun-- but Taehyung will see it, and it'll lead off to another problem.

"I said I am fine, Hoseok!" Dropping the honorifics, he tried his best not to glare at Hoseok who was shocked at his sudden disrespect

Catching his small suspicion, he immediately acts like he was shocked from his own words.

"Hyung, I'm sorry.. I was just.. Stressed by alot of things lately. Don't worry alright? I wanna just.. Go home now and rest everthing off." Jungkook says, sadness laced on his tone as Hoseok finally gave up

"Alright, if you need any help just call me." Hoseok says as he gave him his calling card, giving him a tap on his shoulder before finally waving good bye

He watched quietly as Hoseok unlocked his car, stepping inside quietly as he shuts the door.

Jungkook looks down at the calling card, pushing it in harshly inside his coat as he mumbled, "Detective, huh. Call you shitass instead." Then he opens the van door checking on Taehyung who yelped when he suddenly opened the door, as Jin was staring at him weakly, unable to move.

Hoseok drives off quietly from his parked area, and before he turned to the corner, he sees the familiar brown haired male on his rear view mirror.

"Taehyung?" He mumbles as he sees Jungkook shut the van door again, going over to the driver's seat

Hoseok's eyes widened, he couldn't be wrong this time.

"Could Taehyung be possibly under Jungkook's control.. But was too scared to tell?"

•••

Hehe. Ofc taetae doesn't die! But of course, something in this chapter will help Taehyung perhaps in the future?

Read well! Enjoy!
